I'm curious about the Black Sea. Turkey (I can't type their new preferred name), was calling NATO out for not having assets in there. Merchant ships are/have been hit possibly intentionally. What assets does Turkey, and other Black Sea nations have to prevent Russia from just deciding the Black Sea is their's now?

I dunno, Russia don't seem to have any allies in this, even their usual most vocal supporters and the like are silent, or indeed in China's case seemingly placing some economic restrictions on them as well.

I think if NATO got involved militarily then his friends would come out in force.

It's more than beheading "A" Russian Soldier unless you're talking about another Chechen vid, the one I saw was of a Russian unit who were trapped, surrendered and then as well as beheaded were mocked and laughed at as they pleaded for their lives and their mothers with one only being fortunate to be killed by a bullet as he tried to escape after witnessing the massacre of his comrades. Still it's fairly tame these days compared to the likes of Funky Town or the Ghostrider footage or any of a multitude of Cartel videos that I insta avoid because although having morbid curiosity I have no interest in watching torture

Yes, the full clip shows a lot of unpleasant leadup. I do remember the guy getting shot.

In terms of cyber warfare from Russia they have been pretty chill, either that or the West has grossly overestimated their capability, I fear they are intentional keeping a lot of their latest tech and doctrines close to their chest saving it for a focus on the inevitable attack on NATO once they're done with Ukraine, Putin said any attempt to interfere will be met with a response, he didn't say when, I fear it will come later

I didn't say that "insurgencies are not possible outside of star wars" What I did say was their chance of victory is as real as star wars. Which to be fair wasn't true they can win if they have a strategic advantage, sometimes thats mountains and sometimes it isn't.

Urban warefare can be difficult if you care about preserving the buildings and avoiding civilian casualties. Something tells me Russia may not care too much.
Well we will know by tomorrow how much bloodshed has happened in Kyiv and I'm certain you will be happy to see Ukraines fighting to the death against the Russian's.

Russia didn't care much in Grozny, they still got their asses kicked.

So what happens if Russia target these ?



Possibly, one of many sources

I mean, Russia probably knows, but why are they posting pics of them! There's only so many roads into towns and if the Russians control the air...

Edit - appears already delivered. Will make taking the west that much more difficult, if it wasn't already impossible. Trouble will be getting them into the capital if it's surrounded.

Oof, just started watching and I can already see number of people turning this off before they get to the 4 min mark, because they don't like what he says.

I like and agree with this take from his wiki page.
Mearsheimer concluded that US policy should shift to recognize Ukraine as a buffer state between NATO and Russia, rather than attempt to absorb Ukraine into NATO

Oh well it's too late.

Considering your post and Nato's warning maybe Nato is concerned about an uptick in Russian Cyber attacks after this is over.
