Vladimir Putin's sabotage of the Baltic gas pipeline is merely the first step in his plan to destroy Europe and NATO.
The next move to severely destroy the livelihoods of European citizens will be the severing of undersea cabled in which economies depend for communication.
After that, it will be destruction of the undersea power cables that, for example, connect Ireland to the UK and the latter to France.
It was a serious mistake to be dependent on a rogue state, Russia, for Europe's energy needs.
Hitler invaded, destroyed and subjugated; Putin knows that raw energy and power to communicate is the ideal way to destroy, subjugate, coerce and control.
Europe is too fragmented to resist him; he is testing European resolve.
The invasion if the Baltic states, by annexation, to reestablish the old Russian empire is this narcissist's game plan. |

The Russian airforce isn't anywhere near as strong as people believe. |

They did use aircraft the the first few months of the invaison when they had air supremency but since Ukraine has been flooded with the latest weapons from the west, this includes anti aircraft weaponary.
They have taken out over 500 Russian planes and helicopters so far. Even more importantly, they have lost alot of pilots which take long time to replace training wise, the sanctions mean they struggle to source the chips and parts to repair the aircraft they have.
Russia has also lost 15 substainal ships in what is effectivly a land war against a country that doesn't havw a navy. |

It's outdated in technology and strategy, it's an airborne artillery depending on target information from ground commanders. Pilots don't have the permission to hunt down the enemy a la Tom Cruise.
And by now Ukrainian airdefense is on steroids with all equipment from the west. |

Im not so sure the Russians blew up the pipelines. It would have been more effective to blow up the new Danish pipelines. I cant understand how any saboteur could get to the target without being detected. The Baltic sea is full of coastal listening stations, submarines and naval ships listening for submarines. What superpower has a sub so invisible it cannot be detected? |

You're making a good point there, there's no proof that they were blown up by the Russians. As Putin has the power controlling the flow, why going through the irreversible act of destroying the pipes? Why cutting off a possible source of income? All bit misterious.
I've read some speculations that the explosives could have been in place quite a long time or even from the get go. |

Their airforce is dated and don’t stand a chance against modern/western air defences. They’re losing a jet a day currently |

Ukraine has total gas reserves estimated at 5.4 trillion cubic meters...
Russia has had a monoply on West Gas supply for a long, long time.
The West has put multiple billions into arming Ukraine and providing aid relief.
There is no such thing as a free meal, so expect to see some of the countries that provided that money to be heavily involved in Ukraines Gas industry and profits for decades to come..
That Russion pipeline may be a future competitor in the supply of Gas from Ukraine to the West so could easiliy be someome outside of Russia damaging it |

There is only one thing that Russia excels at and that is propaganda!
We've spent to long listening to them tell us how big and strong they are, with nonsense like "don't poke the bear".
The reality is they are a weak nation both military and societaly.
Their airforce struggled once Ukraine received any sort of air defence, not even the latest technology.
I woukd also have doubts that Russia attacked Nordstream. I genuinely don't think they have the proficiency to pull that off.

Ive been reading analyses from Czechia, and Slovakia on the explosions. While there is no proof, there is a creeping suspicion that the strategic aim of blowing up the pipelines is to distance Russia from forming business alliances with Germany , and by extension , the rest of mainland Europe. Business alliances lead to tourism, trade, and eventually possibly a Russian/European/chinese business trade pact. That means somebody gets left out in the cold.

Me neither. It just doesn't make any kind of sense. I really don't think Putin's aims involve subjugating Europe or targetting Nation states outside of Ukraine. My feeling is that they have been sabotaged by an agency or country that wants to make it look like Russia to make more enemies of Russia. There is an interview with Joe Biden online from a while back with him basically promising to blow up at least one of those gas supply lines. Impossible to know who is really to blame tho - the fog of war and all that. |

"Russia was forced into war by the west make no mistake bout it."
I'm afraid your massively mistaken. That's Russian propaganda.
If you listen to Putins words, it's quite obvious he doesn't recognise the sovereignty of any former USSR state and if given the opportunity he would invade them all. |

The west has been at war with Russia for years and didn’t realise it
Russian money and interference in the brexit referendum
Russia links to Trump and leaking Hilary’s emails
Both to destabilise 2 of the main players in NATO, now they’re invading Ukraine for the second time |

Apparently the wind of change is seen ambivalently in Russia and support for Gorbachev’s policies is partial . There is a sense that Russia was seen as weak hence Putin’s popularity (vote rigging notwithstanding ).
So the strongman is how needs to appear . Luckily Ukraine not rolling over will put him off further invasions but he ll stay in Ukraine for as long as he can . Any withdrawal will be tarnish his image and legacy |

Yep Ukraine have been developing biological weopans with the help of the US in numerous biolabs, this has been proven, a major provocation for the Russians especially when the US are involved |

The reason Russia is so weak military is because of corruption. Putin has been robbing billions for himself and the oligarchs,which have been getting paid billion from the Russian oil and gas companies,this is why all there money has been frozen.
Russia/Putin depend on the old style of war which worked for them in WW2,by just throwing more men at the problem and by modern warfare standard is just target practice

Russia definitely the innocent party in this war..
, the Covid vaccines are responsible for almost all ailments commonly suffered by those who took it..
, aliens are the top guys running Scientology and Ed Shearan is the secret love child of Elvis who is fit and well and lives in Kerry and can often be found riding Shergar on Stradbally Strand .

Russia doesn't have the firepower or manpower to take on NATO in conventional warfare hence the nuclear sabre rattling 20 years of pilfering by Putin and his minions has turned the Russian military into the shambles that it currently is |

"Can anyone explain to me why he hasn't really used his airforce in Ukraine and mainly used the ground?

They don't have control of the sky
In the initial stages, Ukrainian troops were a little slow off the mark. Surface to air targets were taken out in a classic 1940 attack. Since then the West has flooded Ukraine with mobile anti-tank weapons.
Russian advances were halted with poor logistics and using single columns.
Anyone who has ever served will know that a single advancing column with very few dismounts over open/ wooded terrains is a lucky bag of gently picking them off.
If you move an armoured column into a city, it's Grozny 1995 all over again and Russia won't want that headache.
Since the let downs of the early stages, the Russians have had a logistical nightmare for a special op. That was possibly only planned to last 8weeks max. The call up of reserves shows the need to replace troops but there is one headache, you are using conscripts who are unreliable.
This means, as well as guarding your positions, you now have to watch your own troops slowly incase they desert |
