    I believe this story deserves its own thread.
    So, Pootin admits that the “denazification” of Ukraine is pure horse :icon_shithappens: and he is there for imperial conquest.
    Meanwhile, Russian parliament is considering legislation that would reverse the recognition of independence of Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia.
    So, considering that Russian fascism is getting worse at an alarming rate, what is the world going to do about it?

    Nothing other than make a pariah out of Putin. He is no Peter the Great. Czar Peter did more to bring Russia into modern times than anybody after him. I recommend reading his biography. It is one of the best.

    I've said this before.....this was his plan right from the start....so called "Nazism" has nothing to do with it.

    I suspect the process to admit Finland/Sweden into Nato will accelerate....

    Reinforce that Suwalki gap.....Patriots and MLRS..

    Take out Lukashenka....and send in more long range ...heavy weapons into Ukraine.

    We have always known this was the purpose of this war. Putin's shills on this board & elsewhere haven't tried to hide it. It is a land grab Adolf Hitler style.

    Peter the Great brought Russia into Europe. Pootin is doing the opposite.
    The problem is that Pootin seem to believe in his own greatness. They constantly lie themselves into all kinds of absurdities.

    I agree, it’s been pretty obvious.
    The problem is that they are raising a very militaristic society. They are popularizing the idea of nuking a nato country. In that same speech in the OP Pootin said weak countries are destined to become colonies.
    It starts to increasingly look like our direct confrontation is inevitable.

    Yeah, we might want to ramp up military equipment production. We’ll probably need it sooner than later.

    Perhaps. I see a weakened leader trying to look strong in a cutlure that has created a cult of personality around the 'strongman' leader. Putin knows that Russians crave a boot to lick, and all it takes is a few promises of greatness for them to lick his. They will live like peasants in crap and grovel like slaves if their dictator can convince them they are an 'important' nation.

    Putin needs a distraction, so he threatens nations he cannot touch without consequences he doesn't want.

    Do this. Crank up the production lines. If Putin is dumb enough to want to destroy what is left of his military by attacking NATO then let him.

    NATO-Russia: It’s time to suspend the Founding Act

    NATO should not be constrained by any agreement with Russia anymore.

    If it is....level a few cities and towns on the RF territory and keep the fight there....trouble is conventional RF military wouldn't last 48 hrs against NATO.....Dwarfstan will go nuclear....

    Maybe someone will do a Ceaucescu on the Dwarfstan midget.....it's military is getting demilitarized in Ukraine.....further destroying it and leaving Mafiosi totally vulnerable may be just too much for some military brass inside the Kremlin.

    I'd be happy enough with that providing the replacement isn't worse (and this is Russia, so you know that is at least a 50/50 possibility). Granny Vlad has done a pretty good job of staffing the military and security services with loyal and corrupt apparachiks precisely to avoid this sort of outcome, so I'm not counting on it.

    Perhaps if he really does try to go after a NATO nation self preservation might kick in and someone might act.

    Unless Putin tries to interfere with Baltic countries, direct confrontation is unlikely happen.

    NATO is going to defend the Baltic States if Russia acts on denying their independence

    Invading more territory at an even greater logistical distance only to be met with an enemy with superior weapons and experience with your tactics would be more than crazy and far less than intelligent.
