    They want Russia to invade to take on the welfare cost of this failed state.   NATzO has proven that it is not interested in
    providing such welfare for its minions.  

    So the advantage goes to Russia.   All it has to do is sit and watch as the Maidan coup eats its own shit.  


    This is the way I see it, Russia just needs to sit back and watch and be ready (which it is.)

    Indian guy is just a US puppet.

    Anyway, no, those are Russian Chechens waiting to strike at Ukraine if given the order. They are the Kadyrov boys. Let us not forget, no more than a year ago Kadarov Saif "if he was in Putins place, he would have liberated Ukraine" in other words, invade.

    Obviously. Those countries are NATO member states. Good luck touching that beehive by shelling them. Putin and his cadre knows Russia's current place in the power dynamics of this planet. Hec, they even underestimate it my opinion.

    Ukraine is not a NATO member state, yet. Once they become a NATO member state, they're untouchable, unless the Russian leadership wants a World War. At the very least a break up with the West the magnitudes of which would make the crusades child play ... open season against all Russian client states (as few as they're).

    The fact they are NATO members doesn't make them untouchable, only in the events of war bring all European NATO member into the war.

    Example at the same time of the attack on Baltic states tactical nukes onto all USA base on European soil, and in 24 hours a new security aligment on the continent.


    Nothing makes better friends than few nuclear bomb, just check the strenght of the Japan-USA alliance.

    I don't know if this has been mentioned already but the US is selling Poland Abrams tanks for possible Russian invasion.  

    What do you guys think of this?

    So what? Syria is littered with burned out Abrams and Leopards. Do you have any concept of how long it takes to train a tank crew? Besides, selling them and delivering them is two different subjects, let alone 'Polishizing' them.

    Spot on, these are the latest spec tanks, not the old Marine Corps used gear. They will take years to manufacture. Everyone knows they are unlikely ever to be used in actual combat, so no hurry, just keep the streams of commission running Laughing

    Why doesn't Russia just take out Kiev and Lvov if Ukraine actually attacks. No armed invasion, but nuke these two most important (and anti-Russian) cities in Ukraine.

    This idiocy has been going on too long, way too long.

    If Ukraine attacks then finish off Ukraine (without sacrificing Russian soldiers or Donbass civilians).

    Yes, Russia will be sanctioned to the maximum, but who cares at this point?

    At least ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND people evacuated  from Donbass will be reaching, or crossing, the border with Rostov in Russia by lunchtime today.

    All the checkpoints in Rostov from now on only accept people entering Russia.




    The Ukies wouldn't let them close enough to check the ballistics, so self inflicted?

    Just on the 17th ss you can see here clearly, Ukraine is shelling far deeper into the other side. An impressive amount of self restraint, overall.

    And to say, this could have been solved much easier in 2014 by holding firm and responding to the coup attempt properly. ...

    NAF and UAF are in conflict which never stopped, don't try to make yourself look intelligent retroactively because nobody is falling for it

    Plus in 2014 any attempt to "respond to coup" would have resulted​ in color revolution in Russia because back then Russians were still drinking democratic koolaid by the gallon

    Russia will not invade

    It won't enter at all until the Kiev regime has fallen and a new govt takes its place, that then invites Russia in. But even then, it would have to be a pretty good pretext for Russia to go in.

    Everything else is just words and maskirovka to keep everyone guessing.

    What's happening now is the Donbass front heating up. And I hope it's just a Russian game at fake-out, like what happened with the mock invasion, and mock recognition of the DNR/LNR.
    Because if it's not fake then hostilities are due to restart and the Ukrainian civil war will kick off from where it left off in 2015.

    In what world is the Kiev regime going to just fall on its own? Maybe in Putin’s wildest dreams. They are propped up by American and British loans. The population is behind them. Most of the pro Russia people or the people with sanity left that shit hole along time ago

    Russia’s best bet is to grab a couple more cities and gas/oil rich areas. Make a land bridge to Crimea and let the west have Kiev. Regardless of what Russia does there will be sanctions. Even if one su34 or drone flys over the border to bomb the uaf there will be sanctions. If the rebels manage to fight a perfect war and advance on their own and take more territory Russia will get sanctioned.

    It’s already been painted in the minds of most Americans and Europeans by western media that all eastern Ukrainians are actually Russian soldiers.
