The agreement, if you will, is that we (any nato nation) can send all the support (weapons, fuel, intelligence) that we want, but as part of the treaty, we (the US specifically) will not put boots on the ground. My guess is that everyone agreed that it wouldn’t be a fair fight if we went in 500,000 troops tomorrow. quite honestly, if I was running the country, I would have deemed Putin the same level as bin laden and Hussein and I would have sent a seal team in 72 hours ago and this would be over.

North Dakota, Montana, Alaska, places where we have our Nukes, large missile Silos etc Side note, They probably attack America abroad before they come after the homeland. Camp Humphrey, Ramstien, etc. Nuking nukes is pointless. Google earth the fields, they're too spread out and the blast doors are specifically designed to protect them from just that. It would take the whole Russian bomber fleet and all their nukes just to knock out 1/10th of ours. ND and Alaska are a huge part of the missile defense/detection though.

Russia has purposely avoided shutting down the internet while the EU and some tech giants are actively limiting access. The truth will still get out, you Not-z sympathizers! Hasn’t putins hockey team got a championship game rerun on somewhere you could be bashing one out to?

February 28, 20223 yr Interesting to see what Putin "offers" today. He might just demand complete unconditional surrender OR he could offer a split of the Ukraine with the Eastern part breaking off into its own country or just becoming part of Russia. I don't expect anything positive from these talks at all and likely the reverse. Putin has dug a hole for himself and has no simple way out. This will likely become a long and tough occupation.
February 28, 20223 yr I looked it up and this is about 15-20 miles outside of Kyiv. Inching closer...
February 28, 20223 yr I may be missing something here, but Putins biggest fear was that Ukraine would go nuclear / join NATO and have NATO troops bordering them, yet its perfectly ok for Russia to use Belarus as a staging ground for the invasion and put nukes there? Not saying Putin is a rational man, but surely the Russians can see the hypocrisy?

IDK about the numbers right now, but a few years ago Montana would've been the third largest nuclear power in the world if it had seceded from the USA.
February 28, 20223 yr Saw a great tweet just now -- the Kiev metro is open while the Moscow stock market is closed.

February 28, 20223 yr Vadim Petrov, a native of the Kaliningrad region of Russia, the coordinator of the Baltic Republican Party, during Sunday's protest at the Russian Embassy in Warsaw ripped up the Russian Constitution in protest against Vladimir Putin's policies.a.html Isn't going to go anywhere, but still.
February 28, 20223 yr Russian state propaganda insisting cities are not being struck .. only idiots like Abra buy this
February 28, 20223 yr 7 hours ago, Thrive said: Think we’d already assumed this was the case but here’s additional confirmation 56 minutes ago, JohnSnowsHair said: Russia is keeping its stock market closed today, but in London.. None of these are good signs. Previously our aircraft around the area were all for SIGINT (picking up Russian comms) and tankers (which I think were for refueling NATO fighters flying CAP in NATO countries (Romania and Poland). The other day it was announced that countries were donating planes to Ukraine and now we’re giving them AWACS support. And now it’s obvious why. Russia made a blunder and tried to go about taking territory with light infantry and older equipment, which to them made sense because they expected limited resistance. The last two days saw limited fighting because they’re retooling their offensive. Putin sacked the commander overseeing it a few days ago, and there’s a new sheriff in town. Russia is now committing not only more aircraft, but more advanced aircraft, as well as thermobaric MLRS equipment. They were taking two days off to get ready for their next push. They’re getting their logistical ducks in order and getting equipment in place. I expect to see some air dominance by Russia and for them to make a significant and coordinated push. tl;dr: Russia figured out why they’re stalling, they’re putting better equipment on the field, they’re gonna push hard, it’s gonna get worse.
