Prediction Thread: When Will Ukraine Conquer Russia

I grovel with the best of them

state governors in charge of tax funded militias

rings a bell

Yep, a very serious warning bell - it made some kind of sense a couple of centuries ago when communication and movement of troops was a problem. Today neither of those are a problem and the 2 amendment is obsolete.

With all of us being Civ veterans, I bet we would be officer material!

Yeah, probably, but most of us might end up with windows accidents or arrests since we have difficulties with inventing fantasies about destroying the UK air force trice, destroying 1.000 HIMARS units etc.

On that point I think that Serb, Berzerker, MWHC and a couple of others are so experienced in groveling that they might have a chance

Perhaps your interpretation of the 2nd amendment.

[Berzerker]

sounds like the 2nd amendment

And now, the Duma has passed a law allowing regional governors to set up their own private military contractors. Imagine each governor being allowed to maintain their own private army (of course, they would be funded with public money).

Russia can now draft men up to 30 and call up reservists up to 55. In Russia, most of us poly members would be considered of prime military age.

Better polarized than nukes being proved to be the umbrella that lets a state get away with anything and have its way with any of it non nuclear neighbors

Conspiracy theory:

1.) Wagner mutiny was staged so Wagner could relocate to Belarus
2.) Putin creates deniability for any Wagner actions
3.) Belarus President says he is having hard time containing Wagner as they "Want to go West"
Now the conspiracy part
4.) Wagner attacks military equipment repair and storage facilities in Poland critical to Ukraine's war effort
5.) Putin and Lukashenko declare Wagner traitors acting contrary to "legal" orders of both governments
6.) Prigozhin says Wagner has done what gutless politicians were to weak to do.

Besides destroying Wagner forces on NATO territory, what would the West's response be?

[Berzerker]

or a southward push and swing eastward encircling NE Ukraine

[Berzerker]

prepare for the push south to kiev
