According to CNN, Russia is now sending a convoy of armored vehicles that is 40 MILES long toward Kyiv. That is going to be…challenging to deal with

The table might get so big that Russia will be able to pretend he isn't there.

Reposting for a new page. This is serious economic escalation by the US if this is accurate







Seizing assets is a huge step up in financial warfare from the US and it's allies. It's one thing to freeze the assets of these assholes until the sanctions are dropped. Seizing them is a whole other matter. It's one thing to hold out until the bank clears your deposit. It's a whole other world when the bank just takes your shit and tells you to pound sand.

My view is totally based on video games and Star Ship Troopers though so for all I know a suitcase sized Nuke has as much megaton power as Fatman and Little Boy over Japan.
Fat man and Little boy were tiny nukes, just 20 kilo tons. The MOAB, for example, is in the 10-15 kt range and is a conventional explosive (not deliverable by artillery or torpedo though).

Assuming anyone still had nuclear artillery rounds those were in the same ballpark in the 50's, who could say what they might be capable of today.
 
I started reading a bit more into the Ukrainian military and this rubbed me the wrong way.

How can a modern nation (mind you a nation, not some random racists in the country) have Nazis??? An entire military branch filled with Nazis. The equivalent of this would be if the US military had a KKK branch. wtf???

And then saw this as well... Tweeted by the National Guard



If a country wants to win the hearts, minds, and support of those abroad it really should not be doing this.

People will tell you that these "nazis" are privately funded, ignoring how it was funded literally by the US before 2018 (maybe still) and how it's part of the Ukraine military.

People also ignored how the UN General Assembly in December 21, "Combating glorification of Nazism, neo‑Nazism and other practices that contribute to fuelling contemporary forms of racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance", was voted against by the US and Ukraine.

Or how these motherfuckers were present in the HK protests under a Press badge doing fuck knows what.

But I guess this is all Russian propaganda and because the President is Jewish (like this would go against the funding and permission to live along-side Nazis for his own political gain - a clear possibility on this sick sick world).

Oh... it's you... you didn't even bother the open the links I provided. But ignorance is bliss, and makes you believe that your hate towards the East makes you somewhat valuable.


Don't forget your daily Instagram story with the #PrayForUkraine hashtag.
Oh no I saw them. I am sure that the US was funding a neo-nazi militia in Ukraine and I also believe that the Ukranian government headed by a Jewish president also supports those same neo-nazis. I mean it makes sense that a Jewish man who nearly lost his whole family in the holocaust would run cover for some neo-nazi extremists that are operating within his own country.


I am also sure that entire world's media would somehow miss these apparently easily proven facts and just ignore them forever without issue and that you and only you are aware of the evil ugly truth about Ukraine. Thanks for bringing it to my attention man.

In many countries, only the existence of such groups would be enough for people being charged and even going to jail. Let’s try not to find excuses for such things to exist.

Not sure I get this Canadian ban on Russian oil imports. Isn’t Canada one of the biggest oil producers in the world?

I am not aware of their political reality but they should consider that when joining NATO they will become one of the battlegrounds for superpowers to flex their muscles.
I never said that. You are quoting someone else.

I find it funny that the crowd who will say “How can Ukraine be Nazi’s? Their president is Jewish!” Are also the same people who will say the Proud Boys are racist, when they had/have(?) a black leader..



I don’t think the Ukraine is filled with nazi’s… and I think the proud boys are full of racists. I just think it’s funny.

Man, you're fucking hilarious. You're so naive and clearly choose to be dumb because you want to hate Russia so much, your reasoning has disappeared. I'm not talking about lizards pulling the Earth or how the Earth is flat, friend, I'm talking about shit that actually happened and has been happening for many fucking years, coming from both sides.

But hey, it's fine. Also, don't forget to go to Twitter and make up some emotional text supporting Ukraine or sharing some more pictures of the "Ghost of Kiev". And in your free time, go study some geopolitics, because you clearly have no fucking idea what you're talking about.

LOL yeah, but "THE PRESIDENT IS JEWISH". You mean to tell me a politician isn't willing to sell out his faith for power :messenger_tears_of_joy:

Explain to me why the entire world media have not capitalized on the very obviously factual and totally real idea that the US government and the Ukrainian government did all the things you just claimed.


I'll wait :)

Never happened. Politicians are people with values, respectable. Selling out? Never happened. No. No. Never.

Ah yes, the western press is clearly gonna go all out and publicly show how rotten the US Foreign Affairs actually are. Get your head out of the sand, it's not only Russia and China that have propaganda. If you want to learn more you need to dig deeper, you can't expect the NY Times or Washington Post to show these things.


And btw, all the links I provided are basically western news. If you ACTUALLY read through them, and checked the links on the wikipedia page, then you would see it. But hey, you do you. I'm happy with being a critical thinking person.

Forget it, you are a lost cause. Go to the streets protest Russian invasion of Ukraine in the streets of some random US city. That will clearly show them.

Not surprising.


Money > War Crimes and Human Rights in that neck of the woods
Actually I am sure Saudis are looking at this and seeing dollar bills... That's all they think about, they don't give a shit about anything else as has been proven over and over again..

I am talking about the Crown and their ilk, not the people.

Are you seriously basing your argument on an article from the "World Socialist Website"?

HOLY SHIT that website.. FUCK.. Hysterical fearmongering from top to bottom.

True. I guess that money over life mindset sits mainly with the dictators in charge.

The exact count? A fucking lot at last count.


Russia is going to lose a shit load of it's armored vehicles trying to take Kyiv.

The wikipedia link on the right basically states the same.

Notice how it "blocked military aid". You can also check here and here. Which means, they were one time, helping this group.

How much? No exact value, but looks like they did help.

The wording is very questionable. Limits, not stops, limits.

It's honestly amazing just how far propaganda can go with some people even when it is obviously just bullshit.

So there is zero evidence that the United States funded this group in any way.. The article itself says so. The Provision was obviously added after it became known by members of congress that the group had that sort of makeup.

EDIT:

I mean did you even read the article?

"U.S. officials have said vetting required under the so-called Leahy Law already prevents the United States from aiding Azov. The Leahy Law bans U.S. aid from going to groups when the “secretary of State has credible information that such unit has committed a gross violation of human rights.”

Genuinely curious if they think the whole world ostricizing Russian and cornering the oligarchs is a great idea..

I get the motive behind it all but what are the chances they see no future and say fuck it all. hopefully someone is considering the ramifications here.

I don’t like hearing people talk about the scorched earth scenario. Speaking it into existence :messenger_anxious:

Really hoping it’s not going to happen.

People cheer this stuff on but i don't think they realize whats being setup in Ukraine.

Unless Russia leaves Kyiv's future could very well be a repeat of Grozny;

grozny-war-chechnya-north-caucasus-8.jpg


It was brutal. If you think Russia suffering large military defeats is going to make them turn around, pick up a book on Grozny.
Grozny didn't happen with the whole world watching in real time with by the minute updates and a smartphone in every hand. If Russia goes full scorched earth on Ukraine then that is the end of Russia as far as Putin's Regime goes. The world outside of China and Russia's puppets would never do business with Russia again until Putin either steps down or is removed. This is not Afghanistan, Vietnam, or Iraq where the world will just hang back and watch. This situation is so far beyond that at this point. Not only is the world watching, but the world support Ukraine in its fight against this tyranny. The world's politicians will see that unanimous support and act accordingly.



Not saying it will not happen, but if it does? That is the death of modern Russia. Full stop.

Kyiv is also a historical site for the orthodox church, which could be another reason it’s not being bombed to hell
