This is actually one of the problems on the Pontic Steppe and why Russia is so damn paranoid. There's very, very little in way of defensible terrain. European Russia has almost no natural borders and most of it is flat and open, some marsh here and there, but the Steppe? The rivers are your best bet, I guess.
Yes. Russia has historically used its sheer vastness as its defence. - An invading force simply couldn't maintain supply lines over such distances.

Also, I don’t even speak Russian, and that pronunciation was terrible.
 
That's the US hyper-partisan version that assumes some crackhead dipshit and his lost laptop is the initiator of events.

The more realistic one is that EU leadership assumed Russia to be a simple backwards gas station with no regional or global ambitions that could ever come into conflict over gaining influence in bordering countries as the EU spread east.
Don't be absolving Obiden administration of their role in this saga now.

That same talking point was used by Obama and Crimea as a result happened under his watch.

I don't believe it was the laptop but I guess telling the Chinese about what we knew and sucking off Beijing and Moscow for the past two years played a giant role.

EU is nothing more than the welfare bastard produced as a result of NATO.

They all look to America to solve their problems while trying to play footsie with the Russians under the table.
 
Watching RT
Who can blame Vlad for his humanitarian mission seeing the war crimes in Donsomething. Unearthing mass graves.
It's really interesting that neither the west nor the Russians can handle hearing "yeah, we're pursuing important strategic geopolitical interests as the great power of our region".

Both sides have to couch their actions in these emotional propagandist terms of "other people are Nazis doing the evil things and we're the good guys doing the good things". And most people will buy it, over and over again.

It's all so tiresome.
 
Isn't that what I said? It's an obstacle to resupply and redeployment.
It's a bit more than an obstacle, it has the chance of completely obliterating the supply chain and it will leave everywhere in and out of the Donbas open to Russian bombs if they choose to step up their air game.

They can't be happy at this show of incompetence and they were visibly concerned when Putin threatened to nuke Finland and Sweden. There may be some truth to Putin's mental instability even though it really looks like desperation.
So you're just speculating about what Russian generals are thinking? It's not as if Putin drafted these war plans up by himself in the war room, they helped.
 
I still don't understand why they want to shift the responsibility for energy and especially green shit? Like they want you to use green cars, and if you can't afford a green car to drive on bus or bike or some shit, switch to green energy and stop eating meat because global emissions or some shit, despite the fact that a common man doesn't even contribute to global pollution as much as say your local diner. And now they want you to switch to heaters tin use up their gas?
Ultra-lefties don't understand how basic things work. They live in urban bugpods detached from reality and information about how the world works is passed to them through reddit. "Russia produce gas. Me no like Russia. Me use less gas." Simple explanations for simple people.

Thing is North America imports very little gas. We have a shitload and plenty of reserves. The gas problem is for euros and asian nations to figure out. Probably by development and transportation of gas from North America since we have a shitload of reserves. Turning down your thermostat or driving a smugmobile isn't going to matter for shit. We got away from relying on energy from outside the continent.
 
Putins Russia was a threat but Russia with Belarussia and half to all of Ukraine has a real chance of becoming a serious threat.
lol no theyve already alienated every other nation who was considering nato and gave the perfect excuse for america to pressure even nations actually dependent on russia to cut ties and block them.

convenient that isnt it? that we just happen to supposedly have that and we just so happen to not have ukraine in nato allowing russia to do this and alienate itself? that we juuuuuussssst so happened to have all the narratives and talking points laid out and enough things happened all at once to make even russian allies say "oh shit how do i back away from my old bud gracefully"
