Original thread:
If there were any doubts about just how murderous Putin is, or maybe people had forgotten previous assassinations carried out on Putins orders (Salisbury poisonings etc) that murder attempy will bring it all back into pubic focus again. Bad move, Vladimir, very bad move. There isn't an industrialist in the west who won't feel threatened now, and take proactive steps for safety, and not to mention a major attitude change regarding Putin.People dont like those who threaten them.
I don't think it is a big deal if Biden is forgetful etc. There are plenty people around him to counter any mistakes. There are also all kinds of protocol if the president becomes unreliable. It is not a big deal.
Yes the US weapons industry will do well in the fallout. If peace is bad for business then the US will pull out of NATO and other alliances it deems unprofitable.
I wouldn't care to be fair but when you have negative stuff being blasted in the TV stations and online about him then it's an issue. As that will just seep into people's brains on the run up to the election and if you have people in the democratic party calling into question Biden and maybe he should step aside then people will be thinking why should I vote for him. It's more I don't want to see that clown Trump in especially if it ends up if he does win that it helps Russia and hinders Ukraine greatly.
Unlike other US presidents, Trump has threatened to pull out of NATO, and he says a lot of things. Regardless of what happens or doesn't happen in the US, the war will continue entirely due to Putin (and his enablers)
The US had zero problem encouraging Putin to flex mussle after 9/11. Putin at Crawford ranch is an image many would prefer to forget.
Plus up until Obama Putin even talked of a strategic alliance with NATO.
Both Russia and the US are societies that believe they can invade other countries against international law.
A joy to see. I especially love the trademark hard chaw slouch and the slow-motion foot tap. And the attempt at a poker face. He was raging.
Da, da, tovaritch, we will see. How he wishes he could issue orders to one of his KGB bozos to carry out a bit of the old defenestration.
Mental gymnastics and tenuous reaches into the past aside, Biden isn't supporting Putin's invasion, on the contrary. Some other leaders are supporting Russia though.
I always hear the comparison between the US and Russia etc...
Seeing as how, without the US, allies would have lost WW2 and WW1, how much bigger (landmass) is the US now compared to the turn of the last century? They have been involved in dozens and dozens of conflicts, like Russia, but their reasons are vastly different.
Don't compare invading or going to war (even under flaky reasons) with a land grab or annexing.
Its about power and influence.
Would the house of saud be standing without the US?
Woman's rights in US client states aren't compatible either.
Doesn't matter when Trumpy does it. No one has any expectation that he knows what he's talking about. Knowing what he's talking about is what Biden's all about.
I'm not sure I believe the story about it being a russian that leaked the idenities but I hope these animals are running scared now
To hell with Modi, he nailed his colors to the mast when he gave Putin a big bear hug the very day russia slammed hypersonic missiles into the childrens hospital in Kyiv.
I dont know if indian is still in receipt of international financial aid, if they are, cut it off.
Any country with a space program and nuclear weapons program dont need extra funding, especially from any western countries
Well yes but he had to be nice because he wanted to get Indian fighters released from the Russian army, which he did. Realpolitik.
The mayor of Novokuznetsk created a “women’s battalion” of personal subordination due to the shortage of public transport drivers By the way, the local carrier, due to a lack of parts, engaged in “auto cannibalism”
Womens auxillary army basically called to deal with driver shortages due to the men sent off to die in Ukraine. Bus company now is raiding scrap yards to deal with parts shortages.

Clearly we need to listen more to Vidkun Orban.
According to Wiki, that's the city Ana Kriegel was born in.
May she Rest in Peace and the two boys die roaring.
Russians waiting in cover and listening for drones. They were spotted.
Meanwhile the talking heads on russan TV discuss Orban's travels.
Two Russians detained in Australia.
Unfortunately that doesn't matter. He said it himself, he could shoot someone in 5th avenue and they'd still vote for him. His base is so filled with hate, they'll vote for anyone who's anti establishment.
He's also a street fighter when it comes to talking down the opposition. He started early with the Sleepy Joe thing and it's grown from there. Bidens decline both physically and mentally has just added fuel to the fire Trump was already pushing.
The US don't annex land, they annex assets. Stay as long as it needs to make a profit then move on.
Other times they invade just to stop the spread of an idea yet we now have a situation of a dangerous idea sweeping the US like a virus and they've done nothing to counteract it. Their biggest foe has turned 40% of their people against their own country and they do nothing. They have some funny ideals.

Can you imagine what the spare parts situation for planes is like…….???
Highly unlikely to be the result of hostile action but sanctions could have played a part. The SSJ-100 has a lot of western components.
Sure, but for all the US faults and failings, just imagine a world without the US. Everything you find fault within the US, exists in far worse forms in the likes of China, Russia, Iran, N-Korea etc, but only in democratic America are people allowed to talk and protest about these things. At least they are for now, but if Trump wins the election, these rights and freedoms could well be lost.
They were testing its glide capabilities for when they have engine failures…
who picks the letters in the Indo? Some woman writing in today’s Indo saying NATO is the main danger to world peace and provoked Russia into invading Ukraine
