@lusterko Just think, to destroy russia all it would take is two missiles, one for Moscow and one for for St. Petersburg. Most of the rest of russia lives in the Stone Age and don’t even have toilets or washing machines.
@lusterko IMHO 1/ Putin says s*** 2/ Even if such nuclear blackmail was to be taken seriously (and it can hardly be when you see all the allegedly "red lines" we've crossed since march 2022), defeating Russia would still be worth it for there's no possible nor acceptable future with Putin's regime.
IRC a more realistic scenario is that they do an airburst strike (limits fallout) above an unoccupied (no civlians left) part of Ukraine as a show of force. Official Russian doctrine:
They think this will bring their enemies to the table.
I honestly don't think it will, after all the atrocities they've committed. More likely, they'll be fully ostracized, the west will give Ukraine even more weapons, Europe will enter the war in Ukraine, and the US will come with a conventional but devastating response.
Oh, no. The country with low quality control and technical inferior artillery in need of masses of ammunition to even hit something, is producing more shells.
Let's panic! Or just ignore this bullshit as it's non-news. I think I'll pick the second option.
This is exactly how they won the eastern front against Germany in ww2
Actually no. Without massive help from allies neither would they have been able to sustain their losses in material nor would they have kept there logistical chain running without half a million lend-lease trucks and jeeps.
Without both they would have moved mostly by foot. Spamming artillery, move a few hundred meters at best, rinse and repeat. And they would have moved at simliar speeds as in Ukraine now... never actually coming close to Germany before the war ended or starving on the way.
They can produce and use 5 times as many shells. It's still not sustainable. Quite the contrary actually as that use of mass artillery worsens the actual bottle neck. Artillery barrels are wear parts... and they can't even come close to the prodcution numbers needed. Or are we anticipating meat waves with 152mm shells in their hands now?
Isnt he quite popular and threatening Zelenskyy’s control? I’m pro Ukraine but there are internal struggles for power that may disrupt their ability to fight Russia
Only if you believe that having a few percent higher trust raitings in polls (when both are far beyond 80%+) while not actually aiming for a job in politics is somehow threatening...
