Nice try at deflection, and a poor choice considering why Operation Unthinkable was considered by the british.
But, OK, I'll take the bait as it is vaguely related.
For those that don't know, Operation Unthinkable was not a plan to invade the USSR.
The British government was considering whether they had the ability to oppose the Soviet Union when the USSR decided to ignore the agreements made at the Yalta conference, especially the part about a free Poland. Notice that I didn't say "if", I said "when". That's because pretty everyone knew the USSR was lying then as Russia is now.
Since you brought it up.
Here's their keeping their promise on Poland's free governance after Yalta.
The Yalta Conference ended Feb 11, 1945. "Just weeks later, on 28 March 1945, 16 leading members of the Polish resistance, including the Commander of the Polish Home Army, General Okulicki, and representatives of the Polish Government-in-exile, who had been invited to talks in Warsaw under a safe conduct, were arrested by the Soviet authorities. They were taken to Moscow and, after weeks of torture, were forced into confessing to anti-Soviet activities."
...
Thus, the elections would be postponed for nearly two years: the Communists, propped up by the Moscow-backed regime, used this period to destroy the opposition using violent and repressive measures. Press, radio and speech were subject to strict controls, opposition leaders were arrested under false pretenses and thousands of Poles were incarcerated or murdered by the Polish Secret Police, backed by Soviet security forces and the occupying Red Army. British and American objections against the imposition of a bogus referendum on the abolition of the Senate, the nationalisation of basic industries, agrarian reform and the acquisition by the Polish state of the Oder-Neisse frontier, were treated as an attempt to ‘infringe the sovereign rights of Poland’
Lol at the right wingers supporting Putin. Putin is a eurasianist. He's invited many Turkic and asiatics into Russia from the caucaucus republics. He's very close to the mongolian president and Chinese president xi jinping. He passed some of the toughest hate crimes laws in Russia. His vision for Russia is internationalist, and any racism in russia from Russian neonazis and whatnot is basically suppressed. Ukraine is fighting for the nationalist cause, and for its sovereignty as a nation. if putin wins in Ukraine, I guarantee you Ukraine will turn into another mutt country. Sad to see supposed right wingers support this pro putin regime nonsense.
Russia is not exactly Europian place. When it was Kievan Rus it was Europian, educated and kind place (comparing to the rest of Europe) than it became Mongolian-Turkey place and this mix remains. Russia is a microuniverse by itself. Their history a heritage is not accepted by the West. Kiev is Russia. Just like democrats and republicans are Americans...Ukraina is fighting because their nazis were well paid, bribed by $$. Commies did a lot of evil and not only to Ukraine.

Does this sound familiar to current events?
Polish Army actually occupied Moscow, what it has to do that people like Khrushchev ruled what Ukraine to be. The Unthinkable is what planned for centuries, and still is here when stinking banking system is in crisis again.
A few weeks ago, in response to a post here, I stated that Ukraine should strike Russian military targets wherever they are. Former Allied Supreme Commander Breedlove agrees with me. He said it better than I could and his opinion carries more weight. Other topics include Putin's nuclear bluff and how the USA acts determines how China, North Korea, and Iran act. In other words, if we appear weak and Putin wins, then trouble-making countries know they can do anything they want with impunity because the USA caved into Putin's demands.
Sort of synchronicity.
I mentioned his name today. And came across this not bad older piece
about one of culprits of today's problem. https://www.bitchute.com/video/tuxPFjfuIZPQ/
France is sending light tanks to Ukraine. Macron vows to support Ukraine "until victory." It's great that he has a change of heart. He looked like a fool when he tried to appease Putin with countless meetings and phone calls with the Russian butcher.
Not to be outdone, Germany and the USA also announced they will send Ukraine light tanks. Additionally, Germany will also gift Ukraine a Patriot missile system. NATO Chief: weapons are a way to peace. We should not underestimate Russia.
Russian President Vladimir Putin’s announcement that Russian forces will conduct a 36-hour ceasefire between January 6 and January 7 in observance of Russian Orthodox Christmas is likely an information operation intended to damage Ukraine’s reputation. Putin instructed Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu to initiate a ceasefire from 1200 January 6 to 2400 January 7 along the “entire line of contact between parties in Ukraine” and called on Ukraine to accept the ceasefire to allow “a large number of citizens of citizens professing Orthodoxy” to attend services on the day of Russian Orthodox Christmas. Putin’s announcement was ostensibly in response to an appeal by Patriarch Kirill of Moscow (head of the Kremlin-controlled Russian Orthodox Church) for a temporary ceasefire in observance of Christmas Eve and the Day of the Nativity of Christ. Ukrainian and Western officials, including US President Joe Biden, immediately highlighted the hypocrisy of the ceasefire announcement and emphasized that Russian forces continued striking Ukrainian military and civilian infrastructure on December 25—when many Orthodox Ukrainians celebrate Christmas—and New Year’s.
Well, the pesky fact is, prior to this year, it was always Jan. 7 for them (the orthodox)
True.
I am Orthodox and I usually celebrate with divine liturgy January 7. That is, I am just not that good of a Christian to be perfectly honest, but when I celebrate Christmas and Pascha I follow the Orthodox Julian calendar.
I think that the Ukrainian move to the New Calendar was a smart one. It helps signify the break with the Moscow Patriarchate and Christian unity at home.
I don't think that the Ukrainians should feel any obligation to ceasefire, unless there had been one arranged for the Ukrainian Christmas.
The sad fact is Russia had launched 40 rockets on Christmas Day December 25th when Ukraine was celebrating. They didn't give a hot damn about it at the time.
If the Russians want to take a day off from blowing up hospitals and hockey rinks, they can do that. No problem.
Seems to me this would be a nice way to celebrates the birth of Jesus Christ.
