The last Wars had been all about nation building which is a different form of regime change than the one anticipated by the Russians in Ukraine.
The invasion of Iraq came about 50 years after Secret Services having taken over the birth place of our human society. The area inbetween Eufrat and Tigris is home to the first civilisation with administrative bodies of mankind and way older than Chinese or Egyptian records. If you understand the reason for a registration plate on your ride, you are kinda of an Iraqi and no Barbarian. Just saying...
Jokes aside, do I still suggest an Underground War instead of a direct confrontation and Russian assault into Poland for Berlin and even more Bonn.
And this might be another argument.
Conquered terretory needs nation building and that nation building needs humans and resources. In the special case of Ukraine Russia can be certain that NATO will use every minute of its system decline to build up its arsenal and finally within five to ten years attack Ukraine to liberate it from Russian rule as soon as at least a seasfire is in place.
Iraq and Afgahnistan were different cases of nation building. Iraq was like Somalia. After that one War Lord who found Gfadder Dod in Paris a few years later was removed with his troops the Somalis were able to rebuild their home and so did the Iraqies facing noone to challange their selfrule in opposite to Afgahnistan that turned over decades into a Narco Nation with only Narcos inside staying.
Ukraine has more refugees in Russia than in The West, but also two main powers ready to bomb everything the homecomingers will build up again first best opportunity liberating the homies form one another. South Central and the LAPD, but with Artillery.
There is a simple way to disqualify Ukraine from another war like the current one and this is fortification of the countryside. The Russians were very successful with building strong trench defence lines that were in no way like the WW2 main bunker stretches, but more like aggricultural trenches.
If Russia would use their expectivly continously high amount of soldiers as pioneers, like GIs that build West German housings shortly after WW2 had ended, to rebuild the mainly aggricultural industry with aggricultural products processing workshops and factories based on dual farming and defence use, Russia would not be able to attack NATO in a lack of human staffing, yet create a place NATO would not be able to attack neither with still all those off service needed for a propa gang war..
What you think? Hackers and small Semtex loads with ACP rounds from close distance over 155s in massive masses?
Does that sound great and as exciting as NO FUCKING NUKES ASSHOLES????
