Invaders in waiting: Lurking just off the coast, a menacing armada of seaborne Russian troops is poised to attack Odessa

• Images show Russian assault ships advancing toward Odessa from the Black Sea

Russian assault ships were advancing toward Odessa from the Black Sea last night, fueling fears that the Ukrainian port is Vladimir Putin's next target.

The Ukrainian defence ministry warned that invading forces were poised for a possible attack on the country's third largest city in a move that could open up a corridor to Kyiv from the south.

Landing ships capable of launching tanks and hundreds of troops ashore have been seen off the coast.

Yeah, just saw that on Reddit. It is one thing for someone on a message board to say that. But no sitting US Senator should be suggesting that right now.

I also think Harris's comments during her Europe visit we're a provocation when she suggested it's a good thing Ukraine wants to join NATO more or less. Amateur move. She is inexperienced and doesn't know what she's doing. She gets a pass but not those who put her in that position. They should know better but they play racial politics at the expense of excellence. Those people should be jailed. As bad as he is, Joe has to make it 4 years. We are in dangerous waters.

We know he a clownish warhawk that loves to interfere anyway. He'll say anything he think is popular.

I’m sure it wouldn’t hurt any of our feelings if it actually happened, but that kind of talk by one in his position should be saved for the back rooms of DC, not just blurting it out in public for the media to run with. Zero situational awareness. Stupid.

 

[IluvdoubleD's]

The Daily mail has been accurate all the way through, and us intellengence was telling us they were planning an amphibious run at Odessa.

The rest of you corn holes can **** off.

the irony is that it is one of Putin's favorite tactics - poisoning would be the coup de grace

He's going to be taking that ridiculous giant table with him everywhere he goes.

Putin is probably the most difficult person on this planet to kill right now. I doubt anyone except personal bodyguards get anywhere close to him.

 

[IluvdoubleD's]

Putin LOVES poison. That's really all I can say .

He's holed up pretty good, and has finances laundered everywhere. Don't underestimate the mob.

Boo this man

While not one of their more popular songs, "Ride the Wind" is in my top 10 hair metal list.

Also, their music is super fun to play on guitar. CC was badass.

Wouldn’t it though? Poetic justice.

 

[Matt2496]

Americans are geographically ignorant, historically ignorant and believe everything the media tells them.

I agree Western media is terrible, but you slurp everything coming from Russian state media.

Why can't you just be skeptical of both and not be so hypocritical?

I don't want to derail the thread into a Harris bashing fest again, so I'll leave it at this. I didn't like her in the primaries, and I didn't like when Joe picked her as his running mate.

watching his face get all puffy like the opposition guy they hit

I wouldn’t doubt he has a body double at his disposal.

 

[kiddiedoc]

Back on topic -- I was busy this evening -- Ras, so is Russia trying to just knock out power, is this a smokescreen (like the "convoy"), or are you claiming they didn't really attack the plant?

Judging from her #’s in the primaries no one else did either.

They want to wipe our city off the face of the Earth: As a Father Weeps Over Body of Son Who Was Shelled While Playing Football, Russians Kill Hundreds as troops besiege Mariupol

A shroud of smoke rises over Mariupol as the besieged city reels beneath another relentless bombardment.

And today, among the victims of the indiscriminate shelling was a teenage boy out playing football with his friends. He died before he reached hospital, his father left to weep over his shattered body.

Mariupol – a key Russian target because of its port and location on the Sea of Azov – remained surrounded by Russian troops last night and under a barrage of shellfire which has destroyed properties and cut off power and water supplies.

Hundreds are feared dead in the battle and a local official accused the Russians of wanting to wipe the city off the face of the earth.

Its seizure would allow Russian-backed separatist forces in eastern Ukraine to join forces with soldiers in Crimea – the peninsula forcibly annexed by Russia in 2014.

Stupid. If Hannity didn't call him out then he is weak. Now maybe it took Hannity offguard but I I need to see if this was the end of the interview. That merited a follow-up.
