They say this every year. If Russia really wanted take the eastern part of it, they would have already done that. But they're playing their game with the rebels/tourists there. Good way to keep Nato out of Ukraine. No europoor wants to be dragged into a shitty conflict

We'll work with Congress, making sure that we continue to provide security assistance that Ukraine needs, including lethal defensive weapons to defend against any Russian aggression.

Saying "Russia's really gonna do it this time" is just to provide justification to send Ukraine more arms and advisors.

As the US should've been doing when the paratroopers took that airport in Odessa.

I'm still pissed we didn't intervene as r-slurred as it would have been. I wanted to fight Russians instead of sand people for a change. Peer adversary conflict is the real deal, no holds barred. Solid chance I'd be dead from airburst artillery or a guided bomb though lol.

Calling Russia a peer at best is dubious. America has vastly superior conventional forces.

With the exception of China, it's as close to peer as any adversary nation. I agree about the disparity, but Russia certainly has a local advantage on the mass of forces they can quickly bring to the fight. US strength (especially in armor) in Europe is a shadow of what it was during the Cold War. DEFENDER Europe 20 brought a lot of the current limitations to light, and without REFORGER, bringing significant heavy equipment to Europe would take a costly amount of time. That said, Russia doesn't have the Warsaw Pact anymore, but most NATO allies also lack the munition stores to sustain a conventional war. I'm very confident in the ability of the US to seize control of the air. I'd bet a good deal of money that Russia's vaunted IADS would fail to live up to its claimed capabilities, and their aircraft and a2a weapons are significantly outclassed.

I mean if the question is can Russia push into the baltics, sure. But once America mobilized and responded Russia stands no chance of holding a single piece of land outside of nukes.

This isn't even getting into the massive losses they'd take from air strikes before the US even showed up.

Like I'm pretty sure even the Europeans could establish air superiority over Russia.

I only started thinking there was a good chance they'd invade in early Jan 2022, and even then I didn't bet on it. I also continually underestimated the Ukrainians up to the September counteroffensive. I went digging through my Reddit comments from Jan and Feb a couple days ago and had some laughs.

Hey now, the Biden administration will also get to act like they actually stood up to putin and claim it as a diplomatic victory.

Nothing like this has happened before.

Russia has mobilized to a much larger scale and is trying to stage a false flag.
