History . Napoleon The H man and 27 million dead Soviets who saved us from Naxzi domination facing the strongest & best German forces would point towards the fact that Russia will not be beaten on its own territory. Repeated now with the NATO forces in Ukraine.
The battle of Britain could be a well know analogy - massive overwhelming attacks, UK pushed to the brink, but the Germans suffered disproportionate losses and their offensive was ultimately unsuccessful.
Peace now could well be akin to peace in October 1942 (Alamein), or June ‘43 (Kursk). Lots of gains for Germany just around the point it would otherwise start losing. Though Lease lend seems to have been much more reliable than western support seems to be this time. 🤷🏼♂️

Russia did not send advance notifications to the United States or other countries about the use of the Oreshnik hypersonic missile on a Ukrainian military-industrial facility as there are no such obligations, Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov told TASS. "No, there have been no notifications, for Russia has no such obligation with regard to intermediate-range missiles," the spokesman emphasized.
What were the terms that ended the First Russo- Chechen war and did Russia ever breach them? (Obviously, I mean ‘breach them’ BEFORE Russia started the Second Russo-Chechen war). 🤦🏻♂️
Russia has broken international law many times. Russia must expect a response and push back to protect those laws. Russia should not itself provoke. Leave Ukraine now.
@@corecollapse4726 Not in this case - NATO is providing the weapons to prevent a murderous Mafia regime from benefiting from its violation of international law - any other stupid questions?
Hahaha. I have actually reduced my work hours so i don't have to pay taxes for this facade. While the begging bowl man becomes a millionaire we let our country decline.
The missile used was an Oreshnik (Hazel) experimental hypersonic intermediate-range ballistic missile (IRBM) that strikes at Mach 10 speeds, making it impossible to shoot down. The IRBM used normal explosive munitions this time (bombarding a State Space Agency of Ukraine aerospace manufacturer called PA Pivdenmash in Dniper with deadly accuracy) but it could just as easily use nuclear munitions next time. This was a warning by Russia to the West that they are not bluffing. Sadly, DC loonies won't stop with this crazy escalation spiral until they see a mushroom cloud. They still think that they can stop this madness at the last moment.
