It’s hard to even imagine someone being crazy enough to use nukes. They haven’t been used on a country since 1945 and the nukes today are even more powerful.

It would kill a few hundred thousand people and possibly 1 million more would die from the radiation.

He is crazy but he can’t be THAT crazy
he's a soviet. i dont think you understand how little soviets care

more soviet civilians died than all the axis soliders COMBINED. they slowly committed that before they let anyone else take them out.
and putin was born and raised in that era. if he dies, he takes all of russia with him.

like i said in another thread, either he gets ukraine for momentary peace or he gets assassinated by a rogue russian operative. because if there's any hint of a western country being behind the assassination, we're right back here.

Ruskies bet best is to just go renegade and and attempt to blitz the whole East Europe within the next 1 to 5 years cause its over if they let Berlin do this and acquire nuclear weapons. This is legitimately the end of the post World War 2 order, Germany and Japan legally not supposed to be able to do this. Scary af Im not with none of this :lupe: they done woke up Freddy just to get at Jason like German tendencies aint :demonic:

This is a complete hypothetical and not how I feel about anything. But could the US take over the Ukraine in 72 hours? Again don't look too much into that question, it's just something I've been wondering regarding military strength and all that crap.
Depends on objectives of the take over.

Russia and US could do it.

But Russia’s problem is they need Ukraine in tact for the invasion to be beneficial. Think about it. What’s the point of taking over a country and installing a government if you are going to spend all they money gained to rebuild the country you just bombed? Hustling backwards.

The US in its attacks in Afghanistan and Iraq had no problem knocking down military and infrastructure sites cause they were going to rebuild from the ground up anyways. Out problem was not turning the population against us any further as foreign invaders.

So what am I supposed to believe :francis:

Well in this case a Russian said so therefore @loyola llothta believes him immediately. :russ:

It's war. Both sides are putting out a ton of bullshyt and both sides have shyt going on that's difficult to verify. If you see anyone in here immediately promoting social media as if it's reality without any verification, you can know they're either naive as fukk or a full clown.

Fake hoteps been brainwashed by fake woke sounding tweets. All you have to do is post something pro African with a reason for invading Ukraine and they eat it up.

Same dummies were in here trying to sell their flat earth theory.

No one seems to mention Russian mercenaries murdering Africans or the 100’000ish strong RNU (Russian national unity) group and others like it. I’m not sure if that’s being purposely overlooked or or lack of insight.

Some of the comments on potential strategy show a clear lack of experience actually being in sustained combat or understanding of anything tactical in real context.

Plus those that seem to be getting hurt that there’s any discussion going on at all lol.

Lol take us all with a grain of salt

No they aren't. Russia has not killed any standing president of a nation (as far as I can remember).

Please go back to 2008 and this was the exact situation in Georgian-Russo war: Russo-Georgian War - Wikipedia

Their plan would be to capture him, detain him, put in a Soviet/USSR leaning government and put him on trial.

So going back to 1975 (when Putin joined the KGB), Wikipedia page "Soviet and Russian assassinations" includes:

Supyan Abdullayev, Vice president of the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria
Vakha Arsanov, Vice president of the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria
Ruslan Gelayev, Deputy Prime Minister of Chechnya
Turpal-Ali Atgeriyev, Deputy Prime Minister and National Security Minister of Chechnya
Abdul-Halim Sadulayev, President of the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria
Aslan Maskhadov, President of the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria
Zelimkhan Yandarbiyev, President of the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria
Dzhokhar Dudayev, President of the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria
Ruslan Alikhadzhiyev, Chairman of the Parliament of the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria
Sultan Ibraimov, Prime Ministers of Kyrgyzstan
Hafizullah Amin, President of Afghanistan
Mohammed Daoud Khan, President of Afghanistan


That of course along with hundreds of military leaders, journalists, and others. I really don't see any evidence that Russia is reluctant to assassinate political leaders when full-scale war is going on. Just because they spared the Georgian president doesn't mean they'll spare everyone.

I’ve been trying to get in touch with a veteran, turned combat photographer, who expatriated to Germany a while back. I haven’t seen his work since Syria/Iraq in 2014 but if he responds I’ll ask if he’s still doing that and if he’s in Ukraine. I wouldn’t get my hopes up though.
