HEY! HEY! He might be Danish, but dude... no one wants to be associated with that piece of shit from Russia.
Haha it's not meant to be a slight against Mads at all. In fact, the man seems like he was genuinely born to play the villain in the vast majority of films that he does, and he nails it every time. He's great at being the bad guy.

Funny because about a month ago it was between Ukraine, Russia and NATO

A month ago = it’s NATOs fault for allowing any country to join them.

Today = NATO is not involved, and should not help anyone ..wink wink
Fascist trolls.
NATO, UN, EU... These organizations disguise themselves as "pro-freedom" and "pro-democracy," but they actually aren't.

Countries just need to take care of their own businesses. Period.

That'd be awesome. Shame Russia isn't playing by those rules.

The news reads: "Ukraine crisis: Russia orders troops into rebel-held regions" and that is a polite way to say that Russian troops are already inside Ukraine borders.

My guess now is that Putin will hold position for years while he starts the "Russialization" process (issuing passports, taking over radio and TV, messing with schools and all that stuff).

I don't believe in a hot conflict, as Putin already won in some way, but who knows.

you are right He already won got everything he wanted. why use force when it could get what it wanted by peaceful means? Donetsk and Luhansk had been seeking entry into the Russian Federation for years.
 
Nothing is going to happen. just the west creating a storm in a glass of water.
News are war mongering
Aged like milk.

Congrats 🎊 you have shed your fake Conservative American façade and Now a true Russian shill

Can't say if Valwinzis directly shilling for Russia or just debitating alt-right propaganda, but they are not different things, only varies the degree of involveness and sometimes (I hope so, not to lose all faith in humanity) awareness.

This book comes to discussion each time Russia does something like this: 'The Foundations of Geopolitics: The Geopolitical Future of Russia' - written in 1997, drafted by the Russian Ministry of Defence and that is used as a textbook to higher Russian officials. It sounds like crazy talk and was written by a lunatic but foreshadowed the russian influence in the years to come until now.

Quoting from the article:
  • Russia should use its special services within the borders of the United States to fuel instability and separatism, for instance, provoke "Afro-American racists". Russia should "introduce geopolitical disorder into internal American activity, encouraging all kinds of separatism and ethnic, social and racial conflicts, actively supporting all dissident movements – extremist, racist, and sectarian groups, thus destabilizing internal political processes in the U.S. It would also make sense simultaneously to support isolationist tendencies in American politics".

And it's not only the US:
Military operations play relatively little role. The textbook advocates a sophisticated program of subversion, destabilization, and disinformation spearheaded by the Russian special services.

From promoting in Europe the far right's discorse and even financing for the purpose of undermining Europe itself to going around investing in every foreign corner of the web.

You can go through the rest of the list in the article and see the progress:

Ukraine should be annexed by Russia
(in progress since 2014 with the second incursion as of now)

I don't think Putin is stupid enough to take the entire country. If he does, he'll have to deal with a huge country, filled with lots of angry people. Things don't just end when you invade and win a war. If he does, there is going to be a lot of terrorist attacks. Holding onto a country tends to be harder than actually invading a country.


Then again, I could always be wrong. lol
 
I really belived that would be solely a pressure game from Russia, and that's because of the Russian economic challenges, that are kinda big.
I didn't. He how handed the Crimea situation made it pretty obvious that he doesn't give a shit about sanctions.

He might not, but I'm wondering about his wealthy friends and supporters, upkeep of their lifestyle takes a lot of money and most of it isn't in Russia.

Sanctions are ineffective against Russian, but I thought if that of the costs of the invasion itself. There was no significant military costs on Crimea for example. Other thought of mine was the fact that Putin achieved some goals just with the threat itself.

But it is clear that imperialism knows no limits. Sad.
 
Poland's borders with Russia are about to get a lot bigger.




Politicians should know basic geography before getting into office. lol
