Tip for ye,read about Putins hybrid warfare and misinformation campaigns
It's not my claim. It's been put forward by others and that's why I contacted OSCE myself.
If Ukraine invaded it would get no support. If Russia invaded the West would back it up. That much is obvious, whether the claim is true or not I don't know but the OSCE records make a strong case for it to me.
Oh look it we managed two pages before daily reminder about the BOMB
One of the biggest problems with online discourse is that it's so much easier to post rubbish than it is to wade through all that rubbish and respond to it all.
Haven't a clue if you're right it wrong. I did see this ages ago.
Russian's can apparently intercept nuclear weapons using kinetic defense. I thought that maybe that was extra reason for them to be war confident but maybe that's bs too
Slow news day, huh?
The Russian's say it was a USA backed coup that ousted a democratically elected leader. I think Noam Chomsky said that too. Good podcast on lex Friedman https://open.spotify.com/episode/4cMeTuzkGNSdUIrrh81A5M?si=8GeUyIXmTPWdiGkgGkQZNQ&utm_source=copy-link
He's very down on both Russia and USA in terms of the Ukraine war.
It is not the OCSE's claim either.
To mention them in association with this claim is an attempt at misrepresentation. Nothing more.
Did you ask them about Russias charter vioations in invading Crimea and demands that Ukraine not join NATO?
Okay, this is last one. I haven't posted anything pro Russian,
What US meddling?
Were there CIA men in long coats on street corners in Moscow hypnotizing Putin and his cadres to launch a war with mind-rayguns?
For the record, the OSCE Budapest Memorandum to which Russia is a signatory, recognises it is the right of sovereign nations to choose security alliances as it sees fit. Be it NATO, be it Russia's sh*tty version of NATO the CSTO, be it Ukraine's defence pact with China, or Portugal's defence guarantees from the UK that go back centuries.
If Russia is not a country of honour it should not put its name to agreements, so we all know exactly know what we're dealing with. Far simpler.
And at that, Ukraine's relationship with NATO was stalled. Ukraine was decades off joining before February of this year.
There was no meddling, just vanilla Russian autocratic bullsh*t. Anyone who is repeating what you posted west of the Suwalki Gap is actually parroting dumb propaganda intended for uneducated babushkas and alcoholics in the Russian provinces. You're not "in the know", you're repeating congealed sh*te intented for the lower strata of Russian society who are accustomed to swallowing Russian state media uncritically. Congratulations, you lose at thinking.
Russian's can apparently intercept nuclear weapons using kinetic defense
Bullets. Kinetic energy projectiles are bullets. They are planning to shot down ICBM with bullets. Big, bad russian bullets. FFS.
Keep in mind that Putin's invasion of Ukraine had absolutely nothing to do with Crimea - he already had possession of the place. Therefore there would be very little sympathy for the dictator should Ukraine enter its territory. You can't invade a country without warning or provocation and then start complaining when the invasion goes horribly wrong and you start losing the battle.
The Russians say a lot of crap. Engage your baloney detectors and stop repeating their propaganda here unquestioned. Because at present you appear incapable of exercising any critical understanding of their lies.
Russia in clear violation of Budapest agreement put Ukraine under economic pressure not to sign EU treaty... thats what started the Maidan revolution. If your sources didnt mention that you need to reflect on what else they arent telling you
Russia can do f*ckall. It's scientific and industrial capacity is a fraction what it was in the 80s. Anyone with more than ounce of grey matter gets out and works in Germany or the US.
Have a think about what you just posted. You posted a link to the Russian state news agency, which dates from the USSR, whose remit almost entirely consisted of making up bullsh*t and concealing the facts of a rotting and crumbling state - about a super-dooper weapon that no one can stop.
"Krasnoyarsk No.3 tractor factory exceed quotas for 5th year in a row! All are awarded medals as Eternal Heroes of Socialist Labour!"
Are you actually that gullible?
You know you can do your own research and come up with your own conclusion instead of just finding xyz person who says this or that etc...
Do you think it was a USA backed coup?
Seems like a good approximation of where the front line is between Kharkiv and Luhansk.
Well in theory it could work.. In theory. Downside is you spread nuclear material all over the shop. As I assume the range is quite small unlike rocket based system. They love to tell us about the Wunderwaffe
OSCE records make a strong case for what?
Did you read what you posted?
Start from the beginning of this comment thread and you will find the answer
There is no way to avoid spreading of nuclear material once the nuke is above you, it either detonates, or you bring it down in pieces, but the latter is a much better option.
I'm not going to get a wink of sleep tonight now
Ofc but we don't really know what the Americans have tbh. They could in Theory be able to shot them in orbit and vaporise the material on re entry. I know they have plane based lazer that take out the delivery system rather than the warhead.
That's only if said Aircraft is actually flying and within effective range of said missles
But the linguist says so, therefore it must be true. And it's not just him either. Roger Waters also says so. How much more proof do you need?
What has that got to do with when the war started?
The war started when Russia invaded Ukraine in 2014
=
They never mention the money that went missing and turned up where 🤣
Well, if you start with the premise that Russia has the god-given right to do as they please with Ukraine, including choosing their leaders, then any deviation from that can look like western meddling, as he called it.
There are two common attitudes among tankies that we're seeing a lot of here tonight.
One is the idea that countries that neighbour Russia are Russia's to control and have no right to self determination. Their choice to look westward, like the baltics, is an affront to Russia, leaving them little choice but to invade. This is, of course, fcuking retarded but it's a widely held belief in much the same way as one's attitude to one's favourite deity is a belief.
The other is that Russia is strong. This one is understandable. If you look at a map, especially one produced in Russia, Russia is fcuking huge compared to tiny europe. If landmasses fought wars instead of humans and equipment, Russia would win easily. Unfortunately, landmasses themselves don't fight wars. They're much more passive. It's actually humans and equipment that fight wars but if you ignore this inconvenient fact, Russia appears very strong.
Exactly, secondary school physics, potential energy & kinetic energy.
I bet their soap suds use unique Russian surface tension concepts !!!
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I cannot believe it did they not mention the '' bomb'' either. No meniof the real BOMB so.
I can go to sleep safety so
Can I fart safety will some think it is the BOMB rather than the bomb
