This week?
Breaking news from moscows cathy.
Next you will be declaring that Putin’s army is on the English channel
“You forgot the Biden red-light-backlit speech from a few weeks ago ALREADY? And the DHS declaration that right-wing terrorists are the worst threat facing the country? And the FBI being diverted from child pr0n/trafficking cases to go after MAGA supporters? You’re either unspeakably non-informed or a troll.”
Say, what??? Did you post to me by mistake?
Who cares what Putin wants. Martial law is what Traitorjoe's kakistocracy wants.
Well, I don’t know if *Putin* wants Biden to declare martial law, but Biden is going way over any line that any one else in the White House has ever crossed, in speaking of political enemies.
Hence I reminded you of the Biden speech and other items.
I agree, Putin isn’t necessarily the one behind it; but I think Biden is being at the least, reckless in his rhetoric.
Looks like the Samarkand Summit bore fruit.
The SCO members are clearly ok with these secessionary referenda. Otherwise they wouldn’t be happening.
Assuming the 3.5 Oblasts vote in favour of having pensions and heat and for not being predated on by vengeful thugs - then they will be fast-tracked into the Russian Federation.

Biden has ALWAYS been reckless in his rhetoric. The guy is an imbecile.
What were the stated goals of the invasion?
The de-Nazification of the Ukraine, and defending civilians in the Eastern parts of the Ukraine who had been being attacked by Zelensky et al.; tied up in that is the violation of the Minsk accords and the installation of the Zelensky govt. in 2014.
Incidentally, Zelensky had been a TV actor, in a sitcom about a nobody who became President.
Why do all the Democrats fete Zelensky after the Dems spent years trashing Ronaldus Magnus as “merely an actor” ?
Let me buy you a beer.
Head’s up to Freepers on this thread:
I saw on another thread that Joe Biden is scheduled to address the United Nations today. I do not know what time.
It will be interesting to hear what he has to say in response to Putin’s address.
I stand corrected.
Nonetheless, the Russians are wary of invasion from the West.
You didn’t answer my question, Comrade Whiskers. Who invaded whom?
‘They want war....They surely got one now’

“Shoygu tells who will be affected by mobilization
The mobilization will cover people who have served, primarily those with combat experience and a military registration specialty, Defense Minister Sergey Shoygu said.
“Those who have served and have the right military specialty will be mobilized. All those who have been drafted will not be sent to the zone of the reserve. There is no question of mobilizing students, nor will conscripts be sent to the Special Forces. A total of 300,000 reservists will be drafted during the partial mobilization,” TASS quoted Shoygu as saying.
He noted that Russia has a huge mobilization resource of those who have served, those who have combat experience and military specialization.
“We have almost 25 million of them. So you can understand that this mobilization is a partial mobilization, 1% or a little more, 1.1% of the total mobilization resource,” Defense Minister Shoygu stressed.”
Having lost the Battle of Britain and being required to give up Operation Seelowe, Hitler had only one possible place to get the oil that he needed.
Operation Barbarossa wasn't (as is often supposed) an act of madness on Hitler's part. It was literally the only chance he had to win the war.
It's a fascinating piece of history, which remains highly relevant today.
Obama's coup-regime in Ukraine invaded the territory of the breakaway states of LPR and DPR.
That was back in 2014.
Glad I could help.
Pure gaslighting, Comrade.
That’s right; I supplied the context in which the attack occurred.
But I don’t see you apologizing for pretending it happened in a vacuum, or by implication, that it was the first of many inevitable expansionist moves by Russia.
I don’t know for sure if I agree that it was the only reason; I have skimmed other sources (but not read or considered in detail enough to know if they are right) that Stalin was preparing to backstab Hitler by invading to the West, when Barbarossa was launched.
