Russian TV/media is telling Russian people that the poor people in the contested zone need Russia's help....this is strictly a peace keeping force. Also, Russian people should be prepared to give up their 13rd paycheck (and the government knows they would LOVE to do so) to help those people.

The rest of the world recognizing those regions would be predicated on an agreeement about Ukrain joining NATO. The logic (or lack thereof) would be to cut your losses and reinforce the rest. Russia wanted a buffer, they have their buffer in the new Republics they just recognized. Problem with buffers is once you control the buffer state you get to complain theres no longer a buffer. And the idea that Ukraine is going provoke anything from Russia is getting old. You dont have to provoke a bully to hit you, theyre gonna do it anyway.

Germany freezes Nord Stream 2 gas project as Ukraine crisis deepens
BERLIN, Feb 22 (Reuters) - Germany on Tuesday halted the Nord Stream 2 Baltic Sea gas pipeline project, designed to double the flow of Russian gas direct to Germany, after Russia formally recognised two breakaway regions in eastern Ukraine. Europe's most divisive energy project, worth $11 billion, was finished in September, but has stood idle pending certification by Germany and the European Union. The pipeline had been set to ease the pressure on European consumers facing record energy prices amid a wider post-pandemic cost of living crisis, and on governments that have already forked out billions to try to cushion the impact on consumers. But on Tuesday the European benchmark gas price, currently the Dutch March contract , was up 10% to 79.28 euros per megawatt hour (MWh) at 1416 GMT, much like the price for the fourth quarter , when Nord Stream 2 had been expected to start. Dmitry Medvedev, Russia's former president and now deputy chairman of its Security Council, tried to rub salt in that wound. "Welcome to the new world where Europeans will soon have to pay 2,000 euros per thousand cubic metres!" he tweeted - suggesting prices were set to double. President Vladimir Putin did pledge, however, that Russia would not interrupt any of its existing gas supplies. read more Germany gets half its gas from Russia and had argued that Nord Stream 2 was primarily a commercial project to diversify energy supplies for Europe. But despite the potential benefits, the pipeline had faced opposition within the European Union and from the United States on the grounds that it would increase Europe's energy dependence on Russia as well as denying transit fees to Ukraine, host to another Russian gas pipeline, and making it more vulnerable to Russian invasion. "This a huge change for German foreign policy with massive implications for energy security and Berlin's broader position towards Moscow," said Marcel Dirsus, non-resident fellow at Kiel University's Institute for Security Policy. "It suggests that Germany is actually serious about imposing tough costs on Russia." Continued |

The bigger thing I think you have to think through is whether Putin would try to call the bluff - it’s not hard to envision a speech about “the corrupt, illegitimate government in Kyiv trying to give Ukraine’s sovereignty away to western foreign powers, we must liberate our brothers.” If that happens, are we ready to go actual hot war with Russia to defend Ukraine? If we don’t he just made NATO meaningless because we proved we won’t follow through on the mutual defense obligations. |

Tucker DOES agree with Jeffrey Ehrlich on Ukraine and this issue. And Carlson has made several derogatory remarks about Ukraine including statements asking what's wrong if he [Tucker] is on Russia's side. Very psychological with Ehrich's photo header being one with Tucker on his show. Russia/Kremlin/RT News/Sputnik/Tass has been capturing the right, especially the patriotic right, for at least 15 years. Here is another photo of Ehrlich: https://i.ibb.co/YbHmZK3/20220129-113916.jpg I love the attention to detail with the hammer and sickle... https://i.ibb.co/dfvCqbf/20220129-151755.jpg Visit Ehrich's Twitter account to read the latest "news" about Russia and Ukraine here. Just start a new thread for this crap and quit spamming this one with it. Shouldn't Russian propaganda and propagandists be exposed in a conflict involving Russia? Absolutely.

It comes as a White House official declared the Russian military's movement to be an 'invasion' after Russia' strongman leader recognized the areas of Donetsk and Luhansk as independent regions -- including portions still under the Ukrainian government's control. More than 10,000 soldiers entered separatist-occupied areas overnight, a source with links to Ukrainian military intelligence told MailOnline, with 6,000 sent to Donetsk, 5,000 to Luhansk and 1,500 to the city of Horlivka. 'It is difficult to believe [Putin] could have moved that quickly - but he had a long time to prepare,' the source said. It came off the back of videos which showed a column of vehicles rolling through Donetsk in the early hours, including tanks, armored troop carriers and trucks. Insignia were not visible, but there was little doubt they were Russian forces deployed on Putin's orders. Russia officially denied sending any troops, saying a decision on deploying will be made in response to 'threats'. The Biden administration took a verbal hard line against Putin on Tuesday, with White House Principal Deputy National Security Adviser Jon Finer telling CNN in an interview: 'An invasion is an invasion and that is what is under way.' 'This is, yes, the beginning of an invasion, Russia's latest invasion into Ukraine, and you're already seeing the beginning of our response which we said will be swift and severe,' Finer said. Meanwhile Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Putin's order to recognize Donetsk and Luhansk as independent stretches to the entire provinces - not just the areas currently occupied by rebels - raising the prospect he is about to launch a land-grab and spark direct confrontation with Ukrainian troops dug into trenches there. As Russia's troops rolled in, fighting in the region escalated - with shells striking a power plant on the Ukrainian side of the line Tuesday morning after explosions killed two of Kiev's men and wounded 12 overnight. President Joe Biden ordered new sanctions after calling Putin's announcement a 'blatant violation of Russia's international commitments'. The sanctions will prohibit new investment, trade and financing in the two separatist regions of Ukraine recognized by Putin. The absence of sanctions directly on Russia or Putin was immediately met with backlash from those who said the Biden administration isn't doing enough in response to the latest Russian movements and announcements. Rep. Michael McCaul of Texas, the top Republican on the House Foreign Relations Committee, blasted Biden's sanctions as 'impotent.' https://i.dailymail.co.uk/1s/2022/02/22/14/54500199-10539225-Russian_artillery_pieces_are_pictured_in_Rostov_on_Don_on_the_Ru-a-80_1645541018561.jpg https://i.dailymail.co.uk/1s/2022/02/22/14/54500785-10539225-Russian_mobile_artillery_and_armoured_troop_carriers_are_seen_in-a-79_1645541018558.jpg https://i.dailymail.co.uk/1s/2022/02/22/14/54500207-10539225-Russian_troops_are_seen_as_armoured_vehicles_manoeuvre_in_muddy_-a-81_1645541018562.jpg https://i.dailymail.co.uk/1s/2022/02/22/14/54490421-10539225-A_tank_drives_along_a_street_after_Russian_President_Vladimir_Pu-a-83_1645541018645.jpg https://i.dailymail.co.uk/1s/2022/02/22/14/54490419-10539225-A_tank_believed_to_be_Russian_is_spotted_on_a_street_near_the_ci-a-84_1645541018647.jpg https://i.dailymail.co.uk/1s/2022/02/22/14/54490417-10539225-Military_vehicles_drive_along_a_street_after_Russian_President_V-a-85_1645541018668.jpg https://i.dailymail.co.uk/1s/2022/02/22/14/54490415-10539225-A_military_truck_drives_along_a_street_after_Russian_President_V-a-86_1645541018669.jpg https://i.dailymail.co.uk/1s/2022/02/22/14/54497621-10539225-image-a-88_1645541018739.jpg Video Video 2 Wow.

If you look at Paul Joseph Watson’s Tweets, they are comical regurgitation of Russian propaganda, and more important, he parrots those very same points that all the “Join Date, Post Count” folks that show up here seem to love. Like what? I went to his twitter feed and the first thing I noticed was the comparatively small amount of posts on Ukraine versus Canada or covid. Those seem to be more important to him. I don't disagree with that at all. What's happening in Canada has , at a minimum, as much impact as a Russian invasion of Ukraine to America, if not more. That's our back yard, and may be spilling into the US. I did see multiple posts going after the US and European admins for drumming up missed invasion times, and hypocrisy with Libya and other countries. None of that is false. You're gonna have to show me the "Russian propaganda" that he's been saying, because I'm not seeing it. Calling out our leadership for gaslighting and misdirection is not Russian propaganda. |
