This is such a hilarious/pathetic narrative because not only is it made up out of thin air, it's simultaneously insulting as sheet to Russia, who, apparently in your mind, is both the world's greatest superpower and so thoroughly cucked by the US that they're powerless to stop themselves from invading a sovereign nation because...words. Sadly, the Russian propoganda machine has made their population believe that if they didn't strike first, they were going to be invaded.

The saddest thing is that that Russian propaganda extends beyond simply their own population (which isn't terribly surprising, since they're not exactly a free speech bastion) but has made headway in our country, and that's 100% on the far right media.

There's tons of videos detailing the facts of recent history. The idea that Russia just decided to invade a neighbor for no reason is a story made up for imbeciles who's attention span is no greater than that of a gnat. Yeah, Ukraine was totally on the precipice of joining NATO in 2022. You know who's definitely joining NATO now though? Finland and Sweden. And when all this is over, Ukraine will be much closer. Pretty stupid for Putin to get out over his skis this much. He probably should have accepted he's dictator of a 3rd world country with little more to offer the world than exploitation of its natural resources and some porn stars. Russia's glory days are behind it.

Choking her to death won't bring her back.

What? Is that wrong? You joke about this but Ukraine is being sacrificed for Anglo-Saxon hegemony. They are literally dragging the few remaining men from the streets and forcing them to the front without any training. Those thugs doing the pressganging are being paid by the U.S. government. If it were not for the billions in blood money keeping this regime churning, this war would be over. Ukraine is finished. The parasites are draining the Ukrainian corpse of the last drop of blood. This amounts to genocide.
March 1, 20232 yr 16 hours ago, TEW said: He’s obviously wrong. We aren’t getting into a direct war with Russia. Ukraine isn’t a NATO member and Russia isn’t going to attack a NATO member. Hitler only wants the Sudetenland. Once he has that, he will stop. I believe this is peace in our time.
March 1, 20232 yr 14 hours ago, JohnSnowsHair said: No, that's not what he's saying Ian. He's saying that if Russia is not stopped it will continue in its imperial ambitions to where the US will be drawn into a hot war with NATO allies. If Ukraine succeeds, Russia will be exposed as a pathetic shell of its former self. He's banking on his fat orange god stealing the next election and pulling us out of NATO like he was going to do in 2021.

This amounts to genocide. Russians and vatniks like you act like the west has been scheming for decades to goad Russia into a hot war. That's some laughable projection based on misplaced ethnocentrism on the part of Russia. Since the cold war ended, western European nations have reduced military spending and increased economic cooperation with Russia. Most notably Germany, only the most powerful economic nation in Europe. Europe has made every reasonable effort to bury the hatchet so to speak (not in the ice axe to the head kind of way). All that was required was a Russia willing to act in good faith and ... not try to act like the cold war was still going on or, ya know, invade sovereign nations. This ridiculous fantasy that NATO was fishing for a war with Russia is ludicrous. It's an entirely manufactured narrative Russian autocrats have used to not only foster this delusion that Russia is under threat (fear-based rhetoric to feed nationalist sentiment), but to justify any military endeavor imperialist minds in the Kremlin decide on.

And of course he'd do it under the guise of "It's the only way to make other NATO countries start pulling their weight!" while ignoring the fact that, under Biden, other NATO countries have dramatically ramped up their military spending/production.

I don't think anyone would have predicted 20 years ago that the democrats would become the party of national security and a strong military while the republicans would be the party of communist and fascist appeasement.
March 1, 20232 yr 1 hour ago, Talkingbirds said: Correct by Putin. How is that possible if Ukraine is winning the war? More reinforcements, some of them teenagers, thrown into Bakhmut even as the noose tightens. As many as 3k will be trapped inside this cauldron.
