War in Ukraine

[LouderVol]

Russia has no way of realistically controlling large foreign lands without the vast majority of the people in those lands to support the action.
f.

why does russia need to control those territories? That was clearly not what I was suggesting in my post. A neutral set of nations outside of the US and Russia. You are so selective in what you respond to.

Russia doesnt want peace or a buffer. They want puppets they can control.

Putin's causing a second refugee crisis.

Do you all really believe everything you see on Twitter?

Because of what I have already said or in the alternative, because they said so. Its moot.

No to mobilization Russians take to the streets countrywide after Putin announces call-up — Meduza

This is beginning to look a lot like when the Berlin wall fell.

These tanks were first introduced in the early 1960s. What a joke.

Watch out for low flying turrets in the next few weeks.

Iran is also in flames rn. If you are not familiar with the story. The "morality police" pulled an innocent woman off the street for not wearing her garb correctly, and beat her to death with a baton. Iran's women are burning their garbs and rioting.

reminds me of the arab spring.

Russian media warns anyone who protests will be drafted into the military

This would be interesting.
A military made up of people who protested against the mobilization.

no reason not to nuke your own army then eh?

 

[Hunerwadel]

The last 6 months, as well as the Afghan war, has shown NATO will arm people that Russia invades.

But in more than 70 years Russia has not been invaded from the west. For at least the first 10 years NATO had nukes and Russia didnt, so obviously that's not the sole thing keeping NATO down.

This is the longest time of peace, from western invasion, in Russia's history. Clearly NATO is not a threat. It's pure Russian politician bs to say NATO is a threat to them.

China and Russia have fought each other in that time. They should be more worried about the CCP than NaTO

I'm not sure that you understand that NATO is clearly a threat to Russian expansion.

Finally, someone gets it right. The only threat NATO is to Russia is to keep them from invading their neighbors.

 

[DonjoVol]

If Russia didn't care, they wouldn't be lying about it 10 times a day.

Russian leadership is insecure and weak. Their "strength" was just an image that all but the most easily duped see through now.

What are they lying about?

And we're one to talk about strength with this current administration we have in place here.

 

[LSU-SIU]

Duplication, the irony.

It seems like they got that one wrong as well. Twice.

Serious question here. Should Syria ask NATO for assistance, money and weapons to get their invaders out?

Which NATO country has Russia invaded? Why are other countries begging to be included in NATO? The only way to stop a bully is to stand up to them. These smaller countries can't do that without the help of NATO, more specifically the U.S..

I was specifically talking about western European countries since Russia borders them. Syria is a different animal. Due to the Arab Spring BS that did nothing but reek havoc in the area, I doubt Syria would ask NATO or the US for anything ever again and I cant blame them for that.

It didn't help their neighbor the Ukraine.

You mean like the size of say countries like Syria, Iraqi, Afganistan, Panama, Libya, Grenada, Somalia, Sudan, Yemen, Yugoslavia, and Bosnia.

So, the United States won't help in getting the invaders out of Syria, like the ones by the oil fields?

Ukraine is not a member of NATO if it was Russia would have never attack in 2014 or 2022.

How far back to do you want to go in terms of Russia or the US "occupying" or "liberating" countries? The only difference is we try to leave them better off than when we found them. We don't normally succeed at that for a variety of reasons. Russia has no intent to help, just to conquer and enlarge their empire or aspirations of restoring the old USSR

They were actually precluded from joining even though they have been trying to join for 20 years. Russia is not capable of invading large masses of Europe letting alone occupying it.

In the context of my comment, present day. The United States presently has about 1000 invaders in the sovereign country of Syria. Technically, the United states still has quite a few in Iraqi under the puppet regime they setup there as well, but probably a whole other subject.

This country has been bombing and invading "liberating" countries for so long I could see how you could get confused, its a lot to keep track of.

That sounds like a fighting force to be reckoned with.

Of course Russia is not capable based on what we have seen in Ukraine.

There should be no US solders in Syria, period. Does that make you feel better?
