Putin is about to launch the Russian version of Shock & Awe on Ukraine

[Oldestyle]

What percentage of Russia's standing army is currently deployed to Ukraine?

Putin isn't calling me up with those numbers, George! (eye roll) Let's just say that it's become a big enough issue that Putin has been forced to call up 300,000 Russian men...give them two weeks training and then send them off to fight against the Ukrainians! A move that is not going over well at home! The Russian people don't get the REAL news...they get whatever Vlad wants them to get but even with the smoke Putin's propagandists are blowing up the Russian public's ass...that public is savvy enough to know that thousands of Russians are dying in the Ukraine and the war is dragging on and on and on! Even more dangerous for Putin however is that the Oligarchs that support him are having property seized around the world and they're being banned from travel or doing business in the West! If those Oligarchs decide that Putin's expansions are "bad for business" then Vlad is walking out on a rather small limb carrying a rather large anvil!

I don't know where you get your news from, George but it's almost comical. Putin is in serious trouble in the Ukraine and that trouble will not be alleviated by sending poorly trained and completely unmotivated troops to fight there. The more Russians he sacrifices...the quicker his demise will come.

People from Ukraine don't like people talking about them as 'the Ukraine'. Just saying

I don't see any evidence for that Ukrainian victory.
If you have some, show it.

Of course you do. The Ukrainian army is making steady progress in both the south and northeast and the Russian forces are in steady retreat. The Ukrainians have been following a successful strategy of preventing Russia from resupplying its front line troops which is creating weak spots all along the Russian lines and brilliant tactical moves that force the Russians to move troops to further create weak spots along the Russian lines. So far Russian commoners seem to have no strategy at all to guide their movements. There is no reason to think this trend can be reversed.

Three things can be watched for a long time:
A burning wood in the fireplace,
ocean waves rushing ashore
and echelons with russian military equipment moving towards Ukraine...

The first question I would have about your "echelons" is when were all those videos taken? If it was the buildup to the invasion of Ukraine then most of that armor is either destroyed or is now wearing a Ukrainian yellow and blue flag!

By “shock & awe” he means “giving up even more land”

LOL

George is a tankie. Google that if you don’t know what it means.

I'm one of the people paying to send them billions of dollars in aid, Alexa! I've got a feeling that they could really give a shit about whether someone uses a "the" in front of Ukraine if that person is sending them weapons! Just saying....

The Ukrainians look forward to the arrival of this equipment and will enjoy using it after retreating Russian soldiers abandon it in their rush to reach the border.

I think it is important if you are supporting them for what they want rather than what you believe you can give them.

When Ukraine was part of the Soviet Union (USSR), some Soviets referred to the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic (UkSSR) as “the Ukraine.” However, since the collapse of the USSR, Ukraine has become a sovereign country and referring it to as “the Ukraine” is incorrect. Ukraine is the correct name of the country.

Ukraine’s name is thought to come from the Slavic word for borderland, so saying THE borderland makes sense. However, the use of the extra “the” irritates many Ukrainians because they think it makes them sound like they are a territory to another country and not a country themselves.

I am also one of those people paying to send them billions. All people of NATO countries are and some more than others, My country has spent an enormous amount on them, so much that it is unlikely we will be able to adequately supply ourselves with back up weapons for a long time and added to everything else, something my grand children will be paying for as long as they are able to work given Climate Disaster.

What is "Climate Disaster"?

Yeah, january and february in Russia looks exactly like in this video...

Since the build up to the invasion started in March of 2021...my question still stands!

It is too late for a stalemate. Russia is losing the war and there is no way Russia can reverse the trend. Russia will either agree to withdraw from Ukraine or be driven out, and then Ukraine will become a member of NATO but by formally accepting these conditions, Russia can try to negotiate some relief from the sanctions.

When will Nazis retake Mariupol?

Ukraine. Preserving the traditions of National Socialism.

Got any credible evidence for that?
Which side is being accused of using Al-Qaeda terrorists in Ukraine?

Terrorists from Syria go to Ukraine to fight Russia: will Turkey suffer?

"'The main problem is the foreign fighters, they have nowhere to go,' said Sinan Ulgen, a former Turkish diplomat and analyst with Carnegie Europe.

"Sending the terrorists to Ukraine is one solution that the US and NATO are using. Just as the Obama administration used the Al Qaeda terrorists to fight the Syrian government for regime change, those same terrorists can be utilized to fight the Russians in Ukraine and Idlib."

How much money are you making from the deaths of tens of thousands of Ukrainians? How about the displacement of millions of innocent Ukrainian civilians, more or less than your ROI in Iraq and Afghanistan?

As you know, Toro is a deluded pro-war dumb fuck.

With any luck the anti-war movement in the US has awakened, and hopefully kicks the ever lasting shit out of the fucking warmongers.

Your link has been taken down. Says “under maintenance.”

If they were capable of shocking and aweing Ukraine they would have done so by now.
