Along hundreds of miles of roads with resistance members posted along the way.

2. Just curious, just how much more hardware can Russia bring into this theater (outside the

prestaging areas)?

5. I know everyone is concerned about WWIII but NATO could end this in a few short days

I just don't think Putin would launch nukes. I think he would use it to try to build stronger nationalistic support in Russia.

Going nuclear over something like this just doesn't make sense.

I almost think if NATO gave him a 5 hour warning that he would back-track. And maybe they could do it behind the scenes so he could react without the world knowing why.

8. I think you are right.

If Putin would start a nuclear war over Ukraine, then he may have already decided to start a nuclear war -in which case intervening in Ukraine would be the best option.

13. Sometimes it's good not to have a blabbermouth POTUS

[lpbk2713]

6. With 90% of his force in a log jam and stuck in the mud.

Putin must be real confident no one will attack the Kremlin.
