Shockwaves
reverberated through Eastern Europe tonight after Vladimir Putin boasted
he could invade five NATO capitals inside two days.
This came amid new reports that almost 4,000 Russia troops are massing in Crimea close to Ukraine's mainland.
'If
I wanted, Russian troops could not only be in Kiev in two days, but in
Riga, Vilnius, Tallinn, Warsaw or Bucharest, too,' Putin was quoted as
threatening, according to Ukrainian president Petro Poroshenko.

Putin gets his orders from the same people our POtuS gets his. It's world wrestling to create a charade of a "war between superpowers" so they can label us "liberty-minded" folks as "russian sympathizers", round us up as traitors, and collapse the country in the process, following up with an iron clamp down of worldwide magnitude on the remaining sheeple here and abroad.
ReplyDeleteOh, I believe Putin despises Obama.
DeleteNo way. They are both comrades. Just playing for the camera. Communism is trying to take over the entire planet. And it's doing it. Not much stands between Moscow and world power with Obozo failing to run things.

DeleteNothing new there and good luck.
Good luck to you too brother. We need each other more now than ever.
DeleteThanks and where are you located?
DeleteWhy I think that is it's an easy way to take us out when the time comes. We'll raise a ruckus, and they'll say "if you're not friends with us and our plans, you're friends with the enemy" and most people will go right along with that mentality and sell us out.
ReplyDeleteWe shall see.

Putin's big problem with this bluster is that many of the critical components he needs to maintain the high tech aspects of a modern army i.e. aircraft and missile engines and guidance systems as well as all of the needed modern surface ship engines are manufactured in Ukraine. Estimates are that even if some could be replaced by Russian factories it would take upwards of a year to tool them up to do so. So he has a very specific problem. The spare parts he has on hand are all he's got and in any "hot" situation his own domestic suppliers could not even hope to meet demands.. All of Russia's surface navy was built in Ukrainian shipyards. Even though he may have seized two of them in Crimea he has no way of getting heavy equipment and materials to them across Ukrainian territory.
ReplyDelete& that predicament could be major, if he feels his only option is to invade Ukraine. Thanks.
DeleteApparently it's ok for Russia to hold all of Europe over the barrel for natural gas supplies but Ukraine doing the same thing to Russia over military components and food stocks is casus belli for instigating civil war and or invasion.
DeleteEach nation will do what they feel/want/need they should as they have since time immemorial and we as onlookers have little/no say as usual.
DeleteAnd five years later, we could share a vodka in Moscow. Well, New Moscow...
ReplyDeleteOleg Volk is a gentleman and a scholar as I'm sure many of his countrymen are, but I wasn't at all impressed with the few I met in Vietnam.
DeleteI think people need to quit looking to leaders. Leaders create gangs, whether good or ill intentioned. I say if you want to be "leader", we throw a.rifle in your hand and send YOU to fight the war you want so badly. If the idiots want to follow, let them follow and die with you. You can refuse to follow the leaders. They won't like it, but they can go fuck themselves.
ReplyDeleteYou can refuse to follow the leaders.
DeleteNot without consequences in totalitarian nations. In Kontum they found two tanks where the dead occupants had been chained to their stations and there was also an interview with a captured NVA asking why they always went forward without hesitation and his reply in so many words was: If I go forward I may not die, but if I don't, I most surely will. Good book. KONTUM: The Battle to Save South Vietnam
