shit i've been saying make the world burn for a few months now hell I'd break out a lawn chair and sit as a nuke barrels towards my city surrounded by military bases (we have 6 wiithin a 50 mile radius prime target) whoever made that bright idea is a moron (several did in out 250+ year history)
They retreated rather quickly from Central Europe and half of Eastern Europe after their economy collapsed in ‘89. I should know. :V
They were viewed as occupiers there. Not so in Donbass or Crimea. Many of the Russians killed in action are actually fighters from the Donbass, i.e. Ukrainians. This has been the case since 2014.
If they don't retreat, they're staring down a total collapse of the Russian military, which is a considerably worse outcome for ol' Putler.
Even Hitler didn´t manage to create a total collapse. They have up to 25mio men if need be.
I agree. Probably involves some kind of deal though.
The most effective German troops in WW2 were often the old guys from WW1. 30 is considered old btw.
Which is not surprising. Most people don´t want to fight, see Afghanistan. Or why did Ukraine ban men from leaving the country right after the Russian invasion started?
And equipment for none of them, nor enough police to force them all into battle at gunpoint. You really must hate the Russia's working class to even suggest it.
Mostly just threats of torture and/or death, as is typical of the Kremlin.
This isn't WW2. They're walking into a literal meat grinder, and the weapons the US has provided Ukraine will definitely outlast any amount of meat Russia can throw at them.
And even fewer want to fight for a dictator's last gasp attempt at retaining relevancy on the world stage. Russia's already lost, but Putin's only acknowledgement of that fact will come in the form of two bullets to the back of his skull.
Equipment can be produced. I care about both the Ukrainian and Russian working class. I was born in Ukraine. Senseless killing for European "values". The only "value" the EU and Ukraine share is the hatred against Russians.
Are you on drugs? The Germans killed 27mio Soviets, half of them soldiers (though the percentages vary). THIS was a meat grinder. Even if you think the initial Russian forces have been elimated (which not even Ukraine claims), we are still far off from WW2 scenarios.
Russia loses once it retreats from Donbass. It won´t happen. Mark my words. They will probably gain more territory than they occupy now, but I wouldn´t bet on it. Only the first part.
Not fast enough. The Russians were already saddled with extremely outdated equipment at the start of the invasion.
It was still nothing compared to the efficiency of the modern weapons being provided to Ukraine. Ukraine doesn't need even a quarter as much manpower to mow down the same number of invading Russians.
Oh I believe you, but that just means they'll lose every last fighter in Donbass instead. What do you think that will do to public sentiment against Putin inside of Russia, given that it's already souring? Military recruitment/enlistment offices are being torched left and right as well. Hiding away in a bunker will only keep the scared little mouse safe for so long.
make me wonder how (in) effective the russian Body armor is and how many hollow point (dubbed "Cop killer") rounds Ukraine has compared to US tech (Dragon skin armor which can stop almost any bullet in its tracks even Hollow point) and other tech Russia has next to nothing if it wasn't for their nuclear capability or their buddies N korea and china) the USA would've been more "hands on" with this war supplying direct support speaking of nukes if putin even fires one all of Nato will be on his ass and possiable assassination plots will probably be drawn up but pretty sure the high ranking russian officials are already plotting his demise (another reason he's hiding, he's unable to even trust his own advisors from not killing him)
If it offers you any solace, Putin's regime is collapsing from the inside to dereliction and people ignoring his orders. I doubt the chain of command would let him nuke much.
You can also tell that 99% of the pol thread are left leaning
