I’m just waiting for them to cross the border and for Poland to call for an Article 5 intervention against Russia and Belarus. I’m tired of watching the war in Ukraine, and I want to see it end, and that’s one way to see it end in less than a month.
Fuck Russia and fuck Belarus for being aggressive, imperialist assholes.
I want to see it end, and that’s one way to see it end in less than a month.
so you think western powers, who have exhausted their ammo and munitions stockpiles by sending them to be wasted/destroyed in ukraine will suddenly “end the war in less than a month” under a full hot war? lol you have no idea what you’re talking about
Lmao if you think the West has no ability to fight you’re delusional. In one week, the air war would be over and the USAF would be conducting close air support runs for the UAF. In two, Minsk would fall to US and Polish combined arms forces. And in three, Russia would be pushed out of Ukraine as Western ground forces reached their front lines and broke through or flanked them.
Russia has been slowly losing a war, with 95% or more of their armed forces committed, against the second poorest country in Europe, supplied with spare and obsolete arms from the West. They would crumble like paper against NATO. And they know it.
They mostly got our old stuff that we don’t use anymore.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
WARSAW, Aug 3 (Reuters) - Fighters from Russia’s private Wagner mercenary force are being moved close to NATO’s eastern flank to destabilise the military alliance, Poland’s prime minister said on Thursday.
Wagner soldiers have begun training with the Belarus national army, prompting Poland to start moving more than 1,000 troops closer to the border.
“We need to be aware that the number of provocations will rise,” Mateusz Morawiecki said after meeting Lithuanian President Gitanas Nauseda in eastern Poland.
The politicians met in the Suwalki Gap, a sparsely populated but strategically important area of Polish territory between Belarus and the Russian exclave of Kaliningrad that joins the Baltic states to other NATO members.
Belarus allowed Russian President Vladimir Putin to use its territory as a launch pad for the Ukraine invasion, but has not committed its own troops to the war.
I’m a bot and I’m open source!
