I read an article about a theoretical attach on Alaska by Russia a couple of months ago. Needless to say, the US would barely shrug and Russias Pacific Fleet would be at the bottom of the ocean floor.
Scary thing is who is going to replace Putin.

Wagner is pulling convicts from prisons.
The “partial mobilization” has the Russians grabbing old men off the street - prior mil experience or not - giving them a rusty gun, a day of training (if they are lucky), and sending them to the front as cannon fodder.
You have to figure 2-3x the KIA number is wounded, and so total casualty count is around 150% of what they started their invasion with. Which is why they are scraping the bottom of the fucking barrel to put bodies in the way of Ukraine’s counter offensive. The sham annexation referendum is more about being able to conscript all the Ukrainians they didn’t murder during the initial occupation to send them to die for Russia.
Russia is spent militarily and their whole front is likely on the verge of collapse. Either the Russians kill Putin and negotiate a settlement or Putin will pop off some nukes to keep from losing Crimea and the Donbas. And apparently the Biden admin has told Putin that if Russia nukes Ukraine, we will nuke them in response. Fun exciting times to be alive.

Don't quote me on the exact date, but the US military started accepting felons in 2006'ish, you know..when Iraq got really fun.
How many contractors has the US lost in our 20 years war(s)?
And the Russian nuke thing. Bro.. turn off Hannity, Beck and Levin.
Isn't going to happen.
If you have a hard cock to go kill some Russians, set it up with Kurt and I'll pay for your one way ticket to Ukraine. Other than that, stop cheerleading for another war we have no business in, and that you won't fight in.

This means I will get thrown out of a window.
