Brutal if true

I don't think anyone will be fooled.

Sounds like something that the CIA would do

Why not KGB and Team Putin?

The CIA likes getting “dressed up” and pretending to be someone else

This is an example of why you NEVER get rid of nuclear weapons if you have them. Ukraine gave theirs away in 2018 in return for "protection" from the rest of Europe and the US. So much for that.

Ukraine was a nuclear power? I know of Chernobyl, but I didn't know that nuclear capacity extended to weapons.

When the Soviet Union broke up they had nukes. The second most to Russia from the old Soviet Union.

Yep, the Budapest Memorandum. Third-largest nuclear power then gave it up (edit: 1994) in return for Russia et al respecting their territorial integrity, lol.

Well they did, for at least a few years (not even 20)

According to the news I saw this morning they still had a few until 2018.

Ah, yeah they probably still had them physically in the country then. My friend is there now - originally he just moved closer to Poland but he's now having to fuck off completely.

Poland and Romania are going to get flooded with refugees today.

2018 doesn't make any sense.  They gave them up decade ago back in the 90s.  Sounds like someone trying to somehow blame Trump instead of fools like Clinton and Obama and Biden (who are all shitting their pants because Russia will have all the blackmail receipts of their crookedness in Ukraine going back decades also once they take over).

Could be. Regardless, if you are a country with nukes, never let them go. Nuclear weapons are the biggest peace keepers in existence.

LOL.

LOL.

Russias Response will be Immediate

Russias Response will be Immediate

Are we at the point yet where Deep Fakes of leaders can be made that would be believable?

I think what is happening on the ground is proof against a Deep Fake.

Clinton assured Ukraine that NATO would protect them in the future from Russia.

Russians tanks zapped. Grisly video not for young eyes.

But shows that the idea that Russian heavy metal can roll into Ukraine without trouble is a Kremlin fantasy.

Not certain where this was shot.

Terrible news. Not what the world needs. And China is dumb if they are going to back Russia on this assault.
