Stultus Maximus posted:Also, and this is important, Russia has the world's largest nuclear arsenal. MAD is still a thing. Whether NATO has countries bordering Russia or not, nobody is going to threaten the territorial integrity of a major nuclear power. The discounting of MAD is worrisome and seems to be treated like 'Oh there's nothing to gain it won't happen'...much like this invasion. It isnt real until it is I guess.

Personally I think not taking it serious that Putin will use nukes, or believing he is bluffing, is really, really not a good move. He's a madman and all signs seem to be he doesn't loving care and rationale doesn't apply. He already invaded after all the talk about bluffing or how there was little to gain, etc...he probably figured he would have been dead by MAD decades ago, the guy isn't playing a game where diplomacy or sanctions can work on him.

I’d rather not sit around staring out my window waiting on a mushroom cloud, and I’d rather not influence people to sit around and wait for it either. I'm not suggesting staring out the window, but acting like Putin is a rational actor who won't do this for x y z is so far not working out!

They're a Ukranians National Guard unit comprised of Neo-Nazis with a very ugly track record who may have been receiving training from the CIA which means we need to ignore that they're Nazis as far as I can tell

CommieGIR posted:It feels like you are implying that the CIA was the reason the Maidan revolution happened rather than the fact that their corrupt Right Wing president was trying to sell them down the river like Belarus just did. no I'm referring to the reports of the CIA having trained paramilitary groups in Ukraine, of which many have neo-nazi ideologies since 2015, as has been reported in a slew of news reports the last few years hth I hope you're not somehow conflating that in to I'm in favor of Russia or whatever the gently caress. Nazis everywhere loving suck and the US training up paramilitary groups that may include a UKR Guard unit that is full of Neo-Nazis also sucks. I hope Russia doesn't succeed in rolling UKR and also that every Nazi dies maffew buildings fucked around with this message at 23:28 on Mar 2, 2022 |

This has been such a debacle of mind bending proportions that the usual metrics used to evaluate and answer your questions may be totally useless. Like, if they're stalled out on advancing and need to establish command and control and 'base' of operations to stage out/dig in for a continued offensive then yeah, you want a FOB, sure. But then there's like, everything else that has happened up to this point so ???
