But .. I just read they now need donkeys to bring ammunition to the front. How come?
They obviously took a lot of damage economy wise, relations wise, and I thought a war economy was hard to handle even without an already super expensive ongoing war

And will start. You will see like right after potential peace deal with Ukraine, all those russian marionettes will start crying about sanctions that should be lifted. In this way russian will accamulate resources again and that time they will hit a smaller countries than Ukraine. Baltic or maybe Finland. USA won’t be care about it, and Europe will be still talking about how it should rise the military spends on next 0,3% of GDP.

But they don’t. Russia doesn’t want to just start a major war with a NATO country.

come on, be just a tiny bit serious. they cant handle a piss poor battered ukraine alone, how could they handle any serious european nation, that would get the full support of all other european countries (and likely almost all nato countries) support. it would be so bad for russia, it wouldnt even be funny. xept for nukes… sadly putler has them, but at least europe does too.

Poland and Germany need nukes, so does Ukraine by the way.

Russia is already in a major war with Europe. Ukraine is just the current front line.

I love how, on the one hand, Russia hasn’t been able to progress in the war against completely exhausted (army-wise speaking) Ukraine, but it’s supposedly ready to fight against the EU, which has 15 times larger professional army than Ukraine did when Russia attacked it, without even talking about the amount of generation of equipment. It’s absolute nonsense, a much more likely scenario is that Russia will use the EU x USA relationships weakening to improve its own relationships with Europe

Putin can be overthrown too, unleash incessant virulent propaganda on him and watch the regime burn to the ground. Fire with fire.

The time horizons assume that the USA don’t get involved and that NATO does not rearm at the same pace as Russia. If that don’t happen then the scennario is:
– In about six months, Russia “will be able to fight a local war in a country bordering Russia”.
– In about two years, Russia will “pose a credible threat to individual or several NATO countries and thus be ready for a regional war against several countries in the Baltic Sea region”.
– In about five years, Russia “will be ready for a large-scale war on the European continent in which the United States does not get involved”.
In other words it “just happen” to fit in the agenda the Danish goverment have and is “benneficial” 1½ year before the next election

Now they wanna take over europe
Putin couldnt take over a rock even if he wasnt opposed

5 years?.More like 5 months. I seriously doubt we have 5 years.

Not sure what Putin will use as an army unless he starts drafting 10 year olds. They’ve squandered the majority of their armour and experienced crews; the air force is bare bones and the Black sea fleet virtually extinct.
If he starts making nuke threats again – well, they’re most likely to blow up on launch or over Russian territory. They are practically on their knees against Ukraine. Even without the US, I don’t fancy their chances against NATO.

They won’t attack EU next.
Georgia is right up on the platter, they’ve essentially conquered themselves already.
Then it will be the ’stans. My money is on Kazakstan first – big, resource rich country with a crap military.
Only thing that can stop them from doing it is if Ukraine will be in a position to take back what they will inevitably lose from this war.
SalientSalmorejo on
But do they have enough donkeys?
CutePilf21 on
No, they will not.
Putin has the notion by now that the red army is a disgrace, a mess, incompetent and corrupt.
The economy is at its lowest ever, hundred thousands men killed, military equipment at its lowest.
He has no means to do it at a short term such as 5 years.
No way.

The war against Europe will require 5-7 million people from Russia. It doesn’t have that kind of strength.

Schroedingers Russia. Close to collapse and running out of funds for their army while also about to invade the rest of Europe.

Underestimating the enemy is never a good thing to do.
Yes Russia is struggling in Ukraine, but there are other things to consider. First, they almost won their initial bet (immediately taking Kyiv), they underestimated the Ukrainians’ will (Hostomel) and intimate knowledge of Russian tactics. By comparison, when they look more to the West they see no will and less knowledge of their tactics. Which isn’t wrong. Secondly, they gained plenty of experience now, and won’t repeat their blatant mistakes. Third, we never called their bluff (and we should have) so expect them to use the “nuclear threat card” again. Especially in an environment where Trump is POTUS.
They don’t expect to launch a new trench war. In the same way Germany before WW2 didn’t expect to launch a new trench war. Nobody out there is a moron, especially not military strategists. Some allied countries back then expected it to be “trench war bis”, yes, and they had a really bad surprise in 1939-1940. It’s the same here: don’t expect Russia to make the same mistake twice, when they’ll go for the Baltics it will be totally different than Ukraine 2022. Never understimate the enemy, even less an experienced and hardened one, donkeys or not.
It will be the great test for the EU. Victory or disintegration. In order to be ready a first step is not to underestimate the enemy
