Russia - threadbanned users in OP

If this conflict happened at the same time Nato forces were in Afghanistan I wonder would Russia of supplied the taliban with tons of guns and ammunition etc. I know the USA were in wind down mode with pulling out of Afghanistan but I'm just curious would military planners in the USA of said to Biden there is a good possibility in the near future that Russia may invade Ukraine and it would probably be a good thing if we do not have any of our forces in Afghanistan if you were planning on leaving them there longer even if reduced forces were there, when that happens as we will end up helping Ukraine with war materials and real time data to help them and we don't want any of our forces in Afghanistan then if this does happen that Russia can through a 3rd party attack them there? Just more wondering i presume military planners would look into future conflicts and this might of been 1 they kinda might of seen happen at some point.

"Tthe possible text of Putin's speech for May 9 has leaked," Leonid Nezhlin, who was against the current Russian president, announced on Sunday morning on Twitter. The Russian businessman added to the entry a photo of two pages of the document, the content of which, in his opinion, will be read by Putin on Red Square in several hours.

During his speech, he is to emphasize that in Europe the "brown plague" is reviving and there are attempts to "rewrite history". "The West not only ignores the revival of the Nazis, which once led to the bloodiest war in history, but also supports it. Now they focused on Russophobia and neo-Nazis in the fight against us," the alleged speech reads.

Later in his speech in Moscow's Red Square, the Russian president is also to strike Ukraine directly. "The Kiev regime has been forced to create nuclear weapons, a network of biological laboratories has been created and modern weapons have been delivered," Putin said, thus duplicating Russian propaganda.

"Our people have already pronounced the historic verdict on Nazism once and we must do it again, using the strength of our weapons on the battlefield and the strength of moral righteousness. Crush the evil spirits of Nazism in the bud, defeat not only puppets but also their rulers. (...) heirs of a victorious people, and victory is in our genes. The battle for Russia continues! Our enemy will be defeated! Glory to the victorious people! " - the president of Russia is to end his speech.

He is using is as a distraction to be sure but he also has a long-held desire to be seen as "Churchillian", so its win-win from his point of view - he distracts (he hopes) from his lawbreaking and gets to do a bit of Winston cosplay as a bonus. Of course the Ukrainians must be very happy with his help, and so they should be, but this shouldn't detract from Johnson's status as possibly the worst PM in British history; an incompetent negotiator and serial liar on a personal, professional and national level. It's also worth remembering that all he's had to do here is agree to provide the stuff to Ukraine. Any British PM could have done that,

"You don't have the Russian flag yet? You can buy it in Berlin," writes ARD journalist Ina Ruck on Twitter, showing the seller's offer on the street of the German capital.

I thought "Z" symbol was forbidden in Germany?

Is he referring to the morning after a feed of bad pints?

Big day ahead. Vlad will likely want some sort of win before the parade tomorrow.

it seems sanctions started working, if the lack of products on shelves are discussed

All too often separatism is the beginning of trouble. I wonder if the separatists in Donbas are now as keen as they were last year.

Beria was a Super human level communist, like the best Communists he was born in to a very wealthy family, rose quickly in the revolution, became Cheka head of Georgia, where he became noted for his rate of killing, so impressed the Communist leadership that he was brought to Moscow. Over saw the purges, the famine in the Ukraine, the extermination of the Crimean Tatars, Katyn etc.

He also used kidnap and torture women on the streets of Moscow and had a torture chamber in his house.

This communist Demi God has a battalion named after him, that are directly under Putin.

"Crushi(ing) the evil spirits of Nazism in the bud, defeat not only puppets but also their rulers. (...) heirs of a victorious people, and victory is in our genes. The battle for Russia continues! Our enemy will be defeated!:"

These are the people who Putin thinks are his "nazi enemies" - a son who watched his father die after they were attacked whilst attempting to rescue their dogs

Every TV station and screen in Russia needs to be hacked during Putins victory parade and that video and all the others like it played, so the Russians can see who the real "nazis" are

That was back in the first few days of the invasion.
