Even if he did, who knows what the next Secretary of Defence (Offence rather) would do? But that’s not really the point. It doesn’t matter what the US plans to do, it’s what Russia thinks they will do. Forget nukes. Even long range missiles constitute a threat. And don’t for a moment think that it wouldn’t have happened if Ukraine had joined NATO. You are off in la-la land. The US has no military need to install missiles in Ukraine. Ukraine already has its own long range missiles. Prepare for your Russian friends to suffer. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To deny that makes you totally non-credible, not that it matters on an anonymous internet forum. What does that matter in this topic? Yes, we know you hate the US.

Popular Post GroveHillWanderer Posted June 20 Popular Post Share Posted June 20 On 6/17/2024 at 8:05 PM, BigBruv said: Ukraine v Romania has just kicked off at Euro 2024 Football Tournament in Munich. Tens of thousands of male Ukraine supporters there. With Ukraine at war, seems a bit odd to have so many of your fighting age males going on holiday to Germany to watch football. Does it seem odd to anyone else or am I missing something? Yes, you're missing something - evidence that any of these "male Ukraine supporters" travelled from Ukraine to attend the match. Or that they were all Ukrainian nationals anyway. In case you weren't aware of it, a lot of people have a lot of sympathy for Ukraine and that translates to them supporting their football team when they're playing. Although as a previous poster pointed out, there were around two million Ukrainians in Germany well before the Euro 2024 tournament even started. So even if they were all Ukrainian males (which is not evident) there's no reason to think they travelled from Ukraine to be there. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 'Red' members on here should not watch it, too complicated for you.....🥴 Naah another one who likes the sound of her own voice and Pax Americana. Next ! For Applebaum, the main significance of Iraq seems to be that it drew the US and Polish governments closer together. Whatever impact it had on Iraqis themselves, on traumatized veterans returning home, and on an entire generation’s willingness to trust the very Atlanticist project to which she remains committed escapes her notice. So does the propagandistic disinformation campaign that the Bush and Blair governments deployed to whip up support for the war—essentially a conspiracy theory, and one significantly advanced by Applebaum’s current social circle. Both in Twilight of Democracy and in her recent interviews and tweets, Applebaum has insisted that the authoritarian temptation exists on both the left and the right, even if right-wing authoritarianism is the more immediate threat. That’s true to an extent, and it’s understandable that someone who has studied Stalin’s reign of terror in such detail would say so. But it’s also a dodge. Today’s rising leftists in the United States and the United Kingdom, by and large, aren’t calling for a return to Stalinism but for a social democratic model that would seek to repair the enormous human damage done by decades of the untrammeled neoliberalism that Applebaum and her friends have consistently championed. https://www.thenation.com/article/politics/anne-applebaum-twilight-democracy/ Edited June 20 by beautifulthailand99 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Question is, do they have the men to operate it? Since some of you guys are so strongly devoted to Ukraine’s freedom, have you thought about volunteering your services, or maybe those of your offsprings? You know, put your money where your mouth is? As for me, I had previously mentioned that I don’t really care who wins or loses.

The pocket where the soldiers are trapped is behind Ukrainian lines. You may be referring to the David Axe's report for Forbes who is a notorious propagandist. However brave Ukrainian media is prepared to report the truth - possibly becuase they care about their people rather than spinning news for clicks. https://www.forbes.com/sites/davidaxe/2024/06/18/in-russia-vehicles-are-expensive-but-soldiers-are-cheap-and-thats-why-the-battle-for-vovchansk-is-becoming-an-infantry-massacre/ There are 3 British clowns who report nonsense as truth , David Axe, Hamish de Bretton Gordon and Colonel Richard Kemp. You can safely put them in the bin marked "Scott Ritter". Dozens of Russian troops have been cut off at a building site in the city of Vovchansk, Kharkiv Oblast, not hundreds as previously reported by Forbes, Yurii Povkh, spokesman for the Kharkiv Operational Strategic Group (OSG), has said. Source: Povkh in a comment to Ukrainska Pravda Quote: "I would like to point out that, first of all, the Russians do not operate with the numbers of personnel mentioned in this report. The figure of 400 people [reported by Forbes] is impossible to confirm because it does not exist." https://www.pravda.com.ua/eng/news/2024/06/19/7461556/ Edited June 20 by beautifulthailand99 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Bkk Brian Posted June 21 Popular Post Share Posted June 21 Welcome onboard SK! South Korea Considers Arming Ukraine in Response to North Korea-Russia Pact SEOUL — South Korea said Thursday that it would consider sending arms to Ukraine, a major policy change that was suggested after Russia and North Korea rattled the region and beyond by signing a pact to come to each other’s defense in the event of war. The comments from a senior presidential official came hours after North Korea’s state media released the details of the agreement, which observers said could mark the strongest connection between Moscow and Pyongyang since the end of the Cold War. It comes at a time when Russia faces growing isolation over the war in Ukraine and both countries face escalating standoffs with the West. https://time.com/6990464/south-korea-arms-ukraine-north-russia-pact/ 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
