Blowing up gas pipelines would mean grain shipments would end.
It will,seems to be a reluctantance among many in West military to escalate the war to Russian territory,or put boots onto Ukraine soil in large numbers.....can sense a certain stalling of relations since that botched assination,and a certain unease,and pullback by yanks answering qs publically on Ukraine since bombings in Crimea and Russian arms depots.......serious qs are having be asked as regards whom exactly controls the Ukraine army operations
The week of Ukraine independence day,when world leaders could have lined up in Kyiv/have events at home to show support,ala Paddy's Day,Boris Johnson being only one willing to appear there publically at least
Ukraine fired missiles at 3 x Russian bases today. Substantial damage.

Yea that was some real botch job from Ukraine at that assassination. Imagine sending that woman out with her child, and making sure she had her azov regiment ID card on her while she was at it. What were they thinking?
But fair play to the FSB who solved it all within 2 days, very efficient of them.
They literally announced another 3 billion in aid just yesterday
Enough NATO has 2 go in if not partially already this is europe threat Ukraine are limited tired whatever
Kick the animal fuckers out do war drills on Ukraine borders and blacksea intimadate continuously for a month stop appeaising Russia.
Duda the polish pm also visited on the day before their day of independence for the induction on the walk of the brave.
? Ok and then it becomes escalated.
what then?
That’s a thought.
But, what I meant was inherent incompetence and lack of specialist skil and materials.
I'm not a great fan of coincidences. She was targeting NATO officers. Putin's daughter married Jorrit Faassen - son of a senior Dutch NATO officer.
May the natural gas burn their ass and blow them all to hell as someone once said
Sure they can, but when it comes to paying for it.....? Its not free. The Communist ethos of everything is free is long gone,,,you want something now in Putins Russia, you pay for it. Falling investment rising unemployment, shortages of imported goods, all add up to a shortage of cash. And in rural Russia, wood is the standby source of heating as the gas pipes often fail, pumps break down due to the extreme cold / bad servicing etc, and if that was not enough, you have the endemic corruption. In the apartment blocks, its a yearly battle to get the management to turn on the gas., and keep it on. Life in Russia is hard. On a balance, if I had to choose between spending the winter in Russia or Germany, I'd head for Germany...no question about it.
Lots of stuff happening here. Don't know exactly what.
Be generous and assume he was very drunk when he typed that barely intelligible message
Theatrical style of chat show hosting, interesting that they often are standing at lecterns. Adds a presidential and weighty look to it.
Spouting absolute garbage though most of the time.
To remove them from the nuclear plants yes. Didn't you read my post?
Oh I did.
So let’s play this out.
NATO moves in and attacks and kills or takes prisoner the Russian soldiers and weaponry that are holding the nuclear plant.
What happens then?
Russia is getting desperate they have pulled s300s from Syria to be redeployed in either Russia or ukraine,
The same s300s that were deployed to stop Israel bombing assad and Iranian forces, Israel has literally bombed Syria on a near weekly basis for the last few years and didn't have a single aircraft lost to Russian missiles
Doesnt help much if you dont have money to buy it
I guess they found the inflatable S-300's weren't that good at shooting anything down.
Putin finally sees which way the wind is blowing when he witnesses what true military power is. His ragtag army holding the power plants have just been crushed in a 30 minute blitz by NATO special forces, while all available russian airpower in the region never even left the airfield before it erupted in a fireball.
Putin, ever the hard man, ordered russian nuclear forces to defend the motherland and prepare to launch. Feeling proud, but scared, Dmitry moves his shaking hand over the fire control trigger, only to pause when he hears the unmistakable voice of Morgan Freeman telling him 'don't do that son'.
I'm assuming this is the answer you were expecting, yeah?
Does Morgan speak Russian?
Quite likely nothing as everytime putin got slapped down and “humiliated” he fades away somewhere for a while
Media can be extra cheeky and claim “special military operations to de naZify a nuclear plant”
NATO can always say it was little green men or NAFO, play them at their own game.
There's a high probability that if NATO rolled into Ukraine in force and pushed Russia out of all of Ukraine, there would be no blowback from Russia.
Puta can call it a special withdrawal operation and the public would lick it up.
However there's a small chance some NATO plane would mysteriously get shot down over the Atlantic or a ship sunk etc... and we enter a tit for tat game of ever increasing odds.
Easiest and possibly faster solution is arm Ukraine to the hilt and I mean western tanks and planes, yes they take a while to get trained in but ultimately in the end Ukraine will have all NATO gear as they move closer to the west. No point in delaying that.
Russian jet was shot down by Turkey with 0 blow back. Strength is the only option.
A Malaysian passenger airline was shot down by Russia with 0 blow back. So I'd tend to agree projecting strength is the only option.
Anything else just emboldens Russia. But you still get into a tit for tat and risk the war extending beyond Russia and Ukraine and quickly escalating.
Most of Putin's red lines have been crossed. Remember his speech about any western involvement would cause a retaliation the likes the world has never seen etc... personally I'd love to see a NATO training base right inside Ukraine's border just to piss him off or a NATO peace keeping force in Lviv.
His red lines shift so much, it's just case of easing them in. The west won't supply heavy armor until they do, they wont supply aircraft until they do etc...
It's like a slow boiled frog.
I have a 4d chess solution. See how far Ukraine can go in getting back territory. If it stalls for x amount of time. UN sends in the Turks as peacekeepers in a demilitarized zone setup around the offending areas. Turkey could do it as a non Nato member And waver the attack clause.
Can't Russia veto the UN peacekeepers as it's down to the security council? If Turkey wavers the attack clause, can't Russia just bomb Turkey and take over the Bosporus strait and send in more and more warships? Or they just send in the warships knowing Turkey won't attack as they have no NATO defense clause?
Well TBH non of the Russian kit seems to be working or very effective apart from artillery. There keeping the ships out of harms was it seems. Russia did not respond after it's jet was taken out. What the the Russians are willing to do vs what they can is completely different. As show in Ukraine. Poor equipment and soldiering. Unless you count looting and drinking as skills.
That's all true, but vetoing a security council UN peacekeeping mission to Ukraine just takes a signature or a verbal objection? Surely they can manage that? That's your first 4d chess move, be a shame if it unraveled with just a signature or a verbal objection at a UN security council meeting from the Russians.
