Hands off Ukraine! Feet too
On BY/UA border, Belarus side. Trying to track Russian troops crossing the border and inform bros to South. Cat-and-mouse with BY road and border police.

Rememeber Hwancheon dam, May 1951? Last aerial torpedoes use in battle, just to break the dam's gates. Or RAF No 617 squadron bomb success?
Russia tried to do the same by missile strike on gates of Kyiv dam, to flood the capital of Ukraine. One missile shoot down, one missed closely.
A crime against humanity, right?

Interesting read from Foreign Affairs.

The Coming Ukrainian Insurgency
Russia's invasion could unleash forces the Kremlin can't control.
Got to hand it to that President Zelensky, he has some massive balls.

Russians want de-Nazi-fication of Ukraine. Anti-Nazi war, so to speak. Heard that? Well, little fact: I'm a Jew. A fact slightly bigger: President Zelenskiy is Jew.
I told you: it is very, very bad situation in Russia with history as such.

Our antipathy is mutual? What have I done to deserve this?? I’m not sure I understand your question.

Well, I know you're active duty and even having nothing personal you may be obliged to demonstrate hostility, which is understandable. I used to show the harsh reactions to your posts, suspecting you may see it as just trolling
But it doesn't matter for now.
Look, my clean question is: how close Russians are to a real nuke war start, in your opinion? Unidentified drone would bomb Russian railway station full of troops, for example - will it lead to nuke alert dispatch to UN send by Russians?

I have no idea, but I do know they have certain red lines (as does the US), and I'm confident that those in the Kremlin and WH both understand what those are.

Thanks. Yet it seems to me that Putin meant something different when warned the world against interference in this "operation" on Ukraine. Not the nuke war, at least not in the traditional style of Carribbean Crisis. This tricky motherfucker has something else in the sleeve.
Interesting that those scholars with a solid grounding in history seem to have been more accurate than other analysts who were more focused on government, ie Zeihan was closer to the mark than Kori Schake, Niall Ferguson closer than Ian Bremmer.
On GPS: Will Russia invade Ukraine in 2022? | CNN
The Eurasia Group's Ian Bremmer and the Hoover Institution's Niall Ferguson debate the likelihood of escalated Russian military action in Ukraine this year.
I don’t think he does. This whole thing is fairly similar to the Russia-Georgia conflict from 2008, just on a grander scale. I think that one was what, two weeks long and then a ceasefire was brokered?). I really do think he was overestimating Russian capabilities and and was hoping for a fast finish.
The AP is reporting they had to commit much more of their support/logistics elements than initially planned and are quickly running out of the supplies needed to sustain the fight. Unless Putin has gone nuts (which is an actual possibility), I don’t think he has much in reserve.
2 things that I am watching concerning solidarity from the Western allies:
1). Energy flows from Russia to Germany, Hungary and a few other nations that are extremely dependent on Russia
2). Will Turkey close the Bosphorus Strait into the Black Sea?
Turkey says cannot stop Russian warships accessing Black Sea
Ukraine has appealed to Turkey to block Russian warships from passing through straits which lead to the Black Sea.
