bobo88 + 58 BL February 8, 2022 (edited) Statements like this increase the likelihood Putin goes in to Ukraine. Putin does not want to look weak by cowering to a Joe Biden threat. Putin will argue that taking just 4 or 5 oblasts from Luhansk to Kherson is considered a "minor incursion " that the Biden Administration said was acceptable. Dont forget Obama put Biden in charge of Ukraine in 2014. Crimea was lost and 14000 Ukraines died. Biden says nobody has the International Policy experience he does. THANK GOD. Hunter did OK $1 Million/yesr X 3 = $ 3 Million. Where is Antony Blinken, Milley, Austin ? Its no wonder France, Britain and Germany don't want Biden speaking for them. "If Russia invades, that means tanks or troops crossing the border of Ukraine, again, then there will be — there will be no longer a Nord Stream 2," the president told reporters. "We will bring an end to it." Edited February 19, 2022 by bobo88 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lets say up to 2025 This is why I dont want NS II to be lauched now. This year longterm contracts with Poland and few other countries will expire - its minus 22 bilion m3 in long term contract Rest can be supplied by NS I Turkish Stream Ukraine before 2024 At what price. Wel TTF futures says that at very high price This is how this will look like untill 2024 but high NG is problem of Europe not Russia After 2024 contract transit with Ukraine will not be renewed- you will have to choose NG through NS II or nor NG at all. I wonder whether german big bussiness wants to pay so much for happinesss of Ukrainian people. I think they want lower NG more. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You are perhaps thee most gullible individual ive met in quite awhile. Focusing your commentary on spelling, letting that in as part of the conversation. I sense your gullibility is part of your clouded judgement and lack of success, perhaps your obsession for social justice? Javelin are on the ground yes, the stingers I eluded to are incapable of reaching modern jets. Quick Google stingers window of operation. Using naivety as bait was a bit jaded, yet it quite poinent in this exchange or perhaps revealing. Naivety: Naivety (also spelled naïvety), naiveness, or naïveté is the state of being naive. It refers to an apparent or actual lack of experience and sophistication, often describing a neglect of pragmatism in favor of moral idealism. A naïve may be called a naïf.

Could be a big fight. Putin has moved Su-25s into Belarus. Russian heavy artillery in Belarus is within 10 miles from the Ukraine border. Kiev is less than 100 miles from Belarus border. You are correct . This isn't 2014. Russia has so much more technology . Expect US to supply tracking and technical support to Ukraine. Expect Russian Cyber Warfare technology to shut down portions of the Ukraine power grid and other Ukraine support systems. I think build up in Belarus is a red herring. Distract the Ukraine army. Force them to put forces and defense up north to protect the Capital. Putin has encircled Ukraine. He can pick and chose his spots. Putin wants the east. Most of which is open farm land. Difficult to hide for both sides. BUT , of the 7 eastern provences between Luhansk to Odessa 3 are over 75% pro Russian and the other 4 are between 50% to 74% pro Russian. You know Russian special forces (greenies) are already in Ukraine working with the Separatist and Russian sympathisers. They will be hunting the Ukraine two man crews. Stingers are deadly , better than the blankets Obama sent in '14. Not taking sides. It's just like this weekend's Superbowl. Not a fan of either team . Just do the analysis and conclude dominance of LA's O-Line and D-Line will give them a victory. That's my opinion. That's IF Putin goes in.

Additionally re 2014. There were protest across the eastern 1/3 of Ukraine. However , the fighting was focused in Donbas two Oblasts only( Luhansk Omblast , Donetsk Omblast). Plus the Ukraine forces were fighting the Separatist Insurgency, not a fully equiped Russian force of 130,000 troops, heavy artillery, tank battalions and air force that have circled the entire country. Ukraine's soldiers are known to be good fighter . But they are probably smart enough to know when should fold their hand and minimize loses. 2014 MAP https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/79/2014_pro-Russian_unrest_in_Ukraine.png Edited February 11, 2022 by bobo88 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tomasz + 1,608 February 11, 2022 The current crisis simply beats Ukraine much more than Russia Russia is earning record amounts on oil and gas. Capital flows out, but it is balanced by the inflow of funds. Capital only flows out of Ukraine, but not get in It is also the best guarantee for Putin that there will be no direct foreign investments in Ukraine for the next few years. Finally, it is all about forcing Ukraine to federalise and closing its path to NATO But not in such a way that some new Munich, some policy of concessions, only the Ukrainians decided so sovereignly.
