PUTIN IS A BASTARD!

Putin killing off the next generation of Russians!

Look at these young faces. These are Russian conscripts. Putin sent them to fight against the experienced Ukrainian army.

It was Putin who guaranteed that they would not be involved in direct combat, but, as always, he deceived them.

Analysis : #Moscow Writer Says West Making #Gotland ‘Target Number One’ for Russian Missiles

"...Moscow is again presenting Western actions concerning these islands as threats to #Kaliningrad... The Kremlin is also issuing not-so-thinly-veiled warnings about possible retaliation. This change is worrisome because the shift from warnings and intimidation may reflect that at least some in Moscow...want to take offensive actions"

BREAKING NEWS 🚨

German media report that Germany is investigating possible water poisoning at two military facilities.

First, in the barracks of the German Air Force near Cologne, a hole was found in the fence, and the water supply system malfunctioned. The barracks were sealed off.

Later, a similar incident occurred at the NATO air base in Geilenkirchen. Reconnaissance aircraft, among others, are stationed there.

Russian trace?..
#AureFreePress #News #press #headline #Ukraine #Russia #NATO

Good morning to readers; #Kyiv remains in Ukrainian hands.

So does the city of #Sudzha.
Russia justifies its invasion by reclaiming “historic” territories.

But the past of Kyiv's seized areas in #Russia, like Sudzha — a former Ukrainian city — shows the absurdity of such claims.

I think anyone interested in politics should read this detailed article about #Russian election interference and support of separatists in Western countries.

The article is about #TEXIT but it illustrates very well how #Russia(n #TrollFarms) operate and the scope of their threat to democracy.

every country has grievances with other countries

none of it justifies mass murdering #ethnofascist #imperialism, which is what #russia is doing in #ukraine

anyone who doesn't understand that is a troll or devoid of simple moral reasoning skills

"but the #USA invaded Iraq"

and that was fucking stupid

if your position is "the USA did something stupid therefore we forgive Russia for doing something stupid" i don't know what to tell you, but right and wrong is obviously not your concern

"...#Putin propaganda here, and he’s been clinging to it since the beginning of the war: that he had to go into #Ukraine, #NATO is surrounding him, and that NATO support and #USA support for Ukraine just proves it’s the #West versus #Russia; it’s NATO versus Russia; it’s the US versus Russia. And it’s all a bunch of horse-hockey. There’s nothing to it. This is Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine, pure and simple..."

yup

anyone who differs is a troll or an idiot
