That could be the question that we are all asking very soon.

"How many American lives are we willing to give up to help stop Putin from absorbing neighboring countries?"

I don't know what the answer to that would be from me, but my guess is that our citizens are all over the board on it and heavily skewed towards 'none'.

I can say that I'd prefer to arm the Ukrainians and help them defend themselves first, while hoping that American soldiers don't need to get involved in actual combat roles. But if it drags on, atsome point I'd probably end up supporting our troops helping the Ukrainians directly too.

He’s not gonna stop. It’s so eerily similar to Hitler in the 30s. He KNEW what would happen if he invaded Ukraine. He did it anyway. If he takes it and other nations wanna join NATO, it’ll be the same thing. Easier to put out a spark than a wildfire.

I agree with you about Putin. Just not sure how things will happen that makes us actually involve American military personnel. That would escalate things to the Nth degree…..
As I said he’s not gonna stop. Just depends on if or when we act. Had we acted sooner before they invaded, it would have been easier. He’s eventually gonna do something to a NATO nation and then it’s game on. Easier to put out wildfires before they spread.

Let's not forget the real cost
Tragic and, sad. Yet, the civilians aren’t being targeted. Bullshit.

Kill it with fire,Shocked worked in the middle east more than a few times against armor, saw a recent vid from Ukraine where it worked, it's hard to see out of bulletproof glass when it's on fire.

Styrofoam mixed with gas makes a gell that sticks and burns, that's what they are doing from a video i saw

In perhaps the most striking development, Germany announced on Saturday night that it would supply Ukrainian troops with 1,000 anti-tank weapons as well as 500 Stinger missiles from its own military reserves.

The Russian assault on Ukraine marks a turning point,” Germany’s chancellor, Olaf Scholz, said, signalling a major shift in his country’s postwar military stance. “It threatens our entire postwar order. In this situation it is our duty to support Ukraine to the best of our ability in its defence against the invasive army of Vladimir Putin. Germany stands closely on the side of Ukraine.”

There is a lot on the table for many countries and leaders to just jump in including energy supply loss and sky rocking fuel prices supply issues job loses. Here's hoping someone in Rus goverment finally puts bullet in the back of that mother fuckers head

interesting comment from Ukrainian official that echos what a historian just said on Twitter:
“Putin thinks that Ukraine’s government is corrupt, western and irredeemably Russophobic,” the official said. “He understood the Ukrainian people, by contrast, would welcome Russia and intervention. He considers us to be rural Russians.” Putin’s spy agencies had told him what he wanted to hear, he added.
The official continued: “We have always understood Russians better than they understand us.” Other commentators noted that Putin, an amateur historian, had forgotten one of the great lessons of the second world war – that the best Soviet soldiers were Ukrainian.

I wonder what the world will be in 7 days from now.


All these tank columns and convoys destroyed. Where are the dead Russians ? Where are the footprints in the snow ? What in the hell is going on over there. Saw a video with a random helmet with a bullet hole. No body around. White snow. Burning columns but not a damn trace of soldiers. Where did they go? They float ? Do they not walk ?

They could be having lots of desertions, would be easy speaking the same language

Lots of dead people posted on sites with fewer restrictions, whole columns of dead burned bodies next to their vehicles, one i saw was 2 miles long easy, military mixed in with civilian car/trucks, mostly military.

This is looking more and more like the staging for a siege operation. Going door to door in Kiev will inevitably deteriorate into a drawn out guerilla war and I suspect asset and population preservation are high priorities for the invaders. The overwhelming capabilities of the Russians (compared to Ukraine) suggest that they have the resources to handle this invasion exactly the way they want to and these reports of a fumbled first phase are taking for granted that the Russians wanted to keep this war quick and to the point. I think the Russians have designed this campaign to keep it from going ‘unconventional’. There’s a disconnect between the events unfolding and the reporting thereof.

Apparently the Russians have a mobile crematorium from what I have read and, stumbled across.
