Resistance
And The Coming Insurgency? The Ukrainians
have a history of insurgent warfare against the Soviet Union.
In post-WWII the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists was
supported by the Central Intelligence Agency and was credited
with killing 35,000 Soviet soldiers, police, and Communist
Party officials. U.S. military doctrine cites a ratio of 50
counterinsurgents for every 1,000 inhabitants. Based on
Ukraine's population, the Russians would need a force as large
as 800,000 soldiers and police to fully pacify all of Ukraine.
The Ukrainian government is prepared to conduct a resistance
movement - you can learn more on their website entitled
Center of National Resistance setup by their special
operations forces command. James Dobbins, a former assistant
secretary of state for Europe, explores this topic in detail.
