vlad is happy, Thats a NATO "ALLY"

Turkey should never have been allowed to join NATO, I don't trust them at all.

 

[Puzzled]

Have we seen any Ukrainian tanks in combat yet?

They showed some soviet era tanks yesterday on the news but sadly they were breaking down and being left on the side of the road. Hopefully they have some more recent / better maintained equipment as well.

Yeah I saw that, they're strangely giving out the same name w/ the transponder, but maybe that's not so strange given the things we're seeing.

Kyiv is only a couple hours drive from the Belarus border, Baghdad is half way around the world.

That seems to have been quite a large difference that he has overlooked

Where are these positions if the Russians are landing in airports and in the suburbs of kyiv?

They haven't take the airport (MAIN) you can't cover every air strip in the country

is it standard POW policy to appear disoriented? because the russian POW's on camera they appear to have no idea what they were up to. And not having a clue where they were at

Turkey like Israel has always been neutral on this. Don’t forget Turkey downed a Russian jet not that long ago. They are not friends or enemies but will destroy any Russians that enter its territory.

Apparently they had no idea they were going to be invading Ukraine. They went for training and then were suddenly invading a country. It seems they know nothing about what is happening.

Right! From the limited and albeit unconfirmed videos i’ve seen, they look drugged.

Would be a good opportunity for China to take back some disputed territory from Russia. Whatever happens Russia is going to be reliant on China, China is going to exploit this.

I suspect that is (in part) why Putin had meetings with Xi.. Obviously I don't think China would be silly enough to go for a big land grab in Siberia but various border disputes could be interesting in areas where the broder isn't clearly defined (as per India).

It's unlikely but the risk is there and Putin obviously wanted to make sure the alliance was strong as he's had to move lots of forces from the Russian east in order to facilitate this invasion leaving it rather undefended!

Kyiv is only a couple hours drive from the Belarus border, Baghdad is half way around the world.

I think the difference is probably important.

yes its approx 250 miles from the Russian border, and Bagdad is 450 miles from Kuwait (where we had 100,000 troops) and it still took us a month to get there. That's the point, why did people expect an invading force to take Ukraine in a matter of hours/days?

it took Germany 18 days to conquer Poland at the start of WW2 for example and that's bloody quick.

Where did Putin get the idea that the current Ukrainian government is run by Nazis lol. The main party are centrists / populists as far as I can tell.

Never seemed to let facts get in his way before, though.

Probably some Oligarchs' possessions in transit. Or the Russians sneaking a bomb into the channel..

Advance, secure, move forward and repeat.

your point is? NATO should be united , turkey is the only country which didnt follow the rest. The bully of the region now screws the alliance by taking "equal disantaces"
