You mean the hypersonic disinformation campaigns lol
Not true
How so?
In this war? No, not yet any way, but Russian Conscripts from the past? Definitely. Because Conscription was and is still part of the Russian Army, same as in the past. So yes, there are many Conscripts now on the border with Ukraine. Conscription is a form of kidnapping....the person has no choice. But in Syria, yes I've seen them picked up at checkpoints, on the streets, walk into your place of work, knock on your door in the middle of the night, and take you. As for your viewpoint of " Kill them all", even the Mujahedeen in Chechnya were more human...they killed any contract soldiers they caught, but the conscripts they took their weapons from them, fed them and let them go. They said that the Quran forbids killing the innocent.
No , just ask the Israelis about the s400 they fly in and bomb Iranian forces or proxies in Syria most nights these days,
The s400 can be beaten and taken out on the ground too
If NATO engage its opening season on all Russian contact line's and potentially WW3. So for that reason it will be mostly media talk from the west.
It won't be a war between Russia and ukraine ,it will bring other players to the game something putin doesn't want especially if Belarus decide to move against ukraine ,
Sweden have countered the Russian claims about super s400 long time ago

Sadly I'd imagine this will be much like how it will play out if a full-scale invasion happens. There would be massive use of special forces by Russia too to cause chaos in Ukraine. Without a superpower ally it is hard to see how Ukraine can hold out. I'm not sure that Russia can easily force capitulation though. I assume the Ukrainian government would withdraw from Kiev to Lviv maybe.
Sorry now, I know you mean well but the worst video I ever watched was From the Chechen war. 5 conscripts were beheaded one by one, all while looking on helpless, no more then 18. So thats not true.
For example:
^^ which means we are an interconnected global world and economy. War never makes sense. Stupid bravado gets people killed and stops the good things :/
But Belarus is a Russian client state at this stage. It is hard to see any NATO state getting involved without US approval and support. I don't think any NATO state would want to risk it alone.
Nice video👍
What makes you think there will be more nations in play than just Russia and Ukraine if an invasion happens?
Plenty of states will be directly at risk if Russia takes ukraine ,they won't stop at ukraine
Bullys never stop.
But which country would risk being stuck in a shooting war with Russia?
I actually do, from what Biden has said… “US and allies will 'US and allies will 'respond decisively' if Russia invades
that doesn’t suggest sanctions, tougher diplomacy or a travel ban really.
interesting that both leaders had a phone call that lasted well over an hour today, so that suggests it was more serious outreaching then token diplomatic efforts for the medias benefit…
if it happens it’s war…
“US and allies will 'US and allies will 'respond decisively' if Russia invades”
No they don't ,
Especially when they have already warned former Soviet occupied states that they have "Unfinished Business"
I see lots of ways it could escalate terribly but I just can't see the US risking a shooting war to stop the Russians. I'd imagine they would hope the Russians would bog down and they could arm the Ukrainians to the teeth then.
How would they arm them ? The Russians would surly try to cut off that supply which would be an attack on the US… so war..
also the fact that the US would arm the, would implicate them as ally’s so they are involved.
Across the border from Poland or Romania I'd imagine. I just don't see the appetite to fight a war against Russia directly though. Honestly I feel a bit grim speculating about it.
I'm still wondering if it will be a more limited show of force by Russia accompanied by a direct annexation of Donetsk and Luhansk.
The Ukrainians are already armed to the teeth and then some ,arms are flowing into ukraine from all over including neighbors and turkey,
The biggest issue ukraine had when Yanukovych was elected he put Russians in charge of the Ukrainian military who then degraded the Ukrainian military capabilities and set about fleecing them ,and when the Russians came in they used the Ukrainian defense budget to fund separatists
From what I understand they lack decent anti aircraft weaponry though.
That picture is a load of BS, those US Bases are there at the invite of the host Nations.
And many aren't even military bases ,some are housing,some are warehouses and others are offices ,if it's controlled by the DOD it's considered a base but base doesn't necessarily mean a fully functional military base
