Re: Hey there's about to be a war in Ukraine.
The compassion on this board is inspiring.

Re: Hey there's about to be a war in Ukraine.
It has nothing to do with compassion.
If Putin decides to steamroll The Ukraine then that billion may well have been paintball guns we gave them.

Re: Hey there's about to be a war in Ukraine.
It's not going to happen, but I personally doubt the Russian Army would steamroll the Ukranian army. In the Georgia episode, the Georgians shot down 20 of the Russians planes. I saw an infographic the other day that showed the comparable forces in the region, and Ukraine was at around a 3-1 disadvantage. That might mean Russia would win, but I think it would be very costly. I am personally a little surprised, and very glad, from a not wanting bloodshed point of view, that the Ukrainian government didn't respond with force.

Re: Hey there's about to be a war in Ukraine.
At least it would stay in our own country.
Your brainwashed anti-rich posts are getting tiring. That last one even had racist overtones. The former hippie, still pot-smoking colleges professors everywhere are proud of you.

Re: Hey there's about to be a war in Ukraine.
Viktor Yanukovych looks less and less like the legitimate President of Ukraine, to me. When the next elections happen, what will Putin do if a majority of Crimeans vote against the way the western Ukraine does?

‘We control everything’: Crimea breaks ties with Ukraine - The Globe and Mail
LOL. Nobody believe this bullshit propaganda coming out of Crimea.

Re: Hey there's about to be a war in Ukraine.
A couple of Ukrainian barracks had their weapons confiscated by the first wave of Russian Airborne, there won't be too much of a fight.

Re: Hey there's about to be a war in Ukraine.
The first wave Russia had complete surprise. If they tried to fight a ground war I doubt very seriously that they would have any kind of air superiority and claiming and holding ground would be difficult. BUT that doesn't mean at this point Ukraine could re-take Crimea without a LOT of bloodshed. I think that is lost to them now, and economically that is a major blow.

Re: Hey there's about to be a war in Ukraine.
Quote:
5,000 Russian tanks come rolling in to western Ukraine and they just lay down for them. Putin sets up a new new pro Russian govt and then leaves and its like back in the good old soviet days. And Putin will guarantee somehow that Sevastopol will always be open/pro Russian since its his home port for the black sea fleet which leads to the Med. Either way its all about limiting westernization from coming to his doorstep. A pro Russian Ukraine creates that buffer zone for him.
