Re: World War 3 or just a local spat in Ukraine?

US State Department now urging US citizens to depart Belarus immediately.

This may be a reiteration of an earlier advisory but its possible there is new reasoning. Many things about the invasion`are very strange. Anything seems possible at this point. I hope this is not indication of expanding war activity though.

You implied that Magic had posted misleading information based on a headline when in fact it was correct at the time of posting.
That was what was wrong.

From Jason Hunter:

''I'm quite surprised at many a right wing UK commentator and journalist now calling Putin a "despot", "dictator", "maniac" etc.
These same people SUPPORTED Putins foreign policy funded by Russia to misinform the UK public to vote for Brexit to destabilise the EU.''

the hypocrisy of the far right is vast and beyond.
I believe it was ru behind brexit, but in this case putin f^uck himself in his foot

Could very well be the truth actually and would explain the low morale of the Russian army up to this moment. Using the protests in Moscow as an acid test it's obvious that the normal Russians do not support this lunacy. If you're a 19 year old conscript soldier and you're given the order to attack you don't really have much of a choice.

We all know how the soviet colonels were using their TTs to "boost morale" among newly recruited soldiers who had second-thoughts fighting the Germans in WWII.

btw, I also saw the video with the claim about the toys, but I personally consider it propaganda from the other side.

You know how deserters are treated in the soviet army right? I was not joking about the TTs, you can google what was the procedure.
