WWIII Return of the Ruskie

[dantes]

Ukraine and Taiwan being on the brink of their doom, that doesn't strike you as unbelievable and surreal to see? At what point did this just become part and parcel of running a country? January 2021 perhaps.

Russia returns some troops from Ukraine border amid invasion fears
It comes as Boris Johnson said there is still time to save Ukraine through diplomacy

This just means they've realised they don't need as many troops as they thought.

Honestly I'm not sure the war threat is as real as made out.

But I'm basing this entirely on the fact that my sister in law resigned from CNN because she refused to begin making the case for war just because certain politicians want to make it seem like it's necessary.

100,000 troops to take a country the size of Ukraine? Nah. Unless they just want a bit more than what they've already got.

It's tough to tell honestly...

The whole thing could be a dick swinging session for Putin.

Politicians from Ukraine have said the west narrative is OTT and hyping up the situation. Plus 100k troops?
there are probably 100k US troops in Europe.. doesn't seem like a lot

and convenient for the western nations to all point at the big bogeyman.
though of course his aggression and ultimatums are not helpful either and they did annex Crimea not long ago and are constantly messing about with the underwater cables etc

 

[Woland]

It's the usual morons who've all been in Putin's pocket for decades who spout all this crap about it not being his fault. Could the West and NATO have dealt with things a lot better over the past couple of decades? Of course they fucking could - but any comparison to what Putin is and has been up to in the same period is a disingenuous false equivalence.

The news coverage on this stuff makes me want to chew on wire wool.

 

[Markeh]

Can’t we just give Ukraine a handful of nukes then we can all go back to arguing about vaccines?

should never have given them up in the first place

 

[Woland]

America should nuke themselves just to freak out Putin and show him how hard they are

False flag attack earlier apparently. Russia shelled a nursery, but claiming it was Ukraine.

Lucky no kids were hurt.

I said the same thing at home last week. I think they since changed the flight plane?

Oh, I don't have to read a book to know that. That we are fucked as a species is old news.

This book highlights the political and social ramifications of climate change as well as other issues. Terrifying.

It's well worth a read.

Did they actually claim so? Stanitsa Luhanska is on the Ukrainian side, no one would believe Ukraine randomly chose to shell their own village.



In fact there was shelling from the Russian side on the whole perimeter of Donbas front line today and jusging from the reports it’s continuing. Not the volume and intensity you would expect for an invasion, just a way to express their displeasure I guess…
