I hope there’s some way out but it looks like the tiny poisoning kleptomaniac is going to do it. That’s very, very bad.

The one Russian misstep os they’re showing the world their military capability in plain sight. And it’s not all that powerful. Wondering if they meant to show their weaknesses?

I think the thought was Ukraine govt would have backed down / collapsed by now - and now that he realizes they're not going to he feels like he can't back down.

Yeah, but he says they’re not going to invade. Right.

so maybe now they believe that V.P. is going to do exactly what he said he was going to do if his “bullying demands” were not met.

The base you’re showing is where the white dot is. Less than 50 miles from Ukraine border and almost 400 miles from Kyiv, Ukraine.

Sebastopol is in Ukraine. It’s just occupied by Russian forces.

So does Russia have the same air capabilities as the west, it seems like the West starts w/ massive air campaigns to soften everything up, then come in on the ground, Russia just seems like it’s just going to roll right in with a massive force.

@KJ46838999

The west hasn’t fought wars on its own border, Russia already has staging points and supply lines right on the soon to be frontline - no doubt they will use their air capabilities but they have the advantage of following up immediately with overwhelming ground forces

Russia seems to be ready to invade, so why would Putin say he’s not planning to invade? I’m so confused

Putin is a KGB.

Don't you think that may provoke them to go through with their threat? Whereas at this moment they haven't.

This isn't the time to armchair warrior like an abstract thing, this is a threat like nothing Europe has seen since 1939, murderous violence to be unleashed by a dictator on 44m people.. It's time to simply #StandWithUkraine

Only chance Ukraine has is to draw them in close in urban warfare. Not going to stop the initial advance. Better to pull back equipment to protect it then unleash everything in the cities.
