The propaganda is strong in this chat
Escalation? So you think it's totally ok for Putin to sit behind his borders and chuck missles at hospitals, schools, apartments and grocery stores…but as soon as Ukraine gives Putin the war he asked for suddenly it's a problem???
So if someone punches your face, and you punch them back is that called escalation🤨🤨🤔
Escalation? Hahahahahahahahahhaahahahah id say it already escalated.
Ukraine will pay a price for that one, and so will some others.And America can't say shit because it doesn't even have a president. No one gives a shit about what the USA has to say .
“Sparks concerns over escalations??!” What about Russia and its INVASION of Ukraine?? Now That’s escalation.
Ukraine wants more money
мармарни уйни пастки кисмига куйилади,баландга фасад килиб куй ахмок экан архитектор,одамларни бошини егани куйдирган булса керак
Everything Putin has done to Ukraine, He Acts as though Ukraine is the aggressor and has done those Horrific things to Russia..Killing Civilians, bombing Civilians, bombing their power grid..This Guy is a lunatic
😂😂😂😂 what a load of crap !
Putin is unbelievable! A psychotic ruthless utilitarian!
Go Ukraine. 🇺🇦 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦
Now they dont seems so happy with the special operation! Hipocrisy
ah escalation, we need that term to gain more views.
This is a black eye to Russia but , to be expected now and again eh. Russia meat grinder will chew on the Ukrainians in there territory and, give what they view as a proportional answer… Get REALISTIC ,Russia wont lose because, they CANT!!
Don't Forget Who Started this War – The short explanation to WHY Russia went into Ukraine: In 2009 to 2014 Obama lead the Coup overthrowing Ukraine's Government and funded Ukraine's AZOV Brigade and regular military who Raped
& Murdered 15'000+ INNOCENT Civilian Separatists in East Ukraine
The USA & NATO then installed CIA all over Ukraine.
They built dangerous Bio-labs and, for there Financial, sexual & slavery needs/desires made Ukraine a Human trafficking hub, they also used Nuclear waste for building dirty bombs .
Money laundering being at top of there list, is still today taking 80% of all "AID" received goes into the pockets of American & Euro Politicians & arms dealers invested.
NATO has been pushing too far onto Russia's front lawn far too long shall we say and, it was time to push them back.
Obama & NATO strong armed Ukraine leaders to break the Minsk Accord deal that Russia & Ukraine had followed successfully for many years. Russia is the Good Guy in This One, despite what the mass media's propaganda has the ignorant & simple minded believing.
The West needed to keep Russia as a enemy because war is the biggest money maker. Russia tried every way to join the free world and its markets but ,refused to kiss the Globalist ring.
I don't agree with Russia aligning itself with Moslem extremist country's or even China & Palestine but,,, they have no other allies to align with. If you knew anything about Russia ,Ukraine history, you'd then know it was the correct move for Russia going into Eastern Ukraine.
Zelensky is a puppet of US war mongers in DC- all need to be sent to front lines including Zelensky and biden and his entire family, and all democrats and about 90% of republicans .
these Indians are taking over DC. A Singh in the Defense Dept., a Patel in State.
Putin is complaining about Ukraine doing exactly what he did
Propaganda. Escalate?
good 👍 Russia must understand what it looks like
This headline is following the Kremlin narrative. Every attempt by Ukraine to thwart Putin's fascist imperialist and genocidal ambitions is deemed an escalation. This is low brow thinking and journalism.
RUSIAN HAVE RIGHT TO DEFEND HIS COUNTRY
The hypocrisy is the elephant in the room.
“ no you can’t do that, only me,!”
Hate this, he's got Rich with those support i ng him All EVIL 😢
We all know the coward already playing down Ukraine incursion in Russia. He called it on TV an act of terror instead of war. No he’s not going to attack a neighboring NATO country because that could be the end of Russia, the end of his regime.
Putin overplayed his cards, he had numerous chances of stopping the horrors. This time he might be too late, Ukraine's very succesfull special military operation in the Russian Kursk oblast may very well be the last nail on Putin's coffin…
L' escalade elle a commencé par l'annexion de la Crimée. Halte à l'Hypocrisie et vive l'Ukraine libre.
An escalation?🤣no shit! This escalated the day Russian soldiers crossed into Ukraine
Toddler putin now bombing his own infrastructure..
Toddler putin now bombing his own infrastructure.
Why are we not allowing Ukraine to use ATACMS.. in Russia? Are we scared of Ukraine finally winning? …
Does anyone under the age of…90? Believe a single word of this government propaganda nonsense? NATO is being systematically disarmed. All the burning Abrams and hundreds of billions of US taxpayer $$ down the toilet with no results should have probably clued you into that reality, but you don't really do reality here, do you?
Wake up.
Eye for an eye.
Putin will say that nato weapons are being used against russian soil, he may use this as an excuse to attack a bordering nato nation
Russia has been attacked civilian areas quite a bit since Putin ordered the “special operation” into Ukraine.
It’s totally absurd that anyone would take seriously any attempt to invade Russia.
Putin ought to be disappeared…sent into eternity.
Cowardly administration in the US saying this nonsense of "escalation"
Makes me Smile that Russia is getting a piece of what they Sow.
When Russia did its full-scale invasion of Ukraine, it was February & cold. Ukrainians were held up at the border because the lines were so long.
The traffic was backed up, so people had to walk for 20 miles in the cold to reach the safety of the border.
The Russians evacuating from Kursk are doing so on nice summer days. They should be grateful for how easy they have it.
You cannot make this stuff up … Ukraine escalates the war?! If Russia had not invaded Ukraine the war would not have escalated.
Democrats are worried about Ukraine attacking Russia is the same as Democrats prevented the war in Vietnam going for VC and NVA sanctuaries in Cambodia, Laos, and NVA. How did that turn out? Seems Democrats want the same solution for Ukraine.
Putin is pretty funny he doesn't like speacial operation in russia its called selfdefense
