yea this isn't 'insane' or whatever, this is extremely rational behavior for an imperialist strongman, as we can see in real time apparently this is a super easy win for him to show how tough and cool he is, that's not 'insane' that's just imperialism.

its automatically insane if you don't agree with western perspectives, OP

timed explosives?

like, they were planted there the whole time?

A lot of the western media on Spetznaz is widly off, but NATO assessments from the mid 70’s on suggest they would have done something like that throughout western Europe. Almost every major NATO installation and headquarters was expected to be under some sort of ground surveillance and possibly sabotage by their guys, who may have been there since the start of the diplomatic crisis.

I know the Canadian contingent expected to lose our primary airfield and arms dumps and we were waay behind the inter-German border in NATO reserve.

I kept saying that all of this poo poo was forgotten in the end zone dances after 1991.

There's no substantial armed anti-fascist faction in Ukraine right? To my knowledge, the militias are just Ukrainian-speaking Nazis and Russian-speaking Nazis

yea that's actually really fascinating if true, it speaks to a hopefully pretty light war if they had this level of internal support.

Tbh it would be darkly funny if the end of all this was just a poo poo ton of Ukrainians confirming the whole 'Ukraine is basically just Russia' by working with Russia.

The dark comedy would be if Ukraine just folded to Russia like the US Afghanistan's puppet folded to the Taliban.

The US and their allies need to stop using economic warfare and proxies to enforce an already dead hegemony.

I thought what led to the current situation was Russia positioning soldiers in the border of a neighbor country after not getting what they want and giving them orders to advance, sorry.

You're right let's deescalate and do nothing, it worked in the past. I'm sure this expansion won't continue, this time it'll work.

I mean that's what's probably just gonna happen, they don't have the military to resist this and it sounds like this has been extremely surgical in crippling what they do have, even if Ukraine goes full militia urban warfare resistance this is gonna be over by this time tomorrow unless things get really buck wild.

Working hard, thank you!
I don't know what I'm talking about but my read is that the azov battalion etc are groups that exist already and want to fight Russians and separatist rebels, so the government said ok go for it because it's easier to supply them rather than scold them or crack down on them.

Which is not a Good Thing but also doesn't mean that Ukraine's government is nazis. Am I off base here?
