hi Fester,

I have found most of your comments are accurate and thoughtful.

I'd disagree on timeline.

It will all unravel far quicker than anyone thinks.

Zelensky and his military advisors are far smarter than anyone thinks.
They will do unorthodox actions from now on.
Putin and his military staff are privileged bureaucrats.
They will have no idea what is coming or how to defeat it..

I suspect an astonishing destruction of the entire Russian dictatorial system by it's own former troops.

Putin's problem is he cannot use the armies he has deployed in places like Georgia, Chechnya, across Russia and in Moscow. I see a guerrilla campaign from within.

He has abandoned his troops in Northern Ukraine.
They will turn on him.
It would not require much encouragement.

Interesting IJN,

I wouldn't know. The Russian force is a few hundred thousand strong so I would think it will take some time, but I hope you are right.

I found the following site and hope that it might interest you and mox. I think the reason Putin is so upset is because he cannot emulate his idol Adolf.

"On September 1, 1939, Germany invaded Poland. To justify the action, Nazi propagandists accused Poland of persecuting ethnic Germans living in Poland. They also falsely claimed that Poland was planning, with its allies Great Britain and France, to encircle and dismember Germany. The SS, in collusion with the German military, staged a phony attack on a German radio station. The Germans falsely accused the Poles of this attack. Hitler then used the action to launch a “retaliatory” campaign against Poland.

Germany launched the surprise attack at dawn on September 1, 1939, with an advance force consisting of more than 2,000 tanks supported by nearly 900 bombers and over 400 fighter planes. In all, Germany deployed 60 divisions and nearly 1.5 million men in the invasion."

I know the above link is ABC but since they only copy/paste there could be something in it !

Mox,

You are at best amusing trying to tell everyone that white is black etc. You are a joke and no one believes a word you say.

ttbn,

There is no situation where Russia uses Nuclear weapons and gets away with it.

no situation where Russia uses Nuclear weapons and gets away with it.
shadowminister,
That goes without saying as this is the crux of the dilemma !

In my humble opinion, People have the freedom to be stupid on steroids but really should learn some history before making fools of themselves.

As a Ukrainian, I wonder what Australians have been learning at university for th past 20 years, as it sure aint factual or history.

Have a listen and see if you learn anything useful
