Very possible. If the war reaches a tipping point and their new offensive falters (or worse), Russia may become extremely dangerous. i.e. strike resupply depots inside Poland, Romania and/or the Baltic states. If so, does NATO reciprocate ... because a proportional response means hitting supply depots inside Russia. It's easy to see how this could escalate. Conversely, it's also easy to see NATO showing weakness - which may be even more dangerous.Quote:

Rossticus said:The correct response would be to have major US/NATO assets already in position in E. Europe (we don't), and a heightened nuclear alert posture (unclear), then tell the Russians to do something about it. Unfortunately both NATO & US leadership continue to act w/weakness instead. https://t.co/NbmIhtYO9r

Yaaaaaaawn
So what exactly will Russia do? Invade Poland and Finland? They have been so successful in Ukraine I imagine they figure it will only take a few days to be successful!
Keep feeding Ukraine and tell Russia if you leave you won't die.

Have come across a few Russians on Twitter today who seem to believe that Texas is supportive of Russia in this. Curious as to where this is coming from. Odd as this is the first time I've seen any similar sentiment.
One even suggested that (paraphrased) "Texan militias should come to Moscow to be trained and militarized and that Russia should financially and militarily back a Texan war of secession".
Some interesting stuff out there once you dive down the Russian rabbit hole. Anyone seen stuff like this elsewhere, eg Reddit, etc?

As several have noted, based on the evidence thus far, their ability to coordinate more than two BTGs at a time seems to be somewhat limited as well.

The average native Texan could probably hold their own against Russia without training.
My guess if only real military units in Texas were deployed against Russia, this would already been over.
No but it seems obvious that if Texas were to break from the US without it being mutual that the obvious points of funding would be Russian and Chinese. Not sure how much, uh training, I would trust based on current performance. LOL.Rossticus said:

Bring it, Anus-toly
There are a couple posters here who were very pro-Russia and still try to slip in pro-Russia commentary here and there. I'm sure they are talking big on various forums etc. about how Real Texans totally sympathize with what Russia is doing.

The Russian design philosophy for their tanks and fighting vehicles has always been firepower, mobility, and cheap at the expense of protection and survivability. All their tanks and other armored vehicles are much lighter than western equivalents, with a big emphasis on being amphibious. With the right tactics it could be a winning combination. Driving down roads getting picked off isn't the right tactic.
That's fine and all, but I still wouldn't be very confident in my equipment.
Russians like to show their kids holding guns in propaganda videos but myself and most of the kids I grew up with (and lots of native Texans across the state) were already safely and competently handling firearms and hunting during elementary school. First rifle I ever hunted with was my grandfather's service M1 Carbine.

I think I saw it at RusAgs. I post there under AK-FortyHeaven and my favorite board is the Fox(bat & hound) and the East Russia board.

2000? Crazy. If this is accurate, they obliterated just about the entire 400 vehicle column moving towards Kharkiv that I posted about earlier today. This account is a Canadian guy fighting in Ukraine, but he posts general info, too, not just what his unit was doing, so the info isn't necessarily firsthand.
Furthermore, during the day, a total of almost 90 #Russian soldiers and 13 units of Russian equipment were "utilized" in #Kherson region.

"utilized' - is that supposed to mean taken out, or that 90 russian soldiers with their equipment flipped sides?MeatDr said:

If they eliminate them then they tend to say "liquidated". I'd imagine these are soldiers that previously flipped sides and captured equipment that's been repaired and put back into service for Ukraine.

He was always very pro-Russian.
After the Russian invasion, he wrote on Facebook that it was unclear who is shelling Ukrainian cities.
Turns out the Russians killed him in Bucha over a bottle of wine. pic.twitter.com/y4iMJYdYe7
I'm going to go with "utilized' as in "utilized for fertilizer". Hopefully then had some sunflower seeds in their pockets.

Nato and those somewhat sympathetic to Ukraine have accepted that Russia and take the eastern portion of Ukraine to an extent.
Russia has to defeat Ukraine with European and Western weapons and reinforcements. I have a hard time seeing anyone stopping the flow of tech or hardware to Ukraine. If they strike another country...we all need to buckle up.

If you eradicated Kadyrov and his clan then things would probably straighten out. He does the same thing to the Chechen people that Putin does to everyone else. Is a sick, oppressive freak who has sold out his people for individual power.
Edit. Testing the profanity filter. Nope. Can't post that thing here that I was going to.
I am at the point where I am ready for us to start doing what the Israelis do to the Syrians. Just send in some stealth planes and let them wreck shop on everything Russian they can find. Then just deny we had any involvement whatsoever. Tell them it was Ukrainians flying choppers between the trees and firing Anti tank missiles.
About the worst place to be is part of a convoy whose location gets tweeted in real time. Magnet for every regular and irregular unit within a hundred miles.
Not to mention, tractors.

2/ Given Russian operational performance to date I realize that this assessment may end up being wildly off. Producing a reliable open-source analysis is difficult to say the least. Information is scarce & what is available is heavily weighted in favor of Ukraine.
