Former Russian leader Dmitry Medvedev claims that any intervention by a NATO member nation on the Crimea peninsula could be interpreted as a declaration of war against Russia, potentially triggering World War III.

Timothy Williams5 said:The G7 nations are moving toward a cap on Russian gas imports—effectively setting a maximum price they're willing to pay to acquire it.

• Well done. Great job
• Very good news! BRAVO RUSSIA!
• If I were in command of the NVO, then for every single hit in any settlement in Donbass, three missiles would be sent flying toward all the major cities in Ukraine... all the tunnels and bridges, the junction stations, everything would have been wiped out ages ago. Ukraine wouldn't have received a single cubic meter of gas, not a kilowatt of electricity, not a drop of fuel... Russia is fighting too kindly with the Armed Forces of Ukraine, which is UNACCEPTABLE!!!!
• If anyone isn't happy with the fallout from these strikes, they should put the blame squarely on the Armed Forces of Ukraine: it's common knowledge they use civilian objects to shield their combat nests.
• Good. More often and more such Blows.

Pathetic.

Thomas Walker84 said:It’s just wonderful being part of this "Russian world"... you live your life never knowing when an explosion might catch you while you're out grabbing bread and milk, or when a bomb might hit your house or where your kids go to preschool. You never know when you'll be woken up by tanks rolling down the street, or by sirens, or when you'll find yourself staring at more hollowed-out buildings in the neighborhood. You're always wondering if the darkness will swallow you whole or if you'll be deported somewhere unknown in Siberia. And there are so many fresh graves everywhere—some mass graves with no names, others Vietnam-style with rows of white crosses, scattered through gardens and backyards. There's plenty of it, and I bet there are even more of these "wonderful" things we don't know about yet. Who wouldn't want this?

So, we're supposed to believe Putin always had his sights set on invading Ukraine, but for some inexplicable reason, he decided to sit on his hands back in 2014 when the Ukrainian military was disorganized and weak? Back then, the annexation of Crimea went off without a single meaningful sanction from the West, yet he waits until 2022 to pull the trigger? Why on earth would he do that? Did he just like how the numbers looked in 2022? Is this some sort of numerology thing? What's the logic here?

And just how exactly was Putin planning to attack Ukraine?

goldenowl73 said:So basically, the narrative is shifting again toward Ukrainians killing their own people?

Terry Green3 said:How are the communists viewing this situation? Are they making noise in the media or what? You probably know best through the local news...
I assume if they were actually being asked anything, mobilization would have already been declared.

Numenorean said:The situation in Ukraine is a bit different, though fundamentally the same. Back in 2013, a small segment—maybe 10%—of the anti-Russian population tried to tie Ukrainian identity directly to Banderism, which is essentially just a blatant anti-Russian sentiment. The implication was clear: if you have any connection to Russians, you aren't a "real" Ukrainian. You can't be both. It’s the kind of "get out" rhetoric that borders on the genocidal. Naturally, this sparked massive protests among the pro-Russian Ukrainian population, who realized that many Ukrainian families were deeply tied to Russia. This created those territorial lines between ethnic Russian regions and pro-Russian areas, and well, here we are. It also halted the assimilation of Russians, causing them to undergo a sort of national awakening. If the Ukrainians had been smarter and just waited another 20 or 30 years for time and biology to take their course, they could have peacefully integrated eastern Ukraine. They basically tripped over their own feet and fell.

Look, this patnik might actually have the capability to pull it off, but let's be real—New York City likely already has its nuclear arsenal aimed directly at the White House and whatever deep bunkers that patnik thinks will keep him safe.
I honestly just feel for the regular Russian folks and the opposition over there. They’re stuck sharing the same world and the same timeline with these absolute monsters.

goldenowl73 said:So, I just saw this photo from a school rally over in the suburbs of DC. They’re holding up a sign that says "One people, one nation, one leader." It’s basically a word-for-word translation of that old Nazi slogan, Ein Volk, ein Reich, ein Führer.

It’s honestly wild to think these are the same folks claiming they’re out there performing "denazification" on everyone else. https://t.co/LYOdUETlSE

Ein Volk, ein Reich, ein Führer.

That whole phrase was plastered right on the flag at a school near Moscow where those students were posing for pictures. Just your typical, peaceful citizens of Russia, right?

Anyway, let's talk about this whole "fighting Nazis in Ukraine" thing for a second.

"Ein Volk, Ein Reich, Ein Führer"
