    USSR invades Ukraine.

    Nothing has happened that's anywhere close to reaching the threshold for Russia to use nuclear weapons so far. In the event that Ukraine captures a Russian NPP, and likely the tactical nuclear weapons storage facility also within Kursk Oblast is a different matter though.

    From the FT Ukraine is pulling troops from the East for this adventure. Basically admitting the east is lost.

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    Probably about 10x what Ukraine committed to this op at least. Realistically though, I think if Ukraine got close to capturing Kursk NPP they would get glassed

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    There's no evidence the Russians have transferred forces from other combat zones though, and Russian advances have picked up pace if anything in Donbass. Meanwhile, the Ukrainians have cobbled up a total of 1 heavy brigade for this escapade, with a mish-mash of armoured vehicles. It appears...

    Last season the midfield/defence issue was clear to see and it's not been addressed. Allen in the starting 11 today was big red flag. Not going to criticise him as I just don't think he's good enough for the level we are aiming for - that's on MR for picking him and/or Doug for not ensuring a...

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    They have advanced further but to what end? The Russian Kharkov offensive is unlikely to be an attempt at taking the city given the forces committed, but more a fixing operation to force ukraine to spread its already thin manpower even thinner. The Ukrainians may have the same intentions here...

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    Wagner got nowhere near Moscow. The Sumy/Kursk border region is lightly defended on the russian side by conscripts - one of the reasons too there's been a decent number of POWs taken by the Ukrainians. This will swing around when Russia brings reinforcements into play. Ukrainian defences are...

    Even if we give her the benefit of the doubt and say she didn't actually mean what she said, she deserves locking up for the stupidity of it. Why on earth would you post something like that?
