Russian invasion of Ukraine

[Huehuecoyotl]

While this doesn't pertain to the Ukraine war, it still involves Russia and invading others.

Maybe he's remembering the cover from 2000AD, way back in the 70s? There was a series there about the Russians invading the UK, and the last battle the UK army fought was at Stonehenge. Trying to remember what it was called....Invasion maybe? I know it was set in 1999.

Sounds insane, but nothing this guy is coming out with makes any sense anyway.

Damn, I didn't know Russia had its own version of Alex Jones.

Their state TV anchors are nothing but. Heck even before this invasion, they were known for assaulting foreign quests on air... among other things.

Truly a nation of uncivilized orcs.

No missiles that can reach into russia

Given that russia was very clear about this I'm not surprised.

But if you get close enough to the border...... Nah Ukraine would never do that, would they?

Yeah...that's why the line is a BIT fuzzy. I mean at face value a kid's slingshot would cross the line, the US is apparently going to provide MLRS's after all, just no long range missiles, max range will be 70km/44mi, which means that they can't be deployed anywhere where they would be both useful to shoot the invaders AND to hit russia.

I'm not exactly sure why should Russia be safe from the war of terror it started on a neighbor? So what if say, Moscow gets some of what it dishes out? Could make them rethink the worth of their terrorist campaign, if they weren't safe and sound from it.

Interesting and still no surprise what a far-right conspiracy hell hole this forum is.

And no: I don't care to get banned for that, that's typical for fascists.

Speaking of, on the Bitch's show, a Russian politician suggested they should abduct a NATO defence minister, take them back to Moscow and 'question' them about NATO's involvement.

Multiple reasons:
1: We don't want russia to start claiming their continued existence is under attack.
2: As long as Ukraine is defending all's good, if they go on conquest that won't be necessarily perceived as a good thing.
3: Bombarding, say, Moscow will galvanise the population and nip any rebellious thoughts in the bud.

While I can't say that 'give russia a taste of it's own medicine' won't feel good the fact of the matter is that there is a non-zero percent chance of a very undesirable escalation from the russian side. Is it blackmail? Yes, but that does not change the facts.

Do you want WWIII? Because that's a good way to get on that path... Seriously though if these lawmakers go any further putin will start looking downright reasonable.

1. It's not. Don't give a flying f about ruski feefees. War ends immediately when they fuck out of Ukraine. They know that.

2. Retaliation has nothing to do with conquest, don't be silly dear.

3. Possible, but that puts the wealthy in Russia in danger of dying rather than just the poor rabble. Are they willing to keep chancing it? I doubt it.

Are those people actually mentally insane for real?

It's hard to overstate just how massive of an escalation kidnapping cabinet members of other governments would be.

[ifrah]

In such totalitarian scheme it doesn't shock me the slightest that some rank-and-file politicians lash out such ridiculous comments and/or suggestions. They need to appear good lapdogs for the actual brass, so guess that's the way to please masters, or so many seem to think.

Bruh, it's a trashtalk show where they invite various deadbeat trash attention whore politicians and experts who just sit there and run their mouth for the amusement of the viewers.

Don't take anything there seriously, because even Russians themselves don't. Nobody who visits these shows is anywhere close to being a decision maker.

Which country invaded which one illegally while committing mass genocide proved by facts?

Aww, the little ruzzki got its feelings hurt.

RIP feelings.

[Belize]

Heh, Russia mad that they are not being invited to a Hiroshima/Nagasaki victims commemoration.

Maybe Japan can invite them to a Tsushima Straight celebration instead.

Assuming any Russian ships actually make it there that time.

Fascists dont care about getting banned? what?

Moreover, the far-right are generally the ones that love Russia. Odd for them to call them out.

Not really, when we remember that the "Nazi Ukrainians" were the slogan of the invasion.

The far-right in the United States, at least, loves them. Trump most of all.
