Yes Russia did annex parts of Ukraine when you go on with force and absorb another countries territory that is literally the definition of annexation.
They were invited in to four autonomous regions of the Ukraine by those regions to resist violence and aggression from their own government in Kiev, who was violating agreements signed with Germany and France and Russia regarding procedures to proceed with negotiations that Kiev violated every day of the 8 years they were in effect.
Russia has more right to be there than US forces currently in Syria stealing oil.
Can say whatever you want doesn't change that's what happened and any nuclear attack on Poland will lead to a western nuclear response, then that lead's to the end of everything
I can say whatever I want, and so can you, but do you honestly think if Poland sends troops into the Ukraine on whatever pretext that Russia will just ignore them... if so then why doesn't the US send in the marines and the airborne to occupy just behind the front line so Russia can't move forward without risking getting nuked?
If Poland joins this conflict Article 5 means nothing at all and there is no requirement for any other HATO member to join or help them... especially after the missiles landing on their (Polish) territory start destroying things.
You want to play stupid games... win stupid prizes.
It's none-sense to think you can nuke a country who isn't directly marching on your capital and get away with it.
You mean like Imperial Japan?
It is absolutely necessary for Ukrainians to leave these cities. The Russian Armed Forces will no longer conduct a police operation. Such nonsense as it was in Mariupol, when the position of an enemy sniper/machine gunner could not be demolished because in a dilapidated five-story building "there can be civilians", will no longer apply.
And after all the horrific videos of tortures and shootings of our soldiers, the joyful reaction of a large number of Ukrainians to them, the attitude of soldiers and officers to "peaceful population" has changed somewhat.”
Interesting on its own...
I rember that in 2014- 2015, every time that vice president Boden visited Kiev, the 404 military (together with the neonazy battalions) increased the amount of shelling and bombardments against the Donbass.
And it reminds me that members like PD who want the head of the snake attacked and the whole country leveled would love the opportunity to kill the actual head of the snake himself Creepy Joe, without which this entire shit show probably would never have kicked off.
Is he a martyr being offered by those in power in the US to get rid of a problem and blame Russia for it?
What happens if a Ukrainian kills him like Maiden with the Georgian snipers hired to shoot both sides to get panic and hysteria to make changes you can't make in peace time with level heads...
I can imagine a growing need for Russian leadership to contain / curb the growing political influence of Prigozhin as to avoid lobbying or influence of public opinion.
They clearly don't care about public opinion as most Russians seem to want them to move faster yet they do not move faster to please the social media, they move at the pace they move to keep losses down.
Based on that I don't think they would withhold ammo and risk the lives of soldiers and allies either... perhaps they are crying wolf...
Oh, by the way, Prigo is Kremlins man and has no political ambitions. I think over so many years he proved that he is trustworthy and not some James Bond villain like media wants to portray him
The ammo resources of even Russia are not unlimited and if they are being diverted to other places ready for certain upcoming events then local shortages would be to be expected... but also not likely to last for long periods.
That's a cuck move by Russia. How does Russia know what the Anglo satanists have in mind ? They could have rooftop snipers ready to take Biden out. Then what ? All Russia had to say was we guarantee nothing.
Or hire some Georgian snipers and say it wasn't Russia...
Guys from VDV were just harvesting the whole area with ZU-23-2 on BMD ... That monster makes about 3x more firepower Laughing
Yes I know, it is just 2x more barrels, but those are cooled and can shoot longer Twisted Evil
Their belts are longer than 50 rounds per gun, and as you mention they are water cooled.
Honestly, I wasn't expected the US to wield such influence.
I knew Europe was a weak vassal, but didn't realise they were so flaccid they would accept being cut off from cheap energy by a so called ally and then thank them for it.
Theres seems to be a shitload of fanfare surrounding the upcoming speech by President Putin, a lot more than his previous speeches, I don’t see what he could possibly announce to warrant this kind of spectacle. We know Russia wont declare war, we know the conflict is a grind that won’t end any time soon so I assume some medals will be handed out and it will be just as underwhelming as the previous ones.
Some people are victims of their own over inflated expectations.
Perhaps he will announce new entries into BRICS, or perhaps he is going to cut all energy supplies to the west in response to all the bullshit the west is doing to Russia and all the terrorist activity going on...
