Putin Had A List Of Countries He Threatened To Invade

[left-of-center2012]

Before Vladimir Putin's invasion of Ukraine, which started over a month ago, the Russian president allegedly listed five European nations as possible targets for a Russian take-over as the country had been building up their military strength.

The countries listed in a private threat issued by Putin in 2014 include Poland, Romania as well of the Baltic states of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania.

Putin allegedly told the at-the-time Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko, "If I wanted,
in two days I could have Russian troops not only in
Kyiv (Ukraine) but also in
Riga (Latvia),
Vilnius (Lithuania),
Tallinn (Estonia),
Warsaw (Poland) and
Bucharest (Romania)."

He said it would take Russia only two days to take those six countries.

1. LMAO

[yagotme]

2. Two days. Right.

If he used nukes, yes. Conventionally? He's insane.

[bahboo]

3. delusional little fascist fuck....

[Wicked Blue]

4. Him and what army? nt

[getagrip_already]

8. Simple. With the second best army in Latvia, of course. N/t

[underpants]

5. You never ever underestimate an opponent

Whether it’s in sport or war.
Ukraine learned a lot from the attack in Donbas in 2014. Creating a trained reserve corp is paying off big time.

[PortTack]

20. Exactly! Pootie yawned while every citizen of Ukraine stood up and took notice

[brush]

6. Pootie, boy, you better rethink that. Your army is not that good.

In fact, the Ukrainians have shown the world that it's trash.

[Wicked Blue]

10. He hasn't got much of a military left, if they have to drag conscripts off the street

and hire mercenaries from foreign countries to fight his battles for him.

[plimsoll]

36. They have plenty of reserves.

None of who have been called up, but that may be the point of “denazification” of a democratic neighbor. They’re an existential threat to mother Russia.

[leftieNanner]

7. He Hired Nothing But Yes Men

And then he believed the BS they were telling him about how powerful was their army.

Two days?

I think not.

[brush]

15. Gen. Patraeus and another US general have recently commented...

that one reason the Russian army is so bad is that they don't have a professional class of non-commissioned officers who make the service their careers...the sergeants/corporals who carry out the orders of the officers.

I had no idea that any army would not have non-coms who have years of institutional knowledge.

Conscripts are are a big reason why Russia's army is not doing well. Russia's army doesn't have professional non-commissioned ranks. Their recruits are conscripted for a year and the most promising are trained to be corporals/sergeants, but since it takes six months to be trained as non-commissioned officers, once they're trained there's just a few months left in their year of service and the process has to start all over again with new batch of conscripts.

Unbelievable. And Putin is bragging on his army.

[leftieNanner]

17. Wow. That is shocking.

Plus I think that they have not maintained their military equipment very well so that it is ready to go immediately.

Putin thought to make himself look powerful on the world stage, only to reveal to all that he is very weak.

[PortTack]

23. And his officers who have had little or no military training are given these jobs as a favor for

Being a “good loyal boy.”

[sarge43]

37. Did any Yes Men mention NATO?

You know, an attack on any NATO member would compell all other members to come to its defense.

9. War criminal

11. You dropped your pants, Pootie...

Not much there…in a “conventional” sense!

[TheBlackAdder]

12. One, Two Days Tops!

[DENVERPOPS]

31. Wasn't that Rumsfeld

famous statement???????????? Plus.....Three Billion cost TOPs, then they will quickly pay that back by way of oil revenues.....

[Chainfire]

13. Mockingbird mouth, sparrow ass.

[Gore1FL]

14. I believe he could have troops in all of those places in two days.

My question is how many days would it take to have enough trucks to both supply those forces, and remove all of the "special cargo 200."

[left-of-center2012]

18. It didn't work so well in Ukraine

Five weeks and the Russians still aren't in Kyiv.

[Gore1FL]

19. They were in Kyiv. They got at least as far as the zoo. They just couldn't hold it.

They lacked the ability to supply and otherwise support those troops.

Ultimately though, what you are pointing out was the basic point of my post. I don't take issue with the brag that Putin could insert invading armies into his neighbors. Once he does, he won't be able to supply them or remove the dead.

[left-of-center2012]

22. "you are pointing out ... the basic point of my post"

No, I'm not.
Putin couldn't invade six countries in two days.

OK, bye.

[Gore1FL]

27. My point is it wouldn't last.

Before the sanctions he could have flown them commercially. It'd not hard to get troops across a border. He still couldn’t hold it if he managed, however..


I apologize if it wasn’t clear, but we actually agree.

[left-of-center2012]

32. You say we agree

I disagree.

And with that I'm ending my participation in this conversation.
I am not into debating.

[Gore1FL]

33. OK you disagree with me that Putin's invasion attempts wouldn't last, I guess.

This while time I thought we agreed that it wouldn't. My bad.

[left-of-center2012]

34. Placing you on ignore

I do not play the debate game.
Bye

[Gore1FL]

35. OK. No skin off of my nose

It's weird you choose to do this with people you agree with.

[orwell]

16. Obviously earned a...

...Bragga Com Loudly from Trump University!

[Mr.Bill]

21. We had political pundits here (some ex military)

who said they would be able to take Kyiv on the first weekend after they invaded Ukraine.

[left-of-center2012]

24. "said they would be able to take Kyiv on the first weekend"

Take everything you read with a grain of salt.

[Mr.Bill]

26. It's not what I read, I heard them on cable news.

A lot of so-called experts were caught by surprise with the ineptitude of the Russian army.

[Raine]

25. or NOT ... only in his fevered dreams! 🤣 nt

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

28. He talks through his ass a lot

[CloudWatcher]

29. That's the problem with surrounding yourself with brown-noses

When you surround yourself with ass-wipes, it's hard to tell the truth from the sh*t they are telling you.

[IronLionZion]

30. Putin and Trump are both living in a fantasy world

Those NATO countries are not quite as easy to invade as the American Republican Party.

[Lonestarblue]

38. Putin's army couldn't couldn't take a troop of Boy Scouts in two days!

Or given the fierce Ukrainian women, maybe that should be Girl Scouts.

[Rebl2]

39. Really?

All those countries in two days? Ummmm, really🙄
