War in Ukraine

[LouderVol]

one of the reasons putin rejected the breakaways being annexed before is because he could get away with doing a lot of **** there that isnt legal in russia. like executions, and conscripts being sent to the front.

Plausible denialability, at least on the home front, is an important part of war.

Same reason you see the Wagner Group pop up so much. Keeps his shady BS away from the Russian state. Even though it’s not fooling anybody as anyone with any common sense equates Wagner with Putin

I mean we've done a lot of similar ****, but I'm not naive enough to think that just because i believe my own country and its intelligence agencies and military have been shady as **** that it means some dude ruling over our historical enemy of old is the second coming of jesus

Its a general attitude, when you say things don't make sense (not logical) when Congress and U.S. military say the same thing. The U.S. military has said there is no winning a battle there.



No they won't which is why you won't see NATO troops there in mass and they tried the creep with the Ukraine. You (nato) ain't suppose to be in the Ukraine, if you go there... they will nuke it as that is their defense. If you (NATO) show up in mass on their shores, they will use tactical nukes.

Its not complex, its very simple... 1.) they will not be invaded 2.) ukraine is the landing spot if nato troops use that area 3.) if you (nato) try and invade any other way, tactical nukes

Not sure what there is to understand, if the United States was being invaded by a superior and outnumbered force... I would hope they would use tactical nukes as well.

Yes, they will use tactical nukes if the need arises, their whole defense is built on it. See Congressional Record. They are not going to go through WW2 again with what the Germans did i.e. invasion. What exactly do you think the world's largest tactical nuclear force is for?

There never was a treaty as far as tactical nuclear weapons and for good reason.

It’s lunacy to think anybody might want to invade Russia. Except maybe China.

True but let's be honest, the United States really isn't spreading love around the world. I mean if you and the United States really feel this way, they could have cut off Russia a long time ago.

You don't really care. <----

I mean what is evil to me, is the United States spending all that money/time/resources to stop Russia, yet they don't give a **** about all the invaders coming into this country and committing crimes.

Different measures and ways.

What's going on at the border is criminal. But that doesn't have a thing to do with the price of tea in China.... As the saying goes.

Another slip and fall in Russia

Vodka could explain that one.

Just sayin’

According to BBC, armed soldiers are going door to door, asking people to tell them how they want to vote, and the soldiers are recording their responses.

All these young men fleeing Russia. Have to assume many are professionals. I am sure they will recover from the self inflicted brain drain with no problem

Just makes your heart warm to see such a Democratic non pressured process in action.

Any video evidence?

Sure is Curly. Just watched it on the evening news.

Let me guess, then it’s “you guys believe anything you see on the internet”.

Videos popping up all over the Internet now. This is a sham vote. But I'm sure we'll be told it's legit by the usual suspects.

Yeah right.

-signed Syria, Iraqi, Afghanistan, Panama, Grenada, Libya, Serbia, Yugoslavia, Somalia, etc.

This is a sham vote, said the ignorant person on the other side of the world.

Why forget to reference the “videos popping up all over the internet” part Larry? On the evening news I watched security camera footage of pollsters “escorted” by armed soldiers going door to door to poll the residents. Accounts were given that the soldiers pointed on the ballot with their muzzle where to vote. This is playing out exactly as everyone knew it would and no amount of your Pootin sack carrying can change that information coming out.

 

[apevol]

can someone remind me how many times the Soviet union invaded another warsaw pact country?

Maybe you should worry more about your own house is the gist of it. LoL I mean under United States policy, the Russians should be welcomed with open arms by the Ukrainians.

None of this makes sense, nobody really cares. Not much is going to change other than insignificant details in the Ukraine.

 

[NorthDallas40]

Any video evidence?

Here you go Curly. The story provided with this video had residents saying those soldiers pointed with their gun muzzles on how they recommended the residents vote. You’re quite welcome!
