Ukrainian ambassador says Russian platoon surrendered to Ukrainian forces Source: The Hill Ukrainian Ambassador to the U.S. Oksana Markarova said Thursday that a platoon of Russian soldiers surrendered to the Ukrainian military, saying they "didn't know that they were brought to Ukraine to kill Ukrainians." At a press briefing, Markarova said, "Just before I came here, we got information from our chief commander that one of the platoons of the 74th motorized brigade from Kemerovo Oblast surrendered." "They didn't know that they were brought to Ukraine to kill Ukrainians. They thought they were doing something else there," she added.

Agreed but the danger lies in Putin getting cornered by America if a fight ensues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’ll resort to tactical nukes which Russia has a plethora. It’s been a backbone of the Russian strategy. He’d target American military installations for massive casualties. America has less than 300 B61 non-strategic tactical nukes. All or most are gravity bombs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All or most are gravity bombs. Wouldn't matter. Once the first one goes off that would be it. There would be no restraint or plan to just use them tactically. The idea that nukes can be a part of general warfare (like in Red Dawn) is laughable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe in 73 with the Israel conflict the US shared photo surveillance with the Russians to try and defuse some tensions. The problem here is I think the Chinese already had a clear picture of what was happening so the Intel only shows them what the US is capable of intelligence wise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's also interesting that China abstained at the UN Security Council vote on condemning the Ukraine invasion. Most thought that they'd vote no. There's some clear signs that what Russia has done goes way beyond what China anticipated. China is poised to lose billions of dollars in investment and future investment in the Ukraine. I was looking over some of the deal that were inked between the two counties. Wow!! China is going to get fucked because of Vlad's ideological war. I'm beginning to think that Vlad's cheese has slipped off his cracker. Edited February 26, 2022 by spin_dry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlos Danger Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 Putin in the past has been very shrewd in his dealings on the world stage in the past. I think his troop massing on the border was an effective tool against the EU and the inept fool in our white house. the only bad move he made was to actually invade. I think if it draws out which it seems it will Putin's political future will be in question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's several bad moves that he made. He failed to prepare the Russian people for war. He believed that Ukrainians were somehow like family because he lives within the past of a failed union. He grossly underestimated the world's response. He's been planning this move since 2014 and there's nothing that would've stopped him short of America and the EU acquessing to his demands which changed by the hour.
