NATO Declares Russia an Enemy - Your take.
- Thread starter xltn
- Start date
Things appear to be heating up in Ukraine with a cyber attack against the Ukrainian government and US claims that Russia may launch a 'false flag' attack as an excuse to attack on Ukraine.
Next thing you know Putin will be using his T-90 “All Terrain Food for the Starving Villagers Delivery Systems” to support his BPM (Bring More Pacifists) push in an effort to liberate the Ukraine from the tyranny of deciding their own fate. I smell a peace prize.

Props if you get it’s reference in literature
Am I just buying into my own interpretation or is this pretty clear what Putin is up to? He either wants and excuse to attack now-ish or a guarantee that he can get away with it when he attacks later at his leisure. We sure can't get mad when he takes what is obviously Russian and we didn't have anyone there anyway so mind out own business, right?
They'll simply become Russian developers instead of Ukrainian developers.

I would not discredit the lessons that Russia itself learned in their invasion of Georgia and even earlier in Chechnya, I think we too often discredit the Russians and how good they can be at certain things. And it is not like they need to be the absolute best army to roll across the steppes against the Ukrainian armed forces.
