Russia Declares War on Ukraine<<MOD WARNING>>

Hahahaha....de nazi-fying....that's too funny!!....LOL.

 

Disregard that video link I posted. Some assclown uploaded a fake from 2015...

 

Can they just have an election for the Donbas and let them choose which nation they are part of?

 

That's the general idea. And it wont be "eventual". These guys will have most of the work done in one day.

 

Standard operating procedure’s. When waging war, stop your enemy’s possibility to wage war against your.
Fuel, munitions, communication, weapon depots. Take em out.

 

They should have voted with their feet years ago and moved to Russia.

 

Cute pics....get them from a popcorn box prize?

 

I certainly would not want to be around any arms depot full of US weapons.

 

Those weapons probably aren't around there....I'm sure a pleasant surprise awaits the invaders. Lots body bags?

 

I don't like Putin and I think he's a thug. But I can't deny the truth in what you said. If Ukraine had either being diplomatic or if it had not fired on civilians or if it had eased off the arms imports a bit the situation could probably have been averted. Even just one of those three things. Ukraine did none of this, I suspect in the blind hope that the West is going to intervene and save them. Or perhaps they weren't thinking at all.

I suspect the main reason is Ukraine is not a cohesive country. One group is doing one thing, another group is doing another. Nobody's in charge. No discipline or self restraint. It comes back to my initial point that dealing with ukranians is like dealing with children. The forget an agreement 2 hours ago prior and just start doing something else. And we handed heavy weaponry to these guys? Baffling.

 

Ukraine did not provoke this..........but that is what Putin has been saying........LIES............and misinformation. and ridiculous spin.

 

I can verify some of that video was from today.

 

About half the board here thinks Putin wants to re-establish the Soviet union.

 

It looks like he wants to take control of the Dnieper river so he can strangle imports into Ukraine.

 

BOOM! Shock! and Awe!

 

Pentagon is tracking reported incursion of troops from Belarus into Ukraine, source says

From CNN's Katie Bo Lillis

The US Department of Defense is tracking the reported incursion of troops from Belarus into Ukraine, a US defense official said Thursday.

It was not clear if the troops were only Russian or also Belarusian, the source said.

Some context: Through a livestream video, CNN witnessed troops atop a column of military vehicles entering Ukraine from a border crossing with Belarus at about 6:48 a.m. local time Thursday.

The livestream video was taken at the Senkivka, Ukraine, crossing with Veselovka, Belarus.

In recent weeks, Russia has amassed a significant number of troops, vehicles and tanks in Belarus near the border with Ukraine. During that time, the two countries have held joint military exercises across the countries, and near the Belarus-Ukrainian border.

Early Thursday, the Ukrainian state border service said the country was attacked through multiple borders, including Belarus.​

Are they lost? What are they doing crossing the border from Belarus? They're supposed to be "keeping the peace" in the Donbas.

 

Demilitarization and denazification of Ukraine.



One last look for posterity.

Bye, bye, now!!! LOL

 

Right before Georgian President Saakahsvili attacked the separatists in Ossetia, he met with NATO leaders about joining NATO. He got the idea Georgia would quickly become a NATO member...which likely led to the ass whooping he got from Russia.

Zelensky just followed in Saakahsvili's footsteps.

 

Not quite. He doesn't want the 'soviet' part. he wants to establish a greater Russia filled with all those geographic regions that speak russian and a much larger sphere of influence which collectively expands Russia to nearly the same size. He wants to go down in history as creating a Pan Russian oligarchy .

 

You are badly misinformed.

 

Once again folks, take note of which posters support this. This is who they are. Don't forget it.

 

So, they're wandering around somewhere north of Kyiv looking for ~20 guys who posed in a photo with a Nazi flag?

We probably had more Nazis gathered in Charlottesville than there are in all of Ukraine.


Alt-right members preparing to enter Emancipation Park holding Nazi, Confederate, and Gadsden "Don't Tread on Me" flags.

 

Omigosh...another silly pic....you agents are really desperate?

 

Russian attack was consistent with US intelligence forecast, US senators say
From CNN's Zachary Cohen and Lauren Fox

US senators have said the unfolding attack in Ukraine is in line with intelligence briefings they received about what to expect from a Russian invasion.

In a series of tweets, Sen. Marco Rubio, the top Republican on the Senate Intelligence Committee, said that Russia was launching a “full scale and comprehensive military assault throughout Ukraine.”

The attack involved “airborne and amphibious landings, missile strikes from air, ground and naval forces, electronic and cyber attacks and a large ground force to occupy a large swarth of territory," Rubio said.
He added that Russian airborne forces are also working to “take control of the airport in Kyiv (so) they can fly in forces to occupy the (capital) city." A source familiar with the matter said the tweets were based on US intelligence being shared with Intelligence Committee members.

Congress briefed on attack: As the Russian attack escalated late Wednesday, Sen. Mark Warner, the Senate Intelligence chairman, and Rep. Adam Schiff, the chair of the House Intelligence Committee, spoke with CIA Director William Burns, according to two sources familiar with the matter.

Sen. Ben Cardin, a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, told CNN that senators would be briefed on the invasion by the White House Thursday.

“A lot of what we’re seeing happening in regards to the apparent air attacks on the defense infrastructure of Ukraine is all part of what was expected we would see,” Cardin said. “There is no justification for it. I can tell you there’ll be strong bipartisan support in the United States Senate and Congress for the strongest possible reaction by the United States and our allies.”​

One part that I find particularly troubling:

Russian airborne forces are also working to “take control of the airport in Kyiv (so) they can fly in forces to occupy the (capital) city." A source familiar with the matter said the tweets were based on US intelligence being shared with Intelligence Committee members.​

Russia is indeed trying to capture Kyiv. This after Putler spoke of a "peace-keeping operation" in Donbas.

 

Chilling. But digging deep on both sides I can't help feel Putin would have been happy to let Ukraine be Ukraine as long as they kept peace with the Russians there and stopped the overtures towards becoming a NATO member. I feel that those countries that are stuck between the east and the west need to learn to straddle both sides. They should be able to choose whatever destiny they want, but sometimes the world isn't fair. If you live next to a Bear you need to make allowances.
