Do you think that they will push West after taking the area East of Kiev or settle there for a stalemate?
Having a land bridge to Crimea is one thing, having one all the way to Moldova must be on the cards now.
"Most of their fighters were destroyed on the ground on day 1"
Link it from a reputable source, because you've been peddling the fakest of fake news in this thread.
And why stop there? Surely, they will reestablish the Soviet Union? Anybody who disagrees should read about the latest attack on a nuclear facility. We are not dealing with a rational regimen
50kms per 1 litre????
Are you driving a prius?
50kms per litre= 2ltrs per 100kms,
140 miles per gallon?
Most cars are 6-10 ltrs per 100km, including hybrids.
Where will they be housed? Its going to add to a very complex situation. I am sure people will open the doors but we can't even sort housing here for people who want to buy it.
It will never happen not 80,000 + we haven't the housing or facilities to suddenly take in 80k
From.what I've seen, they just don't have many planes so they're being really judicious about when to use them. They can't afford to lose them because they don't have replacements. That's why they haven't just destroyed the convoy already. They would lose planes so they're holding off.
There's new talk of Poland giving them planes and the US replacing the Polish planes. Hope it works out that NATO can give them more support like planes.
In my opinion Putin cannot change tack until he has taken Kyiv and possibly Odessa. He knows he has gone too far but he cannot pull back yet - otherwise he will be ridiculed. But I do think that when he takes Kyiv, we will see some kind of a climbdown/truce and subsequent negotiations which hopefully will lead to a speedy withdrawal. I am talking weeks rather than months. Hopefully. I think we could see signs of this climbdown by next Sunday.
I googled the consumption of a 2.0L car for 50km and that was the answer I got.
I stand corrected
The soldiers mothers in RuSSia will be key to this blowing up with the population there.
I would be surprised if they didn't already have the Polish planes - after all it's only a coat of paint. The planes are the same types as they already have so hard for Russia to know which plane is which :)
China, for a start. They have been foiled in their covert plan to buy Australia out from under them, so Australia should be worried about plan B.
Hopefully. I think taking Odessa after the massacre at the start of the revolution will play on the Russian minds. They would definitely like to capture that.
They all are near Europe.
You could have tens of millions on the move trying to in to Europe.
That's political pressure and that will crack anyone.
Russian wheat exports are worth about 12 billion dollars a year.
He can do the most damage to the global economic and political status quo for that Much. Póc money.
Cost a lot more than €5 I’m afraid. 100 Km per day and say the car does 8L/100km that’s now €16…per day. Just to get to work. Not to mention all the others like tax, tolls, maintenance. The economics of travelling any distance to a job daily will soon be questionable in many cases.
2L is the size of an engine, not fuel consumption. we had a merc C180, 1998cc or 2L, fuel consumptions approx 10-11L.
My friends 162D volvo xc60 hybrid, consumption 8.5L average.
By posting such non sense we see how credible your posts are
Edit: what car did you google?
Very unfair to the lad, he's not that bad.
1.0 litre to do 50 kms? Are ya having a giraffe! The very most economical cars won’t reach that kind of mileage
I did not expect an invasion at all this soon. I expected one in the near future when Ukraine pushed more heavily for Nato membership and was going to be accepted in. Putin surprised me going all-in with a very low number of combat troops. What his intentions are militarily who bloody well knows, but i have doubts he pushes further into Nato country. Realistically that’s WW3 and Putin is well aware of that
Genuinely am concerned we could end in WW3.. Developing every day expect to wake up someday to hear some mad event happened in Europe and the west in a fight with Russian military power somewhere,. I hope am wrong again?
Putin’s war aims are stated: destroying the Ukraine military and replacing the government with one more friendly to Russia. Russia will only stop now when the job is done or Ukraine by miracle defeats the Russian military.
Expect Putin to take all Ukraine. Why would you stop just at the east and south? secure borders on all sides i would think.
Jesus Christ! This is horrific for anybody who is not in the top 10% of earners… It needs to be tackled stat. Even with WFH, what about the poor nurses, Gardai, retail staff, etc
That's some mileage your getting. Must be pushing it half the time. Most cars do about 6 or 7km per litre. 10km/l would be really efficient
Comparing Syria to Ukraine is one hell of a jump....the Syrian war started because Syrians themselves revolted against a heavy handed regime, and to this day, there is still ( and will continue to be ) hatred and animosity towards Assad. Even after 10 years and with Russian help, the Country is still not 100% under regime control. Hundreds of thousands of Syrian fighting age men left rather that stay and fight for either the regime, or opposition. And If Putin has to pull out of Syria, I wonder how it would go for Assad ???? Interesting situation, if it happens.
Now compare that with Ukraine, an aggressive Russia with a large army deliberately invaded an independent Country, Ukraine. And no surprise, this invasion is being resisted, and unlike Syria, where fighting age males departed, the opposite is happening in Syria....thousands and thousand's of Ukrainians are returning home from country's they have lived in for years. Motivated and driven by a desire to protect their people and home land. And you know something rogber? They will do it too!! Russia Slava Ukraine.
I think he googled 2L car,
2L = 100kms
So obviously 1L = 50kms
LOL
I didn’t Google any specific car. 😬 Thanks for the correction! Engineering is not my gig
Yep he's only Roose Bolton bad and no where near support Putin bad 😉
Do the Ukrainian soldiers in Mariopol really think they can hold on to the city? There is no chance of their comrades in the west of the country breaking through to relieve them. Nothing is worth letting 200,000 civilians die of starvation or thirst or lack of medical supplies.
It is conceivable that up to 10-15m could decide to flee. We will be taking 2% of that so 200-300k refugees.
It will be a massive strain for the country and the EU as a whole.
I was just doing a quick calculation on how much my best-friend is spending a week on petrol per week. I was worried, because I know how tight things are for them already. That is why him, his wife and kids moved out of Dublin. They were hoping for cheaper rent. And now this is a kick in the balls
It's shocking that it is news to you, you must either be a young person from Dublin or a politician.
I am neither young nor from Dublin nor a politician (it would be political suicide to be so vocal on Boards 😂).
I am lucky because I live next to where I work. Because my family is down the country, they live close to work also. Selfishly, it really hits home when it affects a loved-one….
