Ukrainians arming women
I would not like to be the Russian soldiers encountering this group defending their homes
a combat veteran of Vietnam once told me the most dangerous opponents they ran into were Vietnamese women with AK 47s defending their home and children

Well someone at least remembers their history. I mean about.......what happens when the Russians invaded Germany.

Reports are that when the Ukrainians capture Rusain soldiers they are making them call home and tell their families where they are and what is happening.

Biden may not care enough about Ukraine to commit to military action, but there is a line even he will not allow to be crossed because he knows what will happen if it is crossed.

It is doubtful he even knows what decade this is.

Looks like an agreement was reached on blocking "select" Russian banks from using SWIFT, effectively locking up +/- $6.5 billion in Russia's foreign reserves

I watched a video of a Ukrainian woman who was not a fan of sanctions. She said something to the effect of, "If you saw a child getting abused in the next yard, you wouldn't impose sanctions on the guy doing it, you would go over there and kick his arse." 1

my wife is a Red Head from Texas with access to a Chinese Type 56 and 5 loaded magazines
I pity anyone who tries to invade her home out here in rural Clark Co

True, but our pledge of security for Ukraine goes all the way back to the Clinton administration and the 1994 Budapest Memorandum. By forcing Ukraine to become a non-nuclear state (all 175 ICBMs and 1800 nuke warheads were returned to Russia), Clinton, along with the U.K. and Russia, pledged to "respect the independence and sovereignty and the existing borders of Ukraine." The memo reaffirmed the obligation of all three countries to "refrain" from the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of Ukraine. Now we see just how weak a word "refrain" is; typical wordsmithing by greasy Clinton. Like Afghanistan, Ukraine is showing the rest of the world just how unreliable a partner America is proving to be under Brandon's "leadership." I can only imagine how uneasy Taiwan is feeling right now...

Makes you wonder how much money Clinton got from the russkies for delivering their nukes back.

It should be clear to most now, that Ukraine doesn't stand a chance at resisting Russia's invasion and occupation in the short term. We have seen other groups of people engage in long term insurgencies against large occupying agressors. It's a little late for many Ukrainians to prepare for an insurgency now but how would you recommend the next set of victims prepare for a long term insurgency to wear down and drive out a long term occupier?

If you are not stockpiling weapons and ammo.
You are behind the 8 ball.
Even here in the U.S.
Don't you understand why they want gun control here.
This is the reason.
Insurgency is how we will survive.
Just remember guys with sandals and bathrobes and a AK-47 with one or two mags.
Took on the Russian military and the U.S. military for over 20 years.

Putin underestimated the Ukraine. Funny how big government always thinks it will win. Nothing is stronger than the heart of a patriot. Pay attention Bidet.

and I will repeat all the ammo and weapons in the World wont support you in a long term resistance if you don't know how to grow your own food and have an independent water supply
and many Americans won't survive without social interaction
other than my family, I think I talked to a human at the tractor store 3 weeks ago
I can live without human interaction

If you think a government will let you grow your own food you are sadly mistaken.
They will come and take whatever food you are growing in your garden.
As for water .
Well even a occupying government needs water.

So I just saw video on news of Russian tanks heading into Ukraine.
T72 tanks.
Mmmmmm the same POS TANKS THAT IRAQ HAD
I wonder how many A10 thunder bolts it would take to wipe out the Russian armor

even with the Mormons the US government failed at that
I will respectfully agree to disagree with your assessment
at what point are they going to dig up my potato fields?
they mature at 4 different cycles
and chard grows for 18 months
at which point are they going to dig up my chard?
and berry harvest? Raspberries, blueberries, marionberries
at which month are they going to raid my berry patches
I will challenge you do not understand gardening
and you do not understand a farmer with a stockpile of ammo and firearms to defend his harvest
please tell me, who is going to come and raid my potato patch?
right - tell my wife with with her Chinese Type 56 your going to raid her garden!!

 

[Diamondback]

Also, there are ways you can camouflage your crops... all kinds of ideas over at Organic Prepper, like hiding them in plain sight among decorative ones.

and how is anyone going to confiscate water out of my artesian well from the underground water table
let me know how that works

 

[AlwaysOnTheGo]

If the last few days are any indication, I wouldn't underestimate the Ukranians.

A couple articles I found interesting on urban warfare:

And you are stockpiling ammo for that Type 56 right.
