    There is way to spin this by Garry b and archangesk claiming Russia doesn’t care about Kiev or Ukraine when Putin is giving speeches about Ukrainian history on the internet.

    Man this is bad for Russia indeed. The only mistake the west made is that they haven’t given Putin an off ramp. And a well executed invasion has the potential to flip the world on its head.

    They didn't care about Ukraine for years. What changed is the US trying to bring them into Nato.

    The only thing that an invasion can make is make Russia bigger. Ukraine can't resist and no one will move to save them. They just gave away Ukraine.

    Russia will have a population of 200 million people and get the biggest country in europe as a bonus.

    USA totally failed their coup. I guess  new cold war woud suit them because they lost all their hot wars in the middle east and they need a constant war to be alive but the rest of the world won't side with them and still work peacefully with Russia. So no hot wars and no cold war which means fall of the USA

    Saying they didn’t care about it Ukraine for years is a straight up lie. They provided tons of cheap gas, ridiculously favorable loans, debt forgiveness, etc…. To keep them in Russia’s orbit. And all it took was a few nato backed skinheads backed by a few years of propaganda to counteract all of what Russia was trying to do. Moscow got fucking evicted from Kiev. The hard way and tumbled down the stairs.

    And there isn’t 40 million people left in that shit hole. The American backed puppet state ran most of the normal people out. If Russia does invade and take over they will be ruling over a pile of dog shit with a hugely hostile population.

    I really. Really really. Really don't see how in any shape, form, dimension, geodesic, singularity - see how this could all possibly have even been conceived, as a 'good idea'

    The LDNR is battling the Ukrainian army now. There are a number of zombified districts even in the Donetsk and Lugansk oblasts. Mariupol - well zombified; I can provide videos. Slavyansk, little is heard from it nowadays but last I saw it was zombified too. Even though both of those originally were held by the DNR and ordinary civilians there tried to fight off the Ukrainian army that came into town.
    The northern districts of the Lugansk region were never in the LNR at any time, they belong to a different historical area really than the Donbass.

    And that's not taking into account the possibility of the Russian regular army invading the Ukraine. Which it's in a position to do. Albeit I hope no such decision is being considered.

    According to one poll, 45% of Russians support recognizing the DNR/LNR, while 40% are against it.
    There is another poll that suggests much more support for the move.
    Either way society is divided. And as for invading the Ukraine outright, I don't imagine who would support such an insane move.

    could we have at least one video? Smile

    The border of DNR/LNR is shut, no one allowed in, civilians can cross to Russia. This confirms what we saw this afternoon coming back from the 35th Battery event.

    The fight for the rest of DNR/LNR will start by week's end. It is unknown if Russian forces will be involved but the leash is off NAF.

    The hunt is on for anyone who was involved in killing civilians in DNR/LNR, Odessa and the Korson Massacre of the Krimean civilians returning from Maidan debacle.

    The NAF cannot oppose the Ukrainian army, if they are going to try and seize the entire oblast then the russians will need to commit.

    well, it really is not.
    I would have made a snazzy comment about backstabbin'.....but i have no idea to the purpose of these flights.
    Maybe evac flight for Embassy personell. Turkey has an embassy in Kiev.

    Common sense would suggest Erdo would not burn bridges with Russia over an lost cause like Ukraine.

    We will find out sooner or later if they have another purpose than evacuating their embassy staff.

    Ukraine is experiencing problems with the operation of the Bayraktar TB2 UAV due to the lack of good airfields

    According to the RIA Novosti news agency, Ukraine is experiencing problems with the operation of Turkish Bayraktar TB2 unmanned aerial vehicles due to the lack of suitable runways, Ukrainian military analyst, chairman of the board of the Ukrainian military center Taras Chmut said, the corresponding video was posted on YouTube. Turkish-made Bayraktar TB2 unmanned aerial vehicle (tail number "72 blue") as part of the 10th separate naval aviation brigade of the Ukrainian Navy. Kulbakino airfield (Mykolaiv region), July 2021 (c) Ministry of Defense of Ukraine

    According to Chmut, runways are one of the problems in general for Ukrainian aviation. "This is a problem that we live with, and which we must solve in any case, except for one thing - if we abandon aviation," Chmut said.

    According to the expert, only large airfields used by civil aviation are suitable for heavy Turkish Akinci drones, while military airfields are only “theoretically” suitable for them.

    "This is a matter of resource and resource of the struts (an element of the landing gear. - ed.). For example, Bayraktar (TB2 delivered to Kiev. - ed.), which are lighter, we had problems with the struts. There is a concept of take-off and landing resource , and if you need to change racks every three takeoffs and landings, then this is such a story, not really," Chmut said.

    He added that Ukraine needs to "do something" with the runways at the airfields of the Air Force, since the existing Soviet ones are not suitable in this case.

    In 2018-2020, Ukraine imported Bayraktar TV2 Turkish attack unmanned aerial systems, the purchase of which took about $74 million. In early February, President Volodymyr Zelensky announced that Ukraine and Turkey had signed an agreement

    With inflationary crisis currently wiping out US savings, along with housing bubble, derivatives crisis, Energy inflation, and now Titanium ban, 

    Pindos are in for MAX PAIN

    I do not think the US realizes what Russia can do if they are up to it. After what happened in Belarus and Kazakhstan recently both those leaders owe Putin a favor. A big one. If Russia coordinates sanctions together with the rest of the EEU (Eurasian Economic Union) even a titanium embargo's impact would be much magnified. If I was Putin I would not make an embargo but target specific companies like Boeing and put tariffs in place for others. The sanctions should be targeted.

    Irrelevant comment..

    Nobody is fighting alone in the ukraine conflict or any conflict.
    Ukraine alone will not exist even today as a country, without the economic aid and loans from the west. And without military aid , the not even an army today operating since ukraine is bankrupt and all the the money for the war comes from NATO.

    So ukrainian army is being significantly helped by NATO ,including english speaking mercenaries and heavy weapons support and logistics.. and the donbas forces are helped by Russia.. neither ukraine , neither donbass alone could do much.. that's why you have US,NATO and Russia aiding the sides they support.

    Talking about what can NAF do or not is silly.. no wars today happen solo.. you always talk about totally unrealistic scenarios , as when you were saying Americans were "winning in syria" when they not.

    Rebels can’t do anything on their own. They probably can’t even use toilet paper properly . Reminder to people on this forum how the Russian military bailed them out in 2014. And continue to bail them out everyday.

    Without the threat of Russian air incursion and russia smuggling SAMs into Donbas Ukraine/turkey drone operators would be eating n asty 30 cent porridge while blowing the rebels to bits. They are nothing without Russia. The delusions of grandeur on this site by some people is laughable.

    You've been watching too much CNN. The rebels were pissed at the lack of support they were getting from Russia in 2014.

    Did you think Russia rolled a battalion into the Donbass in 2014 or something ? They probably should have but they didn't.

    Mh17 wouldn't have happened either of Russia proper took control of the fight in the Donbas.
