So they buy their oil that fuels their war capacity but doesnt want a challenging media narrative to their own. Tells you everything you need to know.

Probably the people who get all defensive whenever putin knob gobbling is mentioned. It’s funny you seem to respond to every accusation in every thread regardless of who the accusation is leveled against.

Anyone who does not gobble up 100% of the propaganda that is being spread. It's just the new version of you're a racist bigot xenophobe Nazi & so on.

Protesters in Minsk have encircled the building of the General Staff of the Defence Ministry of Belarus and are chanting "Glory to Ukraine!" LINK
I've also seen where large numbers or Czech people have taken to the streets in protest. This is all very interesting.

Belarus is reportedly about to declare war on Ukraine.

he caption of this picture from April 21, 2021 of this tank with a V on it is: “Tanks of the Ukrainian Armed Forces are seen during drills at an unknown location near the border of Russian-annexed Crimea, Ukraine, in this handout picture released by the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine press service April 14, 2021
Those are also Russian vehicles. No Ukrainian vehicles went into city . Why would they?

The Czechs are probably the most staunch defenders of democracy and human rights in the world. They've stood up to China when the rest of the EU has been weak.
Plus, they have strong collective memories of the Soviet Union and absolutely hate Russia.

I wouldn't get too upset about Belarus. The declaration of war is unfortunately an excuse for Lukashenko to torture more protestors.

If Lukashenko wants to stay in power, he has to declare war on Ukraine. Countries have learned from the past, that doesn't mean their dictator has.

You do realize that Ukrainian and Russian vehicles are one and the same, do you not? That's why both sides have to mark their vehicles to begin with. They're all using the same shite.

Russian bank Tinkoff now offering to exchange rubles for dollars at a rate of 171 rubles per dollar. It was 83 before the European/US announcement about targeting the Russian central bank. Currency market formally opens tomorrow. This is brutal.

Those are the figures I’ve seen as well, just nothing on Ukraine from any side
I hear the numbers and think of American Pie 2 and "the rule of 3". I guess if they are shooting down troop carriers and blowing up tanks the death toll can rise quickly. With Russia's rolling crematorium is going to be hard to verify casualties. A crazy Putin moving nukes could be a very bad thing for the world if the citizens get wind of the truth and attempt a coup.

I think you need to stop spreading false narratives. This is going exactly to plan and Putin is playing 3D chess while the rest of us are playing checkers. This includes talks now on Ukraine’s terms and hurriedly declared nuclear deterrence because you know, you have to declare that publicly when you’re so sure about using them

I don’t know what Putin is going to hit back with but it’s probably going to be the biggest card he has left to play. He has no other choice with all this pressure placed on him. This is going to get very interesting.

ahh, so one can’t ask a question without being lumped into being a “Russian sympathizer” got it. Typical JK response. Care to link me to my Russian/Putin sympathy related posts….or you just talking out your arse as usual Johnny?
