10 Realities of Ukraine

by Victor Davis Hanson

 

 

https://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2022/03/17/10_realities_of_ukraine_147345.html

 

One -- Reassuring an enemy what one will not do ensures that the enemy will do just that and more. Unpredictability and occasional enigmatic silence bolster deterrence. But President Joe Biden's predictable reassurance to Russian President Vladimir Putin that he will show restraint means Putin likely will not.

 

Two -- No-fly zones don't work in a big-power, symmetrical standoff. In a cost-benefit analysis, they are not worth the risk of shooting down the planes of a nuclear power. They usually do little to stop planes outside of such zones shooting missiles into them. Sending long-range, high-altitude anti-aircraft batteries to Ukraine to deny Russian air superiority is a far better way

 

 

 

Well worth taking the time to read.

 

 

Plenty there I agree with, or wouldn't bother arguing against because it's more right than wrong.

Putin sparks fears of new 'Red Terror' in 'Stalin-esque' speech on 'fifth column' traitors in Russia

 

Putin called for a 'self-cleansing' of pro-Western 'scum and traitors' earlier this week

 

He called for a "self-purification" to rid Russia of internal war critics and accused the West of "canceling" Russia on the world stage while claiming Europe has "united" itself with "Hitler’s aggression" against Russia. A banner on the stage read, "For a world without Nazism" in Russian. Before invading Ukraine, he accused Kyiv of being run by "neo-Nazis" and "drug addicts."

Russian war ships aPproaching  Odessa. Where are the anti ship missiles? If Hezbollah could blast an Israeli ship in 2006 I’m sure Ukraine has some weapons waiting in surprise for Putins ships. Perhaps like the defenders of Wake Island in 1941 the Ukrainians are playing it cool waiting for the ships to come in closer to blast them.

The question is why he treats his supporters like they're stupid? Because they are.

Actually Cruz is right and you are wrong again. For a guy who "pays attention" your memory is terrible.

lmao... Explain how Trump's sanctions stopped the pipeline? Did it? 

 

Explain how the United States has any controls over an arrangement that they are not a party to between two different countries on a different continent?

Well, yeah Dr. Caroline.  Anyone that looks into Jack Posobiec for 10 minutes will find out he's a dime-a-dozen alt-right stooge whose opinion on basically anything is safely ignored.  There are far more rational commentators on the conservative side of the political spectrum.  Posobiec is a hack among hacks who is only able to exist because Social Media is a cancer.

Posobiec has a dark underbelly.

Putin's war against Ukraine may have spiritual, religious foundations: 'Good vs. evil'

 

Smith heads EEM (Eastern European Ministry), an organization that has supplied millions of Bibles to Ukraine's public schools. 

Yes, Ukraine's public schools — because the Ukrainian government has recognized the value of teaching the Good Book to young, impressionable minds.

 

"Ukraine, to some extent, is kind of the Bible Belt of Eastern Europe. They have been pushing Christian values, they have been standing up for God for a long time, and they've been a beacon of light for quite some time now."
