When a private in an army attacks their enemy, it's actually their general who is issuing the orders and providing targeting and technical and other support. You call it the Ukraine state army but it's actually USA. Or we could go into who is actually in charge as it's not the voter in Peoria. Neither is it Trump. They shot him once. He knows to toe the line.
You can write that the trains, refineries etc are being destroyed by some privates in Ukraine but Russians aren't going to accept that fraud.
It's apparent that Russia is willing to fight back. Whether they'll give in and unconditionally surrender or not remains to be seen. I suppose it's possible. But the history of Russia and most people is that they'll fight back with everything they've got.
Russia according to everything I've heard or read or seen over my many decades has actually got thousands of deliverable atomic bombs.
They've said they'll use them and even if they hadn't said so, I assume they would when things get bad enough. I suppose they'll try a small escalation to demonstrate they actually will.
I have no idea how escalations might go but I did watch Dr Strangelove by the amazing Stanley Kubrick many decades ago. He was great at delving into the dark minds of man. It has stood the test of time.
From my neutral position, Americans seem to be crazed megalomaniacs. Which is not to say others aren't like that too, but lacking the wherewithal to act out.
My guess is that Putin has an advantage. Unlike Gorby, I think Putin actually enjoys killing people who oppose him. And he likes them to know they are being killed. Prighozin could have been killed by himself on the ground. But he was killed along with pilots, and the hostess lady and associates by loss of a wing for a lengthy fall into the ground.
Polonium 210 tea led to a week or two of gradual death. Dioxin disfigured. Novichok gave Navalny slow death though they did release him to Germany. Foolishly he returned for more.
I think Putin would enjoy the process of mutual assured destruction if USA people want to die, which they seem to want to do. As do the rulers of the UK and many gullible credulous English people. One of my great great grandfathers died after trying to wrest Crimea from Russia during the Crimea war. A silly idea these days and not great then.
USA has been on the rampage in Ukraine for decades now, culminating with the coup in Kiev which conquered Ukraine for USA with a hundred or so deaths followed by ten thousand in the Eastern fighting until a truce was called and the fake Minsk agreement made.
USA kept loading up Ukraine until Putin decided things were getting too serious and he decided to take over the East.
And here we are.
I had thought Putin was walking into a Saddam style April Glaspie trap. I thought whiz bang DARPA fancy weapons would kill the Russian army. Oops a daisy, Russia did not lose... double oops a daisy the sanctions didn't work either. China and North Korea were happy to take over Asia like Genghis Khan, all the way to Hungary. So they've provided all the help needed.
Stupid Yanks and Euroserfs could have made Russia an ally and had NATO's border at the great wall of China. Instead the China border is now from Norway all the way down to Turkey.
150 million Russians vs 1,300 million Chinese. That's a losing hand. But it's better than immediate conquest by the American, British and German barbarians.
So go ahead and bomb airports, refineries, trains, bridges, ships, and whatever you like. You're just annoying them more. They didn't surrender when Barbarossa and the 1812 Overture rolled into town. You might get lucky this time.
I think you'll find out what a megaton does to a city near you.
1.1 billion Americans and Euroserfs with high GDP and no reason to have started the war have a lot more to lose than Russia in this game of chicken. I watched Putin throw the steering wheel out the window before the invasion when he stood before the monument. We'll soon find out whether USA is chicken or not. I think so.
The carnage has been horrific.
One macabre thought I've had is do obese people ignited by nuclear explosions self immolate using the fat as fuel. The Hiroshima bomb left shadows on the ground where Japanese had been. It was horrific to visit the memorial museum 35 years ago. USA has 100 million obese people.
It's strange to think that perhaps most Americans want to experience a similar fate. I don't mean they want to feel it themselves, I mean they want to do the things that will lead directly to them having that experience. Like somebody imagining they can stand in front of a train and stop it. Or get in a tiger cage and tame the tiger. Or jump off a cliff thinking they can fly if they just believe it.
Their moronic answer is usually "He's bluffing. Let's roll."
