I would have said no a few days ago. But things seems to be escalating everywhere.

Prepared and trained.
My list is long and purposeful.

I told you there is no political solution.
Buckle up buck-a-roo.

I don't think so. I think the West's financial attack on Putin brings him to the bargaining table. While China maybe felt emboldened a few days ago, I think they justifiably harbor second thoughts now, especially with the specter that with Taiwan, there is a very real threat of direct US intervention.

I remember in the 90s, China was lobbing missiles over Taiwan, and president Billy Jeff sent the on-duty carrier strike group in the Persian Gulf to Taiwan immediately. It should not come as a surprise to any observer that US military intervention is not off the table like it was with Ukraine. The Biden administration has repeatedly signaled its willingness to fight over the island.

Depends how Putin reacts to his catastrophic invasion. It's a complete failure to this point and mud season is starting. He is going to fuck around and lose Crimea at this point, much less occupied Donbass.

His Chechnyans got smoked his conscripts are giving up his tanks are running out of fuel because they've managed to capture nothing with em.

Putin doesn't have an american president helping him this time either, trump is out, he is on his own.

Crimea is home of the black sea fleet. He's going to throw nukes around before losing it. What part do you not understand?

Fat lot of good having the Black Sea fleet is when you can't take it anywhere. If you think Putin is gonna launch nukes over it, you're dumb.

by this standard, obama and biden greatly helped putin in 2014 with the annexation of Crimea

were there any other invasions after that one that took place before this year?

Trained in what exactly

Survival and combat mainly.
But have knowledge, skills and talents in a large number of areas.
Anything you want to know?

People like skinned and you seem to parrot the stuff they hear on MSM, so who is dumb here

Crimea and the black sea fleet are the very reason the conflict started in 2014. Ukraine is lucky Putin didn't invade like he is doing now, it gave them 8 years to prepare for the next round which is why they can resist.

However it's only what, day 5? They haven't thrown in their full force even and now everyone seem to think this is it for Russia, they're beaten which is incredibly shortsighted.

It's way too early to suggest they've lost and Putin giving up Crimea aint gonna happen. It's going to be all out war before that happens.
