Russia could have taken all of georgia even in 2008 when the Russian military was not in a good state of affairs, but they didn't... they don't want to occupy land with a hostile population... they didn't want it then and they wont want it now.
That is half of a story already.
While the other half is, that if you are to incorporate land claimed as your heritage, your obligations are to bring it up to the standard ASAP, or you will face the harsh consequences in a really short time.
Even a friendly population, would expect to live "like in Moscow", because ... hey, you are in charge now!
Not to mention hostile ones.
Ukraine is the poorest country in Europe already, passing by Moldova on it's way down the toilet.
There is a disaster in all spheres of infrastructure, bringing some parts of it to the edge of physical threat for a population.
To put it back on track, would require enormous assets applied, that Russia hardly can afford, and ... for what?!?
Donbas coal&steel is already there.
Crimean unsinkable carrier is there, along with gas fields in the Black Sea attributed to it.
What represents the remaining part of 404?
There is no industry left, no skills&knowledge Russia can't substitute, or substituted long time ago.
A land? Well, a joke is good as long as you hear it the very first time.
Russian Federation has an agricultural land reserve measured in tens of millions hectares. Only the agricultural land that was wild forested in the 90s equals the double size of Spain.
And global warming adds new hectares each day.
People? Most of them who are worth bothering are already in Russia or EU. Why bother the remaining lazy nazis&stariks?

If nazis roll up to some town, with javelins, and other American weapons, drone strike them.
Israel strikes Syria everytime a new shipment of Iranians arms are detected.
Lesson? If Russia doesnt want Ukraine, and the west is hell bent on keeping it to threaten russia, it should be levelled like Damascus was and let the west foot the Bill, this said NATO deployment would never be economical because they'd spend all their time just keeping Ukraine alive
Wack a mole UAF and NATO every day non stop year after year.
For those who say Israel changes nothing militarily on the ground in syria, well are IRGC units able to operate in Syrias south? No, the Israelis strike iran throughout, in the name of security.
This is the lowest cost option to denying NATO a staging ground in Ukraine.

The entire reason to invade Ukraine would be to prevent it from joining NATO which means you have to keep troops there to ensure that.
Because relying on mere words worked so well for the Russians the first time when it came to Ukraine. Remind me what happened?
Long story short leaving after invading would be the biggest tactical blunder you could make, thankfully for the Russians. They do not have armchair experts has generals.
NATO would not be an option with VKS planes and drones in the air 24/7 zapping anything that looks funny
Iraq couldn't do squat when USA plastered no-fly zone during the 90s and kept slapping them at leisurely pace, neither would the Ukraine

Re: The Situation in the Ukraine. #31
just has to sit and wait. It is clear that all of the NATzO shrieking about invasion and the urging of its minions in Kiev to ethnically
cleanse the Donbass is a desperate attempt to bait Russia into taking on the burden of this failed state and give the Ukr nazionalist
vermin ass cover for their epic failure.
Putin knows this full well and NATzO's dreams are not going to become reality.

Re: The Situation in the Ukraine. #31
There are millions of Ukrainians(working age) that have already left Ukraine and there are reports that as many as 5 million Ukrainians(mostly of working age) will leave Ukraine in the summer this year.
Ukrainian economic situation is getting worse by the day, Russia does not need to do anything. The western elites, the IMF and the Ukrainian oligarchs have cleaned Ukraine up financially.
The EU is in no better shape, with reports that there will be millions of refugees coming from Ukraine, the millions of Afghans refugees that will come to the EU and the millions from Africa, the EU will have a shit ton of it's own problems.
The US also has refugees coming in at it's border in the south and the government is planning on giving them hundreds of thousands of dollars, do you think they will stop coming after hearing that?
The US establishment is divided, as well as the country is divided and people are fighting each other.
All Russia needs to do is just focus on it's own development, build up the economy, build up is it's armed forces without getting involved in unnecessary conflicts and make it self even stronger.

These weapons include LRHW, Himars, Patriot/THAAD, javelin, and other weaponry.
Its about constant arleigh burke's rehearsing tomahawk strikes on crimea, moscow, and krasnodar.
It's about b52 rehearsing nuke strikes on crimea and kaliningrad,
Its about RC135 , e8 JSTARS, and other AEWC planes collecting information on russian defensive positions.
This is a problem that has nothing to do with Ukraines shitty economy, or government.
Ryabkov, Putin, antonov, naryshkin, bortnikov, Lavrov, and everyone who matters has already made it clear, that this is a big problem that needs immediate resolution, or they will be resolved by military technical measures. Everything else is fluff.

Russia isn't going to start downing US or European planes.....
Has that means full blown war, and Putin does not want war with the US and Europe,
The only way for Russia to keep NATO forces out would be to occupy it.
The notion that attacking US or European forces and triggering WW3 is pure insanity. Again, thankfully the russians do not have armchair experts has Generals. This isn't some silly video game where Russian can act however it wants without repercussions.
So no, Russia cannot "zap" NATO planes unless its wants full blown war. At that point if everyone here is so desperate for that war, I hope you will sign up for it.

Re: The Situation in the Ukraine. #31
Not sure if that's good track record...
Breaking News: Germany Arrests Georgian “Hero” General, now Ukrainian Citizen
By Bohdan Nahaylo.
Published Jan. 9. Updated Jan. 9 at 1:06 pm
The British newspaper Express reported on Jan. 9 that Germany has arrested Brig-Gen Giorgi Kalandadze while he was visiting his daughter in Berlin. Gen. Kalandadze believes he has been placed on a “Russian hunting list.” “I led the defense against Russian aggression in Georgia in 2008, I have been training Ukrainian forces and jointly leading Ukraine’s National Guard since 2014,“ he told journalists after being released on bail. Kalandadze says that the authorities in Tbilisi issued a warrant for his arrest two days after he had publicly criticized the extent of Russian influence in Georgia in a television interview. “The charges are completely unfounded. I am not even on Interpol’s Red list. This is a lower-level request by Georgia which is now heavily influenced by Russia, and which Germany, for some reason, has now decided to honor," the General claims.

"I have been released on bail and in a few weeks I will have a trial that will make a decision we are waiting for," said former Chief of the General Staff of #Georgia, Gigi #Kalandadze, who was detained in #Germany on December 19

Re: The Situation in the Ukraine. #31
Ossetians died during this US bootlick "anti-terrorist operation". This maggot is a war criminal. His family must have been
loyal Nazis under Stepan Bandera's command. I wonder if they ran off to Canada or the USA after WWII.

NATO wont do anything except watch, as Russia destroys weapons shipments into Ukraine.
It didn't do anything in Ossetia and Abkhazia, it didnt do anything in Crimea , it didn't do anything in Nagorno Karabakh, it wont do anything in Kazakhstan, and it definitely wont do anything when Russia acts on Ukraine.
Occupation is unnecessary, Russia can destroy Ukrainian military capability , and fly air sorties with impunity over that territory. It is like syria to Israel

Russia cannot and will not attack any shipments that have US or NATO personal with them and you've got to be purely insane to think they would.
Occupation is necessary if Russia has to do use force, there is no way around that. Bombing Ukraine will only ensure one thing, NATO accepts Ukraine.
That is the reality no matter what fantasy you tell yourself

US will escalate to full blown war like when Iran hit their bases in Iraq you mean? Sure
Actually it is in Russia's advantage to call out the Western bluffs and posturing as the galaxy's greatest military, so US will not risk to be shown and that is why they have already said they will not fight the Russians over Ukraine. I would say in such a case as an attack to their staff in Ukraine they would hide the casualties as they have done before and try another round of sanctions, propaganda and regime change operations, which is what they are really good at.

Whether you think it's insane or not is irrelevant, those are the words from the Russian leadership.
As for attacking NATO weapons shipments , if they are used to threaten Russia they will be attacked by military technical measures, that's from president, defense minister, and whole russian leadership.
The US better have some concrete measures to withdraw NATO to 1997 positions by tomorrow, or that is the last meeting between the parties, and the ultimatum becomes enforced.

What you are saying is true.
Russia will not be the one starting the hostilities: NATO knows that, 404 Knows that, everybody knows that
However there are 2 situations when Russia will be forced to go to war (and rightfully so):
- If 404 attacks DNR/LNR
- If NATO moves into 404
The armchair generals are discussing those eventualities.

It looks a bit like the Russian double headed eagle but it has Nazi style wings.
His user name is also Nazi sounding with a Russian twist at the end:
- Seig (like the Nazi Seig Heil slogan)
- SeigSoloyvov : like the Nazi SS

Are you that stupid
It's the Imperial Eagle from Warhammer 40k.
Seig is also short for Seigfried which is a reference to fictional character from a series in this case.
Soloyvov is a common Russian last name.
Also what have I said that would give any remote idea I am a Nazi? talking about NATO and Russia in ukraine.
Dude, you are one deranged individual.

That what you think? Iran didn't target the personal just areas around the base.
But believe what you wish, you have your view and that's all I can say.
Its very wrong but hey, thankfully people with that ignorant logic aren't in places of power.

I will take the words of the worlds foremost statesman over your opinion,
Like I said, there better be some concrete measures by tomorrow, or the next steps RF takes will be unilateral to remove the threat posed by NATO
Debaltseve and Ilovaisk are child's play to what can be done there, and Russia wont give NATO the time to airlift banderites out like taliban did, clocks running out.
