I'd call it a wishful thinking, but I think that if things do go their way, they will absolutely try it.

  1. Russia calls up 200,000 more troops

On top of the 200,000 he just did in Nov? Or the 500,000 he did in April? Or was it the 450,000? I don't think it is going to make a difference unless Russia deploys something new.

  1. It launches a spring offensive against Ukraine.

Note: Also have to win the spring offensive, which Russia is still not able to break through. That might change if Ukraine doesn't get it's funding.

  1. Cyberattacks against Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania, and stiring up Russian nationals who live in those nations

Note: This was the Ukrainian attack plan too.

  1. Using those Russia nationals as a pretense for saying the (Baltic?) are rightfully theirs a military exercise called Zapad 2024 is launched with 50,000 Soldiers moving into Belarus.

When they say Russian nationals, they mean, using the local population in further meat wave tactics. Whether they want to or not. Either way, if Russia has gotten to this point, then 50,000 is still a very low number. It is going to take a lot more.

  1. Taking advantage of the transition period after the US election Russia claims "Border conflicts" forces it to take control of the (Suwalki Gap?)

Basically he expects there to be discord during the elections no matter who wins or loses. Hypothetical at best.

  1. War with nato. In 2025

And all of this is supposed to happen in less then a year. Outside of China and India joining the conflict, or Russia Pulling out a new super weapon, it's a plan, but it takes into account so many layers and "what ifs" that by the end you are left with a sliver of predictability at best.

I'd bet on winning the lottery over Russia's wishful thinking.

Yes, but to be perfectly honest, February 24 attack on Ukraine seemed quite noncredible to western military intelligence too.

A community for your defence shitposting needs

Rules

1. Be niceDo not make personal attacks against each other, call for violence against anyone, or intentionally antagonize people in the comment sections.

2. Explain incorrect defense articles and takes

If you want to post a non-credible take, it must be from a "credible" source (news article, politician, or military leader) and must have a comment laying out exactly why it's non-credible. Random twitter and YouTube comments belong in the Low Hanging Fruit thread.

3. Content must be relevant

Posts must be about military hardware or international security/defense. This is not the page to fawn over Youtube personalities, simp over political leaders, or discuss other areas of international policy.

4. No racism / hatespeech

No slurs. No advocating for the killing of people or insulting them based on physical, religious, or ideological traits.

5. No politics

We don't care if you're Republican, Democrat, Socialist, Stalinist, Baathist, or some other hot mess. Leave it at the door. This applies to comments as well.

6. No seriousposting

We don't want your uncut war footage, fundraisers, credible news articles, or other such things. The world is already serious enough as it is.

7. No classified material

Classified information is off limits regardless of how "open source" and "easy to find" it is.

8. Source artwork

If you use somebody's art in your post or as your post, the OP must provide a direct link to the art's source in the comment section, or a good reason why this was not possible (such as the artist deleting their account). The source should be a place that the artist themselves uploaded the art. A booru is not a source. A watermark is not a source.

9. No low-effort posts

No egregiously low effort posts. These include Social media screenshots with a title punchline / no punchline, recent (after the start of the Ukraine War) reposts, simple reaction & template memes, and images with the punchline in the title. Put these in weekly Low effort thread instead.

10. Don't get us banned

No brigading or harassing other communities. Do not post memes with a "haha people that I hate died… haha" punchline or violating the sh.itjust.works rules (below). This includes content illegal in Canada.
