Russia: 'we'll kill all of you' threat to UK and NATO

It works like this:

Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley told lawmakers that Kyiv could fall within 72 hours if a full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine takes place, multiple congressional sources tell Fox News.

Milley told lawmakers during closed-door briefings on Feb. 2 and 3 that a full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine could result in the fall of Kyiv within 72-hours, and could come at a cost of 15,000 Ukrainian troop deaths and 4,000 Russian troop deaths.

I don't quite follow what you're trying to say here. The name Milley immediately says this is history not news. The link is from 2022. Milley, a superb general, was the first one Trump dumped. He needs his 'Hitler generals' aka 'yes men', not professional soldiers. Keitels and not Mansteins.

Putin's plan was a tank assault from the north via Belarus, while also taking airfields close to the capital to pave the way for the onslaught and ferry in airborne troops at the same time.

The fighting for those airfields was epic. The Ukrainians prevailed with terrible losses while saving their country from the Russian tyranny. Genuine heroes. The tank columns were stopped by javelins supplied I believe by the Brits in the preceding months. A just in time supply chain so to speak.

It seems we agree (?) but you are criticizing my lack of a Putin quote? I have to say that a) I don't think it's necessary and b) I'm a bit too lazy nowadays unless it's really necessary.

On a side note I've actually managed to get through (professional as well) life without quoting the 'Fox News' entertainment channel. Its standards and performance are subterranean in my estimation, and in the estimation of many experienced professionals whom I hold in great esteem.

Russia is such an incredibly ugly and pathetic Nation at this point and it's being led by a genocidal despot who truly seems to enjoy inflicting terror. Nothing that comes out of Russia should be treated as credible on any level.

One may ask why has Putin chosen this moment to make his move on Ukraine? As many have pointed out, Russia is an objectively weak state — “Upper Volta with nuclear weapons,” as someone once quipped — with a nominal G.D.P. smaller than that of South Korea. Outside of energy, minerals and second-rate military equipment, it produces almost nothing that outsiders want: no Russian iPhone, Lexus or “Fauda.” If it were not for the minerals, oil and natural gas, I believe Russia would be a highly irrelevant state. Sure, it had alot of culture. Had. What have it's contributions been since the middle of the 20th century?

Putin’s problem with Ukraine, starting with the Maidan uprising of 2014, is that Ukrainians want nothing to do with him. He is despised. And for good reason. If he were a Disney character, he’d be Rapunzel’s mother. But, he is not a Disney character, which makes him a pathetic, aggressive, serial killing despot dictator, who appears to be targeting women and children in his latest escapade, and further walk into the world of darkness. 

What a brainless, narrow minded gibberish.

If you feel that way may I offer you a challenge? Please tell me three things that Russia has done to improve the planet since the advent of their space program. Can't? How about just two?

Putin once publicly argued with one of these "Putin supporters" and called those who advocated war with NATO "as stupid as this table."

If you dig deep, Solovyov is defending someone's interests—someone who benefits from a war between Europe and Russia and who hopes to sit it out overseas, like in World War II. Solovyov was once a poor, unknown student, but everything changed after he was raised by a very wealthy American.

A little confused. Solovyov's parents split when he was 4, and there is no evidence he was raised by a wealth American living in the Soviet Union. Possibly you are confused about his relationship with John Hathaway, who was a Property Developer in Alabama, and got him a visiting lecturer role at Alabama State in 1990. Solovyov was sacked after one semester. Hathaway was a GOP supporter, and roped in Solovyov when he was in the US, to collect signatures in support of US troops.

By 1996, Hathaway was a state senator in Maine,and ran for the US Senate. Allegations arose that in 1990, he had sex with a 12 year old in Alabama. No charges were pressed, but it ruined his campaign in the Primaries. In 2002, he thought about giving it another go, but nothing came of it. He went on to found a lobster company, it seems.

When Solovyov found himself out of work, Hathaway gave him a job running his Huntsville property company. He returned to Russia after the 1991 coup, and hooked up with an Anglo-American, Colin Hammond, to start one of Russia's first recruitment firms (and supplier of disco gear), Meteor. By 1998, Solovyov basically stole the company from Hammond, telling him "Never trust a Russian, not even me....You take whatever you can take, but you will only keep what you can defend".

Hathaway was rich, not that rich though. I think he might be the same sort of age as Solovyov. Solovyov has just been a grifter all his life.

The 3-day time frame originated with Milley report to congress, which was picked up for propaganda purposes. My use of Fox News specifically as a source was to appease MAGA sensibilities.

The claim is Putin himself said this (or like Carnak the Magnificent we can read his mind), or thought as much. If this is correct, and as you say "he made it clear from the getgo," then supporting your claim should be super easy, barely an inconvenience.

From the above I'll assume you couldn't find a quote from Putin or any Kremlin official, but you're gonna stick with the narrative because feels.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Even today he still calls it 'the special military operation'. It was his version of the Shlieffen plan, aimed here at decapitating the Ukrainian leadership and taking over the country within hours. His game plan was exactly what Milley stated.

Putin played a miserable, badly informed hand based on 19th century strategies and his own Napoleonic ego and lost miserably. It's clear what he intended and I'll stand by that until someone actually brings proof of the opposite. Something very unlikely looking at the facts of what happened.

So yes, you're right, I don't have a quote. Fair enough though I don't feel bad about that.

Whilst I wouldn't normally attack anyone, I honestly don't care about 'MAGA sensibilities'. They prefer 'alternative facts' anyway. If Fox gets something right as an exception there are certainly better produced and more respected (for good reasons) sources that I would quote. But to each their own.

how prone are average people for brainwashing and propaganda.

Personally I think MAGA, the anti vax loons, QAnon nuts and other assorted misfits and losers (like most of the current, symptomatic US 'administration') show just how easily scared and ignorant average Joes and Janes in the street can be brainwashed and manipulated.

You should also include the extreme left and blue anon in those groups.

Doubtful the poster meant the extreme left or blue anon considering they directly named other groups on the right.

But ok let's roll with that.

Like Flynn and Clarke.

Eisenhower?

A number of no value posts removed.

If you cant be bothered to say anything please dont post just a video.

If you are going to say something, make it more than "yeah yeah yeah "

It will just be deleted !

Nope, they all were out of the military before taking on political roles.

Just for the record I don't like extremists and dogmatists of any color.

But the 'Overton Window' has been skewed so far to the right that even social democratic views are howled down as communist revolutionary.

And it wasn't the 'communists' and 'socialists' who went for a 'tourist trip' around the Capitol either. Actually the 'left' strikes me as pretty quiet and ineffective especially in the US.

Oh and by the way, I've just remembered I was replying to a post which was looking down on the average Jane and Joe Doe in the street from just the type of viewpoint I was highlighting. I am aware there are a handful of nutters on the left as well. But nowhere near as numerous let alone well organized or networked into govmint.

Milley was clear in his dealings that his oath was to the Constitution and not the oaf.

That's why he was the first to be purged.

Well he was about as clear as mud about those phone calls to Chinese generals behind Trump's back?

Milley was chairman of the Joint Chiefs when Kabul fell amid death and chaos - a failure - assisted by another failure - Biden.

Not much "superb" to see here.

You are aware but neglected to say it. A handful ? Spare me.
