Russia vs Ukraine anyone watching this ignite?

[BugI02]

Lack I checked, nobody has invaded us?

Seems like the only trouble we've got into, we went looking for across the ocean.

You do know that quote is Neville Chamberlain not Bush, yes? Because if you do, you are glossing over the blitz, the indiscriminate targeting of civilians with non-precision long range weapons, the Holocaust, Pearl Harbor, The Bataan Death March etc

Should we sit idly by while Russia and China seek to form another Axis? And does 'the indiscriminate targeting of civilians by non-precision long range weapons' ring any Ukrainian bells for you

I mention it not because I believe we should get involved in Ukraine beyond supplying them with effective arms, I mention it because appeasement has no, zero, nada record of success and we are admonished to learn from history or repeat it

An alliance of powers that thinks itself powerful enough to rule the world will always have a go at it sooner or later

She looks nice.

Is she available via mail-order? I mean, she seems like a more attractive choice than a Nigerian prince... just sayin'...

Well, the A-10s would be flying over Ukrainian soil so there would be no Russian air defenses to contend with sans some low level tactical stuff. For F-35's SEAD is the new CAS. They would obliterate anything the Ruskies brought with them and the A-10's would sweep the field.

Also, if you're doing CAS in contested airspace you're doing it wrong and pilot attrition might not be the worst of your worries.

A-10's were lost in Iraq in the first gulf war. That airspace was nothing like what they'd face in Europe. The threats to it today are much greater.

I wouldn't even consider flying an A10 over Ukraine when the F-35 is available.

I can almost hear the Polish border guards: "We caught her with seven...er...I mean six suitcases full of cash."

Beats everyone in the car was resisting and killed. Nothing was found in the car or trunk.

That's the Russian border guard version. Telling that story while shopping for yachts on Ebay.

The question is, are you signing up to fight that war or are you telling your neighbor to go do it for you?

If you really believe in it, go to it.

As for an alliance of powers seeking the power to rule the world... Tell me again, who has been behaving that way for better half of the past century?

Alas, I have no first strike capability

As far as the second question, USSR/Russia and China

See: Iron curtain, Berlin blockade, Hungary, Czechoslovakia, Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan 1.0, Cambodia, Cuba, Nicaragua - I'm sure I've left some out but you get the picture

Bad time to be a Russian in Ukraine

Probably not a bad idea to check your stash to make sure they are not expired. Prices went crazy 2 weeks ago and climbing on these.

Worried that Russia will launch a nuclear strike, European countries with vivid memories of Chernobyl are preparing.

It stands to reason that there would be some resentment towards the people attacking your country. Not justifying it but this stuff happens. As far as the bodies in front of the store i would guess execution of looters is a possibility but just a guess.

Edit: There does appear to be some damage to the building well above street level. Hard to tell exactly what happened.

Iodine to block the body's uptake of radioactive iodine, not so good against Cesium 137 and strontium 90 etc

You don't need a first strike capability, just a plane ticket. They'll provide you with everything you need.
