Ukraine – Russia … not more of the last thread

[highfigh]

I guess Putsky really does want to win, but it's doubtful they'll get the money. It looks like an article from The Onion-

Russia fines Google more than the world's entire GDP

A Russian court has fined Google $20 decillion over the YouTube parent blocking Russian media outlets in the wake of Vladimir Putin's war in Ukraine.

LOL.... yeah, I didn't believe it until I read an article on Forbes. When you double the interest every month things add up pretty quickly.

NK soldiers are already being killed and they have no practical experience in battle- I wonder what they did 'against the state', to make them the first picks to be sent to their deaths.

A strange blend. Musk is a political advisor now on international affairs?

Stand by. That's just the beginning of his talents.

Good news: Biden let Ukraine use long range ATACMS missiles inside Russia. I expect UK and France will follow with their own missiles Storm Shadow and SCALP.

Reportedly France and the UK have already authorized use of Scalp and Storm Shadow missiles to hit targets in Russia.

I’ll concede it makes me uneasy.

Another Russian who criticized the war in Ukraine has died after falling from a building.

>>>Vladimir Shklyarov, a world-renowned Russian ballet star, has died after falling from the fifth floor of a building on Saturday. . . .
In the days after Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, Shklyarov was quoted as speaking out in support of peace.

“I am against the war in Ukraine! I am for the people, for a peaceful sky above our heads!” he was quoted as saying in a Facebook post by Alexei Ratmansky, a Russian-Ukrainian former ballet dancer.<<<

It could be a coincidence, of course. Or not.

Seems like a really good way for Putin to get the masses in his corner by killing someone they like......

It was a tragic accident.

I'm sure Trump looks upon this very approvingly and wish he could do the same.

Understandable for sure to be uneasy, but this entire war of aggression by Russia to grab some more land makes me uneasy. Whats next for Putin to grab by brutal violence?

And for sure: Dictators and strongmen watch how we react. China, especially, pays very close attention with their eyes on Taiwan.

It's 2024 and Russia is still a problem.......what will it take for the rest of the World to decide that he needs to go AND do something about it?

I have to think the rest of the World wants Taiwan to remain free from China taking it- it's time for XI to get the message.

It's a pretty consistent coincidence for all these people to fall from buildings who speak out or oppose Putin in any way.

My best guess is that Putin would test NATO by taking limited military action against a smaller NATO country.

Germany is still not supplying Taurus missiles to Ukraine. Scholz apparently wants to avoid war with Russia at all cost.

>>>Though there are many voices in favor of delivering the Taurus, Scholz remains categorically opposed to delivering the weapon system. He argues that Germany runs the risk of being drawn into the war between Russia and Ukraine if the Taurus cruise missiles are used. "We must not be linked in any way or at any place with the targets that this system achieves," he said.<<<

Why Germany isn't sending Taurus to Ukraine – DW – 11/18/2024

Germany will not follow the United States in delivering long-range cruise missiles to Ukraine, Chancellor Olaf Scholz says. Officials fear that they could be used against targets within Russia.
