A fight with Turkey over grain for the starving Muslim world would not end well for Vlad. Those videos of Russians abusing Muslims and using them as cannon fodder has been seen and is a lot hotter on their social media than ours and pissed off the Muslim world and must make the Iranian government cringe. Beating up a conscript for praying and abusing the Prophet are not taken lightly.
I dunno. They’re doing pretty well taking the figurative belt sander to the faces of the Russians in theater. What you propose is militarily sound, but with this being unacknowledged as a war by the aggressor, not giving him an excuse to use the one undeniably effective weapon in his possession ranks in the top tier of strategy imo.With improved air defenses that number should improve, I also heard the Russians have a high failure rate among their missiles and their numbers should be dwindling. I think the only real answer to this shit is retaliation in kind, Russian power infrastructure would be an acceptable retaliatory target. It can be hit with low-cost mass-produced suicide drones and would be a form a mutually assured destruction that would work. The Russians would have a lot of trouble responding to such wide-ranging attacks against just Russian power substations and transformers and can't readily replace damaged equipment on a large scale. Make it clear, you stop this bullshit and we will stop turning your lights off, tit for tat, they have a choice.
It is an option to consider and a capability they should develop, MAD worked for nukes, it might work for power grids too. They must use their own shit to do it, not Uncle Sam's and should start slow in a region, while sending a message that the darkness will spread, if they keep it up. They need it pointed out that they are much more vulnerable to this kind of infrastructure attack than Ukraine will be soon and don't have the same repair capacity or support that they do.I dunno.

We in the West make sure that Ukraine is always kept supplied with fresh low-grit sanding belts.

and our fucking pussy republicans bitch about the money...because they want it to go to the rich fuckers who own them, body and black little soul..
The way I have it figured is the Russians will end up footing the entire bill with money they have seized abroad, between the government cash and the oligarch's stolen money and assets abroad there should be plenty. They and their grandaddy's already paid for most of their own destruction with weapons they built and paid for.and our fucking pussy republicans bitch about the money...because they want it to go to the rich fuckers who own them, body and black little soul..
you were a chemist, right? think you sampled a little too much...who will duck first when they run afowl of each other? It could get unpheasant.
i've been thinking the same thing, turn about is fair play, bomb the fucking shit out of their power grid, let them try to run bot farms in the dark.They are using missiles on the power infrastructure because low speed drones would be easy to defend power substation from them with a point defense gun system and by simply caging them in commercial fishing nets stung on power poles. This would catch the drones several meters from the transformers, reducing the potential for damage. Also breaming and sandbagging around them up to 3 meters high might be helpful to harden them too. Drones would be used on large harder to defend population centers.
They must be using these missiles on power generation plants which are higher value. The only answer might be to shut the lights out in Moscow by attacking substation power transformers with drones all over the Moscow region, same with other cities. If we have to freeze in the fucking dark so, do you, a form of MAD, only with power grids! 80 % of Russians live in European Russia and most of them would be in range of mass-produced cheap GPS guide drones, or at least their power infrastructure would be. Russia could neither defend adequately to such an attack, they couldn't replace the destroyed and damaged electrical equipment like Ukraine can with the combined resources of the EU and UK to support them. The idea being that deterrence works, Ukraine can shut your lights off too and you won't be able to turn them back on without help.
lately you’ve been booing my puns. I ain’t stopping.you were a chemist, right? think you sampled a little too much...
He used to synthesize LSD and licked his fingers too much...you were a chemist, right? think you sampled a little too much...
And the crowd goes wild
Vlad halted conscription, but nobody believes anything he says, here or there! I wouldn't doubt they did, because how it was being done would have eventually caused a revolution or coup, maybe both, with him dead in the process. He will retrench try to get better organized and start conscription again. He is between a rock and a hard place and is being defeated in Ukraine while his army is being ground to dust in Ukraine with hundreds of dead a day now and a terrific ratio of causalities in favor of the Ukrainians.
this is not good.......
