War in Ukraine

[RDU VOL#14]

We need to show them Iranian ragheads that you don't go messing with America!!! We must sanction them and impose a no-fly zone by-gawd!

Am I doing it right?

No. We target the base that fired those missiles and turn it into a parking lot.

And now the consulate in Iraq was just bombed by Iranian missiles

Has this been confirmed?

We do not want a war, but if a war is what you want, you will not survive.

Right before we go to the beach , Hog let’s me braid his back hair so he feels smexy.

Sounds time consuming.

 

[Rasputin_Vol]

No. We target the base that fired those missiles and turn it into a parking lot.

And then we sanction Iran!?!?






Then Joe can OK the Iran nuclear deal and we can by more oil from them.

All of that, while Russia continues to broker the deal.

 

[Velo Vol]

Sounds positive but who knows

There might be some humanitarian benefit for trapped civilians, but otherwise these talks aren't going to settle anything until the Russian military is in retreat.

 

[Velo Vol]

Pretty good.

This is primarily a story about India and Russia, but they hit on a key point about France, also. So France, Poland and Germany have already shown that they don't have both feet in on the way the US is handling this situation. Now you have the two largest (by population) countries in the world opening their markets to doing trade with Russia outside of the USD.

India Is Mulling Rupee-Ruble Payments System for Trade with Russia

Following the collapse of the Soviet Union, India developed closer relations with the United States. Most recently, under prime minister Narendra Modi, India’s policy tilted even more decisively in a pro-U.S. direction. Modi and Trump shared a strong affinity, and Modi even travelled to the U.S, to host massive rallies intended to galvanize Indian Americans in support of Trump. See this BBC account for further details, What did the Trump-Modi ‘bromance’ achieve?

During the last several months, several considerations have prompted the Modi government to rethink the wisdom of putting all its eggs in the U.S. basket. Instead, India is returning to a more balanced approach, assessing its national interests vis-a-vis those of other countries and acting accordingly.

This AUKUS announcement caused consternation both in France and India. Australia cancelled a $37 billion deal with a French company to supply diesel -powered submarines, prompting French foreign minister Jean-Yves Le Drian, according to the BBC, Aukus: French minister condemns US and Australia ‘lies’ over security pact to accuse the three countries of “duplicity, a major breach of trust and contempt”..” The United States has consistently told India that it couldn’t share sensitive nuclear submarine technology, according to the South China Morning Post, Aukus fallout: for years, US told India it couldn’t share nuclear submarine technology. ‘And now this …’). In the wake of the AUKUS development, France and India have strengthened their bilateral ties, with more of the same expected.

Your point?

I am starting to wonder if Anonymous is a front for certain factions of the US government.

 

[DC_Vol]

Just do it, and I'll do the same. Hell, I've gotten more out of @luthervol than anything you've ever posted.

Ouch, that’s a low blow.

I’ve always thought it might be group of ex .gov people from three letter agencies, military, etc. that felt there was unfinished business that they couldn’t do while employed by the govt. idk.

 

[Rasputin_Vol]

Your point?

That Russia has several different avenues outside of these sanctions. having the two largest countries in the word as trading partners is going to be hard to overcome with US sanctions, especially when both of them need Russian energy.

Interesting read.

That’s interesting? Lol. Do people actually think Russia is using the full night of its military? I mean if Putin really wanted Ukraine it would have been over.

 

[Rasputin_Vol]

Your point?

Also, France, Germany and Poland have shown to be weaker links in the NATO alliance over the last few weeks. Throw in Erdogan and Turkey as their usual wild card selves and it would not surprise me to see that alliance fragment by the end of the decade at the rate things are going.

Yeah, I started to wonder that a while back. I forgot if it was at the start of COVID or maybe some time before then.

It should be clear to anyone paying attention that they are not trying to go in there and bomb the country into rubble.

Yeah if they used nuclear or chemical weapons but Russia’s conventional military is pretty pathetic. It’s what you get when the majority of service members are conscripts, you have almost no NCO corp and a totally corrupt officer corp.

I think the question relates to Russia using all of their conventional weapons in this campaign.

Could Russia bomb Ukraine back to the Stone Age? Sure they could, maybe. I don’t know what they have in their inventory (that works). But the fact remains the Russian ground forces are inept.

And to make it worse they aren't well paid to begin with, and those rubbles aren't going to go far in a foreign country. And you know the good boys in Russian uniforms will always pay for what they take. When the Soviet Union fell apart, the story was the guys in uniform who hadn't been paid much or regularly started selling weapons ... including aircraft. Apparently they just picked a fighter off the ramp (assuming it had fuel) and flew it out -weapons and all.
