War in Ukraine

[C-south]

Bidens are probably hoping all the financial records go up in war flames.

Probably sent a team in just for that.

That reads completely different than the prior tweet but still how do you reconcile Putin announcing to the world he’s got nukes warmed up on Twitter? Plus for the ranges considered here any short range nuke delivery could launch from Moscow and still hit Kyiv. Why put nukes in Belarus?

Two reasons:
Dispersion of assets makes them more secure. Most of the Russian land based missiles are mobile (unless you believe they have operational hypersonics) because they like moving them around so much. Our accuracy on our independently targeted and manuevering multiple warhead missiles is now less than a yard and that makes them really nervous.

Second reason is political in several ways. First if you're Poland or one of the Baltics it's disconcerting when the missiles are on your border (3 minute flight times versus 6 mins if they're in Russia. It's why Russia has always hated the Turks for letting us first base ICBMs there and later Pershings.
Another political reason is that when an ally let's you put nukes there, and you trust them enough to put the nukes there, it demonstrates a "special relationship." After the Kazakstan fiasco, Putin wants somebody that looks like they're standing side by side with Russia. He's realizing he has gotten killed in the PR war.

And I would be flabbergasted if Putin used tactical nukes. Even the Chinese would go crazy because they would see that as making it easier for us to use tactical nukes to defend Taiwan. Not to mention they are downwind of Ukraine.

Don’t know how reliable (obviously)…good read 8 tweet thread explaining the current situation for Putin

I trust that about as much as I trusted the 4chan Qanon updates.

Well since you're an expert on records, why did Trump take documents so secret that they are not capable of even being described in public to his resort? Do you think he was giving US intel to Putin?

Maybe we’ll find out when Russia invades us.

Where does Mexico stand in all this?

I’m skeptical as well.

Halfway across the rio grande.

Yeah, I have this feeling Russia hasn't really gone all out yet...

I'm not 100%, but I've already told a couple of my Mexican buddies if crap starts flying our way, then I'm heading south with them

As of this morning, they’d only utilized about 25% of what they brought to the region.

Is there a gofundme to send sunflower seeds to the people of Ukraine for distribution to the Russians?

“If Ukraine manages to hold the Russians off for 10 days, then the Russians will have to enter negotiations,” Terras wrote, noting that the war is costing $20 billion a day. “Because they have no money, weapons, or resources.”

According to Terras, Putin was holed up in his “lair in the Urals,” and brought Russian oligarchs with him so they couldn’t flee the country.

TIFWIW - $20B is an extraordinary amount. Based on the media I'm seeing, russia isn't getting a very good value for that dough.

If Putin harms a single hair on the head of one son or daughter of Poland that could be the spark that lights this powder keg. Poland would completely lose their and rail against Russia like a scorned Latina ex-wife/girlfriend.

Yep, Poland has been waiting 80 years for payback against somebody/anybody. Russia would suffice just fine for their taste.

Met a few of their spec ops guys when I was overseas, they are no joke. Chris Kyle talked about them in his book, said they were by far the best to work with.

Poland is the last country anyone should want to F with right now.

You couldn't have polled the entire cast of "Rent" and come up with a gayer thing to say.

Lol

Agree. They could operate for about 3 days (fuel, food, etc) before needing more resources. I believe they greatly underestimated this situation and definitely didn’t have logistics in order. Praying the Ukrainians keep it going. Russians did hold back some of their better equipment. It may not matter though if they can’t get the logistics fixed. We’ve already seen they’re running out of fuel already.
