Russia - threadbanned users in OP

Clear sign your beaten when your resorting to back handed personal slights , I have your arguement on the ropes.. sorry but your propaganda can't stand up to the facts and truth.

You are beaten and your resorting to personal insults and whataboutery.

Nope, incorrect..

How would the West look foolish?

Putin has amassed an invasion force on the border. Should the rest of the world just pretend it didn't happen?

Hi, no not live. My point was that there are images available if you know where to look. The images on Google earth were scanned on the 26th March 2021. It shows a sizable Russian force even back then, but there was no song and dance about it.

Sure they're drills... with a list of demands attached. Russia is a vast Country, why these particular time's and place ? You think that this was accicental?

It shouldn't happen now (for a lot of reasons) but don't see why Ukraine joining the EU should be out of the question.

Seems a far more likely future member than Turkey (if Ukraine can meet criteria, if EU can reform to make itself ready for admitting any more members without causing huge internal crises or institutional gridlock, (ideally) if relations between EU/EU members and Russia can improve in future so a war doesn't start over Ukraine's membership, so many ifs as to make it quite a long way off yet).

It has a smaller population than Turkey, and to be blunt it is not a Muslim country with all that baggage, and fewer current members or likely future members have festering unresolved "issues"/disputes with it too I think.

You have to hand it to the Kremlin they really know how to create fake bullshit like no other .

Spontaneously found 5 mass Graves from 2014

The same poster claim's there is no Russian troops surrounding ukraine , despite the Russians themselves saying that they are there

Big cyber attack on Ukraine just reported.

I doubt this will "end". I think the Russians are here to stay as a heavier presence around Ukraine, constantly applying pressure. Will definitely hurt Ukraine's weak economy if Russia make shipping difficult, if airlines won't operate, if they constantly engage in heavier hacking attacks, hybrid warfare, propaganda, etc. Essentially putting Ukraine in a much tighter vice and seeing if it "cracks" under pressure. Calling it now.

@Harryd225 so Zelensky saying just there, whilst overseeing a military drilled aimed at a defending a potential invasion, that "we are not afraid of anyone , we will defend ourselves. " why would he say that if America are only fabricating a potential Russian invasion. He also just said there is no sign of Russian drawback of troops. Very strange altogether.

You've been repeating the one quote from him for weeks now, as if his word his gospel. How do you square this hole now ? I guess russia are a threat to them and they haven't withdrawn from border then by your logic ?

RTE still insisting that the invasion is imminent 🤣 they’re an absolute joke, a circus.

Even the BBC have dropped Ukraine and moved on to more important issues such as the Princes Andrew and Charles.

But the Russians told us they left yesterday. They even showed videos of tanks moving ... but they've just moved to other parts of the border. I thought they were leaving? Surely Zelensky and his govt can see from Ukraine , along with European and American intelligence. Yet they're all saying the same thing. You know more though with all your Intel.

I've already explained this, Russia want to collapse Ukraine from within , create fear and panic. The ukranians know this and are resisting. Its called crisis management. He has to keep calm to protect the economy and current power structure there , both of which Russia are trying to destroy by provoking fear and chaos.

Actions speak louder than words , Ukraine taking in weapons, citizens arming themselves, military drills for defence.

When does ireland or any other nation say something like " we are not afraid we will defend ourselves"? Get real. You don't say that unless you are under threat of an invasion. You're not that bright are you ?

Absolutely, but this marks a definite escalation. China will definitely be taking notes.
