Russian invasion of Ukraine | Fewer tweets, more discussion
- Thread starter Wednesday at Stoke
- Start date
Sure, I just take it as a given that any incursion would have to be stealthy and you couldn’t stay. Ideally it would be done with artillery fired from Ukraine or from the air.
But my scenario isn’t a self-defense scenario, Ukraine would be taking out weapons attacking Ukraine only, not actually attacking Russia with some goal of taking territory or concessions.
Russia may decide not to notice the difference, but surely no one can seriously think the Ukrainian army could occupy Russia.
From the bit I’ve read, Russia and the US are both concerned that the limited use of “tactical” nukes could result in escalation leading to Armageddon, saying they would treat it just like a big nuke.
A solid start, but the last two things just ruin it. Forged Russian passports would make much more sense, and who would be so stupid to bring Ukrainian nationalist literature to Russia in these times?
why did i have one the 1st day of xmas in my head when reading that list
The problem with your scenario is that you would have to take targets like the Air Force Base Engels where the Tu-160 strategic bombers are at home (which can be used to carry Kalibr cruise missiles close to the Ukrainian border and fire them safely from Russian airspace. That is so deep in Russia that I doubt such chirurgical but massive attacks are possible for Ukraine.

As a Pole... Dear parents, dear grandparents, thank you for always being right about both RU and DE. And sorry for being a naive puppy who thought DE had changed.
I can only say to you that the majority of us doesn't agree with anything he said. Most Germans stand fully behind Ukraine. At the beginning of the war, there were demonstrations with up to 250.000 people and Ukraine flags everywhere you could see.
We just happen to have a bunch of questionable politicians who are revealing their true colors more and more. And it's just the latest chapter in a long line of corruption stories surrounding especially the two historically biggest parties CDU/CSU and SPD.
But people are beginning to realize it, even before the war. The two biggest parties are in a downwards trajectory while the Greens and the Liberals are gaining support. And while they aren't saints either, they left a much better impression in this whole mess if you ask me.
Can I just say thanks to everyone who contributes to this thread with updates and tweets etc. I go to this thread before I read anything else on the matter.
Same. I always check this thread first. Again, thanks to those who keep it updated.
Yeh no way they'd blow up their own oil depots, and if they are evacuating military families from bordering areas, it is to panic the Russian people into thinking they are at risk of invasion.
In my opinion.

I watched Top Gun Saturday night and wondered how probably a flat spin is in a fighter jet. I guess now I have my answer.
Putin is now getting cucked before the world inside his own country, by another country that he doesn't think legitimately exists.
How would a deranged dictator with nukes, who has built his entire mythology around faux shirtless masculinity react to this level of humiliation ?

Anti-System Fighter definitely screams Russian FSB trying to make up a violent sounding English t-shirt, but it seems it’s just a punk band shirt.I love that the swastika shirt still has the creases in it from where it was folded into a boxTweet

The wig ffs
Oh no! I mentioned Vladivostok in an earlier post about the fanning out across Russia of Ukrainian saboteurs who've been allegedly trained by the special, special forces SAS folk disguised (according to Russia) as medics.
It's all happening much faster than I thought
Wait, are those pictures a spoof, or are they actual "evidence" provided by the FSB?Tweet

The BBC reports:
"... The UK ... said it had assessed that approximately 15,000 Russian military personnel had been killed since the invasion began"

I find this particular element of the war fascinating. It feels very very high risk for Ukraine to be taking the fight inside Russia. Which makes me think that those strikes have been at such key targets that the potential blowback was considered worth the risk. I’d assume any strike inside Russia would need Zelensky’s express authorisation, but I don’t know that obviously.
Sure, Ukraine was wearing a miniskirt, what was she thinking fighting back against the one that is complicit (financing) of who is raping her. The only think that Ukraine will accomplish with that is that germany will testify against she.
Better to shut up. Or the SPD russian friendly will get mad and they will voice out that they still friends with an aggressor country
Man. There is a war. Germany fecked it up long term on dependency. Is even forgivable bc no one would imagine that this would never happen. It was in part evengood trying to smooth out russia trying to have friendly ties. But now germany is dragging its feet all over the place in many areas. And zelensky call germany out. Thats it.
If that makes resurface russian friendly german politicians the better. Because that confirms why zelenky called out Germany and some action can be taken.
Sorry you felt insulted mate. Hope you feel better
Hope ukranians in caf can appologize between bombardments financed by the west still
