    Do you have a lock on your front door? A burglar alarm? If so, you are clearly a threat to your neighbors and they have the right to kill your family and burn down your house. :dry:

    If that is the best argument Putin can come up with, you gotta wonder if he is going senile on top of everything else.

    Yes i'm quite aware of what a Javelin is.
    Not so sure i agree with you on Russian tanks. If they are T-90's then maybe? If they are T-14 Armada's then probably not.

    Sorry man, most people have no idea about this kind of thing. The number of people who think anything with treads is a “tank” is maddening.

    They call it the Dragon. Thermobaric Rockets. This weapon isn't great against anything other than civilians for the most part but it will destroy cities for sure.

    Some think tracked Howitzers are tanks. Huge difference.

    Yup. An SPG is most definitely not a tank.

    Belarus is getting sanctions placed on them too? Russia wouldn’t have been able to set up shop in the north without their help. They need to get fucked

    Sure seems that way. He has all but announced his intention to attack Finland and Sweden.

    He thought he would take Ukraine easily

    Ukraine is putting up a hell of a fight

    Now he is looking like an idiot

    He can't pull his troops out now because he would look even weaker

    The US and Europe are sending Russia back to the dark ages with sanctions including cutting Russia's banks off from SWIFT.

    We have heavily bolstered our presence along the borders in NATO countries to protect those countries.

    We along with other European countries are continuing to send Ukraine weapons.

    The Russians are threatening to pull out of the nuclear arms treaty they have with us (not that they are obeying it anyway), let the ISS drop on Europe or the US, among other things.

    Russia is being backed into a corner, but they have China to rely on.

    Tensions are rising across the world over this.

    Putin may have just intended for a quick takeover of Ukraine, but started a global conflict. How far that goes, we will see.
