Is Ukraine about to have a war?
Russian state Duma has stated that the DPR and LPR will be recognized within the entire region. In practice it would mean that they want to expand to areas currently held by Ukrainian military, cross the current borderline. That would in essence mean that the Russian troops would have to confront the Ukrainian troops. It would mean war. The madness has just started, and Putin has to be stopped.
The State Duma told in what borders the DPR and LPR will be recognized
The head of the committee, State Duma Kalashnikov: recognition of the republics of Donbass will be within the borders of Donetsk and Luhansk regions
...
According to him, “now the DPR and LPR occupy less territory than it was in the referendum, but they believe that their statehood extends to that territory too.”

Well. Happy to say I was wrong - I didn’t think he’d be stupid enough, but I also wonder how much Biden escalating this over the past 2 weeks may have been a miscalculation also

I see the Russian AN124 is in at EGNX, business as usual,
Boots on the ground are not worth much if the other side owns the sky.
Only realistic chance is Guerilla tactics. Meat grinder. Give them thousands of sniper rifles with NVD. Give them Stingers. Give them Javelins. Provide them with IED. The Russian public will get tired of hundreds of their children coming back in an aluminuum box daily relatively quickly.

the Russian public does not have a say, after years of dictatorship. Now, this is Germany, 1939. And yes, we now how Hitler ended, but we also know what happened to the world before that.

and where is Vitek, when we need his input to know the real truth? Trolling some other website from his troll factory in Sankt Peterburg ?
International Law is not respected, treaties are not respected, statements and promises are not respected, even from the top.
What is left? Facts. We seem to need robust containment as roll back means war.

I am neither of those things you said.
So far I have counted 5 instances of western inteligence saying that invasion is imminent! So can you really blame me for quering when someone screams "Wolf!"?
I never said that Putin is right and that invasion will never happen. Only thing that I did try is to give alternate point of view that Putin and Russia are doing what both USSR and USA/NATO have done before.
Now, if you believe that just beacuse it's USA/NATO doing those things OK, because your and their methabolism products don't stink, not my problem.
Why not just grab them by the nuts and seize every property in Knightsbridge and Belgravia? Shut down exports of every luxury vehicle to Russia, and every luxury consumable, diamonds, high end clothing, the lot. That’d have em squealing quick smart. Every Svetlana would be furious. Not a shot fired.

The sad thing is this ain't gone'a happen. Only as last resort after all-out nuclear war. Cause it would hurt the industry.
It will get more expensive for us to not react.
