Strange how the Soviet propagandists aren’t all over this thread. Oh wait, these are quotes from their leader, Putin.
Hard to refute his own words.
I have a Putinista at my work, hard to believe how myopic she is.
My Soviet paratrooper friend was very quiet today. My Polish friend who used the be a tank commander in their army is quite worried about his countrymen - the Soviets are moving near their border again too.
My Ukrainian friend (ex Ukrainian Army living in BC) is effing livid - he says those who are still there will fight until the last man to push the Russians out.
If Russia does indeed take Ukraine, no Russian will ever be safe there.
This isn't the old days anymore where they could put Kremlin stooges into the government. Everyone will be taken out as brutally as the Mexican cartels take out "unfriendly" government officials there.
