    I ask for images captured by Western Intelligence instead of the crap from Digital Globe, Inc. and what do you post? More crap from Digital Globe, Inc.

    And I love the disclaimers in the photos:

    "1. Six probable 2519 self-propelled guns
    2. Probable support vehicles"

    If you are going to keep this game up as proof of a Russian invasion then please stop wasting my time.

    When can we expect the Russian's superior armed forces rolling through Europe ? I mean Jesus the UK defence budges is only slightly below the Russians what about France Germany the list goes on.

    When did Russia retain it's pre collapse military capacity ? There is no way in hell Russia could win a conventional war with NATO. Your statement is the fantasy one. If it was even remotely true Russian tanks would be moving through Poland and alike as we speak.


    Again, taking a post and falsely accusing me of making a statement I never made. Since when did I ever say that Russia would win a conventional war against NATO? I said Russia would annihilate any European country in a week. OK? That's what I said so stop making stuff up.

    As an aside I'm not going to get into some childish comparison with you about military strengths. You can play that "my dad can beat up your dad" game if you want. I'll stick to the subject at hand, i.e. the mythical Russian invasion and the lack of evidence thereof.

    I wonder why Russia has not gone into Poland ... I'm glad to see you acknowledge NATO will not be beaten. So explain how Russia invading a NATO country would not bring the full military response of NATO ? I don't think Drinking large amount's of Vodka and thinking of the Hight of the Cold war will help much.

    I haven't acknowledged anything about NATO. Are you going to constantly make things up? Are you going to constantly make false assertions about what people say? Is that how you operate?
    I stated that Russia could annihilate any European country in a week, including Ukraine. You can try to derail the discussion with a load of locker-room whatiffery about NATO but I'm not interested. Like I said, Russia could annihilate Ukraine in a week (or any other European country...now you can squawk about NATO all you want, it's irrelevant to what I'm talking about) but haven't.
    So... Russia have invaded Ukraine, apparently, but Ukraine have defeated them. Is that what's happening?

    No need to enlighten myself Egg was saying Russia could flatten any EU country I pointed one close it it's borders that it would not. He seems to think the Russian military is something it is not. Why I was asking when can we expect Russian tanks in Paris for example. They are having enough trouble trying to take Ukraine.

    So which one of those photographs show a Russian invasion of Eastern Ukraine? We can do this shit until the cows come home but you're making yourself look very foolish.

    Russia is getting a great run out of their victories in WW2. Their not in a situation anything like that time now though. They were able to win WW2 because they out manufactured Germany. They won't be able to do that today and they won't be able to depend on their terrible weather to protect them this time either. Modern machinery isn't as susceptible to cold as they would have been back in 1940.

    Are people now saying Russia isn't in the process of invading parts of the Ukraine?

    No they can't. does Russia have transporters and can appear in random EU country's ? They would first have to go through Ukraine, Belarus. I would lay off the Vodka. And to be fair they are struggling in Ukraine at the moment so I wont be expecting tanks in Paris just yet or in Germany.

    You seriously over rate the russian army .

    It's got numbers that's it for the most part ,it's so called moderniseation programme will take 30 + years to complete .

    As for denying russian tanks saying there rusting and there are weeds is that some kind of forensic proof is Rediculous .
    The Ukrainians don't have the latest issue russian tanks .

    When tanks are hit by anti tank missiles the inside will burn but that's about it and then left exposed for months they eventually rust but hey nobody's perfect

    Are Hitler, Napoleon, Frederick II of Prussia and Charles XII of Sweden your students? :)

    You have asked for Photos and dismissed all, Just like you have continually asked for prof of the Buk system taking down the plane and then dismissed all evidence. On the one hand always demanding proof on the other dismissing all proof that does not fit the agenda.

    So now you're saying that Ukraine forces have repelled a Russian Invasion, is that what you are saying? Russia has invaded, and Ukraine have defeated them yet the only evidence of the invasion is a rusted hulk of a tank that could be anywhere and this shot was taken last year.

    No footage of tank battles. No Ukrainian warplanes striking Russian columns and strafing Russian troops. No nothing. Just a pack of bullshit from "Mr Chocolate" himself Poroshenko.

    No, what I asked for was evidence. Credible evidence, and what I got was a bunch of bullshit pictures of Russians in their own country or Russians in Crimea by people trying to pull a fast one and fob that crap off as proof of a Russian Invasion of Eastern Ukraine.

    And then I get you trying to blag me out that I am guilty of dismissing evidence and proof that is anything BUT evidence and proof.

    Nice try but I'm not the fool you take so many others for.

    No, but Germany had it's most crippling loss due to getting caught up in the Russian winter, if they had a sensible leader they would have turned around and waited but they had a lunatic in charge that pushed on regardless..

    Outside of that it was russian ability to produce adequate weapons much faster than germanys technologically superior yet fragile weapons. The russians couldn't depend on farmers building tanks in their haysheds this time around though, manufacturing has moved on from them days.

    Well you see they all think the same, it's Putin's sperm on their lips that makes them to think that way. :pac::D

    1. He did not say Russia is going to invade.

    2. Russian army have been in Paris before so I won't be surprised to see them in Paris again.

    3. "They are having enough trouble trying to take Ukraine." - If you really think so I am speechless. Man, I am telling you: you don't know what u talking about. In case of full scale war Russians will destroy Ukraine in 2-3 weeks. Max.
    I KNOW IT.

    Any Idea when I will have to start leaning Russian then ? You know when Russia officially invades Ukraine and then steam rolls the rest of Europe as Egg believes that's possible. If they could destroy Ukraine before the NATO response why have they not done so ? I wager they can't, all Ukraine would have to do is hold the line till NATO turns up.

    Not that I would ever hope for NATO to get involved.

    1. he did say Russia can flatten any country in Europe. Read again.

    2. You better hope not.

    3. Dreamer. And remember Hague is the place where war criminals get hanged. wonder which par you will jump to when Russia will fail?

    I think your aggression is probably reducing the effectiveness of whatever substance there is in your posts.

    But I'm wondering -- if you're not one of the Kremlin's troll army as you seem to claim -- then why are you following the troll army's playbook, pretty much to the letter?

    The playbook is satirized fairly accurately I think, in a graphic that's been doing the rounds for a while now - the five stages being something like denial, anger, equivocation, paranoia and fightback and this discussion seems to be stuck at stages one and two at the moment.

    To be fair the Propaganda guy is having the same problem in the article I linked.

    So Russia hasn't fired a sigle rocket. Hasn't flown a single sortie to support the ground forces. They just parked 9000 troops inside Eastern Ukraine and left them there and Kiev pummelled them? And that's your hypothesis, Rommel?

    More howls of laughter from the gallery.
