Will Putin attack? What would we do if Russia placed missiles on the Canadian/United States border? I guess with Biden the answer would be nothing especially if Russia offers the Biden Syndicate money.
While all this is true, why wait so long to either buy them or produce them themselves under license? Could be that those planes and/or plans simply are not for sale to Russia. Ergo, the pirates code applies. Steal what you can, give nothing back.(Quote source, "Pirates of the Caribbean.")Russia can not make them because Antonov has the expertise and patients. Russia has some aircraft manufacturers capable of making transports, Ilyushin to name one, but the are not as good as Antonov with the exception of the Il-76..
Oh and Russia could afford to buy them with all the money they are making selling gas to Europe, they just prefer to control their sources just like we do. The European A400 is better then most transport planes made today falling between the C-17 and latest models of the C-130. Head and shoulder above the AN-12 and Russia could probably buy a license to produce it. They could also easily buy a license to produce the Chinese Y-20.
Hunter no longer works for the power company. Their usefulness has ended.I like the points you have made, but don't forget that Ukraine is also the Biden's cash cow. He and some of his family have "interest" in what happens to Ukraine.

As far as we know ...Hunter no longer works for the power company. Their usefulness has ended.
I called wag the dog weeks ago.My gut feeling is that Russia will not invade. I feel that this is probably saber rattling to push the price of oil up. I also feel that Biden and Putin are acting in concert, with Biden's purpose being an attempt to divert attention away from the giant mess here in the US.
There is a lot of truth in this. ^^^The Russian military punches well above its weight in subterfuge.
We've been doing it for a while now - and getting our nose bloodied every time.bullies don't attack people who can fight back
we've got more guns than people
There is a lot of truth in this. ^^^
They are masters of generating huge depots of weapons that are inflatables or fake to create a massive build up. All militaries across the globe do the same thing.
