Prediction Thread: When Will Ukraine Conquer Russia

[Geronimo]

After the USSR fell the west agreed not to push Nato weaponry into E Germany, but E Germany didn't spend 8 years in a proxy war on Russia's border. It took 8 years of war in the Donbas to get us here, did Russia 'like' that? We did.

It's none of Russia's business. This is like Grenada under Reagan when Washington would invade because an unfriendly leftist revolutionary coup tried to ally Grenada with Washington's enemies. Did you think that was just peachy Berz? Did Washington have a right to do that? What if Reagon had waited until a subsequent election replaced the leftist usurpers and then invaded to depose the new elected government multiple elections after the coup? Better? How about if after waiting for multiple elections to invade Reagon also annexed Grenada and rounded up all the children of the leftists and sent them to be adopted into US families? Is it getting better?

Russia is pulling the same heavy handed arrogant **** that you hated the US doing in the 80's. Why are you Okay with that?

Do you think Russia will let Ukraine join Nato or re-arm after all this? The possible is a few months away.

[Berzerker]

Since when has any country had to be demilitarized? Even East and West Germany got capable modern militaries and after invading Iran and Kuwait and getting smacked with regime change Iraq and post Taliban Afghanistan got militaries. Where the hell does Russia get the right to have demilitarized neighbors? Especially neighbors it likes to annex land from?

I'm sure the Russian army will provide security for Ukraine after demilitarization... just like the US did in Japan.

[Uncle Sparky]

Japan after WW2 had to demilitarize... The two are the same thing for Berz and his types. When Mexico attacks the US to regain its occupied territories and avenge the way Hispanics are treated in the southern states, Berz and his kind will be 100% behind them.

In "Berzworld" anything is possible.

No, that was never the goal. I was addressing the people who said this was about protecting Europe. The goal was a quick war and peace deal granting the east autonomy/independence with a Ukrainian commitment to neutrality. That failed when the Russian army advancing on Kiev was pulled back to deal with the war in the east, but that will be the end result. Eastern Ukraine will vote on their future and Kiev will be largely demilitarized.

IIRC that guy also sez Putin requires everyone to got into quarantine before visiting him. My take is if Putin would get hugged more this war wouldn't have happened, but those quarantine rules prevent that anybody comes close enough to hug him

More likely the occupied territories will be retaken, as the Russian army retreats collaborators and people who support the Putin regime will flee with them, then the people who remain will mostly be pro-Ukraine.

It is possible that Russia out lasts Ukraine and western help dries up but we shall see.

So, are you saying Putin will be conquering Ukraine soon?

[Berzerker]

Global warming might have saved Ukraine over the winter, it didn't get cold enough to freeze the ground. From what I hear it'll be over soon after the ground dries enough for heavy machinery. Zelensky is warning Bakhmut could fall and implying Ukraine will be done when it does. I'm surprised they're lasting this long, I'd say the mission was accomplished. Putin wont be conquering Europe any time soon.

Which means the tritium in fusion bombs needs to be replaced every 4 - 5 years (5 is stretching it) or they get reduced to the effect of tactical fission bombs.
