Russia-Ukraine War - News and Developments

[Wergeland]

Sweden is a pacifist country and it's army is really poor besides the swedes are risk-averse.. They will not fire one bullet towards a major Russian convoy column coming from the north towards the Swedish capital.. I could bet the house on that..

Russia does have interest in both countries and hack I could even see it happening in less then 5 years if Russia's economy worsens due to sanctions and used as scapgoat against the sanctions if sanctions is not lifted they will use both as bargaining chip

Its allowed to think that things are like that.
Problem is that all of it is fantasy.

The SU35 video is fake but ther is certainly in a video a fighter blown up in the sky so the SU35 might be true. For now the Russian invasion is a fiasco, you would say they would use ther airforce full potentially with 50 to 100 fighters bombing and securing the sky with awacs. They are not capable to make no fly zone above Ukrain. Thats say much about current Russian technology.

Sorry it will turn in a second syria for them.

Very stupid and irresponsible of the govt. If civilians attack a russian convoy with Molotov cocktails, it wont do much damage but the Russians will then turn towards the residential buildings and flatten them. This clown President is not only a clown but a really stupid one too.

They are talking about a resistance city war where they can bleed the Russian troops..but as you said the response might be too violent to deal with..as civilians will be bombed.. which Russia was avoiding so far..

Exactly what Mearsheimer told us a while ago. US and the West are pushing Ukraine to play though with the Russian and are making Ukraine think they will soon join NATO.

Please give a link to Mearsheimer.

It has a solid army compared to most countries. It stands no chance against Russia.

If Finland and Sweden is attacked, Scandinavia, UK, Germany, Poland, US and France will support them. No doubt. With not only gear and weapons, but with boots on the ground.

Based on the performance of Russian forces, I dont think Sweden or Finland would be that worried. Impressive against Ukraine who has nothing - but Sweden and Finland have very professional armed forces who know what they are doing.

Don't expect anything concrete to come from the UNSC briefing in the next 10 mins.

How does one know if Russian saboteurs won't call to mislead them.

Sounds alot like the conditions Hitler was giving European countries prior to invasion, knowing fully well that it was impossible for any sovereign country to agree to such conditions.

Hitler didn't make demands much after 1939. He just attacked Poland, France, Netherlands, Belgium and Soviets with no warning.

I expect there will be a defense treaty with the UK / Sweden / Finland and USA v.v.v.v. soon - one that bypasses the NATO onboarding process as that takes so long and there are to many veto's there.

People made a mistake with not supporting Ukraine and Ukraine made a mistake by not recognising and actually preparing for risks she faces - but that mistake wont be made again.

Will the Ruskies want to go up against the UK or USA / Swedes and FInish with their soviet era junk ?

You know the whole history repeats first as tragedy, then as farce? Well, the original Volkssturm at least had Panzerschrecks. The cheap Ukrainian Volkssturm has Molotov cocktails to throw at tanks.

Sorry it will turn in a second syria for them.

You mean a war where they achieve complete victory and explode a refugee bomb into their enemies' faces? Excellent.

Nazi Germany barely occupied Soviet and looting takes time, especially if you have to acquire wealth through enslavement.

Nazi Germany occupied almost entire European Soviet Union for years. They were able to enslave millions.

Well, Ukraine's problem is that its already beaten. How long it wants to keep taking punches to the head is up to it. It can do it the easy way or the hard way, but the outcome will be the same.

And they didn't even have nukes..just imagine if they did..

This is not thinking brother but real ground reality and this was what Russia's spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said today in a press-con.

"Clearly [the] accession of Finland and Sweden into NATO, which is first and foremost a military alliance, would have serious military-political repercussions that would demand a response from our country," she said.

Ukraine's president confirmed that both countries had offered their support in the fight against Russia.
