LOL sure.

mikkeljylland.bsky.social•19 days ago

I think it would be very difficult for both Russia and European Nato to be strong enough to win a conventional war.

Just look at Ukraine. Taking huge territory is not easy for any army.

So a war would just drag on and not be worth it.

johnyaya.bsky.social•19 days ago

"expecting" in this case = planning

centristsisyphus.bsky.social•18 days ago

For Russia, "Peace" is tactical, not a strategic goal.

thebookstoreonpluto.ca•19 days ago

In other words, Russia will keep provoking NATO until they react and will then blame NATO for attacking them first. 🙄

alessandrafix.bsky.social•18 days ago

Will they have any soldiers left ?

boisejim7.bsky.social•18 days ago

Putin and his Russian thugs wake up every day prepared to destabilize the West. Every damn day. And what do we do? Keep trading with them, keeping admitting their citizens to our countries, keep their consulates open, give them access to our financial markets. Will we ever wake up?

andersto.bsky.social•18 days ago

No worry. We just got the jsm missiles integrated onto F-35. 🇺🇦🇳🇴🏆

lrosenthal.bsky.social•18 days ago

They expect the North Koreans to fight it for them? I’m a bit confused.

deevhutch.bsky.social•18 days ago

Good luck with that. Russia has burned through 1 million troops and most of it's equipment. What are they going to do - attack with a bunch of North Koreans?

antony4646.bsky.social•19 days ago

Err...yes. And with what kind of equipment?
Because they certainly have the production in terms of drones, missiles...and Ladas.
For the rest, it is going to get a bit more complicated.
Of course, first, they have to fight the Ukrainian Army...

veertjephilips.bsky.social•19 days ago

No surprise there.

tdukes.bsky.social•19 days ago

Scare tactic

mezzerzmitt.bsky.social•18 days ago

Interesting question is why he is so obsessed initiating conflicts.

tinkhackett.bsky.social•18 days ago

Not surprising given Putin's stated goals of reunifying Mother Russia.

ltlging.bsky.social•19 days ago

"With what army?" 🤣 Do they have enough scooters for that?

steve36893.bsky.social•18 days ago

What a joke. Poland by itself could defeat Russia.

wildgorillaman.bsky.social•18 days ago

*Latvia has entered the chat*

yournyan.bsky.social•18 days ago

How is the Polish army better than Ukrainian supplied by the West?

sheepstealers.bsky.social•18 days ago

Good point

pdksuz.bsky.social•18 days ago

Nonsensical. There is no way Russia, which is already exhausted by their inglorious war on Ukraine, can take on Europe. In the same vein we don’t need US troops here in Europe, rather not. So to the US: please, please withdraw them by today instead of whining about the cost of their presence here.

deevhutch.bsky.social•18 days ago

Agreed. I'd also love to see the scenario where 35,000 US troops are sent home, fired and then abused by the MAGA'ts.

That has the potential to .... not end well.

xpat70.bsky.social•18 days ago

Then we would all be well-advised to ensure that the Ukraine war does not end favorably for Russia.

lnygranny.bsky.social•18 days ago

Nope , tRUMP WILL SUPPORT RUSSIA

xpat70.bsky.social•18 days ago

When I said ‘we’ I did not mean the US, I meant the free world.

polocodi.bsky.social•19 days ago

Something doesn't add up. Everything indicates that Russia is running out of manpower and equipment due to the war in Ukraine, a front it hasn't been able to break through after three years of trying. Where, sin mia, would the resources to form a new army come from?

lnygranny.bsky.social•18 days ago

The USA, his buddy
🍊💩 yikes!

polocodi.bsky.social•18 days ago

Trump is by no means generous.

doncomer.bsky.social•18 days ago

When it comes
to the Ukraine War,
Trump sucks
Putin's d*ck.
(That's a metaphor.)
I don't know for
certain whether
Trump actually
sucks his d*ck,
but it sure seems
like it.
(Or is it a simile?
I get those two
mixed up.)

annaliisavilppu.bsky.social•18 days ago

Okay, grandpa.

notafkingnpc.bsky.social•18 days ago

Lol anyone believing Russia will attack NATO directly is a moron

yrozengurt.bsky.social•19 days ago

The article does not use OS data of Russian equipment losses and reasonable monthly replenishment stats. It is too general to be taken as a reliable source.

fuckballs.bsky.social•18 days ago

Yeah, I wonder what data they rely on, its weird. Official propaganda numbers?

wildgorillaman.bsky.social•18 days ago

“Prepared”

rosi1959.bsky.social•19 days ago

That's how it will be. That's why I always think, why doesn't NATO end it immediately? The downside would be World War III.

badcyclist.bsky.social•18 days ago

Does Putin really just dislike Russians?
He seems intent on killing as many of them as possible.

sheepstealers.bsky.social•19 days ago

Russia must be destroyed - what fckwit doesn’t understand this by now!

wwyz.bsky.social•19 days ago

sehr richtig!!!👍

dwayne-dribbley.bsky.social•18 days ago

Russia prepares for war with NATO? Is that before or after they replace donkeys within their current logistical plans? Don't make me laugh.

618hoodoo.bsky.social•18 days ago

Like many others before them, the govt and leaders fail, state collapses, so they start throwing their weight about and build up the military, putins problem is he doesn't have the economy to back it up

Typical of coward putin.

alwaysreading30.bsky.social•18 days ago

Russia is so exhausted from Ukraine, I really don’t see that happening (although I’m sure it is what Putin wants).

brinadavegan.bsky.social•17 days ago

...but with US support, they could accomplish anything. 🫤

lnygranny.bsky.social•18 days ago

Has he spoken with
🍊💩?

vector56.bsky.social•17 days ago

After supporting a proxy war that has killed 50,000 Russians & 500,000 Ukrainians Europe should be on edge.

woit.bsky.social•19 days ago

We're all dragging our feet during the preparations, but good always triumphs. Beyond the scooters and mopeds, we'll find the sets and the trompe-l'oeil...

spaller.bsky.social•19 days ago

E-scooters and Scoobie Doo vans are being stockpiled on the NW front.

shaneusa.bsky.social•18 days ago

How the fuck do they plan on doing this ??? As it is they can barely find their way out of a pickle jar 🤷
Talk about asking for an end ..........

simonsays2.bsky.social•18 days ago

That’s why Russia must be stopped now.

dkremn.bsky.social•18 days ago

They need NK

moodywaters.bsky.social•18 days ago

Putin knows something….

lnygranny.bsky.social•18 days ago

oledanielson.bsky.social•18 days ago

DOGE & Hegseth will have given the enemy everything it needs. Remember, the Great Wall of China was not overpowered, its gates were opened from inside.

pcunited.bsky.social•19 days ago

🥱 🇷🇺 media pundits are also threatening, for the umpteenth time, the use of Nuclear weapons. Trump's signals that he won't honor NATO article 5 commitments, is not shared among the majority of our bicameral Congress nor that of voters. One thing we 🇺🇸 learned: Putin can't afford escalating conflicts.

lnygranny.bsky.social•18 days ago

Damn, you know USA WILL BE DRAGGED IN, IN SUPPORT OF RUSSIA!
USA, ARE YOU READY FOR THIS?

meredith-keith.bsky.social•18 days ago

Which side will America be on?

deevhutch.bsky.social•18 days ago

Depends on which side buys the most TrumpCoin.

browolstenholme.bsky.social•18 days ago

Trump and his lackies will side with Russia.

But sane Americans will not.

agtomcat.bsky.social•19 days ago

The Russian army, or what remains of it, will have ceased to exist once it has crossed the Polish border...

cheyenne2612.bsky.social•19 days ago

Mais, ça ne doit pas nous empêcher de nous préparer.
De toute façon, les premiers, à souffrir, seront les pays baltes. Facile, ce sont des pays de petites surface. Et, ils sont totalement cernés.
Russie.
Kaliningrad (la pire monstruosité)
Biélorussie
Et, Pologne prête 🤞 à défendre.

agtomcat.bsky.social•19 days ago

Bien entendu. Il faudra une mobilisation de toute l’Europe.

cheyenne2612.bsky.social•19 days ago

Et, j'espère bien qu'il n'y aura pas de discussion sans fin.
Objectivement, je pense que nous sommes à la veille du pire jour de notre vie. 😞

oriel449.bsky.social•18 days ago

Mm, ok sure. Fight with turtle tanks and soldiers on crutches.

schmeisy.bsky.social•18 days ago

That damn pee tape will be the end of Western democracy.

browolstenholme.bsky.social•18 days ago

What with? Sticks and stones and cope cage covered Ladas?

pegbush.bsky.social•18 days ago

IMHO Russia is on the verge of economic collapse. They can rattle sabers a lot, but Russia is not a country with the where with all to start another war.

notimeforbs.bsky.social•18 days ago

Don't worry guys, I've got this..
"Vladimir Stop"

dolorosasantos.bsky.social•18 days ago

No, Russia and North Korea eye a military conflict with NATO.

Putin's done shot his load of Ruskie males into the dirt of Ukraine.

Putin and Russia have never been weaker.
EU should give Zelenskyy all Ukraine requires to off Putin once and for all.

Putin goes, war ends.
Putin goes, Trump goes.
