Drawing a link of what could happen in the West. Look at how they label J6 protestors. "Insurrectionists" is a huge term to throw around. Look at the Canadian truckers and how they've been maligned, plus Trudeau's "emergency powers." We all know that a large majority of our leaders would slobber at this level of power. I'm not in his mind, though, so I don't really know why he posted it. What I do know it that falls amazingly short of "Russian propaganda," unless it is shown to be 100% false. If it is false, then I could see the link. Is it? If not, then why would it even hit your radar or be remotely proof that he's in the tank for Russia? |

Putin gets permission from his parliament to 'use force outside Russia' - paving way for a broader attack on Ukraine after 'moving 10,000 troops into contested areas in 12 hours': International journalists take cover in trenches to avoid shelling
The White House declared the Russian military's movement to be an 'invasion' after Russia's authoritarian leader recognized the areas of Donetsk and Luhansk as independent regions -- including portions still under the Ukrainian government's control. Hours later Russia's parliament approved a request by President Vladimir Putin to use military force outside of his nation's territory, the Associated Press reported, stoking fears he could be plotting further military action after Kremlin troops already entered the Ukrainian dissident territories. Putin said during a news conference on Tuesday that the Minsk agreements, which were aimed at stopping Ukraine's conflict with Russian-back separatists in the country's east, 'no longer exist' according to Russian state media. Donetsk News Agency reported that a group of journalists was forced to take cover on Tuesday as shellfire hit the vicinity of Gorlovka, near the site of a deadly car explosion earlier in the day Smoke is seen billowing from a Ukrainian power plant close to rebel held areas in the country's east, after shelling Tuesday morning by separatist troops Russian 'terminator' tanks - armored vehicles that are designed to support infantry units fighting in urban areas - were spotted being transferred to the frontlines at the weekend Natalia, the widow of a Ukrainian soldier killed in fighting on the border with separatists, weeps during the funeral of Captain Anton Sidorov in Kiev this morning Russia is continuing to evacuate citizens from rebel held areas of Ukraine, with tens of thousands of women, children and the elderly bussed across the border Women and children are loaded on to buses in rebel-occupied Ukraine, so they can be 'evacuated' to Russia Lawmakers in the self-declared Luhansk People's Republic meet Tuesday morning to ratify Russia's acknowledgement of the territory as independent from the wider state More |

You see this all the time, and it is propaganda. The best propaganda is mostly the truth. |

*Putin ordered front line commanders to invade
*US intel notes the construction of field hospitals along the line *Russia to enforce a No fly zone over the breakaway republics. *Putin will "sack" Kyiv. *Invasion expected in 2 hours, 2 weeks or 2 months, it will be a 2 though. Greatest Kabuki theater in a generation. Pooty-Poo punked NATO ambassadorships into pulling out of Kyiv while snagging a couple of breakaway republics. As I mentioned in an earlier post, UKR forces won't be directly engaging Russian units. Just the typical shelling and tit for tat. Over time, he will get Kharkiv down to Kherson, so he can form a nice land bridge from Russia to Crimea. I called it weeks ago. All this without a Cowboy GW Bush style "shock and awe." TBH, Putin is a rotten thug, but he plays the game like a chess player, our thugs work on behalf on War Inc, as such, the war machine keeps turning. |

Originally Posted By realwar: Putin gets permission from his parliament to 'use force outside Russia' - paving way for a broader attack on Ukraine after 'moving 10,000 troops into contested areas in 12 hours': International journalists take cover in trenches to avoid shelling The White House declared the Russian military's movement to be an 'invasion' after Russia's authoritarian leader recognized the areas of Donetsk and Luhansk as independent regions -- including portions still under the Ukrainian government's control. Hours later Russia's parliament approved a request by President Vladimir Putin to use military force outside of his nation's territory, the Associated Press reported, stoking fears he could be plotting further military action after Kremlin troops already entered the Ukrainian dissident territories. Putin said during a news conference on Tuesday that the Minsk agreements, which were aimed at stopping Ukraine's conflict with Russian-back separatists in the country's east, 'no longer exist' according to Russian state media. https://i.dailymail.co.uk/1s/2022/02/22/15/54509057-10539225-image-a-99_1645544258947.jpg Donetsk News Agency reported that a group of journalists was forced to take cover on Tuesday as shellfire hit the vicinity of Gorlovka, near the site of a deadly car explosion earlier in the day https://i.dailymail.co.uk/1s/2022/02/22/15/54509059-10539225-image-a-101_1645544263288.jpg https://i.dailymail.co.uk/1s/2022/02/22/15/54501823-10539225-Smoke_is_seen_billowing_from_a_Ukrainian_power_plant_close_to_re-a-75_1645542900549.jpg Smoke is seen billowing from a Ukrainian power plant close to rebel held areas in the country's east, after shelling Tuesday morning by separatist troops https://i.dailymail.co.uk/1s/2022/02/22/15/54452651-10539225-Russian_terminator_tanks_armoured_vehicles_that_are_designed_to_-a-48_1645542900118.jpg Russian 'terminator' tanks - armored vehicles that are designed to support infantry units fighting in urban areas - were spotted being transferred to the frontlines at the weekend https://i.dailymail.co.uk/1s/2022/02/22/15/54495429-10539225-_-a-54_1645542900212.jpg Natalia, the widow of a Ukrainian soldier killed in fighting on the border with separatists, weeps during the funeral of Captain Anton Sidorov in Kiev this morning https://i.dailymail.co.uk/1s/2022/02/22/15/54495425-10539225-The_coffin_of_Ukrainian_Captain_Anton_Sidorov_is_seen_in_Kyiv_th-a-55_1645542900213.jpg https://i.dailymail.co.uk/1s/2022/02/22/15/54495431-10539225-Russia_is_continuing_to_evacuate_citizens_from_rebel_held_areas_-a-51_1645542900184.jpg Russia is continuing to evacuate citizens from rebel held areas of Ukraine, with tens of thousands of women, children and the elderly bussed across the border https://i.dailymail.co.uk/1s/2022/02/22/15/54495421-10539225-Women_and_children_are_loaded_on_to_buses_in_rebel_occupied_Ukra-a-53_1645542900204.jpg Women and children are loaded on to buses in rebel-occupied Ukraine, so they can be 'evacuated' to Russia https://i.dailymail.co.uk/1s/2022/02/22/15/54495417-10539225-Lawmakers_in_the_self_declared_Luhansk_People_s_Republic_meet_Tu-a-16_1645545331258.jpg Lawmakers in the self-declared Luhansk People's Republic meet Tuesday morning to ratify Russia's acknowledgement of the territory as independent from the wider state More View Quote The bit about Russian evacuations continuing.
