I'm Not so sure ,
Any Russian attack on a part of nato , would be preceded by the usual hybrid war bull , so western media reports about the unfairness of x region that should be part of russia ,being mistreated by what ever country - the first region to be acquired would be inconsequential, northern finland ,rural romania,a marsh in the baltics , somewhere already considered a buffer zone..
The playing of it as a minor issue ,a russian occupation would bring no material change,but trying to block it would be devastating,
The usual politicos would be pre-primed,
But the big thing would be a suitable continent wide crisis, real or manufactured, a distraction to make it harder to Focus on this minor invaison all the way over there ...
Well, there was a suggestion that the GLSDB would be in Ukraine on Wednesday...
That’s not entirely correct. In terms of hardware, yes, there was little change, but in terms of command philosophy, senior officers became less unilateral in their style, and NCOs became more of a thing. The US and Ukraine had quite a number of cross training events over the years between 2014 and 2022. (Actually, it started before 2014, but I suspect it kicked up a gear after then)
The main value of this so-called threat of invasion of Russia is that Putin has been using it as justification for everything he does. For the domestic audience, he is seen as the one and only protector of Russia, and the Russian way of life. A blanket permission to attack any part of Russian society he deems a threat to his regime. For the rest of the world, he uses NATO encroachment as a justification for his invasion.The fact that in recent history, no one has attacked Russia, is conveniently forgotten by Putin and Russians in general.

beating will continue until morale Improves coming from the Wagner group.....
Where else would you get it
I think it's not about invading and occupation I think it's more to do with revenge than anything and settling scores from WW2 till the fall of the Soviet union and independence
The issue I have with this fanciful invasion scenarios is: Who on earth would want any territory from Russia (excluding Kaliningrad, and some ex-Chinese territories, maybe)?
Like Napoleon and Hitler did?
Here's an article on Ukraines black market weapons industry during the 90s
Promptly seized and shipped to russia where they were dismantled.
Never heard of him before your post earlier
ddlg+ is usually ok.
I'm not on X any more thankfully and I could be mistaken but I don't think I would follow an account with that profile photo or that name. I had to look it up so thanks for polluting my search history lads...
...
Why would they spend decades stealing Everyone's elses tech and designs if they were more than capable of producing their own .
This would make no sense at all with regards to the nukes. China had tested its first indigenous nuclear weapon at Lop Nor all the way back in 1967. By the early 1990s, China had a sizeable arsenal and even started fielding 1st generation ballistic missile submarines. Why would they want to get their hands of nukes that were completely incompatible with their existing systems? Remember, China had split from the USSR in the late 1960s.
From the same source
Well China picked up themselves an aircraft carrier and fighter aircraft and engines from Ukraine, I wouldn't be at all surprised if they got there hands on warheads too
Is this being contested? Is ddlg referring to the same report? Dunno...
👎️
The US saw Russia as a safe pair of hands at the time. Better the devil you know than some unaccountable group gettin their hands on a stray nuke?
Any ideas about what happened to the warheads?
This should be sent to every TD. The brains of those missiles are made in Kildare FFS.

That's it the majority of funds already stay in the local economies and with order backlogs they have guaranteed employment figures and income taxes for the forceeble future, while offsetting some of the cost of new American projects
Large strikes have hit multiple targets in occupied Crimea
Johnny Harris video on how Russia is avoiding sanctions to use Western microchips and tech for their missiles.
Absolutely and it suits them with the current situation of funding pauses you send out less but sell more , there's so much stuff on order that it will be mid 2030s Before some customers see any actual deliveries and that's if the likes of Israel don't skip the que
The easy solution you think of, is followed by an ride out of the Kremlin feet forward. Pulling back out of Ukraine will be seen as weakness with the vultures crawling out of their hideouts.
