He just tries to dodge new sanctions. That would also benefit Putin. He's a partner in crime, no matter whether he invades or not.

In the same statement he also denies that Russian forces are attacking Ukraine from Belarusian territory, so obviously he cannot be taken seriously.

Mft004 Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 2 hours ago, GAZ NZ said: So why did Russia go this hard out and lose everything? The whole world is against it Just to invade Ukraine Doesn't make sense If Russia is that screwed and Putins losing it what's stopping them from nuking Nato/US? It's really concerning Some of the world isn't against it. Some of the older folks faintly remember the missile crisis with Cuba '62, where team B's weaponry was parked in team A's backyard. The missiles weren't ready at the time but the risk of that threat proximity was too great and the US got tough - they had to. Some people in the world, including folks in the US, see this current situation in the same light; the Ukraine is Russia's backyard and within the past year NATO inclusion has been Ok'd by the US administration. Now if, after Ukraine's been split in two, Putin moves on the Western portion, that's no longer a backyard issue and then you might see more people being willing to vote for a foreign war. Right now, not so much. Obviously the Western portion could subsequently be invited to join NATO; that could be the crux of complication in the next few weeks, there are arguments both sides about whether that's a good thing to do. Won't be a pleasant task for the peacemakers but they could make it work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc844 Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 Unverified reports of russia using thermobaric bombs, how will this change the political landscape seeing as how they are against the Geneva convention. Yes I know russia is not a signatory, but NATO is and I think we may see NATO's stance becoming even firmer with more pro-active action, otherwise how far do we let Putin go. He said he wouldnt bomb indiscriminately, binned that cause the going got tough, threatened nukes, now just to test the waters again he authorises the use of thermobarics. At some point NATO has to give him and russian forces a severe bloody nose, enough is enough, no more lines will be crossed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't get this - it's ok for Russia to mess with Ukraine ( occupy, dismember, whatever ) because "it's their backyard" ? By that logic, Canada should just take Alaska - it's much more their backyard than the USA's... Plus any NATO missiles in Latvia/Estonia are practically the same distance from Moscow as a missile in Ukraine, so why isn't that a problem ? It couldn't possibly be because Putin can't attack them owing to the defensive nature of NATO ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed, Putin would not attack Ukraine if it was currently in NATO, much like the USA would have had to have thought twice about attacking Cuba if Cuba was part of the Warsaw Pact. As to Canada and Alaska, they are thankfully not nuclear opponents. We have enough trouble in the world without that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
