Meanwhile in Ukraine

[Smitty-48]

at this juncture, this is actually seeming kind of pre Soviet

you know who this is starting to look like ?

Czar Nicholas II

launching into an ill thought war against the Japanese

sailing his vaunted Baltic Fleet all the way around the world

just to have it get sunk in one day, by the Japanese Navy

that was in fact the beginning of the end for the Romanovs

Deposed sounds better than “incinerated along with everything you love”, but that’s just me.

he's gonna go out like Saddam Hussein or Muammar Qaddafi ?

see, I would bring the submarines to bear, force NATO to stare into the abyss

before I let it come to that, if I was him

[Smitty-48]

that being said

I can see a problem even beyond Putin now

because if he is defeated ?

that is just going to embolden the NATO Globalists

they will switch over to the offensive then

to drive the Russians out of the Donbass

to take Crimea back from the Russians

and turn Ukraine into a heavily armed proxy

which at that point

I would not assume that the replacement for Putin is actually a softer touch

Putin could be replaced by an actual government with actual resolve

then we are doing this all over again at some point, in the opposite direction

NATO pushing Russia up against a wall is the trajectory upon this last gasp being thrown back

and that is not actually a safe option neither

that is the brink of thermonuclear war as well

there is no safe way of bringing this massive Soviet legacy arsenal down by force

[SuburbanFarmer]

Well there’s always internal collapse. The ruble is collapsing under a bank run as we speak.

[Smitty-48]

I can actually see this reversing in the other direction now

this is the last gasp of the Soviet Kleptocrats

right now, it's the plucky Ukrainian underdogs against the Soviet Bear

but project the Ukrainians forward into a future, to a NATO backed advantaged position over the Russians

Azov fascists armed to the teeth in an alliance with the equally fascist already Poles

and the Kleptocrats have been deposed in Moscow by an ideological government ?

that ideological government in Moscow is going to end up backs against the wall then

and without any conventional advantage, totally reliant on their nuclear weapons

like I say, either the Russians win, or the Ukrainians & Poles are coming for them

there is no way to put Humpty Dumpty back together again now

[SuburbanFarmer]

Here come the fighter jets.

Turkey closing the straits.

This goes one way or the other very soon.

Turkey closing the straits.

yee-ikes

[Smitty-48]

since this is reaching the threshold of NATO blockading the Russians in the Black Sea

exploring the overthrow of Putin at some point

this is getting so hot

that it is not likely to be Navalny who replaces Putin

but rather a Junta which is prepared to do what Putin didn't have the courage to do

[Smitty-48]

this is starting to feel a little 1991 now

but bear in mind what that was

Gorbachev dropped the ball

then a Junta tried to stage a coup de'tat against him
