28th Feb is the date to watch imo. Putin has made reference previously to Yugoslavia, and he is also calling the two areas he has interest in as independent states. The date of 28th Feb is siginificant because it is when NATO first launched into attack on Bosnian Serb planes. If I'm wrong about the date, I still get more guesses, because Biden with all his technology had more than one, and the 30th Feb looks promising for a second finger in the wind, I'm not sure what day that is though.
I've mainly blamed the Yanks for this but it's getting harder to pin the blame on them, now. I watched the full speech from Putin last night and the guy genuinely looked unhinged. Some of his ramblings were Hitler-esque, banging on about former glories, how their ancestors would view this and calling on his citizens to show patriotism. Invading the East of Ukraine is all on him. He's set this up years ago by sending his boys in there.
I think there is a reason for him appearing deranged mate. Did you not notice during the broadcast how it was changing from 'Latest' to 'Live' some would say the broadcasters merely got the banners wrong, those who like to think outside the box, could suggest, the West heavily edited it, to make him appear deranged. Just saying like...
I watched it on Russia Today, mate. That's the main news channel I've been watching throughout this so I could have more of a balanced view on what's happening. If they've edited that to try show him in a good light then they've done a **** job
According to the Guardian, which is @Archers Road favourite paper, it's a peace keeping mission - so in the age of peace keeping missions, I've updated my avatar in recognition of that, seems only fair.
We'll look after you mate, we'll let Putin know you are one of the comrades. Some are already calling today for the Ukraine to join the EU, I'll advise them to UKexit that idea.
Something ironic in an age where people can identify as being, non-binary, LBGTQ or even inanimate objects, Vlad the mad informs Ukranians that they aren't a proper nationality coz they don't even live in a proper country ...
