Ukraine might have the best army in Europe. So much dedication, courage, discipline and precision.

Fact. On Operation Z, Russia is using a fraction of its military potential, resources and state of the art weapons.“Today we hear that they want to defeat us on the battlefield, well, what can I say, let them try. We have heard many times that the West wants to fight us to the last Ukrainian – this is a tragedy for the Ukrainian people. But it looks like it’s all coming to this. But everyone should know that, by and large, we haven’t really started anything yet.”
As in the pain dial will be ratcheted up, slowly but surely, on all fronts.“We do not refuse peace negotiations, but those who refuse should know that the longer it drags, the more difficult it will be for them to negotiate with us.”
Meet the trifecta“They should have understood that they have already lost from the very beginning of our special military operation, because its beginning means the beginning of a radical breakdown of the World Order in the American way. This is the beginning of the transition from liberal-globalist American egocentrism to a truly multipolar world – a world based not on selfish rules invented by someone for themselves, behind which there is nothing but the desire for hegemony, not on hypocritical double-standards, but on international law, on the true sovereignty of peoples and civilizations, on their will to live their historical destiny, their values and traditions and build cooperation on the basis of democracy, justice and equality. And we must understand that this process can no longer be stopped.”
Geez, a lot of words to say nothing. The entire piece is just a recititation of Putin's speech with some NATO bashing and Russia cheerleading thrown in.Damn, this is really, really stupid. I honestly can't believe you are such a moron, that you are unaware of how dumb this is.
Russia and China Haven’t Even Started to Ratchet Up the Pain Dial

I'm not really interesting in debating hypotheticals with either you or Litwin.Geez, a lot of words to say nothing. The entire piece is just a recititation of Putin's speech with some NATO bashing and Russia cheerleading thrown in.
"Pepe" is full of shit.
"Putin said this. Then he said this, etc". Yeah, Pepe, we read Putin's speech...
Litwin is not far off, Ukraine's army has shown a great deal of skill and adaptation. I can't think of any other army in Europe that could do what they've done with what they had to work with. They are turning empty cans from energy drinks into drone dropped grenades and using them effectively- that's pretty impressive.
If "we ain't seen nothing yet", a simple question would be "then when will we see it?"
Guess what? We won't. We're seeing it. This is what military effectiveness really looks like, when your combat power is nothing but leftover stockpiles of artillery shells from decades ago, and the military is hollowed out by an equal number of years of theft and corruption.
NATO can stop Putin's Imperial ambitions in Ukraine now, or in the Balts later. It's a lot easier to do it now, and it's the right thing to do. If Russia is allowed to keep any part of Ukraine, they will come back later for another bite at the apple- and next time they won't be in the decrepit condition they are in now.
Putin intends to re-establish his "Novorossiya". Russia without Ukraine is a country. Russia with Ukraine is an empire. If the idea is to avoid WW3, the best way to accomplish that is to inflict a decisive defeat on Russia in Ukraine.

Um, Russia invaded on the 24th. I joined on the 18th. Do you think I had advance knowledge?The fact that you, as a member, just showed up on this forum in Feb. of this year, after war broke out, to spread your propaganda, and only on this issue? Given you have very little known forum legitimacy on this issue, or any other, and every intelligent forum member knows it.
I will respond directly to this. If Russia is permitted to retain parts of Ukraine, Putin will stop the war and pretend it's all over. Sanctions will end, and Russia will rebuild it's military. But this time, the money won't get diverted to mega-yachts and dachas and European luxury properties.These two statements? Contradict each other. Either there is dangerous, and advanced combat power, which can threaten the rest of Europe, as Escobar wrote. . . or the military is "hollowed out." You can't have it both ways, sorry. You contradict yourself, in your same post, this is the sign of an equivocator, and a liar. A propagandist.
Ukraine had built up it's forces, somewhere near a quarter million, ready to invade the Donbas in January.Do you think I had advance knowledge?
The IIIS put Ukraine's active duty personnel at 209K in December 2021, and Russia's at 900K. Ukraine didn't mobilize until after Feb 24.Ukraine had built up it's forces, somewhere near a quarter million, ready to invade the Donbas in January.
Anyone that paid attention to what was going on, knew why Russian was countering with a build-up with its own.
Had you followed the Donbas conflict from the very beginning and read at least once the Minsk agreements, you would know that Russia violated them almost at once, by supporting statelets of their proxies in the Donbas and capturing Debaltsevo in February 2015.Ukraine had built up it's forces, somewhere near a quarter million, ready to invade the Donbas in January.

If course you knew, as well as NATO and we knew, our side provoked the Russians invasion by declining a peaceful settlement or negotiating a way out, they wanted Russia to invade. The whole war has been staged from the start.
