War in Ukraine

[RDU VOL#14]

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.

I don’t think many people wanted this situation, but…

Poland wants all the smoke.

Ukraine claims gas pipeline was blown up by Russian forces in Kharkiv

A Ukraine government Telegram channel claimed that Russian forces blew up a gas pipeline in Kharkiv on early Sunday morning.

The Telegram post said that the blast was not the result of a nuclear strike, despite a similar appearance.

Is that True, Magnetic or Peter?

I see what you did here...

 

[rjd970]

So if Russia uses Nukes on the Ukraine, what will NATO do?

Probably more sanctions and throw in some extra diversity training for good measure.

 

[Matt2496]

No sane person ever would.

Is Putin sane?

I have my reservations.

What would be the purpose of them using a nuke on Ukraine ?

This isn't going to happen.

"The United States and Western allies sought to cripple Russia's banking sector and currency Saturday with an extraordinary set of sanctions punishing Moscow's invasion of Ukraine.

Taking measures unprecedented against a country of Russia's size and international stature, the allies cut selected banks from the SWIFT system, rendering them isolated from the rest of the world.

They hobbled the Russian central bank's ability to use reserves to support the already sinking ruble, which a senior US official said will now "go into freefall."

And they warned that a task force will "hunt down" the "yachts, jets, fancy cars and luxury homes" owned around the world by oligarchs in President Vladimir Putin's ultra-wealthy inner circle, the US official said."

and

"Sanctioning Russia’s central bank is likely to have a dramatic effect on the Russian economy and its banking system, Elina Ribakova, deputy chief economist for the Institute of International Finance, said before the latest round of penalties was announced. “This would likely lead to massive bank runs and dollarization, with a sharp sell-off, drain on reserves -- and, possibly, a full-on collapse of Russia’s financial system.”

I read where getting unplugged would shrink their economy by 5%. I wanna see it to believe it.

Putin wanting to end it and not let it drag out.

I think many people do now.

I could see Ukraine using one in the end if they had one……but if they had one this wouldn’t be happening.

Noy more diversity training! Anything but that.

 

[InVOLuntary]

Would be suicide. England and France have 500 nukes between them. Nukes are nothing more than a gaudy ring on ones hand. No one will ever use them anymore.

I'd bet we have nuclear subs right off the Ukraine coast. Probably subs that contain nuclear tipped missiles.

 

[BP4Prez]

Feel like Putin has successfully united the whole world against him.

I thought it was funny that one of the rollbacks that Medvedev floated was "reinstating the death penalty."

I thought it was some sort of euphemism for something like a super nuke option, but laughed when it was literally that. Western Europe must be aghast.

Without a doubt.

 

[rjd970]

I don’t know what to believe as far as status, but feels like if Russia was the least bit competent they would already have their flag flying over the capital.

 

[NorthDallas40]

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.

This time they don’t ride out on horses swinging sabers against German tanks. This time they are better armed and trained than the Russians and have 80 years of pent up aggression just looking for somewhere to vent. If Poland cuts lose on Russia the rest of Europe would be like …

He's about a asshair away from being trotted before a tribunal at The Hague after shelling a hospital if NATO "cashs him owside."

Well, 5% is fully unplugging. Keeping enough banks in to process oil and gas transactions will have limited impact. Again, more "window dressing"

Well played, inDeeD. Mucho kudos.
