Meanwhile in Ukraine

[SuburbanFarmer]

the next phase of escalation for the Russians is unrestricted air bombardment

bring everything you got, bomb the shit out of them

but they seem to be hesitant to do it

they are already international pariahs

but they are still trying to sell this to Russians as some sort of Humanitarian Intervention

so I would say the nature of the half measures is political

they are sort of caught between

they have embarked on a ruthless Soviet style land grab

but that is mixed with trying to emulate NATO in the political arena

Then he absolutely needs to negotiate with Ukraine and nato for the eastern lands.

Failing that, he’s gonna have to go full Soviet crazy Ivan or roll back and face the music. I predict he rolls back in defeat rather than blow up the world. NATO should be offering some kind of face saving measures.

Unfortunately, NATO seems far too stupid to do that.

like I say

I think it is too late for the Russians to back off

even if they call this off right now

all that happens then

is Ukraine commences Operation Crimean Freedom, no matter how long it takes

I wouldn't say this has crossed the Rubicon, if I didn't think it has crossed the Rubicon

it's not about what happens in the next week

this has set the wheels in motion for years to come

Kiev is surrounded.

Switzerland joins in the Great Sanctioning.

This is the end of the oligarchs.

if I have life lessons ?

be yourself

have the courage of your convictions

no half measures

the Russians are breaking those rules right now

trying to be all things to all people, has got them caught in no man's land

[Smitty-48]

you cannot be squishy Russians

if you're going to go

go all the way

take it right to the very brink with NATO

Ukraine is just a proxy

at this point

you need to bring out the thermonuclear weapons and go for broke

the enemy is in Brussels

that is who you need to force to the table

unleash the submarines, start cutting the internet cables

why not ?

in for a penny, in for a pound

stop whining, just get on with it

protestors in the streets of Moscow ?

what are you, George Clooney now ?

shoot them, shoot them all

in for a penny

I don't think we should underestimate the amount of support we are giving Ukraine.



Turkish Drone = US Drone, flown out of Incerlik.

All those Russian columns destroyed, probably US.
We are deep in this shit.

the Soviets probably would not have done this

the Soviets were actually pretty cautious

Stalin in fact made sure that this did not happen

Stalin was rightly respectful of America at the time

his favorite movies were American, he used to sit around watching American movies in the Kremlin

so during Korea, Stalin made sure that there was no escalation in Germany as a result

but what Putin has done, is more like Khrushchev

this is missiles in Cuba

what was Khrushchev's mistake ?

he backed down

what happen to him as a result ?

deposed
