As with everything with the Russians they would never admit that, it would be the usual stream of outrageous denials, misinformation and accusing the other side.

Putin won’t have much choice. The Ukrainian army has 215,000 permanent members. Another 250,000 reservists and another civilian volunteer force with ten’s of thousand more armed and basic trained civilians.

The Ukrainians also have NLAWs, Javelins and various other advanced anti tank weapons.

Putin isn’t going to send his troops and tanks into heavily populated towns, cities or other urban areas to just be picked off in a bloodbath. The only way he can do it is with significant advanced bombing campaigns

So they scramble at the airport was forecast? Interesting. Don't logistic movements depend on Intel?

The logistics were supplied by US civilian contractors who left before the Afghans had any chance of fighting back. I'm not sure all logistics moves depend on intel, surely it depends on how dangerous the route is.

Pretty easy to forecast the balls up at the airport, again not because of a lack of quality intel.
 
Perhaps the Russians should remember Stalingrad and what an armed resistance can achieve if sufficiently motivated. I don’t think Russians are unique in fighting hard to protect their country and the Ukrainians will be well supplied with arms, intelligence and anything else, short of involvement, that nato can give them.
If Belarus allows Russia to launch attacks from their territory they will also become a target. An unpopular leader who involves his country in an unnecessary armed conflict could find himself in real trouble from his own people especially if his forces are occupied elsewhere.

Whoah whoah. You’d think the clue was in the name but have a look at their shit on Twitter mate.

Yesterday was their gaffer suggested the false flag prediction was a cover for a US sponsored assault on occupied Donbas.

They are against western geopolitical ambitions. Their name is massively misleading. They never criticise Putin and their recent graphics shows Crimea as part of Russia. All their crack has been “stop the war in Ukraine, stop NATO expansion”. They haven’t criticised the troop build up and have said the western media are in hysteria and whipping up Russophobic tensions.

Don’t judge this book by it’s cover. They are useless communist tankies.

I'm no fan of NATO it doesn't mean I want Putin to invade Ukraine. Stopthewar are a UK based coalition, they are more likely to criticise our side as it makes more noise. They still aren't cheering for Putin to march into Ukraine. As with anything political there are 627 angles to everything.

Putins best mate is saying no. But China will invade Taiwan if the chance comes...
