PUTIN RECOGNIZES EASTERN UKRAINE BREAKAWAY REPUBLICS, SAYS WILL USE MILITARY TO DEFEND THEM

Putin finally made his move and now we know why he was placing ground assets to the front instead of an air bombardment of Ukraine forces. He likely does not intend to “sack Kiev”, but instead “defend” the two new provinces of Eastern Ukraine, whom I am certain will soon vote to join Russia and Putin will annex them in short order.

Some headlines.

Macron is calling an emergency national security meeting, as well as the comedian in Kiev, Zelensky. Everyone is up in arms over this but has little to nothing to do about it, for the simple and succinct fact that Europe is weak and has no military to defend its interests. So now here we have Russia and their seemingly robust military imposing their will. Let’s hope it ends here. Putin has always appeared to be a rational actor and it would make no sense for him to provide NATO with reasons to re-arm Europe.

And then there’s this.

PUTIN SAYS URKAINE IS AN INTEGRAL PART OF OUR OWN HISTORY || SITUATION IN EASTERN UKRAINE IS CRITICAL AGAIN || MODERN UKRAINE WAS CREATED BY COMMUNIST RUSSIA

And this.

PUTIN CALLS EASTERN UKRAINE ANCIENT RUSSIAN LANDS

You get the gist. Russia was/is willing to die on this road because having NATO (US) denigrate their ancient lands and prohibit Russian from being spoken there is perhaps something deemed as unacceptable to Putin.

    Does this meet the definition of: “minor incursion” as was approved by Brandon on 1/20/22?

    This will not stand. The EU / US must position 1 million of our rainbow battalions to Eastern Europe immediately. They will begin the degenderfication process post haste. Putin must come to understand that his white male privilege is very harmful both to diversity & equity and also to US money laundering efforts on behalf of corrupt generals.

      This one-hour speech/address should be remembered as Putin’s Mein Kampf speech.

        It’s more of a “neoliberals dreams just went up in smoke” speech.

        The 2,500 year old civilizations of Eastern Europe do not give a shit about the pipe dreams of the 80 year old socialists who meet in Davis each year.

    Not a good day for Ukraine, Estonia, Latvia etc…or Russian Oligarchs. This isn’t about the U.S. or NATO, it’s about little man Putin trying to reconstruct the former glory of the USSR. He’s about to plunge Russia into a Soviet Viet Nam. No wonder he put Alexi Navalny in prison.

    I will admit that Russian porn actresses go above and beyond and outperform their sloppy US counterparts.

    This is the perfect opportunity for China and Russia to claim territories while the woke communities in Europe remain unarmed. The US under the hemented Biden is weak and can’t hold off the Red movement from both Russia and China.

      The Republicans who have spent the last 6 years worshiping Putin’s biggest fan really want you to know that they think Biden is weak on Russia.

        Sorry, remind me how many European countries did Putin carve under under Trump again?
