Hey guys. I'm not an expert on this situation and I haven't been following it very closely.
However, I've been thinking about this recently. Ukraine recently announced that the goal of Ukraine is a return of Crimea and all other territories occupied by Russia and allied forces.
Thing is, Crimea is fully integrated into Russia (de facto). To Russia, Crimea is just as much a part of their country as Texas is to America
If Ukraine keeps attacking Russia on Russia's territory (i.e. bombing Belgorod, Crimea and maybe one day trying to actually invade Crimea) would Russia use this an excuse to fully moblize and send in the bulk of their military? How would that turn out?
Muh '' special military operation ''. Were only using 10% of our Power. Russians are already sending all the shit they can into Ukraine lol. They don't need any reason to justify what they are already doing.
Didn't they only send less than 10% of their manpower? I really doubt that they sent that much more in terms of equipment

Because ukraine is trying to provoke a hot war for their mutt overlords and constantly trying to goad Russia into overreacting, just like with shelling the Energodar nuclear plant.
Russia on the other hand, just have to hold on and keep going, grind down the ukranian army with their brutal artillery superiority, make bank from the oil and gas price hike and watch as the threat of economic collapse forces the EU and the US to the negotiating table as the twitter virtue signalling is replaced with displeasure due to inflation, shortages etc. This also means that Russia is actually striking back and weakening the actual instigators of the war, not just their patsy ukraine.
The fact that Russia still have retarded capacities of arms, men and resources while ukraine is forced to draft its 60 year old at gunpoint and desperately dependent on western gibs to say solvent(and failing) just shows which way the wind is blowing in a war of attrition. Ultimately, Europeans are not going to sacrifice their iliving standards and industry for ukraine. Americans are not going to sacrifice their living standards for ukraine. No one is going to risk a nuclear war for ukraine. Normies will go, "sure ukraine is super important, we are on the right side of history, we support gays, trannies and BLM but we don't want to freeze to death instead of consooming and being an activist lol"
I"m super fucking baffled how larpers keep failing to see this.

>How would that turn out? Badly for russia as this whole 3 day operation has been so far.
Wyatt Gutierrez
yes, it's basically a purge and they are sending the dumbest niggers with no body armor and supplies and tell them to loot shit to survive infallible tactics

checked look at it, OP. the bottlenecks that are those landbridges protect it from invasion. very easy to defend on land. control of crimea also means a strong command of the black sea, meaning an amphibious invasion is next to impossible (sevastopol naval base on the west will fuck up whatever tries to encroach). Mountains to the south. a high population density just north of those mountains. so many reasons why crimea is one of the more impregnable places on earth

> to fully mobilize For what reason?
Andrew Martin
checked was kind of thinking that for a moment. the NATO strat seems to be that they want to bait Russia into overextending, OP even mentions this so why fully mobilize if thats what NATO wants ? at this moment from what i see, russia seems quite safe in their position and they are transitioning the power of the occupied/liberated territories relatively smoothly, all things considered Ivan do you get a sense that the majority of your people would support a full-scale invasion of the whole of Ukraine?
All my friends go on vacation to the Crimea, no one cares.

Jeremiah Wilson
theyve been circlejerking over a 1mil+ army counteroffensive on Kherson for the past 3 months, user. you and i must know its bullshit but that doesnt mean they wont try to poke at prod at the region in order to further provoke them. in any case, you just strawmanned OP's question. he didnt say necessarily an invasion: >Ukraine keeps attacking Russia on Russia's territory (i.e. bombing Belgorod, Crimea and maybe one day trying to actually invade Crimea)
