The War in Europe

Quote? From? Context?

Does NATO go to war with Russia? Probably not.NATO has the superior combined military and economy but military action is dicey, to say the least. Some seem to forget that we're dealing with a nuclear power led by an old-school iron-fisted tyrant.Do we really want to put a post-nuclear world in the balance with the Ukraine?

Well, if the russian commanders hadn't already planned how to secure Chernobyl well prior to this assault then I would be very surprised.[abe]Maybe I'll be surprised.Chernobyl's Radiation Spiked 20 Times Above Usual Levels as Russian Forces Arrive : ScienceAlertEdited by AZPaul3, : No reason given.

Any higher skilled people of the military kind around here?What is going on with the Russian army? A 40km exposed road trip at near walking speed. Really?And the nuclear sabre rattling from Putin is ... well ... disturbing.Is Putin about to fall or will he incinerate the world first?Also,I don't do social media but friends that do are saying the incessant inflammatory memes against vaxx and Biden and race baiting and the splitting of America, have just about stopped.I guess the Ruskies operatives have enough problems with their own collapsing society to continue beating up on us.Edited by AZPaul3, : No reason given.

I've followed her career. She's good. Unfortunately she has the reputation of being right. I've been studying her analysis all day. Putin is in a bad place right now. As I've said before, in the style of the old Czars, Putin will push until he meets a sword he doesn't want to fight.And with a nuke up his sleeve that might go too far.But, again, what is happening with the Russian advance on Kiev? Strange strategy to have your heavy armored troops slowly crawl along the road fully open for everyone to see.To be effective they will need to spread out into forward battle formation. One long line of tanks, trucks and APCs taking baby steps in single file is not going to cut it.Is this some strange new battle strategy or is this massive incompetence?Edited by AZPaul3, : No reason given.

Not sure we can say that they aren't. Nothing obviously public but I gotta think somewhere the various services are cyber meddling in Russia's sandbox. Right now their army seems stuck in the mud in an especially open and vulnerable position. As far as I can tell from the news, that Russian column, on one road, spread out over kilometers, is the major threat to Kiev and they ain't moved in days.When they open their formation to battle fronts then the end is near. That will take time, like several hours considering the formation they are in now, and will be quite noticeable. I'm no expert (except, of course, I am) but I've never seen a more exposed and incompetent battle plan from a world class army even in the fog of war.What is going on there? How can their generals not know they are setting their army up against a determined local population. Even if they succeed in taking the city the cost in Russian lives is going to be well above what a competent command structure would have produced.I do not understand. Are they trying to create Russian casualties?Edited by AZPaul3, : No reason given.

Why bother.Edited by AZPaul3, : No reason given.

Because I am way smarter than you and I sport this most magnificent beard.Besides, I smell better.

No. It's true, I'm better than you and my beard is most wonderful.

You're one sick puppy.

Now we see the republicans and the American alt-right give excuses and support Czar Putin The Stupid.You don’t care about Russia or Africa or people of color. You’re only care is anti-Democrat, anti-Biden. Anything that hurts the Biden Administration, whether it’s true or not, whether it hurts the nation and the people or not, is good and proper. The rape of Kiev for one.You republicans and your American right are no longer a loyal opposition in this nation. You are an open insurrection bound to destroy civil rights and American values in all but the Second Amendment.

You can't insult me like that around here. These folks know better.
But Pres Biden is still succeeding. And it galls you.Note how the vindictiveness and rhetoric of your posts have increased since Biden’s acknowledged leadership of NATO has galvanized the whole world. Really pisses you off, doesn’t it. Especially with an election coming up.Can’t have a sitting democrat president looking successful even if it’s helping the country and the world.Seditionist.

No. Can't do that. Think what that would do to the maple syrup market. Don't make the world suffer more. Save our syrup!

Hey, Maple Boy, I got nukes! You wanna go round?Yes! Boil all that maple syrup.Just be sure to control the cool down process to lessen crystallization.

Make your anti-humane excuses. We know what you are doing. You're supporting tyranny and not just russian.So transparent is your hatred for your own country that even Aljazeera has noticed.playThis isn't just some political disagreement in-house. You are openly seditious.
