Richie Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 I pretty much agree with you however Russia is trying to invade and Ukraine are trying to stop that happening.So to try and stop that happening it makes perfect sense to try and take out the airfields that are being used to help with the invasion or do you think that Ukraine should just lie down and let the Russians roll in ? I totally get you and obviously defending the homeland is the priority and naturally you'd fight back etc.I just think objectively, in terms of preserving lives, there aren't many options, particularly as@jamamafegan says, Putin has indicated he will escalate as far as it takes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that Russia has lost nearly 500 personnel, you fear over what is to come next. I wouldn’t put it past Putin to drop a nuke on them. If Mad Vlad nukes Ukraine then all shit will fly. And the west might reciprocate by hitting the likes of Belarus. Edited February 25, 2022 by Highlandmagyar Tier 3 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It makes sense militarily to do it. I think the Russians on the first day expected to have taken out most of the Ukraine air attack, jets and missiles and the air defence but it’s clear that hasn’t happened and has lead to losses for Russia and attacks on Russia proper. Its not how I saw this developing. Russia, of course, has far more troops, armour and firepower and hasn’t deployed the majority of it yet. Reports now of fighting in Kyiv suburbs with Russian special forces involved. A large part of the media narrative over this has been what will we do to stave off big bad Russia, with very little mention of the fact that Ukraine might want to defend itself a bit...... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just saw on the news there that Ukrainian civilians are being encouraged to make Molotov cocktails and defend their city. Wild. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamamafegan Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 PS the Ukrainian president comes across as a badass with his general demeanour, dress in his olive army shirt. I feel like he won’t let Putin take him alive. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that Russia has lost nearly 500 personnel, you fear over what is to come next. I wouldn’t put it past Putin to drop a nuke on them. Soviet military doctrine to achieve breakout in a European land war called for extensive use of gas or nerve agents. Obviously don't know if this is correct or where I read it but the Sovs never recognised gas as a WMD and there were suspicions the Russians were at least prepared to use it in Chechnya I think. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICTChris Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 Ukrainian MOD has said that territorial defence units are fighting RUssians in the capital. The territorial defence units are armed militias. They have also said that people in Obolon district, where fighting is ongoing, should remain in their houses and "prepare Molotov cocktails". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
