They’ve really gone too far this time. From what I can gather, they'd be facing the death penalty in any US state for doing something like this.

William Anderson5 said:Why wouldn't they? International law basically doesn't mean much anymore when you're dealing with Russia...
Richard Cooper3 said:I mean, this is still nothing compared to what an actual full-scale invasion would look like. If Russia had come at them with everything they had, the casualties on both sides would be way higher. If that happened, then maybe I'd actually believe those Ukrainian reports about losing a few thousand Russians.
Russia is trying to handle this a different way too, but I guess it might already be too late for any of that. They'll probably have to hit harder if they want to wrap up this war, which, you know, has been dragging on for eight years now.

Furthermore—if Russia were to hit any city within the EU or NATO with nuclear weapons—NATO would respond 100%. It’s simple: radiation doesn't respect borders.
Sam Martinez9 said:I have to disagree. Nuclear weapons come in all different yields and ranges, and Putin would likely use the more powerful ones to target European cities far from the Russian border. I'm thinking specifically of major cities in the United Kingdom and the European Union—essentially, cities within NATO member states.
In my view, only a madman would initiate a war like the one Putin has started, and a madman will certainly resort to nuclear weapons if he feels like it. To him, individual lives aren't the priority; his objectives are.

I thank my friend Mr. President of 🇹🇷 @RTErdogan and the people of 🇹🇷 for their strong support. The Ban on The passage of 🇷 🇺 warships to The Black Sea and significant military and humanitarian support for 🇺🇦 are extremely important today. The people of 🇺🇦 will never forget that!

I personally stick to The Morning Post and The Evening Post,
while keeping an eye on German or Austrian outlets,
along with Reuters and Associated Press.
In my view, those remain the most concrete sources available.
I give CNN, Index, RT, and the like a wide berth,
as do most government agencies on either side of the aisle,
and I haven't used unverified Twitter profiles as a news source
since the Arab Spring.
The constant linking of random Twitter garbage is genuinely irritating,
especially when it turns out to be old footage from last year or just a video game.
One might naively assume that this level of technological and internet advancement
would lead to greater transparency in tracking conflicts,
but it really just adds to the confusion and information chaos.

GustiSok said:I mean, hardly anyone actually thinks Russia didn't have a tactical plan ready for this invasion, let alone that they’re running out of missiles in just a few days. But for some weird reason, people seem to think a successful military operation means zero casualties, or that high-end gear is somehow indestructible, and that wars are won overnight. I guess if you just glance at a headline saying Germany crushed Poland in 1939 but skip the part where it took them over a month to grab half the territory—and that was a much smaller country being hit from both sides—then yeah, you might think a war like this is won in a heartbeat without losses. A Tiger tank wasn't legendary because it was invincible—hundreds of them were blown up. It was good because it actually let them carry out operations and take out enemy armor. Success is about stats, not perfection. I don't think we can call this invasion a success or failure yet. One thing is pretty certain, though... Ukrainians aren't going down without a fight.

The US has nuclear weapons—maybe try educating yourself a bit.🤣
Carol Newman2 said:The proof is right there in the fact that you're dropping Telegram links.
I'm watching you. ☕
silentsurfer3 said:It’s the exact same bullshit we saw during the whole COVID era—you get a handful of trolls (probably just clones of the guys who hold partial shares) with maybe a hundred or two posts under their belt, and suddenly they think they’re some kind of geniuses.
Who actually gives a damn about Telegram? If there’s anything more unreliable than Twitter, it’s definitely Telegram. There’s zero oversight, zero rules... just total chaos.
Laura Scott7 said:Apparently, if you aren't parroting whatever Western propaganda is being fed out of the mainstream media, you're automatically labeled a troll or some paid mercenary, right? Give me a break. News is news, and anyone should have the right to report it—we aren't trying to hide things or run a censorship ring like CNN, are we?
