NATO was formed in 1949 for one reason and one reason only, to protect European countries from invasion from Russia. After the cold war and the breakup of the USSR as we knew it NATO wasn't dismantled, instead they became a different kettle of fish . Globalist's whose only aim is to control gas, oil and pipelines .

USSR 'collapsed' but remained as the CIS. Their nuclear arsenal and policy remained. Remember that USSR was similar to Imperial Tsarist Russia.

That sounds like the biggest load of shiettt ever.

It will take some convincing that Russia, even if they figured only for a few days of punch ups, wont be able to supply military hardware beyond that.
It's a ludicrous notion.

True but now this war is all about, supply. Can Russia do it on their side and can Poland/Romania do it to the point where it kills the Russia.

Hadn't seen this link posted before unless i overlooked it but looks like some interesting info there.

  • Russian forces coming north from Crimea halted their drive westward toward Odesa, and Ukrainian forces have retaken the critical city of Kherson. Some Russian troops remain west of the Dnipro River and are advancing on Mikolayiv, but the main axes of advance have shifted to the north and east toward Zaporizhie and Mariupol respectively.

Institute for the Study of War

Russian forces’ main axes of advance in the last 24 hours focused on Kyiv, northeastern Ukraine, and southern Ukraine. Russian airborne and special forces troops are engaged in urban warfare in northwestern Kyiv, but Russian mechanized forces are not yet

Going to work their way up the Dnieper & try hold the east side of that perhaps.

It seems the Ukrainians are doing hit and run strikes on support convoys. They let the tanks through. Then when the support vehicles come along, they take them out.

It is possible that the Russian forces are in poor shape. There have been some videos of captured Russian POWs and they looked like 40+ year old, obese guys.

Russians often do things half ar$edly. So it's possible that logistics are not good and have also been hit by Ukrainians.

Supply, Russia hasn't even opened the lid of the cookie jar yet. Let alone gone into the stash in the pantry.
This discussion of them being short of supply or stretched in resources is utter rubbish.

You do know that diesel has to be brought in by tankers, right? Tanks are gas guzzlers. You know that it's easy to hit supply trucks? Right. You know that Ukraine is big, right?
