NATO would be just supporting a democracy to create a buffer state. And you're a gullible fool to believe that Putin would stop at Ukraine if NATO were to just let them fall. A buffer state? Have the Russians threatened to attack any NATO nation? 1 Quote Its so lonely in m'saddle since m'horse died.

B-29s had been using regular high explosive bombs on Japanese cities without the desired effects. The simple oil-pot incendiary bomb from under 10,000 feet proved to be the ticket.

You keep saying this...but I never said nukes were okay. I don't think Canada or NATO should be anywhere near this fight lest nuclear war does get to be the last option. And we getting there thanks to yappy little mutts like yourself clamoring for battle from your supposed safe place. 1 Quote Nothing cracks a turtle like Leon Uris.

They've threatened Nations that want to join NATO. Again no NATO troops are engaged in combat in Ukraine. NATO nations are sanctioning the shit out of Russia and providing military aid.

See how that works. I really don't see Ukraine as a buffer state. Buffer state for who? Quote
Boges Posted October 4, 2022 Report Posted October 4, 2022 33 minutes ago, Infidel Dog said: Currently the 2 countries, US and Russia appear to be playing chicken. Yesterday I read this questionable story how Putin was moving a nuke to the Ukrainian border for a threatened test. Then I read another questionable suggestion from some cable "expert," possibly a Biden regime rep saying if Putin used a small nuke to attack Ukraine, Nato would respond by joining the conflict. But let's imagine those stories are true. Not sure why the Americans would need nukes. MOABs have a 50 kilometer blast radius. Drop a few of those in Crimea and see what happens. Say, take out that Russian bridge, the airports and the Russian fleet at Dock. Do it with MOABS. Not because you need that much ordinance but in reaction to a small nuke without using a nuke on what both Ukraine and Russia call their territory in reaction to the Russian baby nuke. But then what happens? NATO could have this war done and dusted in a few weeks if they wanted to. They wouldn't even have to put a single rifle in the country, it could all be done using air power.

Indeed. I think these Putin apologists believe the propaganda that Ukraine is a corrupt fascist state. It was before the uprising in 2014 that led to the annexation of Crimea. Zelensky has great popular support. Quote

Pragmatism in War is a difficult thing. The Azov regiment are good fighters. Certainly not emblematic of the Ukrainian power structure as a whole however. I imagine, in the 40's, you would have objected to support for Stalin in the Eastern Front. Quote
