War in Ukraine

[rjd970]

Twitter gives a good insight into what's going on on the ground. That's why I like checking it.

You do have to separate the wheat from the chaff though.

My issue is the sheer amount of chaff out there driven by a "look at me" self-important complex and the mystery around somebody's need for followers/validation on the internet.

I'm fairly certain Biden and Obama had more meetings with Putin over the years than Trump. Democrats love Putin.

You obviously didn't watch that video. It has nothing to do with a meeting between Trump and Putin. At the 1:17 mark, an audio recording plays, and you can hear Trump praising Putin's justification for this latest incursion into the Ukraine as "genius". Trump then lauds Putin for being "savvy".

I'm fairly certain that neither Biden or Obama ever referred to acts of Russian military aggression as being "genius," or commended Vladimir Putin for being "savvy."

Ah hell. This has to be military posturing. Showing Russia where they cannot go.

Does anyone know the vaccination rates of these invading Russian soldiers? Did anyone check status at the border?

 

[Paper_Towel]

Are those Russian or Ukrainian tanks?

Those were Russian.

These ones are Ukrainian:

Russian forces to taking airfields within miles of Kiev. Looking like this is going to go the wrong way for Ukraine pretty quickly.

Because Putin played Biden, your boy, like the weak fiddle he is.

Frankly it was to be expected. Ukraine is vastly outgunned.

Try and keep up. Covid is so yesterday news, the new en vogue today is WW3.

To be fair Putin has spoke out against much of this wokeness and gender ideology that has been going on. His actions against Jehovah Witnesses have been eerily similar to democrat heroes Lenin and Stalin though.

Putin is a moral communist, I guess he tolerates Christians (though Jehova witnesses are not Christian). He tolerates Christians more the the dem party.

Thanks. Looks like this isn't going to last very long. I had hoped for Russia to bog down a little. Can't say I'm surprised though.

 

[RikidyBones]

The left spent four years crying wolf about ww3 for it to happen under their leadership. This is a simulation. Nothing more.

He didn’t play anyone. He didn’t outsmart or fool anyone.
He’s just starting a war because of hurt feelings and resentment.

 

[Volbucky]

I see we are in the Twitter posting phase of a crisis now. TikTok and instagram is on deck....

It’s called news, Welcome to 2022

 

[happy-go_vol]

What is so crazy to wrap my head around is we are actually getting to watch war happen live with technology and social media. Never thought I would see this.

The Bible talks about this technology, or refers to it.

Most everyone agrees with the intelligence that Putin helped Trump get elected. If he was so scared of him, why would he do that? Trump certainly seemed to make it easier for Putin all through his adminstration-- abandoning the Kurds, siding with him over the CIA, weakening NATO, ignoring bounties on our soldiers, blackmailing Ukraine (to the point of getting impeached over it)

Well, no; let's at least begin with an accurate premise. The intelligence doesn't show that Putin helped get Trump elected, or that $1.5M in social media posts had any effect at all or changed a single vote. Further, the IRA trolls also posted support for Stein and Bernie to damage Clinton until she became the nominee. Clinton became Putin's target because she attempted to delegitimize Putin's election and was most likely of major candidates to cause a war.

This is simply wrong; whatever the clumsy public diplomacy of his remarks, no president since Reagan has braced Russia as Trump did by his actions. The Kurdish PKK is classified as a terrorist group by the U.S and has been warring with Turkey since the mid-80s; the Kurdish PYD is aligned with them. With Turkey as a NATO ally, where did you think the stagnant policy re: the Kurds was going? It's time we ceased dangling some ethereal homeland promise to them so we use them in proxy wars. At least they can take practical stock of their situation.

You should have been skeptical of the Russia agent/collusion narrative from the outset. That CIA, FBI, and DOJ were not, shows incredible ineptitude and corruption. As Barr stated, they knew in Jan 2017 there was nothing there and should have terminated investigations, but instead doubled down with a 'find any crime' junket and try to leverage it. And as IG Horowitz testified despite the assurances of Dems and some RINOs that the dossier played virtually no role in the FISA warrants, Horowitz stated it played a central role. The FISC applications had been denied multiple times inside FBI before getting a greenlight on the basis of the dossier. So, Trump was absolutely right in his assertion he was being spied on and correct to not trust any of them.

Weakening NATO by haranguing them to increase their defense spending? Even now, with Russia - the reason for that harangue - invading Ukraine; you don't get it - really?! The bounty was and remains purely intel rumor, and non-actionable. Being impeached twice by the most radical House in history is a badge of honor, and is the reason the Senate was established as a check on House radicalism for impeachment and legislation.

You read like a purposely malinformed caricature. About the only thing you got right is that Putin is not afraid of Trump. Nor is he afraid of any American president.
But he's invaded twice while Biden was in the WH; he didn't do that in the interim, Trump period.

Honestly curious where it says that? No saying it doesn’t, I’d just like to check it out

There are other videos of Russian tank convoys with the same fate. Ukraine has done well in shooting down Russia’s helicopters. Ukraine is currently counterattacking around Kyiv where Russian VDV (airborne) have dug in around an airbase.

The overboard diversity stuff with the military absolutely deserves mocking.

Ok.

But that's a matter for another thread.

In this threads, we had a dozen GOP posters who flatly insisted that Biden and the media were wrong about Putin's intentions.

Biden was ABSOLUTELY CORRECT. The posters here WERE DEAD WRONG. In every respect.

And rather than admit it, you resort to "isn't it weird we have gay people in the military?"

Just pathetic. Admit Biden was right and you were wrong.

Russia ready to negotiate with Ukraine – Kremlin

Moscow is willing to negotiate terms of surrender with Kiev regarding the ongoing Russian military offensive currently taking place in Ukraine, Kremlin Press Secretary Dmitry Peskov said on Thursday.

According to Peskov, Russian President Vladimir Putin has expressed his preparedness to engage in discussions with his Ukrainian counterpart, with a focus on obtaining a guarantee of neutral status and the promise of no weapons on its territory.

These are terms that, according to Peskov, would enable the achievement of the demilitarization and denazification of Ukraine, and eliminate what Russia currently views as a threat to the security of its state and people.

Trump's head was spinning from his love affair with Putin. He was already well on his way to dismantling NATO. Why would Putin take Ukraine by force when Trump would have let him have it for free if he had been reelected.

This is the most idiotic and most uninformed statement I’ve read on here. Trump made NATO countries honor their agreement of military spending to fund NATO. The European countries had been grifting of the US for years. NATO spending and finding went up under Trump. Theses are facts.

It refers about the last days with Israel, and how the world will witness Israel going to war. I can't remember the verse but many people don't considered the world actually Watching it. Now, you have live feeds of Jerusalem 24-7. I'll find the verse.

I hope they make it very costly for Russia. I don't celebrate deaths but the Ukrainian people didn't want this, Russia decided they did.
