I'm in Russia. Putin has waged a war. I'm in contact with my friends from Kiev, Kharkiv and other cities. They are all packing. Some of them can't get out of the cities. Few lucky ones moved the hell away some days ago. People I know in Kiev are safe, but they constantly hear explosions. Putin has gone mad. It's not fake.

I am ashamed of those Russians who write here aggressive and vicious comments in support of Putin, dehumanizing everyone who does not share their wild point of view. Judging by the style (to pour shit on opponents), earlier these same trolls participated in the persecution of "anti-vaxxer". This whole story in the form of a farce is more and more reminiscent of the Anschluss of Czechoslovakia in 39, down to the smallest detail.

I wouldn't be surprised if Putin is in Chinese exile at the end of the year. According to polls a war against Ukraine would be extremely unpopular in Russia (80-90% against).

Correct, a substantial, prolongued "brother war" would be extremely unpopular. That's not going to happen. They're obviously conducting a limited "policing" operation in the breakaway donbass region in eastern Ukraine only.

Putin is one of the few sane leaders in Europe. Orban is another. You certainly sound like you should be relocated to a no-go zone in Paris.

Zelinsky made it clear with the permission of Israelistan 🇺🇲 they had no intention of following Minsk and full intention of taking the areas back via war. As my mother used to say "be careful what you wish for you may get it."

Well he's getting it now.

You do know how Mussolini ended up an it wasn't just protests

He got hung by piano wire. That's not going to happen to Putin

You need psychiatric help clearly. Strategically speaking Putin is playing 5D chess and it is obvious that within a few days Kiev and all of Ukraine will be fully demilitarized and the crony CIA backed Poroshenko/Zelenski governments, the puppet governments of the cabal will be gone. 8 years of genocide from Ukrainian forces against countless innocents and even kids in Donetsk and Lugansk was more than enough time. The west did nothing to stop Ukraine. Also Ukraine for many years knowingly broke international agreements and also has not paid their debts for oil and gas to Russia. You are ill-equipped to understand the situation clearly. Donetsk and Lugansk people fleeing to Russia ,away from Ukraine, for over a week now. Today Ukrainian forces shot at Donetsk children's hospital.

I'm an American expat in Russia, the poster earlier is correct, Putin has completely lost his mind and this war is a disgrace. You can be right wing and disavow this madness

Если ты не вкуришь, что я тут настрочил, значит не твоей корове мычать обо всей той шняге, что тут творится, смекаешь?

You are embarrassing yourself and have no clue what or why is happening.

No YOU have no idea what you are talking about. Russia already borders several NATO countries, this entire war is nonsense. The Baltic countries are all in NATO, Poland is in NATO, and yes Poland borders borders Russia. Kaliningrad. So shut the fuck up.

Poland does not border Russia, dumbass. Baltics were taken into nato in 2004 only and it was done under the radar, on the condition that baltics do not get long distance rocket installations. Do you not know anything,punk? Wipe that snot off your punk ass face qnd learn basic history and cobditions. You have no clue about genocide ukrakbe conducted on lugansk and donetsk for 8 years? Minsk agreement ring a bell? Ukraibe had not paid russia for oil for years now. You're a dumb fuck who has no clue and would get his ass wooped in any real debate. Embarrassing clown.
