KeLLy1278 Posted February 13 Posted February 13 After Ukraine’s behavior towards Poland during WWII, I don’t really care about Ukraine’s problems. Perhaps we should talk about how they “helped” Polish civilians during WWII. Hehe.. Ukraine is among the most systematically corrupt nations in the world. Easily top five but more like top three. Half the aid sent there will result in bureaucrats upgrading their yachts and finally getting the villas they always wanted. Trash. 1 3

Tiberius Posted February 13 Author Posted February 13 https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/02/12/house-ukraine-johnson-senate/ There are efforts underway to go around Johnson and pass the bill through a Democratic-led discharge petition. Democrats need to gather at least four signatures from Republicans supportive of Ukraine funding to be able to introduce the petition, which probably wouldn’t happen until the end of the month, given the congressional calendar. Its path would still be tricky in the House, given that some Democrats have objected to the Israeli government’s handling of the war in Gaza, where most homes have been destroyed or damaged, more than 12,300 children have been killed and a quarter of the population is starving, according to the United Nations. Enough Republicans would need to support the bill to make up for those Democrats who would not vote for the bill over the aid to Israel.
Tiberius Posted February 13 Author Posted February 13 Let's keep the pressure up. The Russians are stretched thin now https://www.dailystar.co.uk/news/world-news/putin-raise-age-military-service-32113745 Vladimir Putin is attempting to raise the age limit for army officers to 70 in a bid to bolster numbers, UK military intelligence has reported. The move comes as Russia continues to lose large numbers of its troops in the ongoing war in Ukraine. The country is believed to have an estimated 1.3m military personnel, about twice the number of Ukrainian servicemen – but not all are fighting in the war. A statement released today (Tuesday, February 13) by the Ministry of Defence (MoD) said: "Russia is proposing a draft legislation to raise the age of military contract personnel, including those that were recruited before June 2023, to age 65 and age 70 for officers.

At least we know what Ole tuck is getting out of it.... It wasn't Russian propaganda. It came from western media sources. Now tell me those western media sources are fueled by Russian propaganda. 2
ChiGoose Posted February 13 Posted February 13 Russia preparing for military confrontation with West, says Estonia ""Russia has chosen a path which is a long-term confrontation ... and the Kremlin is probably anticipating a possible conflict with NATO within the next decade or so," Kaupo Rosin told reporters at the release of Estonia's national security threats report. A military attack by Russia is "highly unlikely" in the short term, he said, partly because Russia has to keep troops in Ukraine, and would remain unlikely if Russian buildup of forces was matched in Europe." Full Estonian Intelligence Report "Putin aims to secure victory in Ukraine to demonstrate geopolitical superiority over the West and reshape the European security landscape. While Putin may believe that time is on his side, counting on Western and Ukrainian fatigue, the West should not overestimate Russia’s strategic planning. As an intermediate goal, Russia would likely prefer to freeze the conflict on its own terms. To achieve this, Russia employs nuclear intimidation and covert communication." (Executive Report Item 7.) "Russia has largely managed to maintain its position in most former Soviet territories outside the European Union despite the ongoing war in Ukraine. Moldova, however, stands out as it continues to pursue a pro-Western course at the national level. Russia is attempting to tilt Moldova back into its orbit by influencing the country’s electoral process in 2024-2025." (Executive Report Item 8.) "Russia and China both share opposition to the United States and its allies, but unlike Russia, who is preoccupied with its war in Ukraine, China focuses more broadly on realising its global ambitions, seeing and cultivating its partnership with Russia within a larger framework, seeking to establish a global network that operates on China’s terms. Chinese and Russian media and ideological cooperation are likely to align the foreign policies of both countries further." (Executive Report Item 12.) Seems like it might be a good idea to crush Russian imperial ambition now instead of going the appeasement route... 1 1
Tiberius Posted February 13 Author Posted February 13 Gees, why didn't "corrupt" Ukraine want Russia running their lives? Hard to figure https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2024/02/13/boris-kagarlitsky-kaja-kallas-russia/ RIGA, Latvia — A Russian military court on Tuesday sentenced Boris Kagarlitsky, a prominent sociologist, to five years in prison for criticizing the war in Ukraine — a shocking turnabout after another court originally ordered Kagarlitsky to pay a $6,500 fine but no prison time. The brutally toughened sentence was issued after an appeal from prosecutors, Russian state media reported, and it reflected a continuing harsh crackdown on the few dissident voices remaining in Russia after the February 2022 invasion of Ukraine. 1 1
