Why on earth would Russia want to use chemical weapons in Ukraine, as if the whole world doesn't hate them enough.
Ukrainian police and Territorial Defense unit detained eight Russian servicemen near Romny, Sumy Region. And Liam Gallagher.
Anything is possible in the current situation ,it's not as if you personally know putin
Zelenskyy put it perfectly “If you want to know what russia is planning on doing next, they usually accuse others of planning to do what they are going to do”… 😂
He is just to quick for Vlad.. It’s remarkable how stupid the Russians think people are , I think it’s possibly because they can’t hide in the shadows, everybody is looking right at them. This “reveal Russian plans before they do it” is a master stroke from The Americans, it’s totally neutered Russias bullsh*t
I think you've got it there with your last sentence. Chemical weapons allow them to nuke the place without nuking the place.
Luckily for every citizen of Europe, that is never going to happen.
I know in that clip everything could be exaggerated, but I still imagine their are massive numbers in the city willing to fight it out for a very long time, and with quite a large stash of advanced weaponry that came in from over the border from NATO / western countries.
It is hard to see how Russian forces are going to be able to take Kyiv, well not for a very long time anyway, unless they do just turn to mass indiscriminate shelling and level the the entire place.
Cut it out, the pair of you
Yes but there’s a lot of companies out there just itching to give Putin a #McHappyending when this is all over- you can tell by their press releases they’re as addicted to Russian money as a fat slob is to their food - this is all an accountancy inconvenience to many of them - McDonaldz have merely “suspended” business from Russia- they’re just dying to get their corporate mouth around Putins cock when this is all over -sanctions won’t last and will form part of the conclusion to this war as in being lifted

Putin has to go on trial for war crimes before the lifting of sanctions is even considered. Also Russia will have to pay for the rebuilding of Ukraine.
I fear it's a contrived attempt at Russian justification for their own use.
I would imagine that if Nato were to declare war on Russia that declaration would be made after the bombs have hit their targets.
Putins threat of attacking others is just a threat, I dunno why the West allowed themselves to be bullied like that. The West should have made it clear that not one single bullet would ever be fired on Russian soil, but that they will come to defend Ukraine from invasion on Ukrainian soil. If that was made clear from the start Putin would never have dared.
Personally I'd take it all with a pinch of salt. One of two things is happening there either a) the Kremlin is prepping its out or b) these lads will change their tune when a chemical attack happens and those previously anti war people who listened and agreed with them will be more inclined to get behind Putin.
Still though even to see that message being discussed is interesting.
I don't think so, I think Putin will have to be gone. Can't see them lifting sanctions in a hurry when he is gone either - Ukraine needs to be rebuilt and this situation needs to be rendered unlikely to ever happen again.
Sounds more like deflection and to create an excuse for their invasion
I was there in 1991 when Leningrad was still Leningrad and in the restaurants there you paid at a special counter on the way out. Your bill was totted up on an abacus, presumably because they couldnt get their hands on calculators. You got three carbon copy receipts as well which you were supposed to hang on to for the whole trip in case the police wanted to inspect them. Was back again in 2001 and it was a completely changed country, sky scrapers galore and Ferraris regularly seen on the streets. But the place was absolutely full of beggars compared to 10 years previous when there was virtually none.
Is this UN meeting accusation by Russia about America being involved in chemical weapons manufacturing perhaps a contrived attempt to claim Nato has declared war on Russia?
You're referring to the Ukrainians, the poster you quoted was referring to the Russians
Yes I do, like I said, US with its experience and hi-tec weapons and machinery would smash russia and that's without nato. Ukraine have some western weapons, intelligence and training but not a fraction of what the Americans have.
Very, if proven to be true. This bit: Russian army achieved its goals. Donbas is “liberated” stuck out for me. It has completely bloody dumbfounded me(easily done) that putin didn't just "liberate" Donbas and leave it at that rather than go for an expensive war in men, materiel and cash and push beyond that objective. It makes near zero sense. Never mind the shítshow of worldwide anger and sanctions that will send the Russians back to the 1980's. Never mind risking showing his war machine as much less effective than expected.
I would bet that in another dimension where he did just that, his subjects would be on board and much of his army would be back in Belarus for tea, casualities all around would be significantly less and Ukraine would have been well rid of that crap(IMHO). And his oligarch thieves and scum would be tucking into their caviar and moet as usual. Yes we'd have seen some arm waving in the UN and EU but little else(like with Crimea), and nothing like the avalanche of the response he's seeing now.
It's a very good question. Can the sanctions be lifted if the tyrant remains in the Kremlin? It seems rather unlikely....he's more of a pariah than Kim Jong Un at the moment.
The it'd be funny if it wasn't so serious take from this war...
If Russia wins the war against Ukraine, Russia becomes a pariah state that will rival somewhere between Cuba and North Korea for at least a decade. They effectively lose.
If they pull out the repercussions will be far less severe. Sooooo, which of the Putin bots on here volunteers to update Dear Leader?
You're correct. But regardless of how it ends Russia, while it will see the return of McDonald's etc, is bolloxed in terms of investment, advancement, progress. On top of all that it's outdated and floundering military has exposed Russia as maybe not the superpower they think they are.
I don't think you realise they are funded by western countries like US and NATO members where do you think they got those drones and weapons. They didn't have them themselves they have been getting supplied for years since Russia took over the part of Ukraine in the south years ago. And have even got more supplied since the war started.
Valid point Raind. Mea culpa, I jumped the gun. Though it would surprise me more if they didn't do something like that.
Loads of countries are currently dealing with them.
Besides everything that's going on with this war, I'd say the Americans are very surprised at how poor and ineffective the Russians are, if they did get involved they'd smash them especially with nato members. Withstanding nuclear weapons/war.
Good. More payback for murdering pensioner civilians in their family car.
