Ukraine mega thread

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.

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.

Yup....it could be like France in WW2.
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.
