Your lying saying there is no proof they are there .
The Russians have said publicly they are there.
But apparently you think there not ,so what the Russians are making it up
Was there not satellite photos released? I'm sure I saw them on the guardian 2 or 3 weeks ago.
Oh that scary Nancy Pelosi is already out with the narrative. Russia got scared of the US sanctions. LOL
Folks, do your own homework on the internet, this repetitive sh1t of "show me" is wasting bandwidth.
Searching OSINT, Ukraine, Russia etc. on Twitter is a start.
Try to follow the conversation.
A poster claimed the US is likely lying about the numbers of Russian troops. They citied previous US lies about the numbers of Iraqi troops in Kuwait during the Gulf War 1991.
Here is one article from 1991 where a US newspaper bought satellite photos of the area in question and had a couple satellite imaging experts review. Those experts concluded that the Iraqi troop numbers aren't even 20% of what the US claimed.
So the point here, is that the US has a precedent lying about this. We shouldn't just believe what they claim in this theatre today. We should demand proof.
The Russians have said they are there .....
Russia used to be scary. Now they are just a laughing stock. Such a beautiful country though. Shame about it's leaders.
can you show any evidence that there are 130k Russian troops there?
Should be easy to spot as they'll need significantly large tent cities.
I have yet to hear the British and American narrative on the latest events, I'm sure this narrative coincidentally matches up with the opinions of the posters here on boards so could someone please explain to me what's going on?
He forget to add the long list of things the British have done over the last 700+ years
You done?
Just heard Russian troops are moving off the border, what does this mean according to the posters on boards? What elaborate scheme is Putin up to now?
Only so much bs one can make up
No he doesn't ,nato admission is based off 28 members saying yes or no ,
Germany's Chancellor isn't a spokesperson for nato or negotiating on their behalf
Why would we stop talking about the actions and policies of western powers, when their actions and policies are integral to the story of what is going on in Ukraine?
That would be completely nonsensical.
Nope, sorry Gatling, the US and the west are intimately connected to this whole mess. 🙂
He has a veto on new members.
He's still upset about cork fishermen standing up to the Russian navy
The only poster that I have seen express a desire for an invasion to occur was @Shao Kahn when they stated that Ukraine will be split into many pieces and they're opinion was that NATO and the west should stay out of eastern Europe. Where else have you seen disappointment that there is no war yet? I think everyone hopes for no war.
Not wanting Ukrainians sovereignty and lives to be taken by military invasion is not equivalent to being a russophobe.
Schultz has no say on Nato,
Under the minsk agreements elections can be held after foreign troops and equipment aka( Russian military) leave east ukraine and ukraine secures its borders
Can you point to a source that tells us the US are lying about the number of Russian troops on the Ukraine border?
@BluePlanet can you please stop with the nonsense about iraq ,
This is the Russia aggression against Ukraine discussion ,
You can open a separate thread on the gulf war and then another on the second I'm sure you'll be in good company ...
Not that there would be any factual discussion
Didn't Saddam have the 4 biggest army in the world and the most heavily defended cities in the world in air defenses .
And yet they got rolled ......
Are you afraid that's what going to happen to your russian friends.
Again you have yet to prove a single claim on this thread
The point is the US bare faced lied about the numbers of troops that Saddam had in Kuwait.
Similar to the lies they are touting about the numbers of Russian troops near Ukraine.
Do you actually think it ended .
Remember were even increasing out defense budget
Lol
Some people are very disappointed that there is no war yet, despite several announcements. Like our resident military experts and Russophobes. BoJo too as he will have to go back to explaining government pandemic parties.
These people reminds me of various end of the world cranks who always find a reason why it did not happen yet only to set another date in the near future.
150k Russians is the entire military? Then Ukraine should not have much to worry about. The rest of Russia is now completely defenceless. A handful of Armenian reserves could overrun the South in an hour.
It's amusing to read all the comments here stating that Russia (or Soviet Union, same difference) has no reason to attack and will gain nothing doing so. That has never stopped them before. It's the same old same old decade after decade, century after century. Some power-hungry guy decides he wants more land even though he's not doing anything productive with the land he already has. My family has at least five hundred years of experience with them always following the same pattern, faking an attack by their enemy (often smaller) and then "retaliating". I hope things have changed but I'm not holding my breath. No-one moves around troops of over hundred thousand unless they plan on doing something with those troops. Unless of course they suddenly run out of money or something and have to call it quits. Well, we'll see...
They were in Kuwait illegally
Have you seen 150k Russian troops in the border? There were supposed to be a similar number of Iraqi personnel on the Saudi border in 1991 except they just didn't exist. And what dialog do you hear from Putin that would suggest he is going to invade imminently other than what you are told he said or is saying or plotting? We're you this animated regarding North Korea? We're they not supposed to imminently attack Seoul and Hawaii and everyone else not long ago? The West has been crying wolf for eight years. Don't you find it amusing?
