How should west respond to potential (likely) Russian invasion of Ukraine?

[steve_bank]

It was not a safe bet for Ukranians dissatisfied the status quo of corruption and Russian puppethood.

Oh, with Poroshenko and Zelensky, all corruption ended? Ukraine became a NATO puppet and is fighting a war for them.
Did I mention that Modi is meeting Zelensky on August 23? He will also go to Poland.

All human organizations have corruption, it is a matter of degree.

Unions, governments, political parties, religions, corporations, individuals, sports.

True, and in US corruption is legal.

As has been said several times, NATO is not a political origination. If one is attacked all others are obligated to respond. When activated it has a unfixed command.

So, when did Yugoslavia attack a NATO country?

Meanwhile MSM is starting to prepare to eventual collapse of Nazi invasion into Kursk Oblast.
Number of publications stating that it was stupid and irresponsible.

It probably was done to disrupt you and has been wildly successful. And it's showing how gutted Russian defenses are.

Congratulations, you just admitted that not only your government engaged in war against Russia but your media is doing the same, which is not really a news since it is controlled by the same people as your "government"

the criminals are all busy running the country.

As if you are somehow different.

I am neither a criminal, nor running a country, so I am anyhow completely different.

You=West, obviously.

Unfortunately, the second person plural use is uncommon enough that people will normally assume singular if it fits grammatically.

No, it's very common.

The U.S. has not engaged in war against Russia, but rather Russia is in this mess because it invaded a sovereign country under the direction of the Nazi dictator in the Kremlin.

The news media in the U.S. is not controlled by the government or by the same people in the government because the media here are privately owned and under protection of the First Amendment, unlike in your wretched shit hole of a country.

All of this has been said before, of course, but it’s good to clarify matters from time to time.

Again, if you reply to me, I won’t be replying to your replies. I’ve no desire to engage in a phony “dialogue” with you.

Also, Barbos, how do you like the way Ukraine is kicking Russian ass in Kursk? You’ve been predicting how the war wouuld go for two years, but you never mentioned this would happen! Is it all part of some grand Russian strategy, to get Russian ass kicked in Kursk?

Pretty soon. Pretty soon.

Ukrainian forces should just march on Moscow and see what happens. The last time that renegade with his mercenaries began to march on Moscow, Adolf Putin fled north to St. Petersburg with his tail between his legs like the scared kitten he actually is. Then the renegade inexplicably called off the March. If Ukraine were to announce it was aiming right at Moscow the whole demoralized Russian armed forces and indeed the whole government might fold like a cheap tent.

They don't have the logistics to do that.

So what? they don't have logistics for doing what they are doing now.
It's just a raid without any hope to hold any land. They know they would have to leave pretty soon.

Babs now represents himself as better versed in common English usage than are native speakers.
Kinda like everything else upon which he pontificates.

I know, he’s a self-appointed expert on everything, isn’t he?

And every line he writes is wrong.

Yesterday, Russian TV and propagandists showed with pride how the Russians destroyed a convoy in a few seconds!!!




Bad for Russia as it was a Russian convoy!

Why should they leave?
They got trenches from the Nazi-Russians "as a friendly gesture" and they are still moving in every direction; west, east and north.
They will leave though - when the Russians leave Ukraine, (maybe after 0,5 - 1 million Russians dead and wounded?)

Attack of the Unburnt Bush

The icon of the Unburnt Bush is considered by Christians in Russia as a talisman against fire.

The giant fire at the Proletarsk fuel depot in Rostov region has been burning since Sunday despite efforts by firefighters to douse its flames.

An image released on Wednesday showed two Orthodox priests standing in a field on either side of a wooden stand holding the large icon as a thick plume of black and grey smoke rose into the sky from the depot behind them.

That's some serious baloney. Are Ruskis really that superstitious?

Now they have sent some priests there in order to pray for the fire to die out...
And it will, just some 40? more fuel tanks to go.

That seems like a win win to me! Russians leave Ukraine land; Ukrainian troops leave Russian land.

21 Aug: Outstanding!​

A Huge Russian Camp WIPED OUT IN 1 BLOW With HIMARS​

The first part of the video:
"Here, Ukrainians have conducted a large-scale drone strike on Russian military airfields, severely impacting Russia's aerial capabilities. Moreover, Ukrainians immediately leveraged this success to initiate the first attacks in their westward offensive, pushing their forces closer to a decisive breakthrough.

Firstly, Ukrainian officials stated that Russian forces had increased the number of glide bomb strikes on the Sumy region in Ukraine to approximately 40 to 50 strikes per day. Russians targeted various Ukrainian infrastructure in an attempt to undermine Ukrainian logistics and troop movements. Unfortunately for Russians, Ukrainians retaliated. The Ukrainian General Staff reported that they conducted a large-scale drone strike against Russian airfields in Kursk, Voronezh, Borisoglebsk, and Savasleyka.

The combined operation of the Ukrainian security service, military intelligence, and armed forces targeted Russian airbases that were actively used to conduct glide bomb strikes from. The Ukrainian general staff reported that the strikes targeted aircraft, repair facilities, fuel storage, and warehouses with ammunition, which likely indicates Russian glide bombs. Satellite footage of the Borisoglebsk airfield shows Ukrainians destroyed and damaged several hangars where aircraft were being repaired and maintained, along with one damaged and one destroyed Russian SU-35 fighter plane stationed out in the open. While no satellite footage of the other Ukrainian strikes has yet become available, local residents around the Savasleyka airfield reported hearing over ten distinct explosions. Additional geolocated footage indicates that Ukrainians destroyed a Mig-31 supersonic interceptor here, able to carry air-launched Kinzhal ballistic missiles, widely used to bomb Ukrainian cities.

This was not the only recent Ukrainian strike, as a post by a Russian journalist indicates that Ukrainians hit a Russian training base with HIMARS, as he complains that Russian forces still use training bases within Ukrainian striking distance. Additionally, Russian soldiers continue to be forced to gather in the open yard in the morning to wait to be addressed by their commander, making these Russian military bases an even more attractive target for Ukrainians. Russian sources published a video allegedly showing that they managed to track down and destroy a Ukrainian HIMARS system. However, Ukrainians have been using decoy inflatable mockups of high-value military equipment for years. A Ukrainian soldier shared a photo of such an inflatable HIMARS mockup, seemingly at the exact location of the Russian strike, meaning Russians likely hit a decoy again.

As you know from a previous report, Ukrainians had identified a weak spot in the Russian lines to the west and were preparing to strike. What makes this area even more challenging to hold for Russians is that it is entirely surrounded by Ukrainian forces from three sides and separated from the rest of Russian territory by a river. Notably, there are only three bridges over this river that Russians can use to resupply their forces here, at Karyzh, Zvannoye, and Glushkovo. Ukrainians understood this and, over the last two days, launched a series of strikes on these bridges, destroying them in the process.

The Ukrainian Air Force released footage of two of these strikes, showing them finishing off the Glushkovo bridge after HIMARS had previously damaged it and destroying the Zvannoye bridge with a similar bomb. While no footage has yet been released of the destruction of the Karyzh Bridge, Russian sources reported that the bridge was under fire by Ukrainian rockets and artillery. If you want to get access to the original uncensored footage of all Ukrainian strikes, you can find it on our Telegram channel by using the link in the description.

With all the bridges over the Seym River destroyed, Russian forces are now completely cut off from friendly reinforcements and logistics. While satellite footage shows that Russians have set up a pontoon bridge, even Russian military analysts note that this is pointless, as the new pontoon bridge remains well within Ukrainian artillery range, and expect it to be destroyed soon.

With the bridges destroyed and Russians effectively cut off from their logistics, Ukrainians launched..."

Will Russian Economic Recover After This Blow?
A Kursk Update!​

About the war economy:
It's started shrinking right now it's at its peak going down but the other economy the Civil economy, oh my gosh, there's so many problems with that. So basically the two results are Russian economy is shrinking and it will be shrinking for a long very long time it's not going to recover. I would say for generations, generations on Russian people are becoming poorer and poorer.
And that's what the Russian economy is looking like.
