Tropposurfer Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 (edited) I wonder could it be done (as it was in Spain in 1936) that freedom fighters from any nation could form a volunteer air force, be supplied with F35's, Tornadoes, drones and the like, and take the fight to the Russians in a far more substantial way as an openly declared, named, independent volunteer force? A for threatening escalating for any NATO or other nation west of Ukraine supplying air bases, fuel and ground crews to any Ukrainian flyers up your Putin!

While Russia has my back up, at age 75, without any military training? Cannon fodder or just get in the way and take needed resources. Only function could be in humanitarian assistance but better to vocally support allied nations sending military/humanitarian support for the Ukrainian citizens. Putin has royally screwed up!!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post animalmagic Posted March 7, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted March 7, 2022 Remarkable irony for Russia to quote International Humanitarian Law when it is engaged in an unprovoked invasion of a sovereign democratic nation and randomly targeting civilians.

Walker88 Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 I see no reason why russians who support this horrific invasion, whether they be diplomats or private citizens, should feel safe anywhere. They are enemy combatants and should be dealt with as such. Folks can go to Ukraine to face the invaders there, or deal with any russian anywhere who supports the psychopath putin. No refuge for the guilty. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walker88 Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 The likelihood this ends with the use of nukes increases by the day. patience is wearing thin on the side of Europe and NATO, and putin is backed into a corner, albeit 100% of his own creation. Odds that he uses nukes---perhaps against Poland, perhaps against Washington---are rising. He is a coward (note his 10 meter tables), but he is irrational. At the first sign he will use nukes, russia will cease to exist. Hope for the best, but prepare for the worst. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The risk of the use of nukes increases by the day, so like it or not, the war is likely to affect you. This is a pivotal point in history, and just as WWII required extremely harsh measures to eradicate the threat, it is quite likely harsh measures will be required again. The difference, sadly, is that the world is full of nukes now. The intel on putin's plans was spot on. Unfortunately, the same intel suggests putin is considering the use of nukes. Again, one has to hope that someone like Naryshkin will do the needful before it is too late. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No refuge for the guilty. In the past I have read your erudite and well thought out posts and generally agreed with them. In this instance I think you are totally wrong to suggest people should attack Russians wherever they are. Even if they support the invasion it is still unsure if that support is based on full understanding of the facts of what is happening or simply due to the propaganda that has been their only information source. You are trying to incite hatred towards a group of people who may only be guilty by association or where they were born. An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth only results in everybody becoming blind and starving. I do agree that Putin may resort to a nuclear strike when cornered but it would seem highly illogical to attack the US in the knowledge that they have almost parity in number of nukes but probably greater effectiveness in terms of accuracy and delivery. Poland is possible but his rhetoric so far has been to blame the British Foreign Secretary and PM for their actions in support of Ukraine and the imposition of sanctions; which he has already claimed is a declaration of war.

"Cornered" would be holed up in the bunker under the Kremlin, while Russian troops are retreating in haste, in the face of a deeply penetrating advance, into Russian sovereign territory, by the forces of the free world. Even then it would be a "maybe". It doesn't mean booted out of Ukraine. Hit him now, hit him hard. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
