Re: Bravo Putin! Russian Army can overrun Kiev within 2 weeks if he wants, EU US warn

If one is lucky, your scenario will occur. Consider these other quick invasions:
  • Nazi Germany's swift occupations / invasions of Austria, Sudentenland, Poland, France, Holland, Denmark, etc. - they must have seemed unbeatable!
  • Fascist Italy's not so swift invasion of Ethiopia
  • Imperialist Japan's swift victories in SEA
  • Iraq's 1-2 day invasion of Kuwait.

What happened to the perpetrators of those swift military actions?

mission accomplished and ten years of fuckery and 1.4 trillion in debt?

Russia's military is a behemoth. To accomplish this is a matter of want or don't want. But how to hold on after that? The Ukranians will not want Russian rule and will carry on fighting a guerrilla war. Occupation will be much more difficult than invasion. It will cost Russia dearly to attempt this. I have met Ukranians before, none of them like Russians. Actually, they hate them.

Cheers!

You joker! Why feed people when you can slay them?

You mixed up badly between Obama-Care and Putin-Care. Extreme mistake!

Look at the warmongers gathering to discuss war/
_77374020_023743381-1.jpg

They are the one who started this crisis. Using their media to make it as Russia started the war.
When warsaw bloc disbanded, NATO keep expanding. Now they pretend they want to make Russia their partner. What a joke.

His threat is real. Just look at the Ukrainian military right now. Russian send in a few commandos and some supplies + untrained rebels, the Ukrainians can't even stop them. If the Russians send in a real invasion force, they should easily overrun the country

Real your lan!

That is if..if Uncle Sam stand by just to watch. If Uncle Sam would to lay out all their weapon less than of mass destruction , they will line from Putin east side border to his West.

And Ah Sam, not the OKT boss in this forum, would send Putin back to the Stone Age as they did to Saddam! LoL

Vladimir Putin has boasted to European leaders that his forces could sweep into Kiev in two weeks if he wanted.

The Russian president reportedly made the threat to the European Commission president during talks on the Ukraine crisis.

Mr Putin told Jose Manuel Barroso: “If I want to, I can take Kiev in two weeks,” Italy’s La Repubblica newspaper reported, implying this could be the result if the EU stepped up sanctions against Russia.

His comments, relayed by Mr Barroso to colleagues at last weekend’s EU summit, emerged as Nato announced it would build a new “spearhead” rapid reaction force of up to 4,000 troops that can be flown into eastern Europe in 48 hours to respond to possible Russian aggression.

The EU’s new head of foreign policy, Federica Mogherini, also warned there was no military solution to what is now Europe’s biggest crisis in decades.

Anders Fogh Rasmussen, secretary general of the alliance, said Nato faced multiple crises on its southern and eastern borders that could erupt at any time.

Leaders of the alliance’s 28 members are expected to agree to the new force at this week’s Nato summit in Wales, and it is likely to include British troops.

The spearhead force is part of a package of measures to sharpen up the alliance as it faces crises in Iraq and Ukraine.

A senior Nato official said allies would take turns to command the spearhead and many of the arrangements would be in place by the end of the year. Troops would be based in their home countries and come together when necessary.

The summit will agree to stockpile supplies in eastern Europe so that equipment and ammunition are waiting for the force when it arrives.

The alliance will also boost the number of exercises in the area, so that troops are constantly cycling through it. Mr Rasmussen said the new spearhead force would “travel light and strike hard if needed”.

MH17: crucial crash evidence may already be lost
A man covers his face with a rag as deputy head of the OSCE mission to Ukraine Alexander Hug, center right, stands outside a refrigerated train while members of Netherlands' National Forensic Investigations Team inspect bodies in Torez, eastern Ukraine. A team of Dutch forensic experts, accompanied by OSCE inspectors and guarded by rebel soldiers arrived 21 July to check the remains of the plane crash victims. The MH17 victims' remains are stored in refrigerated railway coaches and are to be taken to a laboratory in Kharkiv, more than 250km north of the crash site and far from rebel-held territory. Senior OSCE members and Dutch forensic specialists were allowed by separatists to check the bodies after being loaded into the wagons.
