So it is as I thought – original statement was little bit tamer than NEXTA presented in their tweet.

"That's why I've moved 12,000 American forces on the borders with Russia. Latvia, Estonia, Lithuania, Romania"

Can he say anything without making a mistake, I know this one isn't such a big deal but it's every fucking time and it's something a President should know. Such a fucking embarrassment.

What motivation would there be for doing that?

It's like the Korean DMZ but WIDER.

Ukraine is basically part of Russia, I'm sure that's what he had in mind when he said that.

Speaking of vodka I can afford, I buy Texan vodka. Drink straight or with water and lime. Good for keeping trim.

Consider how psychopathically hostile the reaction has been to the Russian invasion ( whether justified, or not ), every possible tool turned into a weapon from the financial system to social media to the internet itself, how every traditionally neutral body that stays away from politics, everything that usually has been apolitical, has become political and anti-Russian ( in very much the same way how every brand, every 'thing' had to vehemently demonstrate how they LOVE George Floyd and #BLM #Antifa #ACAB more than their neighbour ), and now this bullshit with biolabs in Ukraine, knowing there are some kind of ties between that country and Hunter/Joe, hearing that allegedly Russia found enriched uranium for weapon programs, all those videos from years ago about how NATO absolutely MUST station troops, nuclear missiles, and bases as close to Russia's borders as possible, etc, etc, etc.

Purely from that point of view, how much worse would Russia be, if they waited another year or three? What kind of shady shit would have happened, just how much more weapons systems would have been delivered to the Ukes, if they waited just a few more years? At this point it's beyond a reasonable doubt that United States have been meddling with the country in every sector, especially military. Every year there would be some kind of major sabre rattling with Russia, the people in charge have clearly been salivating over the thought of a war with Russia, they wouldn't be spreading such vitriolic propaganda, getting foreign citizens to sign up to kill/die over a foreigh patch of dirt we're not even allied with.

Something would have boiled over sooner or later, I am absolutely certain. And the only tears being shed, is the tears of regret that the Russians struck first.

Even the Vatican, neutral during WWII decided to throw away their neutrality for some points.

If true this would be better if it was due to reddit posts revealing their location.

Isn't this the 2nd group of men Reddit got killed? Remember the dude in the school

This is why the Russian military takes every one's phones. 1 Redditer fishing for upboats in their mix can kill 100 men.

Has Switzerland maintained their neutrality this time around?

Guys, can't we just stop all this by starting the hashtag #RussiaIsCancelled or #RussiaIsOverParty? Literally tens of white girls have stopped going to Costa Coffee and McDonald's over this, so surely it's just a matter of time until Putin has to retire.

That's a real shame. The gender diversity in that area just plummeted. Diversity by sex did just swing more in favour of Cis Women. We need to diversify Ukraine.

Under no circumstance does Russia want to accidentally shell Zelensky, their perfect 'win' requires either Zelensky surrendering or being captured alive and given a 'fair' trial.

I disagree. The old chestnut about dead political rivals becoming martyrs is nonsense. - Kill them and they can no longer oppose you. Leave them alive and you get South Africa.

What if, for example, they simply embark on a campaign of reducing the place to rubble for as long as it takes until the government in Taiwan gives up?

Unlikely. China desperately wants all the high tech Taiwan has.

Looking at it from google maps, it looks there isn't much difference between the distance in Ukraine and the Baltic countries from Moscow. My guess is that the simplest, more razor thin excuse/explanation for the war is that if Ukraine joined NATO in a few years then it would've been virtually impossible for Russia to take it or use it as a buffer state, so Putin figured it would be more practical for them to take Ukraine now while it still was basically unaffiliated.
Guess he didn't expect the world to go completely nuts over a forgotten country, and tards on the west to call for a full attack on Russian all over the world.

They’ve always thought like that have been saying it for a century. How do you think the Finland invasion started?

Nope. Also shocking.

This is precisely why Opsec is a thing and why Russia took their soldiers phones like an angry parent before the war began

That one time 4chan called a Russian Air Strike on a terrorist training camp was a beautiful thing and I'm glad the Russians learned from it. Hope the Reddit gold was worth it.
