Donbas is part of Ukraine. I guess you would have supported the South in the US Civil war as well.

Disagree.

This is a foolish civil war between slavic people, for no reason, no benefit to anyone.

This is a foolish opinion by a man with a poor grasp of history.

You would have let the South separate and the US fragment. But it would have avoided a war right and that’s all that counts. But when it comes to Ukraine you are all about might makes right and Russia ca take whatever it wants. What a hypocrite.

the wild card is Kaliningrad

 a Russian Oblast which is trapped behind the lines inside NATO territory

Kaliningrad is the Crimea of the north

headquarters of the Russian Baltic fleet

hence, if the Russians decide that Kaliningrad is threatened like Crimea was

then we could be away to the races on the Sulwaki Gap, from Belarus through Lithuania

I can’t believe I never even heard about that place before. In all my life, this is the first I knew of that oblast/naval base.

If you include Poland and Lithuania, what is that now, 13 or 14 countries that Russians share a border with?

I really don’t think that Canadians and Americans innately understand Russian geopolitics. 
 

They share so many borders with so many completely different groups it’s insane. The Stans, China, Noko, Poland, Ukraine, Finland, etc and then there are other major countries like the US which is 2 1/2 miles away, Iran, is just a short trip down the Caspian sea, Turkey just across the Black sea, etc.

Canada and the USA are like an island, so isolated and protected by vast oceans, most of us can’t appreciate how real shit is for other countries.

well it used to be East Prussia and the city of Konigsberg,  in the German Empire

then the Soviets annexed it at the end of the Second World War, changing it to Kaliningrad

then when the Soviet Union collapsed, it became isolated by Latvia & Lithuania becoming independent again

OK, makes more sense now. 

When I got out in June 1990 that would still have been a contiguous piece of the USSR.

exactly,

from 1945 to 1991, the Soviet Union extended all the way to Kaliningrad, included Estonia, Latvia & Lithuania

furthermore, beyond that, the Warsaw Pact incuded Poland & East Germany

so Kaliningrad was well to the east of the Trace on the Inter German border, inside the USSR

in the First Cold War, the Soviets absolutely dominated the Baltic Sea

all the way through the Baltic States and Poland, then into Germany by way of the DDR

neutral Finland & Sweden blocking NATO to the north

but see how that situation is completely reversed now

with NATO totally surrounding Russia in the Baltic

thus why Kaliningrad has become so strategically important to the Russians

as I say, it's the Crimea of the north

consider the Russian strategic imperative

the Kremlin must protect its maritime bastions from the Anglo American nuclear submarine force

they have two relatively secure bastions

the Red Banner Northern Military Maritime Fleet on the Barents Sea at the Kola Peninsula in Murmansk Oblast

that's Severomorsk, Severodvinsk, Polyarny & Zapadnaya Litsa naval bases

then the Eastern Military Maritime Fleet on the Sea of Okotsk at the gateway to the Pacific

that's Vladivostok & Petropavlosk-Kamachatsky naval bases

but then they have three maritime bastions which are contested by NATO forces

the Western Military Maritime Fleet at Kaliningrad on the Baltic Sea

the Southern Military Maritime Fleet at Crimea on the Black Sea

and then to prevent themselves by being bottled up in the Black Sea by the Turks on the Bosporus Strait

the Mediterranean Military Maritime Fleet is based at Tartus,  Syria

the whole Russian doctrine is really founded on preventing the Anglo-American forces from blockading Russia

so if the Balloon is going to go up

it's going to be when the Russians feel the need to break out of an Anglo-American blockade of these bastions

the Russian surface forces are really only meant to defend Russian bastions from NATO

the arm of decision for the Russians is the nuclear powered Submarine Cruiser as they call them

the only way to break out, is escalation dominance

by undersea warfare therein, against NATO Strategic Lines Of Communication (SLOC)

you can go all the way back to the Battle of Jutland in the First World War

to the see the effects of the heavyweight torpedo

it's the most dangerous weapon on the high seas 

since it can sink any ship at a single blow

this is why the Germans turned back at Jutland, in fear of their capital ships being sunk by torpedo

and this is why the Germans lost the First World War, when they failed to break the blockade

so the Soviets then Russians have been determined not to let that happen to them

from the torpedo to the submarine launched ballistic missile

first the torpedo starts the war, then the SLBM ends it

first strike preemptive counterforce and/or survivable second strike countervalue

hence how the nuclear submarine  is ultimate strategic weapon devised by man

he who rules the waves rules the world
