if only ukraine still had a nuclear deterrent funny...
WWIII thread
- Thread starter Fool
- Start date
especially now that UKR has set up a website to help russian families identify those captured or KIA
This made the rounds before the invasion started, but if they don't have a fleet of these you are probably correct:
cremate them, bury them, it doesn't matter, the families will know when that soldier is indefinitely gone and they will ultimately turn against their oppressor's after they find out the truth and see past the state led media machine.
file under promises forgotten...
So now we have about 5 countries worth of 50k+ combined troops that all came with fighters, bombers, tracked rigs and air supprt and all are being nestled gently and patiently around russia and belarus.
Seems this is setting up to be a bi lateral mission, I can see a front line being set up in between ukraine and russia to secure around the border while forces push in and clean ukraine of any russians elements before moving on, From there it is anybodies guess as to what will happen. I believe the UN and EU seem to be dragging their feet with politics and councils in order to give more time to amass the international resources needed to successfully intervene. B-52, fighter jets and brigade combat teams have been flying into Europe in a constant flow over the last 5 days as seen on UK military and plane spotter channels. America alone now has at least 3 brigade combat teams in Europe ready to go. Aircraft and naval transponders and AIS have been turned off on nearly everything now, usually when that happens it means OPSEC is in force and final movements are being made and organized.

Welcome to the new Korea, if things go well.
Gonna be Dr. Strangelove if not.

Right now its a two nation "conflict", But, I bet by the weekend it will be a full fledged WW3 if Russia keeps their current tempo and posture.
I am sure they are very aware they are staring down the barrel of certain annihilation. The certain specific units, numbers and equipment being positioned by the US alone is the telling story of things to come.
I agree, unfortunately with my background its like a train wreck for me, I cant look away. I find myself facepalming at videos and accounts of tactical bumbles and strategic mishaps. At this point I am very impressed with Ukraine and its ability to hang in there by a thread for the sake of EU and UN posterity and hope they cant get the breather and take a knee while the rest of the countries pitch in and truly make a difference because the fire power ratio and superiority of the current assets sitting at the sidelines are massive compared to likes of the current Russian elements involved.
UN vote says Russia bad, go home no, (no shit), now get ready for the EU and NATO to hold up the start flag.
As the father of 3 draft-aged men... I feel this acutely.
Was nice knowing you guys. If there is indeed a God, let me know so I can straighten out my attitude.
The whole wasp's nest of F15s was in the air in Burlington this morning.
Jesus...........As the father of 3 draft-aged men... I feel this acutely.
It's pretty quiet over at Peterson this morning, which is not comforting.
That would more than likely be the 158th fighter wing (which is national guard) probably dusting off gear and getting flight hours to prep for either deployment or atlantic patrol, those jets will typically stay stateside.
Peterson mostly hosts support, medical, airlift and spaceforce assets. If anything the C-17's, C-5's and KC-135 variants already left last week.
All is quiet in Yakistan although I did see a pair of Chinooks with those long straws yesterday.
Ah, so it's about Natural gas.. nothing to do with reuniting the Soviet Union(at least primarily), seems to make more sense now.
Seems a little... misguided, being that they already have quite a bit. WW3 over gas? Fuck Putin.
It is the 158th.
there's a lot more resources than that. i believe it was posted earlier in the thread.Seems a little... misguided, being that they already have quite a bit. WW3 over gas? Fuck Putin.
Most of the folks I know at Pete do intelligence "stuff", and that's all they will say abut it. But now that you mention it, the heavies have been conspicuously absent for a while.
i sure hope the oligarchs decide to handle this internally for everyone's sake.
Russia places extraordinary demands on OneWeb prior to satellite launch
Cooperation in space among Russia and the West has been stripped to the bone.

Silly question but I always wondered.
Is it the 158th, because there are at least 157 other fleets like that?
Or the number is just a number?
Divisions, brigades, squadrons and battalions are designated and numbered into capabilities under effective operational classifications, As those older classifications are absorbed, disbanded or reconfigured a new Name or number is appointed under the division, regiment or squadron with its name or number as the Capabilities of said element, Very rarely are names or numbers continued for historical value or tradition.
the fucked up part of my brain has just informed me that a nuclear winter would probably do a decent job of warding off global warming, for better or worse (at least for those left)
This will definitely change or speed things up, this event could possibly be used in citing article 5 but they still arent a part of NATO, russia is starting to get sloppy enough to get this ball rolling.
