Russia is so lame... This is like those Twitter users who post something and then reply to themselves agreeing but forgot to login as their alt-account.

Last I checked, the Russian army was about 200 kilometers away from the Moldovan border and it doesn't look like they'll get any closer soon.

@Hubi @tal
That's what people said when there was 135, 000 of them on 'manouvers' near Ukraine. Lavrov categorically stated that "We have no intention of invading Ukraine,' as late as 2 days before they invaded. 200km? They could do that in 2 hours or less, easily. Russia has engineered the situation exactly as they did in Donetsk and Donbass. Their intentions are clear.

It's 200 km through Ukraine. They've been trying to get through that span to Odesa for over 2 years.

Their high water mark was the Battle of Mykolaiv in April 2022.

I stand corrected.

Putin to consider fighting a war on two fronts.

Putin to consider doing whatever the fuck he wants because nobody is really stopping him.

FTFY

Which is a fucking lot, much more than he needs to cause global political and cultural damage.

@RedditWanderer
He's already done that.
I was talking about non-nuclear direct military action.
In that regard, his resources are limited.

Laughs in natural gas and china. He might run out of bodies, maybe.

@AllNewTypeFace @tal
Moldova is tiny and defenceless. They would simply fold.

IF Putin can get troops there. Through Ukraine, where the current velocity of the Russian army is roughly 1 km/month (because of massive ammunition shortage on Ukraine's side, otherwise it would be negative). That's going to be a decade or two, then.

He could send them on "vacation" there, guess the weapons will be the complicated part.
