Can we, the collective west, finally get up our asses and militarily intervene on these plans, or do we really want to fight on the Suwalki gap and baltics in a few years?

Ok, **HOW** are they going to seize Odesa?
They don’t have a fleet right now to do it.
The troops in tranistria are too small in number to try it
And the nearest Russian forces are 500kms away, with 2 major cities and 2-3 rivers in between them.

First they stated the Donbass was going to be a buffer zone from NATO. Then, they stated they would need a buffer zone to the buffer zone, ideally with a nice view to the black sea. This will also require (obviously) a demilitarised (buffer) zone for the fishing boats (and a couple other stuff they may have floating around. And come to think of it, if they can also get a friendly country between NATO and the buffer zone acting as a 3 day observation zone…
The matrioska of russian imperialism.
Fuck them. Hard.

Odesa has always been a Russian goal, but I have to say I think they have no capacity to achieve this goal. However, they will bluster it for maximum propaganda. And so Ukraine has to maintain a capacity to defend against the goal, which siphons resources. And I suspect that siphoning is the real Russian objective. They hope to win overall via a “divide and conquer” approach on the front line.

Zelensky is hardly ever wrong. His Intel is 99%

And the West still doesn’t take it seriously.
