Russia-Ukraine War

I bet the Biden administration deploys crisis actors before we attack Russia.

I don't know what to say about Tucker Carlson. Obviously we are not going to war with Russia so why scare the daylights out of his viewers. His only stance that I can agree with regards Europe's lack of military preparedness and lack of engagement with this crisis. Carlson seems to be making Vladimir Putin's case to the American people, not as a devil's advocate, but more as a supporter. Mitt Romney was entirely correct in 2012 when he stated that Putin was a dangerous threat to the West. At the time he was derided by Obama, Kerrey, Hillary, and Biden...two years later Putin took out the Crimea and started a war in eastern Ukraine that has killed an estimated 14 to 15 thousand people. You also have to question whether or not Ukrainian neutrality would really satisfy a dictator like Putin who is on a mission to restore much of the old Soviet Union in Europe..

CBS is reporting that Russia has starting moving u it’s from assembly areas to their attack positions.

The date of the attack has been announced as this Wednesday.

This is the weirdest thing. I think this has to be Putin leaking all this intelligence information so he can maximize the pressure on the NATO and Ukraine to give into demands. I just can’t believe Russia would invade.

I asked a Ukrainian immigrant friend of mine (who happens to have a hot Russian wife), what Putin was up to and this was his reply: "I have no idea, I haven't been following it."

It's likely just a bunch of talk. Or maybe a diversion. Putin borrowing from Trump's bag of tricks?

This seems like a pretty damn big deal. I get an uneasy sense this could be a slippery slope into something really bad.

Maybe I'm just being paranoid.

Is Ted Stryker leading the charge?

There’s not a lot the US can do militarily to stop it without going all out. Why risk WWIII? Similar to Russia not preventing Gulf War 1, 2, Afghanistan, etc…

I do worry about a miscalculation re NATO members, but Ukraine won’t be the trigger for US military involvement imo.


Same with China/Taiwan errr Republic of China. Are we really going to go to war over Taiwan?

Merging your thread into this existing one.

My bad, not sure how I missed the other thread. Thanks, Kung Wu.

The risk is unintended consequences. Somebody shooting NATO aircraft down that are flying close to a border, or aircraft straying beyond the appropriate border and getting shot down, or Russia launches a cyber attack that is more effective than they thought possible…

[pinstripers]

the intended consequences ain't too good neither

[Maizerunner08]

I just feel like a successful attack on Ukraine is setting a dangerous precedent and it may embolden them to do more.

Over Macho Grande?
