Putin has proven himself to be irrational, nothing can be assumed anymore. Oh I'm not naive to what they're capable of but the average russian soldier is not going to be executing innocent people. They are not the SS they are mostly young soldiers, not well trained, well paid with short service contracts. If you start killing civilians the US will get involved and Russia will throw up their hands faster than the French. 1
HamSandwhich Posted February 25, 2022 Posted February 25, 2022 Just now, aristocrat said: Oh I'm not naive to what they're capable of but the average russian soldier is not going to be executing innocent people. They are not the SS they are mostly young soldiers, not well trained, well paid with short service contracts. If you start killing civilians the US will get involved and Russia will throw up their hands faster than the French. Or, they are the SS reincarnate and the soldiers have been brought up with this idea of Russia being the greatest nation. Perhaps they will be too scared to speak up? These types of comments many are making are too definitive for the situation. No one knows what Putin, a mad man, is thinking. If the US got involved, who's to say he didn't want that and wanted to start WWIII? 1

Tiberius Posted February 25, 2022 Author Posted February 25, 2022 Putin calling on Ukrainian army to rise up and overthrow the government 🤡 This while protests are breaking out in Moscow and other Russian cities
HamSandwhich Posted February 25, 2022 Posted February 25, 2022 I really hope this is not the start of a Sino-Rus push at world domination by force.

It happens but it's pretty rare especially recently as society has evolved. Hell Russia did it to their own citizens under stalin. I could be wrong but I don't see that happening here and sure there will be some civilians being killed but not mass killings and Putin knows that's a line he can't cross. I still am unsure of his real goals here tbh 1

France, Turkey Italy, Germany and Canada weren't. The claim is somehow made that the individual, as the elected representative of his country is responsible for weakening the alliance, while being burdened with a disproportionate amount of the bill., but those not paying their share are not weakening the alliance. Ya. that makes sense. Canada, by the way, as of 2016, was the lowest contributor as a % of GDP, which was the understanding, so they, of course, should have the greatest leverage in criticizing. At some point we may even get somebody to call out the uselessness of the UN, another burden we disproportionally fund. But we're a ways away from that. Trump was hellbent on destroying NATO and used financing NATO as a red herring to discredit and delegitimize NATO because ignorant people like you (DR / @Frat Train, @Precision etc) would buy it hook line and sinker. Who benefits from destroying NATO with easy access to Europe? Trump paved the way for what we are seeing today.

B-Man Posted February 25, 2022 Posted February 25, 2022 Somebody get the stick and poke @BillStime, he 's stuck again. Meanwhile: While Biden babbles on about sanctions that really don’t mean much since they don’t actually include RUSSIAN ENERGY, former Ukrainian president, Poroshenko, is fighting for his country. This interview on CNN is pretty damn epic. Watch: We especially like how he ‘takes up’ the rifle alongside civilian defense forces. Putin may have underestimated just how willing Ukrainians are to fight and sadly even die to protect their country. ‘How long do you think you can hold out?’ ‘Forever.’ Boom. https://twitchy.com/samj-3930/2022/02/25/hell-yes-cnn-asks-former-ukrainian-president-poroshenko-how-long-can-you-hold-out-and-his-answer-kicks-so-much-as-watch/ 3 1

Should the fact that France, Germany, Turkey, Italy and Canada weren't living up to their agreements gone unmentioned after years of this? It was about time somebody mentioned it. NATO will coalesce over this hideous invasion if it comes to that. Heck, even Finland and Sweden, non NATO countries are aligning Don't defend his actions because I didn't blame him. His complaint may be very factual, his methods are childish and causes extreme problems for countries who are aligned.
