The Russians are claiming that the C.I.A. is behind those violent protests. I wouldn't be surprised, tbh.
All trains and only international planes that are flying out of the country and far away from the war zone.
IF they do unfortunately it will be a replay of the Georgia war, when Putin unleashed his forces, total destruction followed. Whether you like Putin (good or bad) he has a limit and a red line and when that line is crossed he enforces it with force.Yodean wrote: ↑Thu Jan 06, 2022 12:02 pmThe Russians are claiming that the C.I.A. is behind those violent protests.

This might set up some sort of military confrontation in Eastern Ukraine between NATO and Putin later this month.
Hopefully, BossNinja won't be taken prisoner by Russian Special Forces.
https://www.warzone123.com/strongest-mi ... in-europe/Russian soil lies partly in Europe (East) and also in Asia (Northern). It was an advantage for Russia. Red Bear country, Russia, is the largest country in the world. Its territory covers an eighth of the Earth’s land area, population density and population number 9 in the world.
Strategic geographical location, the number of active personnel are numerous and well-trained, as well as upgrade weaponry on edge, creating the Russian military as the strongest in Europe and Asia-Pacific, as well as one of the best in the world. Beyond that, the key to the military power of Russia is on the availability of nuclear weapons, which can only be rivaledthe United States (US).
A study reveals, with a fighting force that possessedRussia at this time, if they would, then in just 3 days, the Russian military will occupy the three countries in the Baltic region, members of NATO at the eastern border of Europe (Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia), without significant resistance. Even if the US strengthen the region adding troops and heavy artillery such as tanks, then the costs are quite fantastic to measure the concentration of the border a year, which is about 2.7 billion US dollars.
In the world war 3 power list, Russia perched in 2nd place in the World’s Strongest Military 7, the position of unity to the 10 Military Strongest in Asia-Pacific, and in first place in 8 Military Strongest in Europe.
https://nationalinterest.org/blog/reboo ... ics-166756The current NATO force structure in Eastern Europe would be unable to withstand a Russian invasion into neighboring Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia, a new think tank study has concluded.
After conducting an exhaustive series of wargames wherein “red” (Russian) and “blue” (NATO) forces engaged in a wide range of war scenarios over the Baltic states, a Rand Corporation study called “Reinforcing Deterrence on NATO’s Eastern Flank” determined that a successful NATO defense of the region would require a much larger air-ground force than what is currently deployed.
In particular, the study calls for a NATO strategy similar to the Cold War era’s “AirLand Battle” doctrine from the 1980s. During this time, the U.S. Army stationed at least several hundred thousand troops in Europe as a strategy to deter a potential Russian invasion. Officials with U.S. Army Europe tell Scout Warrior that there are currenty 30,000 U.S. Army soldiers in Europe.
The Rand study maintains that, without a deterrent the size of at least seven brigades, fires and air support protecting Eastern Europe, that Russia cold overrun the Baltic states as quickly as in 60 hours.
“As currently postured, NATO cannot successfully defend the territory of its most exposed members. Across multiple games using a wide range of expert participants in and out of uniform playing both sides, the longest it has taken Russian forces to reach the outskirts of the Estonian and/or Latvian capitals of Tallinn and Riga, respectively, is 60 hours. Such a rapid defeat would leave NATO with a limited number of options,” the study writes.“AirLand” Battle was a strategic warfighting concept followed by U.S. and allied forces during the Cold War which, among other things, relied upon precise coordination between a large maneuvering mechanized ground force and attack aircraft overhead. As part of the approach, air attacks would seek to weaken enemy assets supporting front line enemy troops by bombing supply elements in the rear. As part of the air-ground integration, large conventional ground forces could then more easily advance through defended enemy front line areas.
A rapid assault on the Baltic region would leave NATO with few attractive options, including a massive risky counterattack, threatening a nuclear weapons option or simply allowing the Russian to annex the countries.

Russia has the strongest military in Europe. Without US aid, no European country can deal with Russia
If Russia wins this game and there the odds are 90% they will win, then it will mark a turning stone for US dominance, they are losing Asia, they lost middle-east and now they will lose many parts of the caucaus. World leaders are starting to take note of Russia's resurgence.harryg wrote: ↑Thu Feb 03, 2022 9:27 amThings are hotting up:SOL wrote: ↑Thu Jan 06, 2022 1:39 pmIF they do unfortunately it will be a replay of the Georgia war, when Putin unleashed his forces, total destruction followed.

The players: Liz Truss (UK Foreign Secretary) & Maria Zakharova (Russia’s foreign ministry spokesperson)
Liz Truss: "We are supplying and offering extra support into our Baltic allies across the Black Sea"
Maria Zakharova: “The Baltic countries are called so because they are located precisely off the coast of this [Baltic] sea. Not the Black [Sea],” the Russian official wrote on Facebook. “If anyone needs to be saved from anything, then it is the world from the stupidity and ignorance of Anglo-Saxon politicians.”
Ouch.
