Those particular regions were Ukraine's industrial "powerhouse". They are also rich with untapped oil and gas fields. No wonder Zelensky won't give up. Now Putin's game will be to take Odessa to turn Ukraine into a land locked country which basically kills the whole economy
- egfx 4y agoThey’ll never take Odessa.
- ugjka 4y agoI hope so, but remember that chemical and tactical nuclear weapons still haven't been used...
- abudabi123 4y agoWould the mirror image of U.S.'s Curtis LeMay in Russia choose to bomb to the West or East of the dividing line in the mind of James Baker when Michael Gorbachev's Soviet Union came to an historic end? And? France takes revenge...
- anonAndOn 4y agoThe world's largest military is prepared to neutralize all nuclear threats as soon as the first bomb goes off. It's not hyperbole to suggest that much of the western Russian military infrastructure (Army, Navy and AF) would be eliminated within days. Remember, NATO is only giving UA the small weapons and Russia can't even defend against those.
- blub 4y agoYours reads like a comment that even the NATO propaganda department would be too embarrassed to attach their name to. In a nuclear conflict between the US and Russia, Europe would be wiped out. UK, France, Germany, Italy and other countries hosting nuclear weapons will be certainly annihilated. Poland, the Baltics, Finland, Romania, etc will probably be nuked out of spite and whatever’s left will wither under a radioactive cloud. Even the US “win” means being hit by hundreds of nuclear weapons. Those claiming that nuclear war can be won are just suicidal in a very contorted way.
- apostacy 4y ago> The world's largest military is prepared to neutralize all nuclear threats as soon as the first bomb goes off. So in other words, you are rooting for WWIII to start. Does anyone seriously think that NATO would be able to completely neutralize Russia's nuclear capability before they get a single ICBM launched? Warmongers in the Pentagon have been trying to start a "winnable" nuclear war since the 1960s. Perhaps we can minimize casualties to only a few tens of millions on our side, if we are lucky. London, New York and Paris have multiple ballistic missiles aimed at them from different sites (that we even know about). Are you so confident that every single missile could be intercepted? Is Ukraine worth the risk? Russia has been preparing for this for a very long time. Even if we shoot down every one of their bombers and nuke every one of their silos, they have a fleet of nuclear submarines waiting to destroy our population centers. Only a complete psychopath would continue to escalate things at this point.
- confidantlake 4y agoSo you are blaming "warmongers in the Pentagon" for Russia theoretically dropping the first nuke? Wouldn't warmongers in the Kremlin be the responsible party?
- foverzar 4y agoWhy do you imply that it is a some discrete "just for lulz" action, rather than a continued mutual process?
- _kbh_ 4y ago> London, New York and Paris have multiple ballistic missiles aimed at them from different sites (that we even know about). Are you so confident that every single missile could be intercepted? Is Ukraine worth the risk? If the world lets Russia get away with using a nuke with no serious repercussions it will likely lead to a serious increase in nuclear proliferation and destabilise the world. Because if Russia can nuke Ukraine with no consequences why can’t other nuclear powers? Because of this the best and most stabilising thing that can happen if Russia uses a nuke is a devastating and overwhelming response that shows the world what happens if you nuke another country.
- squishy47 4y agoAgreed, i'd be surprised if they manage to hold on of any of the land they've taken so far. never mind take Odessa.
- O__________O 4y agoAgree, not only that, but Belarus’ leader at one point made a nationally televised presentation, which appeared to show plans to invade Moldova; possible their plans have changed, it was disinformation, etc. Google to find examples of the map and related press coverage: https://www.google.com/search?q=belarus+moldova+map+invasion https://www.google.com/search?q=belarus+moldova+map+invasion
- ugjka 4y agoTransnistria will welcome Russians with open arms and Moldavians have no army basically
- deleted 4y ago[deleted]
- heneryville 4y agoThis claim sounds vaguely familiar...
- ugjka 4y agoYou just don't know history... Transnistria exists because Moldova didn't have and still have no resources to fight off Russian separatists in their own country.
- marshray 4y agoLol, Russia has a couple thousand soldiers in Moldova who haven't received a single planeload of resupply in years. If they ever actually tried to threaten they would find Moldovan, Ukranian, and/or NATO forces responding very quickly. We'll get around to kicking them out eventually.
- marshray 4y ago"They are also rich with untapped oil and gas fields. No wonder Zelensky won't give up." Alaska is also rich with untapped oil and gas fields. No wonder Biden won't give it up.
- deleted 4y ago[deleted]
- the_only_law 4y agoWait who’s attacking Alaska?
- marshray 4y agoRussian parliament (Duma) members have openly proposed it on official state television.
- the_only_law 4y agoThat would be an interesting suicide.
- avmich 4y agoBoth true. I guess?..
