starting war and dismantling conventional forces is no big deal . But if west is successful in running a sustained proxy war both with in Ukraine and russia that ll hurt . One general of Ukraine army was claiming they have 5 million people with some basic training .
Many of these suppossed 5 million people will be claiming refugee status in EU soon.. Russia would force a migration of hostile populations if they make too much trouble.. Soviets did that extensively..

Internet is abuzz with Russia invading Ukraine news. Don't know what is the actual ground situation is, but it seems like Russia is indeed deploying for conflict.

The onus is on now NATO to deploy completely if they want to stop Russia.

@Akim take care and wish you and your countrymen remain safe and strong in the time of crisis.

The United States does not plan to increase its military presence in Ukraine, Florida National Guard soldiers remain there as instructors

I wonder if the baloon does go up, and Russia gets embroiled in a longer term conflict how it would affect weapons/spares supplies to India and our defence readiness in general. I feel we might get screwed either way in case of a conflict.

Reportedly, the United States Air Force (USAF) plane carrying US Secretary of State Antony Blinken is on route to Kiev/Kiyv right now.

Shit is going down.

MOSCOW, January 18 - RIA Novosti. The presence of hypersonic Zircon missiles in Russia makes it unnecessary to deploy military infrastructure, in particular, in Latin America, believes Andrei Kartapolov, head of the State Duma Defense Committee. "In the presence of modern weapons, such as hypersonics, there is no longer such a need [to deploy Russian military bases in Cuba and Venezuela], because, being in one conditional point in the Atlantic Ocean, a ship armed with Zircon missiles is quite capable of fulfilling any tasks and immediately leave - it can be a surface ship or a submarine," he said, answering a relevant question on the air of the Solovyov.Live program.
According to Kartapolov, the base is an "immovable object", which, on the one hand, carries a threat in itself, but is itself vulnerable."Therefore, I think there is no such need, and it is unlikely to be considered, but nothing can be ruled out in our world," he added.
Earlier, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov, speaking about the possibility of deploying Russia's military infrastructure in Cuba and Venezuela, said he did not want to confirm or exclude anything. US National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan, in turn, noted that the United States will give a "decisive answer" if Russia deploys its troops in Latin America.
