It was Russia who bombed Afghanistan back to the Stoneage, before crawling back to Moscow with their tails firmly between there legs
and I believe the same one who was holding back military aid from the Ukraine not too long ago and tried to stall out previous sanctions against Russia and wanted them back in the G7.
In the US it has also been Trump's biggest cheerleaders and supporters like Tucker and Bannon who have been relatively pro Russia recently so it is hard to see much action coming from a Trump administration.
You must have missed the American withdrawal last year did you?
But hasn't the testicles to put it to Nato
Tone on RT has definitely changed since sanctions announced. Putin now open to negotiation.
If EU sanctions are a limp handshake the actions of the US are akin to somebody hiding under the bed clothes..
Biden the absolute dose,
Look at the source RT. Not exactly a reliable source to put it mildly.
No the one in 89 .
Thousands dead and over 300 aircraft shot down
It seems that the most significant parts of what you miscall the NATO build-up were anti-tank missiles and perhaps special radar equipment (and don't forget all those German helmets ☺️)
These are essentially defensive weapons. You don't go attacking a place like Russia with anti-tank missiles; you need lots of tanks, other armoured vehicles and aircraft.
Are you seriously advocating a direct attack on Russia in response to this? Can you think of any reason why such a thing never happened in spite of a litany of Soviet provocations across half a century of Cold 'War'?
Lets hope not because if that happens then it's endgame stuff.
Be great if that applied to other war criminals also. George Bush and Tony Blair should be first in line.
And what do you think Russias reply would be. If this was to happen we wouldn't need to worry about inflation, housing, health etc. Ir would be all over. Surely your not serious.
Are the US washing their hands of this? Surely they can't allow Russia to conquer?
Putin has warned the West not to intervene. Nobody can predict how bad this will get. The only good thing about this at this moment , Putin right now isn’t doing a full-blown invasion. That may change. His military seems to centre around downgrading the Ukrainian military and capturing strategic locations.
That seems to be the case. Biden doesn't expect sanctions to begin to bite for another month, by which point it's all over for Ukraine, and I'll hedge a bet on Moldova. On the other hand, short of getting actively involved, I'm not sure what else the US can do.
The man has battled a stammer his entire life
I really wish this was going to be the case but unfortunately not a chance of this happening.
Russia will take Ukraine probably sooner rather than later, sanctions will go on and maybe their may be some insurgency afterwards. Unfortunately in a few months time this will probably be old news and not much more will be done or said about it.
"I invaded Ukraine by mistake"
Jesus Christ...the state of you.
That's the reality of dealing with a guy with nukes I'm afraid, and explains why North Korea, Iran etc. are so desperate to get their hands on them.
How is this not a full scale invasion? At what point does it become full scale? They've bombed and rolled into every part of Ukraine they can reach.
Sure seems like the opening stages of an invasion to me. Civilians are being killed. Why? For what cause has this occured? It has nothing to with NATO.
It DOES have something to do with this rambling mess he wrote back in July 2021

The first casualty in any war is the truth.
Although the truth has been on life support for some time.
UK & Canada firmly pushing to exclude Russia from Swift. Biden mentioned some European nations were not for it in his speech.
Realistically what more can anyone do? America/NATO aren't going to commit troops to a non NATO country, not against Russia, they're a nuclear power with an erratic dictator in power.
We certainly should end our neutrality IMHO. I think we should be looking to join a new EU defence force with given our very small size a more niche role. So like with us increasing and developing our naval capabilities given we are an island nation.
Ukraine reporting that they have repelled the attack on Hostomel Airport and destroyed the Russian force sent to capture it.
They are going for Kiev.
Your disinformation is disgraceful.
You still seem to be on the putin bot script from last week.
This is the bureaucratic paralysis of the EU on show to the world. Same with the initial response to Covid. The EU is simply incapable of reacting to evolving situations coherently.
They want to discuss "terms of surrender".
