They should have admitted it was them if they wanted it to be a warning though.
Unless Russia blowing them up was to appease or prevent a pull against him from within the Kremlin.
He was too busy switching accounts, forgot which is which
Reminds me of the likes of Mick Wallace and Clare Daly. If you say black they'll immediate say 'white' in response because, you know, there are always 'two sides'. Even if the side they're supporting is a mass murderer.
Thanks to the war in Ukraine and in particular Boards, we now have a plentiful supply of self proclaimed internet experts on Ukraine, Russia, nuclear weapons, gas pipe lines, sabotage and of course conspiracy above all else.
No different to the Brexit and COVID expert's beforehand.
Again, it's part of a consistent pattern of behaviour going back decades.
They didn't come out directly and say 'yes we murdered Litvinenko' either but they certainly didn't deny it (and indeed winked at it repeatedly).
Sad to say, Clare Daly represents me in the EU parliament. I think I'll stalk her in her next election campaign holding up pictures of Russian atrocity and reminding everyone of her position.
Here is a man who is truly fed up...
Well, its not a safe job is it. Either they say yes to the boss and go to work or end up falling out of windows. I can see plenty more of this action in the next few days. Putin next mistake will follow all his previous... making things worse for Russia. The annexing will backfire on Russia in a very big way.
I'm sure she'll accuse you of being a paid NATO plant in Ireland, tasked with stirring up a false flag narrative re the 'fake' Russian atrocities in Ukraine!
The credible excuse is because of all the Nazis in Ukraine?
Putin stated so on Russian media and it's also stated on Twitter and Telegram so it's obviously true don't you know. Who needs proof when a president and brainwashed Twitter users say so?
And you are an expert, are you?
Highly Knowledgeable.
I'll leave self anointed experts to more recent accounts
Russians troops are cut off now in Lyman
Incredible that they left it so later to try and break out, if that is in fact what they they do. It has been clear for days now that this was a lost cause. It will be very interesting if they only stayed this long there due to orders from Putin.
Well at least you do Irony well.
Another long convoy of Russian weapons going over the Kerch bridge.
Not really, they fixed that by kidnapping at least 250,000 Ukraininan children, and I have seen some people claim it's double that.
I do a lot of things well.
But I will say it's more likely the US removed the pipeline from the equation,
The other claim is Putin did it to spite the next leader ....
OK, the comedian Dave Smith on Joe Rogan made the claim that verbal and written assurances were given to the USSR that NATO would not expand one inch to the east. Up until now, I have not seen that written assurance, unless by written assurance he means the minutes of what was assured to Gorbachev in terms of NATO not placing any military structures in the former East Germany, which NATO did not.
If some sort of written agreement exists, with signatures, that we could see, it would really put a lot of this to bed. Otherwise, Russia can shut the **** up about it.
And he's again pushing the idea that NATO aggressively expands east and downplays any notion that countries would actually want to join the alliance. And why would they want to join the alliance? Does anyone want to take a wild guess? Is anyone naive enough to think that if the Baltics and Poland et al were just swinging in the wind, that Russia wouldn't have attempted to bring them back into the Russian sphere, even unwillingly? Is anyone even more naive to think that there's some great grá in the former Warsaw pact countries for Russia? I suppose all those countries leaving the USSR and becoming pro-western was just a load of subterfuge, was it?
If Zelensky and his predecessor were handpicked by the USA, and if Ukraine's pivoting away from Russia is really all just a carefully orchestrated American psy op, then it begs the question why the Ukrainian people are fighting Russia so hard and didn't decorate their tank muzzles with garlands of flowers. That's a reality that cannot be deflected from. We know what happens to US-picked leaders of countries in the past if their will goes against that of the people. They don't last. Ask the Shah of Iran or the recently deposed government of Afghanistan. But the people of Ukraine are fighting for Zelensky.
I agree that there is enormous geo-political interest for the USA to bring Ukraine into its sphere, but that doesn't detract from Ukrainians themselves wanting to align to the West because it could be seen as a more beneficial relationship. Russia doesn't just get to say that Ukraine is its b*tch and everyone else needs to back off. Russia must prove that it is a more worthwhile partner, and that is not achieved by smashing the country apart. That will only sow hatred for generations.
The most plausible reason is the successful free Ukraine in the EU holding up a mirror to their Russian neighbours. Putin undoubtedly sees a successful Ukraine as an existential threat to his kleptocratic regime. It is likely any future threats to his Authority will come from or be heavily influenced by Ukraine. It is entirely in Putins interests to start this violent war. There is no other reason. It is of no benefit to the Russian people quite the opposite as can be seen in real time by the mass exodus.
it has nothing to do with NATO exapansion.
It has nothing to do with 8 years of Donbas oppression.
it has no equivalence to the Cuban missile crisis.
it has no equivalence to Iraq.
it has nothing to do with creating a unipolar world. Etc etc etc
it is all about Putin preserving his grip and exploiting the Russian people and resources.
All other arguments are BS and have been demonstrated and proven multiple times on this thread.
"Russia are in Zaporizhzhia"
Where to start?
Sorry pal i don't have Fox News. Try again.
Have you any evidence Russia carried out the attack?
The force is stronger in Zelensky.
Russia will not receive a new territory of Ukraine.
Russia will add itself to the catastrophe that it has brought to the occupied territory of our country.
The price that one person in Russia wants to continue this war will be that the entire Russian society will be left without a normal economy, without a decent life and without respect for any human values.
It can still be stopped.
But in order to stop this, we will have to stop the one in Russia who wants war more than life.
Your life, citizens of Russia.
Tomorrow is one more day of our struggle, one more day on the road to victory. What will be special for us? This day will become one more crock, which will bring us closer to the safety of the world. Until the restoration of our territorial integrity. For the sake of whom, millions of Ukrainians fight and practice.
Tomorrow there will be a special meeting of the RNBO, as I called. There will be solutions.
We know how to react to the Russian spirits.
Does Putin admit to throwing people out of windows?
Did Putin admit to invading Ukraine? He's still calling it a 'special military operation'
Again, present the evidence Russia carried this out. I'm open to be convinced but everything i've read and watched on here presents zero evidence. We are either about facts or we are not.
I'm fairly sure olestoepoke has contrarian opinions to the moon landings too if you want to go down that rabbit hole ... 😂
Gorbachev himself put an end to that rumour a few years ago in an interview that there was no such agreement between NATO and Russia not to expand east.
It is abundantly evident that Russian President Vladimir Putin is no fan of NATO. Indeed, he displays a pronounced—almost obsessive—antipathy toward the Alliance. He claims that NATO took advantage of Russian weakness after the collapse of the Soviet Union to enlarge to its east, in violation of promises allegedly made to Moscow by Western leaders. But no such promises were made—a point now confirmed by someone who was definitely in a position to know: Mikhail Gorbachev, then president of the Soviet Union.
This was raised once a low level state department meeting I believe it was ,and that's as far as that conversation ever went,
It wasn't until years after we get these nato agreed this and Nato agreed that America this and America that .
All we ever get in speeches but nothing ever to back it up
He's still in power, so...
the open minded need a sub thread of their own
It's called the Conspiracy Theories forum
