I'm not a russki, dude. I'm a bred and born southern red neck. I just don't support that illegal war instigated by our criminal government. It's sad to say but this criminality we call our government thrives on war and destruction. War is their bread and butter.
Ukraine: You get out of Crimea and all of Ukraine, and we'll give you back the Russia you lost.

I personally think Russia will put some instant sunshine over Kyiv
Radioactive fallout then travels over the border with Poland only 300 miles away. This is an act of war and in goes NATO.
Bye Bye Russia.

At some point, the oligarchs are going to decide that Putin is costing them too much money and move to get rid of him. When that happens there's going to be a power vacuum and the military will need to be recalled as different factions seek to solidify their claims on the crown.
I seem to think "putin" will meet the same end as Rasputin did sooner than later.

Nah, no one in NATO has any resources left for that! It's all gone to the Ukraine. You need bullets and artillery shells for your army, otherwise they are just targets.
I am curious to see for how long the Ukraine can hold onto that territory. Resupply will be problematic and it's doubtful reinforcements could be sent to that front. Not without weakening their defensive lines back home. If these troops get lost it will be devastating for Ukraine. I'm leaning towards this being a tactical blunder on Ukraines part, but time will tell.
