As if it was not before …

I'm afraid that russia and china have already made their decision to divide the world into hostile camps. Those camps are the countries that believe in democracy (with all its many imperfections) is the right way forward, and the countries that believe the world should move backwards to a might is right approach. Forget all of the phony moral relativism- this the essential conflict civilisation must win.

Yes, I agree … both have proven to be our "enemies" … again …

This time… frontal enemies…

You do realise this is pro-Russian propaganda?
He starts by accepting that an ammo depot claimed to have been destroyed by Ukraine was actually a saltpeter warehouse as claimed by Russia.
video – the Russian footage looks like secondary damage not big enough to be the explosion shown.
He then tells us what HQ has been destroyed by Russia & what Ukrainian units have been put out of action. He uses other peoples maps and then tells us they have Ukrainian units marked in the wrong place because the Russians say they are elsewhere.
Then it is basically "Russia is winning".
Apparently there were no other Himars strikes – no mention.
One of the worst.

Is a US-Russia War Becoming Inevitable?

link

Armand

I don't think a US and Russian WWIII is inevitable. If Putin is foolish enough to attack a member of NATO, all Hell will break loss, without WMDs. If not, the USA is far from ready for a major war with Russia or the PRC/CCP.

The US alone sending troops to fight Putin in the Ukraine is a recipe for disaster. Especially with the USA's weak leadership, etc. That is a factor that added to the reasons why Putin invaded the Ukraine. He is a predator … he senses weakness and takes advantage of it.

Russian President Putin Says The Current World Order Is Coming To An End

Well, if he means Russia will become less of a play worldwide, then yes …

The USA will rebound if it is not totally destroyed by woke, CRT, gender studies, Green etc. supporters within the next 2 years. I think the Cav is coming … it just ain't here yet …

Cheer up, Legion! I think you will get your wish. And we are not going to end up rad left either. But don't be surprised if some of the CAV don't know their jobs…

Cheer up, Legion! I think you will get your wish.

Yes, yes I think so.

And we are not going to end up rad left either.

There is no way those type could stay in power in the USA. Those types are e.g. 30 Million vs the middle of the USA is 300 Million.

But don't be surprised if some of the CAV don't know their jobs…

The CAV has the blueprint for success. Based on previous successes before the current leadership. As IMO they Don't know their jobs at all. They ideologues not leaders.

If the CAV only starts making us energy independent again. We know how to do that. We'll be light years ahead of where we are now.

The border needs to be really closed as was planned before the current leadership took charge. The Wall completion is the start. Have the CPB, ICE, LEOs, etc. be allowed to do their jobs. Not nursemaiding illegal aliens. But as my 1SG would say, "Kick and take names!".

Closing the border to everyone, until things get stabilized which may take years.

Round up all/as many the illegal aliens the current leadership has released on US cities & towns.

Incarcerate the criminals e.g. drug runners, human traffickers, rapists, murderers, gangbangers, terrorists, etc. Gitmo is nice this time of year. Stop catch & release.

Ship the other illegal aliens back to where they came from. Only those that qualify can stay. And start the process to becoming an American. This may take time. So do what we do with criminal as illegally crossing the is a crime. The rest must try to enter the US legally. Or go somewhere else. Note how the nation Hungary does this.

Unaccompanied minors can be adopted by their new family or relatives and can start them to become legal and Americans.

Massively Fund LEOs at all levels to take back the streets in many cities and towns. Or at least regain some level of control. Investigate DAs, etc., that keep putting criminals back on the streets.

Take back America from the left wing, woke, SJW, socialists, Green Cultists, followers of CRT/1619, etc. They are the in the minority. The dog has to start wagging the tail again … not what we see today.

If this plan perfect ? No but it is far, far better than the circus the USA finds itself in currently. With poor ideological leadership, etc., etc.

While we may not agree on all details Legion we do agree that its time to do something. The left wing is in the minority, so is the right. But we are going nowhere in too many ways.

We need to take action on the border and stabilize it. I await the new plan, just don't think the news guys will have the skills. Once they stop yelling and have to go to work their track record is a little thin. Their trickle of legislation is mostly about money and culture warfare.

While we may not agree on all details Legion we do agree that its time to do something.

Of course the USA & the world can't let this continue.

The left wing is in the minority,

The Faaar left wing progressives open border Green socialist are.

so is the right.

The very Faaar right are a minority. But no where as vocal as the very far left progressives. FWIW I'm a middle of the road GOP conservative with Right leanings.

But we are going nowhere in too many ways.

As I said I believe there is the plan to at least stabilize the situation.

The current leadership is responsible for many of the problems starting on Day 1. Poor leadership dominated ideologs, that have no idea what is really going on. But yet keep pushing an agenda with a figure head in charge who should have been put out to pasture long ago.

Well if they want to "win" they have to be on the offensive. If Ukrainians set up good enough defenses, etc. this could be in their advantage. E.g. the Ardennes Offensive, Winter of '44-'45.

My $ is on the Ukraine … again … But they have to attrite the Russian forces significantly. As I don't think the Russian's tactical expertise has improved much. They depend totally on FA's firepower and not their maneuver forces. In combined arms modern mobile maneuver warfare.

Go to see the Stormer on the ground in the Ukraine.

I'm sure the Poles will find the M1A2 a clear improvement over some of their old Russian MBTs. Even with all the upgrades they did on the old Soviet era equipment.

But weapons system is only as good as its crew. By the burned out, turrets blown off, charred, etc. photos of Russian MBTs, IFVs, APCs, etc. is a good example of that. For the most part.

The Russians are going to take more loses with little to show for it. Because the USA & NATO are arming the Ukraine. And they are fighting for their nation. The Russians are just 2d rate invaders. With little motivation, etc.

China is buying Putin's oil … so the sanctions mean little at this point. The new AFVs for Putin to play with will probably be used poorly, like the rest of his forces throughout the war. And I'd imagine the crews may not be any better than their current AFVs crews.

Shooting at a Nuke plant … it won't affect Putin & his cronies, etc. So they don't care. They know the USA's current leadership are not up to playing hardball.

A window has opened to end the war in Ukraine

I'll wait & see … Putin et al. are not always "truthful".

The best window would be the one used to push Vlad down…
