Ukraine (Mod Note & Threadbanned Users in OP)

So Ukraine doesn't manage it's borders and some trucks go across, and THIS is evidence that Russians have invaded?

You do understand that many, many people in Ukraine (particularly the east) have families and extended families across jurisdictions and some of them, joined militias against Ukraine and sought to bring arms, goods and contraband entirely without the government of Ukraine or Russia's knowledge. How is that surprising to you?

And a sewn arm patch of the Russian Federation that can be purchased anywhere.

Oh and militiamen claiming to be "Russian army"? That's highly dubious and likely said to intimidate prisoners.

One small problem with your claim though, is the org is not claiming that the Russian army were in Donbas!

Was the American Constitution an international treaty? No.

Is it still used to justify school shootings today as it is the founding document of the state? Yes.

The only reason Ukraine exists as a separate country is because it guaranteed to be neutral to reflect its special geographical, historical and diverse population. It also meant it could not join a Russian centered military bloc. For years this functioned perfectly and neutrality was supported by the vast majority of the population until the Americans started interfering and poking the bear with coups and biological laboratories funded by the pentagon.

Don't stop believin'. Hold on to that feelin'.

Nope. Your post left the realm of reality the moment you compared the BBC with Russian state propaganda.

You have no conception of what you are criticising, if you compare the BBC to the lapdogs of Russian state TV.

Remind us again, what happened to the Russian journalists who criticised Russia's illegal war with Ukraine?

This is the post we can expect from someone who does not understand the concepts of freedom of the press \ had not experienced it.

A Russian journalist has been fined and released after she protested against the war in Ukraine on a live TV news programme and made an anti-war video.

That is not a free press. That is a fascist dictatorship silencing its critics.

Just so everyone is clear: Marina Ovsyannikova is a Russian agent: she held up a sign written in English (with small writing in Russian) on a delayed transmission channel which went ahead with the transmission, was given a $200 fine (where random people were given 10 years & torture for putting up signs in supermarkets) and immediately left the country to travel to "on the fence" Italy & Germany telling TV audiences that they should drop sanctions and be nicer to Russia - and also getting a job at die Welt to continue telling Germans to be nicer to Russia and not give weapons to Ukraine

15 year jail terms and immediate arrest for holding up a blank sheet of paper.

"Biden: Zelensky 'didn't want to hear' invasion warnings"

Interesting.I am surprised that Zelensky gave that impression to Biden.Surprised that he would be "caught with his pants down" as it were by the Russian manoeuvering.

Maybe he saw an advantage in not letting Biden know that he was expecting an invasion .

To be fair it seemed like madness to most people at the time and we still haven't been told how US intelligence could predict Putina's actual intentions.

And again ,after Trump it must have been counter intuitive for Ukraine to take too much from the US at face value.

The shitetalk from you would outshine a Kremlin backed tv show.

I recommend Canadian Ukrainian Volunteer on twitter. He has a lot of updates and is fighting in Kherson region. It looks like Ukraine is making some progress in Kherson region. Success there could be crucial in drawing away pressure on the Donbass. The region has a dam with a bridge over it in the town of Nova Kakhkova. Its important to Russia in particular because of the North Crimean Canal, which is why its doubtful if the Russians would blow it up to stop the Ukrainian's crossing but not impossible. Early on in March, the Russians blow up another dam that controlled the water supply from the Dniepr to Crimea. The water issue has been a bone of contention since the Russian annexation of Crimea.

Talk? Maybe you should have a listen to Russian television and the oceans of bulls1t talk about all the things they're going to do: re-establish the Russian empire, swamp Britain with a nuclear-generated tidal wave, hang Ukrainian politicians and journalists, take back Lithuania, punish Poland, destroy the USA with nuclear missiles, destroy and assimilate the Ukrainian nation blah, blah blah.

As much as I object to certain US foreign policy decisions in the last 30 years.....Chomsky is an armchair Socialist who never achieved anything politically and only critiques without ever suggesting an alternative solution.

In this case, he's directly supporting a hostile regime's propaganda with his "smart" comments and this is VERY unhelpful.

Edit: I've tried listening to it, he scores several own goals right at the beginning. I've turned it off when he waffled something about "diplomatic solution". He might need to talk to the Czechs, Slovaks, Poles, Estonians, Lithuanians and the Finns what they think about this idea based on historical experience. I think it's clear to anyone now that the only solution is a total defeat and collapse of Russian mafia state.

Actually most/all Osint people on Twitter believe he is fake and (given hours of activity) located in north America (so possibly Canada) - he just retweets stuff found on telegram. Has been caught out on a couple of claims.
