  1. How i like democratic media

    >Moscow’s support for the 2014 separatist uprising in Donbas.

    So Russian army without flag now is “separatists”?

    So Netherland court which now said that it was russian army in Donbass are liar.

  2. Appetite increases with eating. At the annual press conference, Vladimir Putin called Kazakhstan “in the full sense of the Russian-speaking country” and stressed: “You know how many people in your country speak Russian.”

  3. In 1938 there was another guy who wanted “concessions” and went on to occupy and annex other countries.

  4. why else amass so many troops around UA, of course he will invade

    the west better get its act together beforehand when it comes to sanctions

  5. Quite scary actually, makes me feel like war is somewhat unavoidable.

    Even if the international community bands together to sanction the shit out of Russia, if you make them really desperate they will justify the sanctions as aggression and see no choice but to go to war?

  6. Putler is the definition of arrogance and hypocrisy. Simultaneously threatening to destroy a country and saying he’s not the one being aggressive.

    I sincerely hope no one gives him an inch. Not only would that be a wrong thing to do but a deal with leader like him would be worthless. He’d just break the conditions of the deal and then troll the other side by telling them they are the ones breaking deals.

  7. Baltic countries were seriously lucky to have entered NATO and the EU considering they have Russian population.

  8. He’s a man that thrives in chaos, he knows that Europe is still relatively divided and has a weakening relationship with the United States.

    To counter the chaos you need some order. I’m not advocating the UK’s return, however if the European Union were to federalise sooner rather than later, switching to Nuclear power (effectively overriding Germany’s vetos/influence etc.) then there is no longer a bloc to play games with internally, not via the gas tap he has control of.

    Putin’s desire is to bring the West down to what happened to the USSR.

  9. Am I the only one who’s getting the impression that Putin is beginning to panic? He seems to have backed himself into a corner and cannot get out — he even made hints to that himself this week. All he can think of is try to increase the pressure every possible way short of starting the invasion, which so far isn’t having the effect he’s hoping for.

    Perhaps the best thing the “West” can do is continue to stall and under-react until the oligarchs tell Putin to call it quits.

  10. Russia is too poor for a war like this. Better take care of your own people inside your internationally recognized borders instead of wasting money like this

  11. This is what happens when you give dictators concessions over concessions. Head of states thought Hitler would be appeased by giving him Austria and then the Sudetenland too.

  12. So he manufactured the crisis by ferment these crazy concessions, and now that the West of course is saying no he’s going to invade because we’re unreasonable?

    Get outta here

  13. Russia: *Invades Georgia and Ukraine*

    NATO: “Alright, time for some defensive measures in the Baltics, Poland and give some money to Ukraine for defense against the aggressor – Russia.”

    Russia: “Why the fuck are you guys such Warmongering assholes!!”

  14. It’ll be interesting to see if this is all gesticulating or if he’s eager to invade. If the latter I’d guess that even making concessions today he’ll appease his lust at some point regardless.

  15. I got this everyone.

    Dear Fuckstick,

    In this season of giving, allow me to offer you the gift of sucking our collective right nuts.

    Sincerely,
    The West

  16. Kind of expected? If he rules it out, there will be no reason for “The West” to give concessions.

  17. Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania should be pressing the US for nuclear weapons sharing agreements. It’s the only thing that’ll stop the Russians.

  18. Headline:

    >Vladimir Putin Refuses to Rule Out Ukraine Invasion

    Article:

    >Putin appeared frustrated by a question from Sky News asking if he would rule out an invasion of Ukraine.

    There’s better articles with less clickbaity titles that say the same. Remember, you as the reader determine what is being written.

  19. Funny how NATO is a defensive alliance by constitution, which would never exist in the first place weren’t for Russia being a fucking aggressive cunt.

  20. Time is ticking…..keeping 100,000+ big army offensive ready group in the field costs huge money every day, and its Russian economy (that by itself is not by any means the rich with money) that is paying for that all fuzz.

    Russian government will need to do something with that, either put it to use and attack, or pull back and demobilize
