If any shells land in DNR zones that should be the trigger to take Mariupol. Eventually moving to Odessa. Closing off Ukraine to the Black sea will be of strategic importance to Russia even after Putin is gone.
Ah cool. So you will be the mouthpiece for the great new USSR. No, NATO, an alliance to try and prevent wars is the bad one. They've annexed "nothing", so they are truly the aggressors here.
Stick to microtermite
Did Russia veto Ukraine's request for peacekeepers to those areas previously?
This bit of his speech is more scary than any headlines I've read
Imagine if Canada or Mexico allowed a Russian-led/funded coalition of forces to be based in their territory.
so whats the option let weapons pour into ukraine from the west so ukraine can keep defending eastern ukraine from russian army invasion ..
take all of ukraine or absolutely annihalite ukraine army...
"Separated from Kyiv control for years". So you are saying you're OK with this for areas previously carved out by Russia? So you will be OK with the death and destruction this leads to right? You would be OK with talking to the family of the people who loose their lives in this as "you were separated from Kyiv control for years so it's not an issue".
Nato is a hostile military alliance. What do you think would happen? Ukraine trying to join Nato made them an unfriendly nation. How is this so hard to comprehend for some people?
He sided with Putin over the fbi.
He bent over for Putin.
Erm, did you not listen to Putin's address and his threat to the Ukrainian govt?
If you want entirely serious discussion where comic images are generally less tolerated, head on over to the politics forum.
How utterly deluded.
Even if he did, there's no way he can suppress a resistance that emerges from a wider population of 41 million people (Russia itself is 140 million).
The Ukraine is portrayed as some sort of minnow by large swathes of the media.
But the Ukraine is large, populous, and has a population with a proud history; the idea that Putin can waltz in and contain the country and that vast population is absurd.
The Putinbots are frantically tuning into Russia Today to get their talking points straight.
The regions have been separated from Kyiv control for years. It's well known Russian troops are there before this. The language was Putin going to takeover the entire country, hasn't happened. But the move means Minsk deal is dead. Russian troops have gone into two regions they be welcomed.
putin will have to take the entire country or else western weapons will keep flowing into ukraine..
Get the fudge out of here with that. That withdrawal was put in place BY Trump. Sure Vlad was his best mate, along with the leaders of China, North Korea etc. He'd be saying NOTHING about it.
And there's the Russian "peacekeepers" as was predicted going into East Ukraine.
Indeed they are. There are a couple of Black Hawks nearby..
Hilarious. Maybe go over to the swings. The adults are talking.
So, the west's response,
They were flowing in there at least 7 hours ago

Ukrainian military appears to be in the stages of full moblisation, seems to be going on a war footing. Perhaps too little, too late.
Bidens withdrawal of Afghanistan has triggered this offensive from Putin. Weak Sanctions so far have proved Putin right. I believe the likes of Russia and China were fearful of trump as he was unpredictable.
It's always a bit of a disturbing moment when you realise you've been played for an absolute fool.
Looks and sounds like Hitler levels of nutjob alright.
Turns out the Americans were right.
They are trying to decide between:
Option A) Saying Donetsk and Luhansk were never Ukrainian
or
Option B) Saying poor Russia was bullied into the occupation by the bold NATO.
