I hope this thread gets back more to military analysis. We're better at that.

Link to a podcast about Ukraine's former possession of nukes. I don't know enough about the subject to review the right and wrong in the podcast. Deterrence in Ukraine (armscontrolwonk.com)

Take it outside guys.

Well, didn't the Mafia realize eventually they could make more money in Las Vegas if they obeyed the law? Plus it was a lot safer that way.

I would hope that happens as well, but I no idea of how it could realistically come about.

Putin is hardly doing what he wishes, and more Russians are dying than Ukrainians.

For anyone but Charles, impossible. P.S. answering Machor.

And if it's true, did they lie to him to set him up for a fall?

No one expects the Spanish Instalanza.

Kraft, your right, some will buy whatever Putin tells them, but not all. I'm hoping (perhaps naively) that the war will end soon by Putin stepping down because of "health" reasons.

I'm thinking perhaps the rallying points Putin would get internally from the transfer-he's already been pushing the NATO is plotting to get Russia theme for years to his people- might outweigh the benefit the of the MiGs.

I think the Ukrainian Armed forces have shown us they have been well prepared, so I have no reason to suppose they wouldn't be prepared for chemical use. At this point, given how introducing chemicals effects command and control, I would think it would hurt the Russian forces more than Ukraine's.

Nope, Ireland is not part of NATO

Stuffed with some other stuff too, but mostly informative.

Turkey doesn't need assistance to keep Russia from forcing the straits.

Did he really say he was interested?

I would like to ask though, if you have already posted on your opinion on what NATO/The West should do/ Should have done please refrain from constantly doing so, unless their is a change in the situation. It is getting somewhat spammy Thanks!

I saw on another forum a post that giving Ukraine s300 SAMs would be useful as they are trained on them, but another poster said of all NATO countries only Turkey still has them. Accurate? Thanks

I took this as Steve making a joke. Am I wrong?

Or would it all be pure conjecture to relate today's events back 40 years?

(Actually that's Elvis Costello)

Well lets not count our chickens just yet. Things can still turn out to be extremely ugly. I suppose they already are, but you get my drift.

Well remember the moon landings were faked, 9/11 was an inside job, and Elvis is still alive and working for Battlefront now, so how can we truly know World War Two really wasn't fictional as well?
