We dont want this imo.
At all.
Hey Snaked
You are continuing to make fun of the "when Russia is going to invade" schtick?
Or did you get over that little man?
lol 5-week special operation
Russian convicts? I doubt Russia even wants them back.
If Russia is invaded by Ukraine, can Russia invoke Article 4 (collective security clause) of the CSTO treaty??
This may actually be relevant now.
It has begun...
Indeed. Before the run-up, it was up in the air.
Once US intel started publicly saying it was going to happen, it didn't take long for any ambiguity to clear up.
Only for s like you could changing ones mind because of better information be a bad thing. Tell me you suck at critical thinking without saying you suck at critical thinking.
Since you are here:
Why is Trump still sucking Putin's ? Why do so many Republicans openly support a fascist regime in Moscow?
Trump is easy. He looks at as a quid pro quo arrangement to his benefit. They help him without him even asking. He probably thinks its a sign of his greatness.
I am really confused why old school neocons like Lindsay Graham are on board with it. I get it is RNC policy but still. It's ing weird.
... and a day or two later, with more information:
But you got your yucks, and have always cared little for the truth, as most conservatives do not.
Dunno. How embarrassing would it be for Russian nukes to be so easily captured? I beg to differ.
Not all of the mobiki are convicts. The majority of the men fighting for Russia are not.
It would be funny for them to invoke and Kazakhstan and Belarus refuse. I don't think he can afford to let something like that happen. This invasion into Belgorod has to have Putin shook as . Unfortunately this is where he can start justifying the use of nuclear weapons. Sovereignty and all that.
A bit of data that is explained by this hypothesis:
The basis of modern conservatism is violence, dishonesty and greed.
If you know your policy is , be dishonest.
If someone opposes you, they are satanists. Get the useful idiots in the movement to either kill them or threaten to kill them. Glorify violence at every turn, and use the language of violence in politics.
If you can make money, do so, don't worry about the consequences for society in general. Ape Russian talking points, and watch the money roll in.
Most of the shock troops are. That has been their MO since they lost a couple special forces brigades early in the war.
They deploy the citizen conscripts to what the Russian see as low priority. Ukraine tries to take advantage like the Kharkiv counteroffensive where they run away and can be captured.
I am curious how many men in those Russian rebel militias are former conscripts.
I get that but Graham is deep in the pockets of defense contractors. The naval shipyards in SC paid him extremely well.
GOP is a leaderless quagmire.
Graham has to pay at least lip service to Russia because he can’t win a primary without the -eating, cousin- ing cracker vote. And -eating, cousin- ing crackers love Russia because 1) it has strong anti-LBGTQ policies, and 2) they find appeal in authoritarianism because they long for dominance over their domestic enemies.
Then get the IAEA involved in some way.
Its not a good thing when random groups have control over radioactive material in a weapon. Even if they cant deliver it.
Some international agency needs to know where it is. Not a good precedent. I dont want random radical groups in Israel etc... getting at their weapons either.
Just my opinion.
I do like that the idea there are Russian elements capable of distracting Putin et all (Wagner, Russian MoD, various other military en ies fighting for Russia) and making the war even more difficult for Russia

This scenario was the underlying argument behind not letting Russia splinter into 20 different countries.
It is not about the convicts, it is about artillery that responded once the convicts reveal the location of the defenders.
King of the battlefields always has his way.
Pretty much.
Which I totally understand and seems the rational thing to do.
It gets even worse when you cant hold a government or individual responsible.
The West had a vested interest in Russia’s holding together, which explains some of the pre-2022 deference to its aggression, but the internal pressures on that colonial empire — and make no mistake, despite its contiguity that’s what it is — necessitated the subjugation of Ukraine. If there’s a way to be East Slavic and Orthodox (culturally, at least) without being anti-Western, then the whole idea of Russia falls apart.
Russia has to be able to see itself as the center of the world, the savior of the world, or else it falls apart.
But the wholesale invasion of Ukraine was a bridge too far. So now over the next generation we’ll have to live with nuclear materials disappearing into the soup of a dozen Caucasian republics, independent Siberia, Dalniy Vostok, etc.
