Ukraine Thread

[Kagemusha]

If Brits want to invade Russia with their two operational divisions then go ahead and attack. Maybe the single US Airborne division in Europe can join you guys. I am sure the odd 40 Brigades Russia can field would be shitting themselves just by hearing of such force being deployed against them. Lets be realist here. West is not ready for such war at the moment.

For some reason everyone in this thread saying we should go to war with Russia are either living on a island or a different continent all together. It is kind of funny when people are being worried if Poland will be next, when Poland has a stronger military for a conventional warfare then most of Western European countries, who have dissected their armies into something that has little value in a conflict some of you are talking about.

They are told that because it is a fun thing to think about. Moreover, they act and speak as if Putin has already reconquered most of the lost Warsaw Pact.

I agree Kagemusha. I wouldn't start an offensive, certainly not in our current state of affairs.

I'm highlighting that IMHO, there is no choice here. If we won't go fight Putin, he'll come to you. He's not stopping with getting Warsaw territory back.

You are fully aware that this is impossible.

I am. But it was meant to show how he exercises control over Lugandoneans and this control is complete.

If he ever starts a war, the problem for him will be both conquering anything within the reach and holding the overrun territory. When some people speak of Russian tank wedges in Europe they fail to realize that tanks need refuelling and ammo replenishing, crews need catering. One can't provide that in long-distance operations. Holding the territory is a more problematic issue what with the mentioned logistic problems and the attitude of the hostile populace. So the conclusion is: if Putin will start a war anywhere it will be a war in the territories where Russians live and it will break no sooner than preliminary steps are taken. The latter usually takes time but if one Russia puts its mind into it it will take it 4-5 years.

What the Far West may fear is not a land operation, but missile and aicraft warfare. Or it may side with Putin:
