No one should have ever believed anything Russia says.After the fall of the USSR, Ukraine had a huge arsenal of nuclear weapons. To encourage Ukraine to give up the weapons and return them to Russia, the USA and Russia told Ukraine that their national integrity would be assured by the two countries. Now we have one of those countries ready to invade Ukraine. It would seem that no country should believe anything from Russia while Putin is the dictator.
Exquisitor:No one should have ever believed anything Russia says.
President Biden told Americans that Putin has made up his mind. He will invade Ukraine, according to the President.If Russia invades, the attacking force is outnumbered by the defending force. It would be disastrous for the aggressor. That is Military Strategy 101.
If Putin decides to invade, he will not only suffer a military defeat, but an economic calamity caused by Western sanctions as well. Russia's economy is vulnerable. It relies almost entirely on exporting energy products. That will come to an abrupt end if Russia invades, and Putin is not stupid.
Since Ukraine has little or no air force, the Russians will be able to run over the Ukrainian army in no time. The Russian's have far superior arms and I think it will be awfulPresident Biden told Americans that Putin has made up his mind. He will invade Ukraine, according to the President.
If Putin invades Ukraine, it would be the Soviet/Afghan War all over again, and with it, the collapse of the Soviet Union.
In April 2005, Putin said the Soviet collapse was a tragedy for Russians.
“First and foremost it is worth acknowledging that the demise of the Soviet Union was the greatest geopolitical catastrophe of the century,” Putin said. “As for the Russian people, it became a genuine tragedy. Tens of millions of our fellow citizens and countrymen found themselves beyond the fringes of Russian territory.
“The epidemic of collapse has spilled over to Russia itself,” he said.
The Afghan fighting force was puny compared to the Ukrainian army, second in size in Europe to Russia's army.
The Soviet–Afghan War was a conflict wherein insurgent groups known collectively as the Mujahideen fought a nine-year guerrilla war against the Democratic Republic of Afghanistan (DRA) and the Soviet Army. Eventually the Soviet army had to withdraw in defeat.
The war was costly in bodies and cash, largely bankrupting the Soviet Union. Western sanctions contributed to the bankruptcy. Two years later the Soviet Union collapsed.
The collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991 was one of the biggest historic events of Twentieth Century. The occupation of Afghanistan caused irreversible internal conflicts between the Soviet republics and the Soviet government.
“First and foremost it is worth acknowledging that the demise of the Soviet Union was the greatest geopolitical catastrophe of the century.”
Will Putin cause Russia to make the same mistake again?
Despite the words of our President, there are serious doubts.
The agreement that the world is asking Russia to adhere to is the agreement they themselves signed, The Budapest Memorandum signed when Ukraine agreed to give up its nukes:Who else thinks Putin is leading Russia into the great abyss? He thinks the US is weak under Biden and he has a special relationship with Chairman Xi of China. But is he being well advised by his staff?
Russia hasWhat about the 10-20,000 blue eyed and fair haired women from Ukraine who were shipped down to the German base in Antarctica during WW2 ?
Another unusual fact .
Incidentally OP , who exactly has already invaded Ukraine?
Sleepy, family and their crime syndicate make millions out of Kiev and the US ships them billions in arms and has special forces training the neo nazi resistance troops .
Has Sleepy and his family convoy got serious plans to roll in to Russia for some more piracy ?
True, but one can't conquer territory by air.Since Ukraine has little or no air force, the Russians will be able to run over the Ukrainian army in no time. The Russian's have far superior arms and I think it will be awful
This phony alleged war between Russia and Ukraine is getting ludicrous.Second to last step in the Russia pretext for invasion campaign this morning with Russian Separatists in Donbas formally requesting that Russian Troopers cross the border. Last step will be Russian Troopers crossing.
Monster Putin moving closer to taking more territory in Ukraine.
