The Putin love is comical. I don’t give a frick who is running the US or how gay it is these days, Mother Russia can suck a dick.

Yep

Does Belarus have a common defense agreement with Russia?


Yes they’re a part of the CSTO and have helped with the situation in Kazakstan in coordination with Russian troops.

If not, they could attack out of Poland and force the Belarus military to shift their attention away from Ukraine.


Can’t imagine this not leading to a response from Russia and starting WWIII

Let's just hope that there are some SEALs embedded with the agency assets

That way we'll have a lot of books detailing the early days of the invasion to choose from

Everyone knows that AAFES and Green Beans Coffee are always the first ones in. When those guys start rolling in you know it’s on.

I know for a fact that American contractors are in Ukraine. Triple Canopy specifically is working with the Ukrainian government.

Here is the full report.

It concludes with this:

quote:

Immediate items to watch
• Russian Naval Infantry have not yet conducted amphibious landings but retain the capability to do so
against the Odesa or the Azov Sea coasts or both.
• Russian Airborne forces may successfully secure the Hostomel military airport overnight, enabling
Russia to airlift additional forces onto Kyiv’s western flank.
• Russia will likely conduct additional rounds of air and missile strikes in the coming 24 hours. Russian
operations will likely steadily wear down Ukrainian air capabilities and eventually take the Ukrainian air
force out of the fight.
• Russian forces have not yet attempted the decapitation strike several analysts and outlets have forecasted
and may attempt to do so in the near future.
• It remains unclear how much of its total strength the Russian military has committed at this time.
• Russia has sufficient conventional military power to reinforce each of its current axes of advance and
overpower the conventional Ukrainian forces defending them.

I’m so confused by these memes, were they legitimately put out by Hilary’s campaign and what were they supposed to be inferring?

There was a post with someone saying all Ukrainian air defense weaponry was taken out. There’s also reports saying Russia is still struggling mightily to gain traction. No idea what to believe, anyone else heard anything about Ukraine air defense weapons?

Yes Belarus is a member of the Commonwealth of Independent States and the Collective Security Treaty Organization which is basically a FSU version of NATO. Plus Belarus is Russia's biotch.

It was a 4chan troll job because Hillary wanted war with Russia more than anything in the world

I doubt it. Turkey is still a part of NATO sure but they've been drifting away from NATO for years now and into the hands of Russia.

The two have centuries-old enmity as well, but Erdogan has gotten very cozy playing up Russia while spurning the West.

Hell, Turkey got kicked out of the F-35 program because they purchased an advanced Russian missile defense system despite warnings not to.

I think you can take any reports that say something like this with a giant grain of salt. By all indications, Russia hasn't really deployed much of their capability yet.

At this stage, it almost feels like Russia is just doing some probing to find areas of weakness in Ukraine to exploit.

Saw a tweet earlier with the sirens sounding in Kiev and the tag - "when the 20th century visits the 21st"
