Are you sure? Because you guys are all so sure.
That’s what I heard anyway. It’s not like it’s easy to get news on the Hunter laptop info. Who much did you think the Big guy got?
For what? How much big guy got for what?
You never looked into Hunters quotes about the “big guy”?
I can read the nypost promotions of Ms devines book just fine. What exactly did he get the cut for? Which deal
It’s hard to tell when the FBI and press ignore it. Don’t ya think?
From the BBC
"The New York Post cited a purported email from Hunter Biden in August 2017 indicating he was receiving a $10m annual fee from a Chinese billionaire for “introductions alone”, though it is unclear who was involved in the alleged introductions.
Another purported email, which Fox News said it had confirmed, reportedly refers to a deal pursued by Hunter involving China’s largest private energy firm. It is said to include a cryptic mention of “10 held by H for the big guy”.
Fox News cited unnamed sources as saying “the big guy” in the purported email was a reference to Joe Biden. This message is said to be from May 2017. Both emails would date from when the former US vice-president was a private citizen.
A former business associate of Hunter Biden has come forward to say he can confirm the allegations."

Ukraine is between a rock and a hard place. They only have about 57 fighters, only 25 land attack fighter bombers and another dozen or so Turkish made armed drones. They have Russian ADA missile systems, but that means the Russians know those systems inside and out. Russia will seize total air superiority over the Ukraine within 3 hours of initiation of Combat. Most of Ukraine’s air force will probably never get off the ground and what does get in the air will be out numbered 10-1 or more. Russia will use control of the battlefield air space to maintain continuous observation of Ukrainian ground forces including long range SLAR to identify attempts by Ukrainian forces to establish resupply points and mass forces. Ukrainian C3 will be a high priority fire and GRU SPETNAZ can be expected to strike at key officials and critical nodes across Ukraine. Russian fighter bombers, bombers and deep strike tactical missile units will have predetermined target lists and will rain fire down on those targets, along with any attempt to mass Ukrainian forces, then shift to direct air support. Loss of the air space battle will make the Ukrainian ground forces nothing but targets to be isolated and neutralized. Russian artillery will conduct massive preparatory fires all along Ukrainian front positions. Russia will conduct a broad assault with faints against Ukrainian strong points with mech forces, but will seek armored break through and envelopment at several points along the front. They will conduct deep assault of key objectives and terrain with at least 2 of their elite Air Borne divisions. Ukrainian units will not be able to withdraw, resupply or reinforce. Ukrainian Units in contact will run out of munitions and be rendered combat ineffective within a matter of days, if not hours.
Ukraine would need a real air force (which means trained pilots), massively increased ADA capability to keep the air space contested, massive increases in artillery support, a deep strike capability to bring fires against Russian logistics points in Russian supporting the Russian offensive. And all source intelligence to provide the targets for their fires. There is no time, way, or will to give them any of this.

I would think Ukraine’s only hope is to go the asymmetric warfare route. The Russians would take the cities quickly, but the Ukrainians could disperse into the countryside. Go for the NVA/Viet Cong strategy of resistance.
Issue is that a war like that would drag out for a decade or more and kill more Ukrainians than just surrendering to the Russians and hoping for lenient terms. Long bloody wars tend to make the victorious power less likely to offer lenient terms of surrender.

They could distribute small arms and munitions, including explosives, across the population and promise Russia a steady stream of maimed and dead young Russian soldiers into the distant future. It would probably take Putin’s removal from power in the future to allow that to work.

Well, first of all, thanks.
Second: this is a grim scenario. Should the U.S. continue to provide assistance, or is that good money after bad.
That’s basically what their commanders are saying they are going to do. Open up munition depos and ketbpeople and soldiers go nuts

Several million Ukrainian refugees will probably cross into nations to the West and South, They probably won’t go to Belarus As one of the assaults may well come from there. If this happens at the height of winter, as expected, the Russians can shut off oil and natural gas from Germany to the Russian border. He will shut off the pipeline into Ukraine, He will threaten the shut off the Baltics, Poland and the North line to Germany. He won’t let anything through Nordstream.
Arming them for a partisan struggle is about it. Anything else given them would be for show only.
Not with this damned Administration we won’t. The Socialist Democrat Party enables our enemies like Russia (and China) so it’s a perfect time for any of our foreign enemies to pounce.
And if America loses liberals can kiss their woke behinds goodbye because only in America are they allowed the freedom & liberty to hate their country and work overtime to destroy it.

So how far off is my likely battle plan?
Partisan frothing noted.
Maybe you should try a calming tea.

The fleet and Nuclear weapons makes a direct move against us unlikely. And it wouldn’t be an invasion, but it would involve long range conventional strikes on key infrastructure.
Thanks again, I appreciate your informed opinion

Your welcome, Obviously it was a simplified likely course of action snapshot. I’m sure SHAPE HQ has a much more in depth one as part of the intelligence annex for Eastern European conflicts.
