Russia - threadbanned users in OP

Well, the alternative is to allow him to continue what he’s doing now and take over Ukraine.

I mean it’s not like the US don’t have a history of being experts in regime change.

Surely putin will be exposed as a war monger if the proper information (the truth) gets to the Russian population.

It’s not like the Russians don’t have a history of revolution either.

Can you imagine the conversation on that plan I'm serving the Great Vladimir the 1st let me in ,no go **** yourself

There are many Russians with cell phones living outside Russia.

Exactly.

The last time a dictator halted a blietzkreig like this was Dunkirk which was the start of the end for that particular piece of trash.

If you mean confiscating wealth of any Russian person that's just stealing. It's a bit squalid and not really an 'economic' measure.

Think Stalingrad.

I’m sure Russia are well aware of this.

I think people are getting ahead of themselves thinking Russia are a poor army.

They and Putin have been preparing and planning this for years.

Unfortunately it’s only a matter of time.

Well I'd be hoping it won't be for another 30-40 years at least...

Rather than fomenting a popular revolution to overthrow The Impaler, I wonder if it might be more propitious to discreetly encourage some sort of 'palace coup'. Is it possible the CIA (or whoever) have established some sort of back channel to Russian Military leadership to urge them to block Putin if he tries to take the world to hell...

Since tanks started to be used as weapons the quickest way to move them from a to b is by road convoy. Problem is it is easy to destroy a column of tanks on the road. Just hit the first and last tank and the rest are trapped and can be destroyed at leisure. Tanks are useful against tanks, and infantry without anti tank weapons. They are not the decisive weapon of war that they once were, like battleships in world war 2.

Probably a New Holland. Had the tyres on machinery I own. Absolutely brutal but they are cheap. A lot of tyres on agri machinery in Ireland and the UK come from India

Well if you look at the likes of North Korea, it appears that money can be priortised for maintaining the bigs guns even when the people are starving. I'd imagine Russia prioritise keep their big guns ready and maintained

I think he thought he could have a speedy war, that it would go like clockwork and that he would emerge from it even stronger. So far, the indications are that the invasion is not going to plan at all and the backlash from the international community is absolutely massive, more than he could possibly have anticipated.

I think you may be right sadly. I just don't think the Russians will be staying in Ukraine for long afterwards if they do win, not with the arms and materials getting across to Ukraine and the will of the resistance. A lot of places to hide in and attack from. I say even America would of had problems fighting here in the environment, a lot different then fighting in the middle east, would be more urban areas and desert there while in Ukraine with a lot of urban areas, forests etc. to strike from. More I'm surprised with some of the tactics Russians are using like if they lost 2 planes full of airborne troops maybe don't try and put 2nd plane down near where 1st 1 got shot down, drop airborne troops etc. further afield. Least there alive and fighting and not dead amongst the wreckage.
