Maybe we need to get a couple of SR71s out of mothballs

Winter is coming. I can't imagine that Russia moves before spring unless China needs them to.

It’s not a coincidence that Russia destroyed a satellite that orbited directly over eastern Ukraine at time of impact.


Good thing the Ukrainians, the USA, and every other military in the world has drones now. Putin missed his chance to conquer Ukraine in 2015. Now his government does not have the money to buy western vaccines to help stop the spread of covid which has pushed his approval rating to the lowest it has been since 2013. What makes you think they have the money to launch a major military invasion? Do you expect Putin to stop stealing money from his own country so that his military equipment will work?

Money doesn’t matter when you set your sights on invading a nation. Do you think we’d just stop fighting if the bank account hit zero? Oh shite Jim doesn’t have a dollar to pay for this round of ammunition. Dumb point. Russia has the means to take Ukraine. Then Europe will be up shite creek with no access to natural gas.

General Milley will be at a DEI seminar when the invasion begins.

Sounds like a European problem. How does preventing this Russian takeover advance an America First agenda and foreign policy?

1. Good luck getting soldiers to fight when their checks are bouncing and their families starving. The Russian Army is not the Red Army of the Cold War. It does not have political officers standing behind the lines ready to shoot anyone who does not fight.

2. If Russia was truly had its eyes set on conquering Ukraine why did Russia stop short of the Ukraine's western borders in 2015?

No it does not. Russia might have the means to take eastern Ukraine but it does not have the means to conquer all of Ukraine and occupy it for decades. Plus Russia does not want Ukraine. Occupying and annexing Crimea turned into a burden for Russia and everyone west of the trench line in Ukraine now hates Russia. Why would it want to on the task of occupying a hostile country when it is broke?

Ukraine is not a net producer of natural gas. Ukraine is just a transit country. Russia does not need to conquer and occupy Ukraine to cut off Europe's gas supply. All it has to do it is find an excuse to say that Ukraine broke their 5 year contract and then turn the valves that shut off the supply of gas into the pipelines that travel to Europe by Ukraine. It is much less costly and less risky for Putin to fight a battle in a British court room (it's in the contract that Ukraine and Russia have agreed to use the UK as a 3rd party arbitrator in cases of disputes) especially since Russia can choose to ignore any court decision it does not like.

Maybe if you take Putin's cock out of your mouth you would see just how stupid your ideas are in the real world.

I do not trust the United States of America to win any future war, especially if the enemy isn't some tiny little country that can't defend itself and can't hurt the US homeland in any way.

The US Presidential Administration that won the war would eventually be out of office and some future US Admin and Congress would decide to restore the enemy regime and pay all of its politicians $450,000.
