If you are an Indian, then nevermind. I just wanted to get an Ukrainian's perspective on what their strategy is. From the look of things so far they appear to have borrowed Pak army's playbook.

Then what was all that day of unity chest thumping mumbo jumbo for? If there is no cost imposed and you guys simply bend over, do you think this will all stop at Donetsk?

I get that, but why isnt Ukraine resisting Russian troops entering Donetsk? Crimea all over again?

Stay safe! Are regular Russian/Ukrainian troops involved?

Cold war era Romania/Hungary/Czech Republic redux :hmm:

One country's Soviet era weapons destroying Soviet era hardware of another's

Will he be like?

Has the balloon gone up?

No matter what the odds are or differential in military firepower is, you never go to war with Russia. That is something history has taught us over and over. UN is toothless as ever. NATO will not put boots on ground. Economic sanctions will be useless too since China will help them circumvent...

Just a not so hypothetical question. What if Russia recognizes Donetsk and Luhansk as independent republics, and then sends over "unmarked" military personnel and hardware to pull off a land grab like in Crimea? Officially it has deniability but its quasi forces are inside Ukraine. I highly...

I think both Russia and the West walked away with something. Russia probably got a verbal assurance that Ukraine would not be included in NATO and West got assurance that Russia would not invade. Crisis defused for the time being but not sure how much these assurances are worth. It's a ticking...

While all this happens, I hope we whack the duffers on our western border for good. :eric:

Exactly! Was thinking when did he go from requesting for calm to this imminent war mode?!? :facepalm:

Would make Chamberlain proud :hehe:

If you were to follow NYT, WaPo, BBC cabal, the number of troops might exceed the population of Russia by a few times! :facepalm:

Trying hard to stay relevant!! :facepalm:

Its not Stalin's USSR which expended men like bullets. 4K is huge and a cost too high to bear for a declining Russian population, especially since this is some 56D move from Putin and their motherland itself is not at risk here.
