If this war has proven anything it’s that Russia isn’t really a threat to anyone besides backwater shitholes. China is a global superpower. Russia is at best a regional bully.

EVeryone else in the world takes notice. This is just like they took notice of the Afghanistan debacle. If it were not for owning a stockpile of nukes, no one would take Russia seriously. If we invaded it would be akin to invading Grenado, or Iraq

Well this is an interesting series of events

quote:

1/2??In order to prevent the liberation of the occupied territories, the Kremlin will try to annex the Luhansk and Donetsk regions, as well as announce a full mobilization in the Russian Federation.

2/2 This was stated by the head of the Luhansk Regional Military Administration Serhii Haidai in an interview with LB. In his opinion, having annexed the occupied territories, the Kremlin can accuse Ukraine of attacking the Russian Federation.
Roughly 4 hours ago by @Flash43191300 (all tweets by the same)

An hour later (3 hours ago)
quote:

1/2??Russia will not declare war on Ukraine or mobilization in the near future, – the representative of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Defense Ministry Vadym Skybytskyi says during the telethon.

2/2 “Putin does not admit that he doesn't not achieve his main goal of occupation in a short time. He continues the so-called “special military operation” and does not want to admit that this is really a full-scale war against Ukraine and its people”, – Skybytskyi emphasizes.


Another hour later (2 hours ago)
quote:

??"Martial law and mobilization in Russia will not be declared yet", – Russian Senator Andrii Klymov says.

The Kremlin also called off the vote in South Ossetia after its local government had scheduled a vote

China isn't invading countries in Europe


The only ignorant one is you. China is doing more damage to America than Russia has even thought of. They have stolen our technology and bought up farm lands and industrial business. Seriously anyone that thinks Russia is more of a threat than China is a moron with no clue of reality in the world except for what CNN tells them.

I can't believe how many down votes this got. I guess facts are too emotional.

China is not involved in the Russia-Ukraine Conflict

I’m sure the threat(s) China poses deserves its own thread

I wonder if Hunter and Zelenskyy ever texted Biden for money at the same time.

Volodymyr Zelenskyy, President of Ukraine, ordered the Ukrainian military to re-establish control over coastal regions in southern Ukraine. Ukraine is amassing a million-strong fighting force in order to achieve this goal.

Source: Oleksii Reznikov, Ukraine’s Minister of Defence, in an interview for The Times [of London]

Details: "Ukraine is massing a million-strong fighting force equipped with western weapons to recover its southern territory from Russia," The Times wrote.

Reznikov said that President Zelenskyy had ordered Ukraine’s military to retake occupied coastal areas which are vital to the country’s economy.

Quote from Reznikov: "We understand that, politically, it’s very necessary for our country. The president has given the order to the supreme military chief to draw up plans. After that the general staff are doing their homework and say to achieve this goal we need XYZ […] This is my job. I’m writing letters to counterparts in partner countries […]"
I Wonder if Ukraine is feeling pressure from Westerners doubting their ability to retake occupied territory? You already here some grumbling about the not insignificant amount of money being sent.

I disagree. Western nations Not reacting during the Russian annexation of Crimea back in 2014 is what contributed to this mess. Lesson learned.

Interesting indeed.

Seems either some miscommunication/jumping the gun or attempted hand forcing from those who believe more is needed to win.

That is hilarious! Thanks for posting. I never thought that we'd see the day when a T34/85 would again be in combat.

The last time that tank dominated a battlefield was when North Korea invaded with about 150 of these back in Summer, 1950.

You're obviously extremely naive to World affairs. Look I hate Russia. I love America but if you think all the blame for this is on Russia you would be wrong.
Our CIA overthrew Ukraine leadership in 2014. We are just as much at fault as anyone.
We have 100% seen the Biden family,along with other elite democratic families, use Ukraine as their money kickback scheme yet the majority of you in here don't question us sending billions of dollars WITH NO OVERSITE what so ever. Look if you want to support Ukraine then by all means cut them a personal check or go fight. Y'all cannot be this blind.
