The idea that the US actively wanted war with Russia is regime propaganda. Biden was scarcely paying the slightest attention to Russia last autumn.....all of the sabre rattling and threats about Ukraine and NATO started coming from the fascist in the Kremlin. Russia was barely even an international story in late 2021 until Putin began kicking off.

Buddhism. A fascinating religion. How you exist in this life is directly linked to the life you led before, the idea being that in this life, you have the opportunity to change how you live your life, hopefully for the better. It can be summed up in the word "reincarnation".
72 posts. Reincarnation. Fascinating.
That particular poster seems to prefer not to talk about Putin, Russia or their actions.
All you're likely to get in response will be deflection and whataboutery.
President Zelensky says he has information that Russia has planted bombs at Kakhovska Hydropower plant and plans to blow up it, calls for international mission to prevent a disaster
The new Russian weapon of mass destruction
Negotiate Russia's retreat from Ukraine and how Russia will compensate them for the damage they have done? Great, let's get talking.
Cruise missile gets shot down-
White House NSC coordinator John Kirby says Iranian military personnel were on the ground in Crimea assisting Russian pilots who bombarded Kyiv with Iranian drones on Monday. "Iran is now directly engaged on the ground," Kirby says
the plot thickens
Let them square the circle on this. ISIL would have wanted to buy weapons. If Ukraine was so corrupt why were they not sold Small arms never mind RPG for example in the attacks in European cities.
Wasn't the Ukrainians???-
According to this video, from last night though, the UA are nowhere near Beryslav yet
...
Not good.
Interesting discussion about fracking, its banning, real impact, how it's regulated much tighter than other industries, and lies about burning tap water. How did we ended up here? Who benefits from the EU fracking ban? Yes.
We (meaning we the EU) could have been already independent from russian oil and gas. But we chose not to, lead by lies and propaganda and traitors.
That's a fairly serious allegation if it's proven to be true. Iranian military not just supplying but actively engaged in the theatre of war. Would surely be a major escalation putting Iran in this war.
Depending on who or what you believe the main Russian forces have withdrawn from Beryslav as of today
Coming our way too possibly this winter, Francie. Get the candles and oil lamps out.
Difficult but will just harden resolve to deal with these Russian and Iranian f***ers.
Indeed and further to that point: If we take the position that yep the dastardly Yanks decided to bleed Russia dry using Ukrainian bodies to do so and this has been known for years by the dogs on the street. And let's face it this would be a good enough plan for them. OK, then why did putin and all his advisors who surely knew about this clear trap walk straight into it?
Animation of what the impact of the destruction of the dam would be.
Looks to be a lot of towns on the east bank but critically also Kherson city itself on the west bank.
This is how world wars start.
Because he was intoxicated by his success in Chechnya?
Well Iranian forces shouldnt have boots on European ground, letting Iranian weapons rain down on European cities.
Iran needs a good kick up the hole.
I wonder is this potential flood the reason they evacuated Kherson?
cant be certain but this may be the dam
Interestingly, the initial regime reaction to this was all over the place and then they quickly seemed very anxious to pin the blame on the Ukrainians. The bridge being blown up by Russians would clearly be embarrassing but also potentially very risky for Putin in terms of optics.
Oh for Zeus's sake Wibbs, obviously the Americans pulled a kind of Jedi mind trick that forced the easy-going, peace-loving, benevolent Mr Putin to launch the invaxxx special operation against his own will.
Do keep up.
Israeli Prime Minister Lapid told Ukrainian foreign minister Kuleba that Israel is concerned by the deepening military cooperation between Russia and Iran
Iron Dome order en route
Its well known that Putin was whoring around Syria and other countries where they've been active, looking for effectively regular soldiers to become unmarked mercenaries with his forces.
It wouldn't be a great surprise to find Iranians of a similar profile being brought in as well.
Considering this war isn't a war (sic) then the Geneva Convention protections for uniformed combatants doesn't really apply.
Yes Iran should suffer for aiding the aggressor, but when it comes to their personnel on the ground, if they want to be there, then they can get blown to hell alongside all the Russian units.
and then creating a huge area russian troops have to go around.
Doesn’t look like it. The Nova Kahovka dam is a massive structure, with the generator hall and the sluice section of the dam spanning 650 meters, not including the locks for river ships or the earth dams that carry the approach roads. If you include those, the dam is nearly 3.5 kilometres wide. The river below the dam is equally wide, with the main channel spanning 300 meters, with side channels and low lying islands spanning around 2 km all the way down to Kherson.
It crossed my mind that it might be a suicide mission by somebody who really doesn't like the Russians. Someone who lost a loved one during a raid?
