War in Ukraine

Survive politically or physically? I have a preference, but I’ll settle for either.

 

I think the two are so linked, they can't be seperated.

From CNN’s Yuki Kurihara, Emi Jozuka and Mayumi Maruyama

Tokyo has “conveyed its concerns” to Moscow over cruise missile tests conducted by Russia in the Sea of Japan, Foreign Minister Yoshimasa Hayashi said in a press conference Friday.

Moscow is urged to “refrain from any actions that could increase tensions in Northeast Asia” in light of this situation, Hayashi said, and reemphasized that Japan “strongly condemns” Russia’s aggression against Ukraine as it “shakes the foundations of the international order."

Earlier that day, Japan’s Minister of Defense Nobuo Kishi said Moscow is “aiming to show off its strength in the Far East region” and the “modernization of its naval power.""

"Russia claims advances in besieged port of Mariupol as Ukrainian units consolidate defenses

From CNN's Anna Chernova and Nathan Hodge

The Russian military claimed Friday to have made advances in the besieged port city of Mariupol, just two days after Ukrainian units blockaded in the city said they had consolidated their defenses.

"The grouping of Russian troops and units of the Donetsk people's militia have completely liberated Ilyich Steelworks from Ukrainian nationalists as a result of the offensive in Mariupol city," Russian military spokesman Maj. Gen. Igor Konashenkov said in a statement on Friday.

CNN cannot independently verify Konashenkov's claim, but the commanders of two Ukrainian units defending Mariupol issued a video statement on Wednesday saying they had been able to consolidate forces inside the city. "

 

More false flags coming?

 

Da! Remember the Moskva! A Russian warship treacherously sunk in Ukrainian waters while peacefully making war on Ukraine.

 

"...By an accidental explosion because we'd rather be seen as incompetent versus admit a small country with no Navy sunk our ship, but we must avenge our own incompetence"

 

Can WE just warn Putin then? Unlike him, we know our stuff work.

 

Russia's Black Sea flagship which sank yesterday after an explosion on board may have been carrying nuclear warheads, analysts and experts have warned today, as they called for an emergency investigation into the threat.

The Moskva, a Soviet-era guided missile cruiser, sank near the port of Sevastopol on Thursday after Ukraine said it hit the ship with two cruise missiles, causing it to roll over. Russia has admitted the vessel sank after a fire and explosion on board, but has not said what caused the blaze.

Oh huge issue because you can't just leave them there in the water. I don't know what that does for provocation since Turkey is there too but it would certainly lend credibility to the "Russians looking to use tactical nukes" argument.

 

Because it's Fake News *sarcasm*

"Russian language website of Moscow Times blocked by Russian watchdog, the outlet says

From CNN's Radina Gigova

The Russian language website of the independent Moscow Times news outlet has been blocked by the Russian state communications watchdog Roskomnadzor, the outlet said in a statement Friday.

"Russia blocked The Moscow Times' Russian language service on Friday after it published what authorities call a false report on riot police officers refusing to fight in Ukraine," the outlet said in a statement on its English website, which hasn't been affected. The Moscow Times' Russian language website remains accessible abroad via VPN, the outlet said.

"The prosecutor’s office has not yet notified The Moscow Times of its decision," The Moscow Times said.

"A tracking tool first detected access disruptions to the domain name themoscowtimes.com/ru from within Russia earlier in the day," it said."

 

They have done this before. We are dealing with the scum on the earth here.

 

Yes, they have. They kicked off the Winter War with Finland in 1939 by shelling one of their own villages.

The question is, why bother at this point? They already have their war. They know that we know their cause is BS. It clearly isn’t because they care what their people think. I am just at a loss why they don’t just do away with the pretense.
