What next for Putin?

Jimbuna · 03-31-14, 11:34 AM

I doubt Russia would have as much trouble taking Finland as they did in 39/40.

The burning question must be...if Russia does invade, what will the west do about it?

Nothing much the UK could about it as we have only few 1000 regular soldiers thanks to a certain party...............

If he tries to invade anyone going after Eastern Ukraine is still the best bet. Only reason I could see him going after Finland is to make sure that the Karelian Isthmus is better protected.

I doubt it would be a boots on the ground campaign but more of an air and sea strike campaign (UK wise).

Worst case scenario of course.

We only got two ships and one of those is searching for that crashed plane.

We could always borrow that carrier off the French...provided they also supply it with aircraft

Anybody here play LOMAC? This is one of the scenarios we have war-gamed for years!

I read somewhere today that ever-neutral Switzerland has more MBTs than we do.

Do not go crazy! Better look at the neo-Nazis in the Ukraine and in any legalization of homosexuals and pedophiles in Europe. Is this normal? And Europe is afraid of Russian late, had to fear in the Soviet Union.

Indeed. I heard Obama and Putin had a conversation this weekend, and as always I'm sure it went well.

This.

He's not doing Finland, unless it's some sort of Red Storm Rising scenario.

Plus, those ferrets are pretty tough, so I wouldn't mess with them. Perkele!

Of course they would, after all "Those who do not want war must have the means to make do so".

Starting to feel like Hitler, the games then invasion. I don't think Putin is dumb, but he knows our will is limited and Obama is weak, so now is the time for him to act. Like Hitler, I think he may create a crisis, have his forces create an attack on himself and with excuse take Ukraine. Still, I think that is unlikely. I think he is saber rattling to keep Crimea without issue.

I dont see him going after the Baltic states, members of Nato and that would have to be war. The scary thing if this area flames up, we could be looking at our next WW...

Just to be safe I'm gonna stockpile coffee, sugar and creamer..
