Russia invading Ukraine (NEWS/UPDATES)

[Helvellyn]

As for intelligence, the US must have moles at the very highest levels. Putin must be worried about that.

Incredible how they have done it, but pray to God they are not found. Within weeks anyone suspected of it will be killed, they are in so much danger.

Ha’way Ukraine stand firm

 

[Baloo]

Is the Russian army voluntary or conscription?

25% conscription apparently. I think that number will be a lot higher.

The main issue Russia still has is that NCOs and junior officers aren’t regulars (or at least long serving regulars).

This explains a lot of it.

China will be loving this. They are being praised for not supporting Putin.

The third superpower is becoming weaker by the day.

Military superpower yes. Economic one, no. Canada's GDP is larger than Russia's.

Trump would have threatened them, he threatened everyone else. Not my style, but hey different strokes.

China only wants one thing, to sell to all corners of the world, without exception. They will sit on the fence all the way, and will trade with whoever is left at the end of this war, it's all they do and all they want to do, nothing else matters to them but money.

Think that's most wealthy countries mind

Were not making money off the Saudis by arming their war in Yemen as a sociological experiment I don't think. Or laundering the money and assets of Russian oligarchs, more to the point.

wonder what bank does hunter get paid from for his role on the board of an energy company

You should be more concerned about how Deutsche Bank will pay Trump and asking why the Germans don’t want Swift taken down either, but I doubt you will.

Hopefully more stingers get in the country soon. The Russians can only function if they have air superiority. No force likes to see their aircraft falling out of the sky on a regular basis

Are Russia a super power? Their economy is about the size of Spain’s. Their armed forces whilst massive are poorly trained and equipped.

So much for big bad Russia.

 

[Baloo]

And then they were two

Makes you wonder if Russia will ally itself to China and be happy being the junior partner.

Could be watching all of Clancy’s books in fast real time. Russia will be applying for NATO membership in no time at all.

Their nukes make them one.

I think spies tend to know that getting found is a bit of an occupational hazard mind

They still have nukes and Putin considers them a superpower.
