What if...
Doesn't make sense to me to do these sorts of gayops and then turn around and sign a 40 billion dollar support package to the country openly. What's the difference between 40 billion and 42?
When every AFU soldier inside Bakhmut is dead or captured, and the remains of the city have been swept and the western edge of the city has been secured, that's when you can say it's taken.
Way too many.
What's the stacking penalty here?
Those aren't going to be able to be shipped from Afghanistan to Ukraine without anyone noticing.
When you get into it deep enough you realize that all ideologies are just the same, trying to make history. Right now Russia is carving its own path. Putin does not necessarily have a strict ideological world view, but I feel like a new ideology will be born in the blood stained soil in Ukraine. Compare that to America which has a very strict liberal, extremely ideological, worldview. America's following its wrath. But maybe America and Russia are both the same? If Putin and Biden sat down in a room together, and their guard was down, they'd both agree that violence breeds violence, but in the end it has to be this way.
This isn't aimed at you buddy, just the story that you posted.
Good point, but I'd also like to add that Russian sources say the construction of "a special holding facility for nuclear weapons" in Belarus will finish on July, 1. A "special holding facility" is not a silo and can be anything from a Metal Gear-style military base to a concrete shack with a "nucular arsenal donut steel" plaque on the door, but we are still talking about something bigger than just aicraft.
There are special holding facilities in Britain for storing Nuclear weapons. It's a few minutes of flight time to Moscow. If Russia moves nukes to belarus, it'll be a few seconds less than a few minutes to hit Europe.

NATO does the same thing and many countries host US nukes. This is a nothingburger
