Putin Invades the Ukraine

[BigElCat]

Now's the time for an international mercenary strike, super-funded, equipped with state of the art war technology.

Pinpoint a salient target, get them in and out fast. Never mind that the transport planes look like USAF. Anybody can rent those. Or least someone could stand in front of a TV camera and say "Anybody can rent those things".

We should send in a team of window guys. Putin's turn to experience that falling sensation.

ROFL.

Toolboxes and carrying a new window, a forged work order, and speaking fluent Russian.

They say the Illusionist Wolf Messing became Stalin's 'Rasputin' by bluffing his way past all of Stalin's security guards. Walked up to him sitting at his desk. He was the only one that ever managed to do it, according to the story.

"The boss threw something through his window. He's pissed. Don't go in there." "Mr Putin, your new window is here". He'd walk over to inspect the original window.

OT again, but that was the second phase I described.

I'll stand by my assertion that OIF and OEF were complete successes militarily, and strategically.

Iran didn't really win. They're the next domino in the region (discounting Yemen).

Winter's coming......


Gas prices shortages ........

Short term comfort over sacrifices. What will be the decisions.


He knows well or expects weakness and capitulation soon.

He doesn't have time to train good troops, and more cannon fodder will avail him little.

He going to use the premise of or to bluff the use of nukes/chemical weapons. Now any actions will be on Mother Russia's sovereign territory.

He knows the clock is ticking and needs a victory.
