(90,304 posts).. caps or NFZs the air above them will be like it was for US during NAM.
Some anti ship missiles wouldn't hurt either just in case RF goes to cruise missiles which s300s can shoot down too.
Keep arming their unmounted forces, the only reasons it looks like RA can move into places like Kharkiv for instance is the unmounted forces run out of shoulder guided missiles.
Keep arming them with cheap drones for artillery strikes and fixed wing drones seeing they're harder to shoot down with the long range and shoulder fire missiles.
They also need to train their civil forces to shoot and scoot in the cities that aren't leveled by artillery.
Legion forces can back up UKR infantry in civil areas for training and civil work like they were doing crossing that wooden bridge. UKR troops in BDU need to be killing RA vehicles and artillery not helping civilians cross bridges.
Legion forces that come as a unit can also patrol and go after the artillery as long as they stay battle ready and not fractured.
From lurking OSINT ... TOO DAMN LONG ... that's what I'd do ... armchair generating and all

(7,583 posts)WWIII. The people of Ukraine are suffering and it is immoral what is happening. In some countries people literally have been starving for years. And have you seen any pictures of Syria lately? Not trying to diminish the horror we are seeing in Ukraine every day.
Why is this happening? Honestly I can't understand the logic of someone like Putin? Very few people sit around thinking about how or why they could or should attack another country. It seems to be a pastime for wealthy, autocratic leaders who I guess are bored with their money, yachts, mistresses, or family - sure let's go kill some people......
Shit, now you've got me now worried about WWIII

(12,462 posts)Quite yet. And I dont think it will happen. We got Biden. And he's not going to take pooties bait.
However I got some potassium iodide tablets
Just to make myself feel better about this situation .
It may be useful or delay the inevitable.
If ww3 happened I would be dead in short order .
Nothing I could do about it.
If say, I was trying to escape via humanitarian routes to get away from the nuclear explosions or enemy soldiers it could kill me.
Long trips walking for miles day and night and not enough food/ sugar and meds, my diabeties will kill me since I have to eat and drink often.
If I cant keep a steady supply of food water and my meds I am a goner.
And besides that
supply would be contaminated or harder to get a reliably in a war situation. I think the pharmacies would be robbed and the meds contaminated.
If nuclear war happens I will go outside and watch the explosion because I would die in a post nuclear attack world anyway.
Than if I'm not vaporized ,if my apartment is still standing I will take care of my kitty here and love him the very as best as I can,while he's alive.
He would suffer die quicker because it takes less radiation to kill a cat than to kill an adult human.
I will call to Sekhmet and Bast with my last breaths and die with him in my arms .
That is what most likely would happen to me after a nuclear exchange.
But thats not likely to happen.

(14,854 posts)If you really believe WWIII is imminent, or is in progress, then you should already be making reasonable preparations, just as you would for any other emergency.
