[milestogo]

There are some scary headlines out there this morning.

1. Are the North Korean soldiers

fighting in Ukraine going to escalate the war? Let's be fair to Ukraine.

[Fiendish Thingy]

2. As long as the strikes kill more Russians, and weaken the Russian army, I don't care. Nt

3. Trump will hand them the whole USA in 60 days

Meanwhile they can take a pounding. They will hunker down.

4. Biden's done playing nice. It's on now Pooty Poot.

[The Madcap]

5. I hate saying it, but

It's well past time.

6. It might in some ways

If Ukraine attacks further in to russia with long range missles russia may start shooting at more civilian targets furtehr in to Ukraine.

Beyond that I doubt it

7. Russia already does that

9. From day one

11. I mean even worse than now.

I am talking a like full on try to level every major city, an all out kill them all campaign.

They dont have the man power or equipment to do a huge push with infantry and equipment. But they sure could go on with carpet bombing ww2 style.

8. Of course.

They aren't going to use those missiles to deliver the mail.

What difference does it make to the dead, the orphans and the homeless, whether the mad destruction is wrought under the name of totalitarianism or the holy name of liberty or democracy? Gandhi

10. It's a Hail Mary to break the Russian Army.

The Oligarchs and the population are not happy with Putin, and the corruption in the system has ensured the Army cannot fight an actual war of needed to protect Russia itself.
It's easy to fund an influence based coup (Hungary, US, Brexit), an insurgency or a revolution in a developing country (Chechnya, Georgia, Crimea); it's a lot harder to ramp up an efficient army and actually get in and fight for territory.

This is a form of MAD being played out. If Ukraine is going to go down, they're going to take Russia with them. And it's probably going to be easier for Ukraine to rebuild than Russia.
Just my observation.

12. I hope so. Ukraine has two months to defend themselves.

After that, the war is over and they're part of Russia again. Their leaders will be executed and their farms and businesses will be confiscated by Putin and given to his cronies.
