Anti-Putin Russians based in Ukraine allegedly stage incursion into Russia
To be honest, we should’ve been able to predict this is what Russia would do. They can do far worse still without even using ☢️ weapons
Ukraine should’ve been given much more defensive capabilities earlier on
@John Smith Did anyone help Vietnam when USA invaded it for 20 years?
@Batman Ukraine should fight on their own. Not involving the world. When USA invaded Vietnam and spent there 20 years, Vietnam won by themselves
@RCA Dome Easy! China did; after US withdrew, China swiftly invaded Vietnam.
@RCA Dome US was there from 1960 to 1974 but it was a slow buildup; it was not an outright invasion like in Ukraine. US became more an more involved in Vietnam over time starting out with just advisors, then it got more and more drawn in then it became less and less after a peak in 1968. US never lost a battle in Vietnam but we lost the war. We had everything to win but maybe the strategy was flawed and with the crazy 60s, assassinations in US, demonstrations, negotiations, cease-fires,… Like I said, the best does not always win.
@moya kiska Not just my thoughts; current general consensus with few exceptions.
Didn’t all the internet geniuses say Russia will be out of missiles and artillery last May?
@Pipo juet look up Russia running out of missiles on youtube
I think it’s funny how many people are surprised that humans can’t predict the future and whine & cry about it. Who ties your shoe laces?
That’s why they had to buy more!
@Shawn Murray
It isn’t about seeing the future. It is about being stupid and believing everything you hear.
Bro, people on the internet dont know what they’re talking about. Yhwy look at news headlines and think they know all the facts.
lol ukraine tries to make a false flag so NATO can help but its russias fault XD
From at least the 17th century, most wars fought among major powers were not won and lost in a decisive battle led by genius generals directing tactical movements. They were long contests of endurance of fire and starvation, of marching armies ravaging the countryside, of months and even years’ long sieges of towns and cities. Even if there are geniuses present at a battle, war is too complex for even genius to control.
Generals may win battles, but they hardly ever win wars, for there really is no such thing as genius in modern war.
Winning a day of battle is not enough. You have to win the campaign, then the year, then the decade.
Winning at war is far harder than winning a battle. It takes far longer than those who launch the opening battles plan or hope. Cannae, Agincourt, Austerlitz, Tannenberg, Kiev, these names recall sharp images of grand victory and defeat. Yet, winning such lopsided battles did not ensure victory in war. Hannibal won at Cannae, Henry V won at Agincourt, Napoleon won at Austerlitz, the Kaiserheer won at Tannenberg; Hitler won at Kiev. Then Carthage lost to Rome, England lost to France, Napoleon lost to the Grand Alliance, Imperial Germany lost to the Allies, and Hitler lost it all, utterly and catastrophically, in a war of mass attrition unequalled in history. In each case, short war delusion and the allure of battle met hard attrition and long war reality.
The biggest modern wars started from short-war delusion before turning into wars of exhaustion, expanding in destruction and tragedy as the opening vanity of elites was supplanted by the aroused vanity of nations and empires. The largest wars were won not by a great battle or even a series of battles, but by weight of matériel joined to moral capacity to endure terrible losses, suffer early defeats yet stay in the fight, endure horrendous losses yet survive and commit to fight again, and again and again.
@Milley Isasoyboy who cares about dumb push up anyways
Russia isn’t a major power nor was it ever. The soviet union truly collapsed during the Reagan Era. They were a society set up for failure, and that’s what they did, fail.
Bla bla bla

@Milley Isasoyboy yeah, the guy sounds like an armchair expert lol

After 19 years since the beginning of the invasion of Iraq, has the West forgotten this war?
The Iraq war is said to have resulted in 1 million deaths the difference is russia have weapons of mass destruction
A message to the future generations never make russia feel threatened
the difference between “looking dangerous” and “being dangerous”.Russia
describes military doctrine as defensive military doctrine. With regard
to nuclear weapons specifically, Russia reserves the right to use
nuclear weapons: in response to the use of nuclear and other types of
weapons of mass destruction against it or its allies,in case of
aggression against Russia with the use of conventional weapons when the
very existence of the state is threatened
Russia has the World’s Largest Bomber
As of 2022, the Federation of American Scientists estimates that Russia possesses 5,977 nuclear weapons, while the United States has 5,428; Russia and the U.S. each have about 1,600 active deployed strategic nuclear warheads.
Russia has the most nuclear weapons of any country, at 6,257. Of these, 1,458 are active, meaning they are already deployed, 3,039 are available (can be deployed if needed) and 1,760 are retired (out of use and awaiting dismantlement
How do Russian nuclear weapons compare to the rest of the world?
Russia – 6,257
America 5,550
UK – 225
France – 290
China – 350
Israel – 90
Pakistan – 165
India – 156
North Korea – 40
When you tell the truth it’s always gonna be controversial.

Never forget who’s the real threat to the world !!
Who have killed more people in last two decades ?
America or Russia
how many people have been killed and wounded in Iraq since the 2003 United States invasion. However, we know that between 184,382 and 207,156 civilians have died from direct war related violence caused by the U.S., its allies, the Iraqi military and police, and opposition forces from the time of the invasion through October 2019. The violent deaths of Iraqi civilians have occurred through aerial bombing, shelling, gunshots, suicide attacks, and fires started by bombing. Many civilians have also been injured.
Because not all war-related deaths have been recorded accurately by the Iraqi government and the U.S.-led coalition, the numbers are likely much higher. Several estimates based on randomly selected household surveys place the total death count among Iraqis in the hundreds of thousands.
Several times as many Iraqi civilians may have died as an indirect result of the war, due to damage to the systems that provide food, health care and clean drinking water, and as a result, illness, infectious diseases, and malnutrition that could otherwise have been avoided or treated. The war has compounded the ill effects of decades of harmful U.S. policy actions towards Iraq since the 1960s, including economic sanctions in the 1990s that were devastating for Iraqis.
Despite more than $100 billion committed to aiding and reconstructing Iraq, many parts of the country still suffer from lack of access to clean drinking water and housing.
Why did Native Americans lose their land?
Starting in the 17th century, European settlers pushed Indigenous people off their land, with the backing of the colonial government and, later, the fledging United States.

Legend has it 1 million Iraqi’s died, not too long ago.
Pepperidge Farm remembers
And UN puppets were missing in action I Iraq. Legend has it Palestinians children die daily under Israeli occupation daily with gross human right violations and Jokesters at (UN) sits quite again due to their western handlers
Uday & Qusay remember
Legend said US and NATO is responsible for Ukraine’s chaos.
I did warn very early on in the war that Russia would do this. The West is showing weakness and that gives Putin hope.
Happens during war.
F U crane!
just like iraq
The guy asking questions about what russia will do about cars and phones on TV will be falling out of a window soon 😥
What do you expecting?? What kind of war that the invaders allow the invading country to have water, power, internet, & freedom like the Ukraine has?? Rusia was too nice! US would never treated Ukraine like that! People forgot how US treated Cuba when it wanted Soviet missiles on its land! It was not even right next to US & what happened to that?? Ukraine started all this by underestimating Rusia’s reaction by putting an actor in the most powerful position in its country!
I LOVE Ukraine, and I’ve always felt distant to Russia, even moreso lately. And I am extremely sad about what is going on Ukraine.
BUT;
Ukraine trying to enter NATO and to buy Patriots from US, while being at the border of Russia was as absurd as Mexico or Canada entering Shanghai Cooperation Organisation with Russia and China and buying S400-S500 from them and placing them at the border of US. Just like US won’t let this happen even in a millenia, Russia didn’t let the former happen either..
Thats how I see it as well. The US would have done the exact same thing as Russia. In fact we did…during the Cuban Missile crisis.
Now killing innocent European with western weapons and blaming the same on Russia is the great game of the Nazi Zelensky. His argument will be as Russia is attacking me so I have every right to attack European cities with western missiles. NATO and the MSM will support the Nazi Zelensky.
@Niltomega exactly! Was thinking of Cuban crisis as I was writing. Well said. When you know history, it is much easier to read between the lines.
Can’t see a good outcome. Russia going to cripple them 😳
Ukraine must be given the means to destroy Russian energy infrastructure.
Its not ‘pounds Ukraine’ its actually the largest missle attack Russia has done in the entire war.
pretty much done EXACTLY in the time predicted, the first freeze
Mind Begs the Question:
To Support & Aid an Apartheid State
Righteous,Evil?
Power to Russia 🇷🇺
We need to pray for the people of ukraine and that the russians leave!
The whole of Europe is in recession as well.
