Current Affairs Ukraine

[PhilM]

We had at least one nuke ready to go with Tokyo's name on it.

The will to continue the fight did not exist, which is why we got Kennan's policy of containment rather than a drive on Moscow. We also sat the Chinese Civil War out due to a lack of political will, which combined with MacArthur's blunder (in defiance of Truman's orders) gave us Korea instead.

They'd have had one more weapon ready by mid to late August, so you're talking about two to three weeks after Nagasaki; more were expected in September.

However, evidence suggests there use had become questionable in the corridors of power, which meant they were unlikely to be used unless truly required.

In terms of Russia, a fair few blunders and political infighting within 1944 and 45 meant we didn't drive to Berlin as we should have done.

I do wonder how would history look like if it was Austrian Habsburgs that unified Germany, instead super militaristic and efficient Prussians, after all they were old leaders of German world before Bismarck displaced Austria with his wars.

Unlike Prussians, famed for their efficiency, discipline and organization, old Habsburg Austria was always chaotic thing, 12 plus different languages with incredibly complicated beaurocracy. Wonder how would their version of Germany look like.

It's a good question really, but on the other hand a drop in the bucket of what ifs. The one I've came back to a few times is the Saar Offensive.

Legitimate action there and then by the French forces, supported by Britain, could have stopped the war in its tracks.

Another big fire reported at a Russian chemical plant.

Hmmm I smell a rat

Is it waving a false flag?

Too much of a coincidence for me. Somethings brewing.

Either that or a team of Ukranian pyromaniac special forces are tear-arsing around Russia in a souped-up trabant, burning stuff down.

Domestic sabotage?

lollollol

Domestic sabotage?

Possibly, there are a lot of native Ukes living in Russia

 

[PhilM]

TBH, I am very surpised the Ukes have not taken it to Russian territory a lot more. They have weapons and could easily get in and out, blow up some important things and do one, back in time for tea.

Before talking about reprisals, it’s perception: Russia the aggressors and Ukraine the defenders. Add to that the politics of seeking weapons.

Attacking supply lines within Russia (sabotage of railway signals is an effective tool) would be the easiest way of having a large impact.

Trabis were East German, more likely to be a Lada in Russia!

Hopefully the latter

Yeh, they must have had to bite their lip so to speak to not exact some sort of revenge on russian soil for that very reason

Indeed, a point I made earlier….expect more of this…..

That’s two key facilities in two days. A false flag operation would not have gone after these two I would have thought….

Recollections (especially internet based ones) may vary on this and - shock horror - not everything that has been written is on the internet*
*depends what you've read pre internet, how accurate it was even then and, finally - did it seem likely, aka, do you believe it.

After what was found in Bucha I fear about the atrocities that will be found in Mariupol One can only commend the good job private satellite companies have done providing all these imaginary of the war, that hopefully will serve as evidence for the war crimes that Putin and his forces have conducted in Ukraine.

Mass grave near besieged Ukrainian city Mariupol spotted from space (satellite photos)

The makeshift burial ground apparently began taking shape last month.
