War

UAZ car that brought Russians into battle met by Kamikaze drone

The short answer: While each conflict is unique and tends to defy history, a clear-cut defeat of either side in this war is unlikely, said experts. A more likely scenario is protracted fighting leaving both sides exhausted but unwilling to admit defeat, resulting in a frozen conflict or an eventual uneasy truce. The likelihood of a quick end to hostilities is remote.


“I don’t think this can end while Putin is in power,” said Slanchev. “Even if Ukrainians push the Russians to the borders, if he’s still in power I don’t think he will negotiate.”
Prolonged, slow-burn conflicts have helped Russia establish breakaway, pro-Kremlin enclaves in Ukraine (the Donbas), Georgia (South Ossetia and Abkhazia), Moldova (Transnistria) and Azerbaijan (Artsakh).
The current war is different, with Western support helping Ukraine regain large parts of the territory Russia grabbed in the early weeks after last year’s invasion.

Still, if Slanchev is right, the two sides face a forever war.

That could end up looking something like the Korean peninsula, with a demilitarised zone between Ukrainian and Russian-controlled territory, or a grinding perpetual conflict that flares up and down, eventually resulting in an uneasy truce.

Either way, one thing is certain: much more pain, for Ukraine, Russia and the rest of the world.

And when I was in the Air Force with a top secret security clearance I had to have the need to know to view certain documents and or information. It seems Dubai Junior changed that after 911 to share to know. Will we ever recover from that tard?

They don't mind too many Russians there the Muslim population is growing rapidly, and the Russians are shrinking. Besides after Xi gave them security assurances, the Russians are weak, and the west is reaching across the Caspian Sea to them, they are bolder. They also have plenty of oil and gas, rail links and road links with China. All the other former Soviet stans are south of them and they block Russian access.

It is this kind of talk and action that freaks out Putin and his fellow Russian imperialists. He and his cronies in the KGB and FSBs main task was to suppress political descent in the republics, just as it was the task of the Russian imperial secret police before them. I've thought for some time now that Russia might breakup if Putin loses the war and perhaps his life. European Russia cannot be a liberal democratic country until they give up dominance of their neighbors and let go of the empire. To be free themselves, they must also free others.

Let's say Russia did break apart and some of the republics got some nukes, but European Russia got most, and they have safety codes apparently. Let's say they defeated the codes and could use the few nukes they had, who would they most likely use them on and where? North Asia among themselves would be my guess, China would not be happy, and they would have most of them by the nuts economically. A few nukes going off in central Asia won't be noticed much elsewhere, there were lots of above ground nuclear tests in Russia and in North America in the late 40's and 50s, some not far from Los Vegas. In any case there is not much we can do about Russia disintegrating, except perhaps help it along, China might, they stand to gain the most.

NATO will HAVE to step in if that happens, and seize as many nukes as they can...There's no fucking way the region can stabilize with 20 mini putins threatening each other and their neighbors...

there is a pun in there about military maggots pupating and becoming flyboys

Have a look at the video to see how utterly fucked up the Russian army is as a social organization, much less a military one. What do you think will happen when the well trained, equipped and motivated Ukrainians strike these hapless mobiks?
