German Ambassador Says Russia “Would Suffer Huge Losses” in War With Ukraine

Well, they have redefined about everything else now they are redefining aggression and defense.

Seems building up ‘defenses’ on “your borders” because your neighbors are arming up is now called aggression,,, while your neighbors bringing new offensive weapons to your border is called defense.

And all the cannon fodder watching governments putting them in harms way are buying every bite of propaganda dished out.

Just like those dying taking the kill shot because they believe their lying governments many people of these bordering chihuahua states will be in smoldering ruins wondering what the hell happened!

What we have are a few hundred paid off people in the various governments betting the lives of their populations on who has the larger sex organ.

If you want to live then the best government is no government.

The concept of ‘suffering huge losses’ is regularly broached by those whose understanding of modern armed combat is limited to having watched “The Longest Day” all the way through when they were teenagers. They imagine Russian troops surging across the border, a wave of humanity smashing into the defending wave of humanity in a hand-to-hand melee that is missing only swords to be interchangeable with Thermopylae.

Modern nations fight that way only when they have nothing else but ground troops. Russia has enough ground-attack aircraft, artillery and battlefield rocketry that the vaunted Ukrainian army would be ground chuck before the first tanks rolled in, never mind infantry.

Perhaps she meant suffering huge economic losses, meaning more sanctions. Whoopty-doo. Russia is now much better insulated against such childish behavior thanks to Europe’s intractability of the last decade, and its willingness to implode its own economy for the devotion it bears Uncle Sam. As long as Russia has a moneymaker commodity – energy – that Europe will not limit because it would go under if it did. Russia has few worries on that score.

One day Europe will realize that it willingly smears shit on its own face whenever its controllers across the water demand it, and that this doglike obedience brings only lip service and further demands from Washington. But getting back on the subject, Ukraine has no air force remaining to speak of, and what is left would never get near Russian ground forces. Russia would dominate the sky from the first hours, and ground forces without credible air defense are easy meat for air assets which don’t even have to directly attack; they can stand off and direct artillery and Grad barrages which would decimate Ukrainian forces. Ukraine itself would have no ability to see inside Russia and what might be coming up next unless it got satellite info from you-know-who, which it probably would. But knowing what is going to spank your ass next is of little avail if you can do nothing to stop it.

Ukraine – and, apparently, the German Ambassador – thinks a handful of Javelins is some kind of super force multiplier that makes Russia quiver in terror. That’s not the case. Anyone who thinks what stops Russia from rolling over Ukraine like it was a speed bump is cautious respect is deluding himself. What holds Russia back is a complete lack of any objective to conquer Ukraine and a well-grounded certainty that an attempt is just what Washington wants. It is far more likely that Washington will goad Ukraine into an attack to which Russia will have to react, and all the stroking of Ukraine to make it confident it is a mighty military power is part of that process.

Is there any sane person Russia can talk in the West?
