"oo er" - says Putin. "I'm frightened".
What did Chairman Mao call the US (and thus NATO)? Paper Tigers and we (UK) were their running dogs.

Defcon Warning site clarifies U.S troop deployment:
Quote:
There is currently no movement by the United States to sent troops to defend Ukraine from invasion. Any suggested troop movement is to bolster allies in the region. Though it is unlikely that Russia will perceive the difference.

Where in the my post did I complain that nobody was discussing Syria?
Eastern Ukraine is very much part of this topic. I mentioned Syria as a comparison of attitudes towards air attacks on rebels and civilians.

A country invading another country is a different matter than a sovereign nation defending itself from terrorists and insurgents.
If you felt that Trump should not have bombed Syria in 2019 then you should have started a thread on it. Whatever the wrongs and rights of the Syrian bombing, it is not on the same scale as invading and occupying another country.

Enough, stop telling other people what topics they should create and get back to the topic.

Re: Russia & Ukraine invasion threat (Defcon 4)
It's a small world.
Our plumbing job today was done by a young guy who left Crimea after the Russian takeover. His family was so afraid that Ukraine was next on the list, that they claimed asylum here.
He is not at all trusting of Putin.

BREAKING: Defcon warning system obtains tactical information of location of Russian battalion assets which gives rise to believe Russia aims to annex all of Ukraine rather than part of it:

Re: Russia & Ukraine invasion threat (Defcon 4)
Ukraine has a 250,000 strong army (+ a reasonable sized airforce).
It seems somewhat unlikely they will just let Russia waltz in and take over.
If we know where the Russian forces are, then they must, and should (will) be preparing for them.

Re: Russia & Ukraine invasion threat (Defcon 4)
They will no doubt be receiving intel from us and America. I said earlier in the thread Ukraine has a sizable military presence, one to be proud of, but is almost certainly dwarfed by Russia's, it ain't going to be easy.

Re: Russia & Ukraine invasion threat (Defcon 4)
I think we should reform the Home Guard and put them into the Ukraine.. Lots of Capt. Mainwarings about these days. Ukraine must have a Novelty Rock Emporium that they can guard ? I'm up for it, could do with a holiday.

Re: Russia & Ukraine invasion threat (Defcon 4)
Reports from sky news suggest Russia likley to invade in February.
Russia might be just playing the same tactics NK did when they wanted attention.
