Because it is actually in Kazakstan, which is a non-belligerent.
Because it is actually in Kazakstan, which is a non-belligerent.I'm curious why no one has plucked the cosmodrome feather in the Russian cap over near Mongolia. Admittedly, I know little to nothing about the logistics, but it seems a high value morale target. What I am missing here in my expertise vacuum?
The other one. Vostochny.Because it is actually in Kazakstan, which is a non-belligerent.
This assumes anyone would be permitted to stay.So you are saying Poland didn’t learn anything from their last attempt getting trashed?
You’d need to keep the place under permanent martial law to keep it from simply slaughtering your garrison and rejoining Russia the first chance it gets.
I just skimmed that, and I don't really see much point to attacking it.The other one. Vostochny.
From a poke-Putin's-eye perspective, the Kerch bridge is just tastier, then?I just skimmed that, and I don't really see much point to attacking it.
It is a huge drain on utilities and anything you'd get from a satellite is more accessible when spied on with a drone.
No, I have a gut feeling here that the Ukrainians want to **** up the Russian strategic naval assets in the East, same as they ****ed up Russia's strategic air assets.
They’ve got control of multiple oblasts which are not at all tiny.Zoom out on the map. The Povrosk Salient is TINY.
They didn't say shit one way or the other. People assumed. I remember everyone though they were going for the reactor complex, which was absurd.
The Russians have one thing going for them. Meat available to die in waves.
That's nothing to sneeze at, but it doesn't really seem to be working out well for them.
I guess we'll find out if Russia really decides to go after the Baltics this fall.
Dumping the Kerch bridge would be about the best thing they could do with those drones, if they can pull it off.From a poke-Putin's-eye perspective, the Kerch bridge is just tastier, then?
Yeah, they started the 2022 invasion holding most of what they have now. I can beat a world class marathon runner if I start the race 10 meters from the finish line.They’ve got control of multiple oblasts which are not at all tiny.
Link?Zelensky flat out told the Guardian that was the plan back in February.
Don't blame me, they're the ones that are saying it.If that were true the Ukrainians wouldn’t have been driven back as far as they have, and their counterattacks over the last year plus would have actually succeeded.
People have been claiming the Russians are “going to go after the Baltics” since 1991.
Swedish Pomerania was significantly further west.I'm suggesting it would be hard going for the Russians suddenly back in Poland. Or in Swedish Pomerania, for all I care.
Trump's on his throne of shit. Bibi is bent on a wide war. England faces the prospect of faraging itself to death. Eastern Europe needs a decade to jettison the Moscow backed gangs. Modi still has a ****-up in the chamber.They’ve got control of multiple oblasts which are not at all tiny.

And a whoosh, guy. The takeaway was no more Russian control, not who gets it. And it would obviously be Poland. But, Tyr's balls, man...Swedish Pomerania was significantly further west.
If Poland didn’t have enough fun with insurgents in Iraq—-assuming they still wanted to try and take the place aster the initial bloodbath trying to would be for them—you mean?
They didn’t have any of the southern two oblasts, so that’s not really true.Yeah, they started the 2022 invasion holding most of what they have now. I can beat a world class marathon runner if I start the race 10 meters from the finish line.
Link?
Don't blame me, they're the ones that are saying it.
Well, if Iran and Israel nuke each other like in that Clancy game EndWar I suppose the window is wide open.Trump's on his throne of shit. Bibi is bent on a wide war. England faces the prospect of faraging itself to death. Eastern Europe needs a decade to jettison the Moscow backed gangs. Modi still has a ****-up in the chamber.
What better window does Putin have before the reaper turns him to worm food?
And again, with a ninety plus percent Russian population how exactly do you think one would stop them from simply rejoining Russia even if it was taken?And a whoosh, guy. The takeaway was no more Russian control, not who gets it. And it would obviously be Poland. But, Tyr's balls, man...
Correct. They got those because a traitor general moved his forces out of the way.They didn’t have any of the southern two oblasts, so that’s not really true.
After the fact, why not?“If Trump does manage to get Ukraine and Russia to the negotiating table, Zelenskyy said he planned to offer Russia a straight territory exchange, giving up land Kyiv has held in Russia’s Kursk region since the launch of a surprise offensive there six months ago.
“We will swap one territory for another,” he said, but added that he did not know which part of Russian-occupied land Ukraine would ask for in return. “I don’t know, we will see. But all our territories are important, there is no priority,” he said.”
Zelenskyy: Europe cannot guarantee Ukraine’s security without America
Exclusive: In extended interview with the Guardian, Ukraine’s president says he will offer US firms lucrative reconstruction contracts to try to get Trump onsidewww.theguardian.com
Assumes again that they would be allowed to remain.And again, with a ninety plus percent Russian population how exactly do you think one would stop them from simply rejoining Russia even if it was taken?
As already mentioned, if Poland didn’t have enough fun with guerrillas in Iraq, Kaliningrad would be sure to offer them all the trouble they could handle
So ethnic cleansing?Assumes again that they would be allowed to remain.
Do you doubt it? I mean, we all know how much the Polish LOVE Russians.So ethnic cleansing?
Oh no, not the moral high ground!Gee, I get that’s how Poland kept its western land, but it’s going to be kind of hard for the West to pretend to hold any sort of moral high ground while endorsing that.
The US was made by “traitor generals”. A Chinese dynasty or two as well, come to think of it.Correct. They got those because a traitor general moved his forces out of the way.
It worked out well for him. He killed himself when he was about to be arrested. One less traitor stinking up the planet.
After the fact, why not?
Yeah, going to be hard to explain to all those Polish families why their sons and daughters came back in boxes without any sort of justification.Do you doubt it? I mean, we all know how much the Polish LOVE Russians.
Oh no, not the moral high ground!
What do you mean no justification? If Russia hits the Baltics, Poland is next.Yeah, going to be hard to explain to all those Polish families why their sons and daughters came back in boxes without any sort of justification.
When was the last time the West gave a shit about Xinjiang or world opinion in general?Poland, after all, is supposedly still a democracy.
If the West doesn’t want to be laughed out of the room every time it tries to get countries to care about what China, for example, is doing in Xinjiang it probably would have to worry about the moral high ground
Paranoia is not a suitable excuse for ethnic cleansing attempts to most people, as it turns out.What do you mean no justification? If Russia hits the Baltics, Poland is next.
I think Poles understand that better than anyone on the planet. So they can fight on their land, or they can fight on someone else's land.
When was the last time the West gave a shit about Xinjiang or world opinion in general?
I'm not saying it's walking in the footsteps of saints, dude. I'm telling you what I think would happen.Paranoia is not a suitable excuse for ethnic cleansing attempts to most people, as it turns out.
And I’m pointing out the reasons why it wouldn’t work, even if Poland somehow won.I'm not saying it's walking in the footsteps of saints, dude. I'm telling you what I think would happen.
Of course USSR wasn't legally dissolved! The constitution of the USSR didn't contain any mention or reference to "dissolution".One point is that it's entirely possible he's delusional. The other point is that the Russian Federation claims the Baltics must be removed from NATO. That would make it much easier to conquer those nations states. Which reminds me of point 3, his legal counsel announced that the USSR wasn't legally dissolved.
