re: Latest Updates: Russia-Ukraine Conflict

And Poland says it will instantly strike St. Petersburg if the Baltic states are invaded.

I am of the opinion that if the US cuts off aide to Ukraine it makes it quite likely Poland enters the conflict in support of Ukraine.

I am not sure where it would go from there...

The Poles hold grudges like few others.

You remind me of the ones that pushed the Domino Theory during the Vietnam War. They were full of shite too.

So now you're crapping on Eisenhower? Maybe you are a Russian bot.

If the Russians did invade the Baltics, would you be man enough to admit that YOUR administration of Obama/Biden/Harris is at fault? They didn't stop them when they had the chance. Total and complete failure. 2014 and again in 2022 to the present day. Biden bitches about Obama not taking Putin seriously and blamed him for this mess. But Biden hired Obama's people and they have been running his Ukraine policy. Biden logic I guess.

If Trump is such a Putin lover like you say, why didn't Putin run wild and take Ukraine, Moldova or the Baltics when Trump was in? According to your logic he should have had a green light. He invaded Ukraine when your boys were in office. Both times I might add.

Are you stupid enough to believe that Russia could invade Nato? They have had a hard enough time in defeating Ukraine even with the total Biden/Harris fricked up policies. That is a joke.

You are a Leftwing Extremist neocon. A John Bolton with his nuts cut off.

Russia Raises Interest Rate to 21 Percent, Its Highest in Decades

---

quote:

---

Russia’s central bank raised the cost of borrowing in the country to its highest level in more than two decades on Friday in an effort to slow inflation that is being fueled by record military

---

quote:

---

It was the third increase in a row, and Elvira Nabiullina, the central bank’s president, said that interest rates could rise further later this year.

“We don’t see inflationary pressures slowing down,” Ms. Nabiullina, who maintains some policy independence from the Kremlin, told reporters after announcing the new rate.

---

quote:

---

Ms. Nabiullina implicitly blamed Russia’s war in Ukraine for the continued price increases. She said the Kremlin’s decision to raise spending by $15.5 billion next year, mostly to cover war-related costs, was overheating the economy and feeding inflation.

Did you realize that Obama did nothing in regards to Crimea because he needed the Russians to get his Iran Nuclear Deal? Anyone with a brain knows this. How is the Obama/Biden/Harris policy of supporting those Iranian centrists turned out? The problem is there are no Iranian centrists.

But what about your administration of Biden/Harris? How have they handled this war? How would you rate their performance? You are screaming that Putin will invade the Baltics. If your fantasy world comes true, who is to blame? Why haven't Joe and Kampala stopped him?

sounding like someone who would've stopped any of it?

The fact is: IT didn't happen under Trump. It all happened under your boys.

Bill Gates tried to HIDE his panicky 11th hour $50MM donation to Kamala because even he is trying to appear somewhat neutral. Why would he do that? He's always been proudly liberal.

I wouldn't advise Gates traveling to the Netherlands.

Key Takeaways:

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky warned that Russia will imminently deploy North Korean forces to unspecified combat zones on October 27 and 28, as Russian and North Korean officials continued to issue vague yet suggestive statements regarding the possible presence of North Korean troops in Russia.

Russian President Vladimir Putin signaled that Western “Ukraine fatigue” is encouraging Russia to continue its full-scale invasion of Ukraine and pursue its theory of victory predicated on Russia outlasting Western support for Ukraine.

Putin also continued to exaggerate Russian progress in Kursk Oblast, likely in an attempt to reassure domestic audiences of the Russian military's ability to suppress Ukraine's incursion into Kursk Oblast.

Russian President Vladimir Putin promoted former Donetsk People’s Republic (DNR) “Sparta” Battalion Commander and Plenipotentiary Representative in the Urals Lieutenant Colonel Artyom Zhoga to the Russian Security Council, likely in an ongoing effort to establish younger, pro-war figures within the Kremlin.

Kremlin Spokesperson Dmitry Peskov claimed that Russia does not seek to “influence” elections of other countries "unlike the West" amid continued evidence to the contrary.

Russian authorities swiftly responded to xenophobic riots in Korkino, Chelyabinsk Oblast on October 25, a marked change from Russian authorities' slow and disorganized response to the October 2023 antisemitic riots in the Republic of Dagestan.

German arms manufacturer Rheinmetall announced on October 24 that it recently delivered 20 additional Marder infantry fighting vehicles to Ukraine and noted that Germany financed the delivery of the vehicles.

Ukrainian forces advanced near Borki and regained lost territory near Chasiv Yar and Toretsk.

Russian forces advanced near Siversk, Pokrovsk, and regained territory near Obukhovka.

The Kremlin is continuing to forge new state-affiliated veteran societies and organizations likely in an ongoing effort to replace veteran organizations that have been critical of Russia’s conduct of war in Ukraine
