Russia invades Ukraine *** READ RULES IN POST 6 BEFORE POSTING ***

[nobody]

Putin cannot push the button all by himself. I read recently there are about 11 people who must agree and execute. This Putin War is already unpopular with the Russian people. You think everyone there is going to kill their families and children for that idiot by allowing him to go nuclear ? Establishing a no- fly zone means hitting Russian targets on Russian land - not a good idea. But if Putin keeps pushing by using chemicals or provoking NATO, his bluff will be called. And if it’s the World, or Putin, that punk is going down. And the Russian people will do it. He ain’t going to be allowed to be Hitler 2.0.

I never said he would push it all by himself. He can certainly try to order it though and why I said it was up to those in power to stop him. He has had 20 years to find people possibly loyal enough to him to at least consider following the orders if he has their families under...protection.

I am not saying that is the case. I'm just saying that people should consider actual consequences before just blindly believing in our invincibility and not play Russian roulette with the fate of humanity. Right now, if NATO got involved more tangibly by installing a no fly zone, that might change the way Russians view things and make them start to support Putin. Nothing solidifies a group more than a common enemy.

I agreed a no fly zone would be a mistake.

Russia is going to keep facing enormous losses thanks to brave men like this.

NATO today estimated up to 40,000 Russians soldiers killed, wounded, or taken prisoner in less than a month.

Looks like Putin demoted his boy. If he's even alive. Love watching authoritarian governments (and businesses!) fall to %*#$# when reality exposes the dangers of yes man culture.

The images I’m seeing are just devastation. Mariupol I think is 90% destroyed. Senseless war…

Ukrainian forces now going on the offensive and taking back land according to NBC and Defense Department officials.

Hopefully Russian forces have reached the culminating point. They’ve been in the field for a long time and have to be exhausted and demoralized.

Chechnya was a mess for Russia, but their armed forces were much more cohesive and determined than apparently what's taking place in Ukraine.

Russian ships now being successfully targeted by the Ukrainians.

LOL, I hope no one actually believes this.

Word is the Ukrainian's are pushing the Russian forces away from Kyiv, congratulations. Let's hope the Russian forces aren't backing up knowing a tactical nuke is on it's way. Hopefully this war comes to a end soon.

I read sources from all sides of the political spectrum and when I run across articles I think may be interesting to some members here, I post them.

I do not take politics or viewpoints into consideration. I will share good and interesting articles even when they differ from my own opinions because I believe people should have the right to decide for themselves what is or is not valid news.

In the end, if you do not like a source, simply do not read it!

A very good (and recent article) on the situation both militarily and politically between Ukraine and Russia...

Some sad truth in this
