Putin wouldn't survive too long if a crack squad of US commandos took him out in a raid involving zip lines and smoke bombs. They could have cool catchphrases, too.
Few nukes. Bitta shootin'. Back to Washington for beer and medals.
As much as I want to see Russia lose this war, that would be an absolutely f*cking awful, world ending strategy.
Besides America wouldn't even need Nukes. They could do this next week with their conventional weapons if they wanted.
I'm not a psychologist but Putin does seem very damaged (like a lot of fellow dictators). Cold and distant and incapable of forming personal relationships etc.
What about the nuclear submarines?
Lol Great trolling.
They couldn’t even take out Bin Laden in the middle of nowhere in Pakistan without losing a chopper, not sure that would be the best way to take him out!
Brave man. Pity there aren't more like him. I'm guessing he's left Russia.
Well, he'll need to avoid:
Stairs
Windows
Umbrellas
Cities with nice Cathedrals
Swimming pools
Baths
Tea
Locked bathrooms
Plenty more....
Some suggestion today that Ukraine are biding their time and preparing for a Spring offensive.
Typically they paint them or mark them as such anywhere near the action. One of the foreign guys fighting over there I follow has requested donations to cover an SUV, when they got one, they repainted it. It's not Feb 2022 with Russian units mingling with civilian cars, there's a consistent front-line now, so less of a need to mark out all vehicles, especially back-line stuff that is just used to ferry soldiers and their stuff around.
Yes good point. They would have to find them with there's first I suppose to take them out.
It makes me sick that many here are so willing to back the vile murdering rapist orc regime.
Does anything sound familiar....
No still in Russia, however he is the chairman of the All Russian officers assembly which may be a retired/ serving senior officers grouping. Highly unlikely he made the statement without the blessing of both serving and retired senior officers.
My own opinion is that the army will at some stage say enough is enough. The losses are horrendous, the officer core must be seriously depleted and it probably only time before there is an army mutiny.
After all the bleating and hand waving about Bakhmut supposedly falling it turns out Ukraine have driven them back.
orcs have sustained thousands of dead only to be back at square one all over again.
This war can only end with orc regime change.
It's the only way to guarantee the safety of Europe from these rapist murdering thugs.
Just the top 4 Borei class balistic missile submarines, each have 16 RSM-56 missiles. Each missile can have 6 warheads. Each warhead is 10 times the yield of the Hiroshima bomb.
So imagine your great plan goes down, and two of these submarines fire their missiles, one at the US and the other at Europe. That's 96 cities and towns in the US gone and likewise in Europe.
That's a real winning plan you have there, is it not?
Oh, and the 16 subs beneath those 4, well they all are ICBM carriers too. Luckily they fire fewer warheads, but it's hardly any comfort.
Ever wondered how the Ukrainians are slaughtering Orcs at around a thousand a day? Just watch - one tank vs 30 Orcs.
This is quite spectacular!
Thanks for this BR. Good to hear that he is chairman of the All Russian Officers Assembly. Top Brass. Sounds like he's voicing the opinions of all of them. Hopefully we're entering the "enough is enough" stage.
..
Sure they could, they have the non- nuclear capabilities to do so if they wanted, but if there was one trigger for full scale nuclear war for Putin, this would be it. He would push the button to end it all, world wide. Why do you think that the US/UK/EU are being so careful about the range of the weapons they are supplying to Ukraine? The last thing they want is to give Putin the justification to launch nuclear weapons.
One could hope for a repeat of the Eastern front in 1917 where the Russian army disintegrated because of a collapse of morale and mass desertion. They would save their own lives as well if they said “f**k this” and decided to go home.
I'd say that there are hunter killer subs US and RN trailing these alll the time and if an attack was certain they might be destroyed before they could launch. The US has 21 newer types. Still nobody would want to take the chance if it can be avoided.
Speaking of enough is enough… those in the Kremlin no longer think the head honcho is a master strategist… how they’ve come to that conclusion is of course a mystery.
I feel that collectively the gang here could damn near write the book on how these trolls work based on the past year we’ve had on this forum :P
For a gang that know how they work, you'd think they'd stop helping them out and giving them the win by responding to their provocations endlessly.
I would imagine they need MILITARY vehicles. You know, jeeps, trucks, armoured cars, etc. I can't see what use they'd get from a 10 year old Renault Clio. Maybe they can set up an Uber service in Western Ukrainian cities.
How is what I "want" relevant to this dicussion? Why do you want to know what I want?
The US exhortations that Ukraine abandon Bakhmut don't make sense to me.
Their narrative goes; conserve your resources, let them have it as it has no strategic value, concentrate on readying your forces for the big push, stall for time while all the training on the new goodies is going on.
I understand it in terms of what is being said at face value, and it makes sense for a couple of seconds, but when I think it through, I run into a few snags in the logic. The big one is, why do the Orcs stop at Bakhmut, as if that's all they want to achieve? Why wouldn't they just roll over it and keep on going, using the advantage you just handed them?
Ukrainian intelligence believes Putrid's current aim is to take and consolidate all of Donetsk and Luhansk, which makes sense as being the point you want to be at when you then start getting very serious about suggesting peace, which as we know, means we keep what we hold.
So I don't see why they magically stop at Bakhmut when they want all of Donetsk. They would keep going and you have gained nothing as this magic moment of a lull in fighting where you get to conserve your forces doesn't actually happen, and you have just handed them the advantage of having the infrastructure and cover of Bakhmut while they continue to push west, while you are now in the open. Resisting the take-Donetsk push does not get easier if you give up on every engagement of attrition and hand every settlement over while you are back to fighting in the open and they have the cover.
Surely the US suggestion isn't because they actually want Putrid to achieve his aims and the inevitable suing for peace, because that's the whiff I am getting from this suggestion to give up Bakhmut.
The Ukrainians are not stupid, and the fact they are steadfastly refusing to follow the US 'advice' on this suggests to me they probably don't see the point to it either.
