Another ship sunk yesterday or the day before. Supposedly it was the most modern ship in the Black Sea fleet.
This is concerning, worries me that Russia is going to bomb the shit out of them. Russian occupiers withdraw most troops from Mariupol – Pentagon https://www.yahoo.com/news/russian-occupiers-withdraw-most-troops-095800630.html
Russia is going to try and bomb the whole country like that now. The question is, how long can they do that? And can the Ukrainians hold out that long?
The US is giving them (Ukraine) 155 Howitzers that have 20 mile range. Also we are showing them how to use them. Ground to air missiles for protection from the air and drones to attack their positions. Any weapons and troops that can hit a Ukrainian target will also be in range and at risk.
It still seems so ridiculous to me that we are 1) giving them weapons 2) money 3) intel 4) strategy 5) education but “we” aren’t at war. So Russia wont use nukes for all of that but if we use boots on the ground they would?
Russia still thinks they can win. Let them get sick of war and sanctions until they just want rid of Putin. Then they can take him out. They won't use nukes now because they know we can ratchet things WAY up. To the point that nukes are the only way they could compete. We don't put them on that situation this way.
If we think they won’t use Nukes we need to end this shit now. People are dying. There will be nothing left. There won’t be anything for them to come back to in Ukraine.
The only way they use nukes on anybody outside the Ukraine is if we push too hard. I could see them MAYBE getting desperate enough to use tactical nukes to make a point in Ukraine, but that would be very localized damage. But almost surely not. They gain no tactical advantage. There is no way they launch any Big Boys if they don't run up against NATO troops. It's the difference between throwing a frog in hot water or letting it sit in slowly warming water until it's too weak to get out.
It seems like Russia is getting pushed back. Their military is really looking like a joke. looks like the citizens in Maripol that were stranded in the steel mill hve finally been freed. The Russians must have finally realized it was suicide to try and get them.
Everything surrounding this shit is fucked up. Unfortuneately this is ready made "Russophobia" propaganda for Russian state television.
