Putin puts troops in western Russia on alert in drill

[Deleted]

Are you saying that Russia IS in fact aggressive and would invade/attack out of spite?

If isolated? Yes, it's possible. If intertwined through trading agreements? No.
As this recent events are showing on a daily basis.

Generally speaking you only know the truth when it shoots. It didnt, and that's pretty good.

The insertion of magazines into assault rifles is for one of two reasons, to load the weapon or convince others it is loaded. Neither are "peaceful".

The EU would be concerned by Russia's attack even thou there's 0 chance Russia would actually attack. Paranoia that is

[Jackmoves]

I could be wrong here but certainly the personalities of those captured raised a lot of talks about that. Good to know thse people are kept safe and untouched there

They are held as hostages by armed criminals.

Crimea is russian territory, next question.

... Did you really said that? You can argue it is now, but it certainly wasn't at the time we are talking about. What a desperate and sad argument.

[Puupi]

Are you stupid? You cant deny something when there is evidence present. No evidence = no facts.

What? There was evidence, Russia neglected it and straight forward lied. That's what they always do, lie. And now Russians don't understand why nobody trusts or believes them. Really?

Lie. Sniper shot two (Ukrainian military and Crimean militia) and wounded two. All of them were unarmed. Shooter was from Lviv.

Source for the shooter's identity?

Noone denied that Russia had troops in the region. They denied that russian military were capturing ukrainian military object before the referendum. That's true.

Putin denied, Russian foreign minister denied, Duma denied. All lies.

What else can cause such flash in helicopter? I honestly have no idea.

People in video say it's missile, but quality of video is not sufficient to see clearly if there are any missiles fired.

Missiles and rockets are generally very obvious when fired from the rocket exhaust. As to what caused it, I cannot tell from the poor quality of the video.

Or you're blind brainewashed kid from far-far-away. He lived there, you did not. I suspect you're wrong, sorry

I visited USSR twice when I was a kid. The poorest shithole I've ever been in... or well, it was pretty much on par with Egypt in the early 90's when I was there. Egypt might have been even more poor. But it was horrible anyway.

So it is better to attack then find different trading partners?

Again, I'm pretty happy about the way it went. I think the people in Crimea are too.

The only attack from Russia the EU or NATO has to fear is nuclear, Russia's conventional army posses no threat to them.

There are reports that soldiers stationed to guard kindergardens (as there were assumptions that some hostage-taking might happen in Crimea) were told to keep empty magazines in their weapons to make sure there are absolutely no accidents.

It wasn't, and still isn't. Nobody else has recognized it yet but Russia, obviously.

Some people there are, some are not.

Anyway it seems your opinion on that does not matter

Show me the evidence then. I've seen a lot of like during the Crimean crisis, about "refugees", about people being dragged to vote by russian military and other bullshit. Please, no more of that.

[Puupi]

There are reports that soldiers stationed to guard kindergardens (as there were assumptions that some hostage-taking might happen in Crimea) were told to keep empty magazines in their weapons to make sure there are absolutely no accidents.

So other soldiers had full magazines, because otherwise such orders would have been pointless.

Does the opinion of Ex-Soviet Union states matter then? They were part of your glorious empire...

Dear god... so even you admit that no-one has actually called Russia "evil", but it is just you being butthurt about something others have said that goes against your carebear worldview?

Btw, once Russia invades rest of eastern-Ukraine, you'll switch over to judging them harshly like you said some 600+ pages ago?

I'm against russia invading Ukraine.
That doesn't make them imperialistic fascists.
Carebear worldview? Trololol.
Oh you're such a STRONG mmochamp poster!! You surely know how the REAL world runs do ya? Ahahahahahahahah

[Thunderball]

Some people there are, some are not.

I only care about the opinion of people who live in Crimea. Others are irrelevant.
