Of course Belarus is going to grant any access Putin wants. They depend almost completely on Russian trade and fuels.

Let’s see... How many Americans can soetoro murder with this device?

Anyone ever think this guy is some sort of apocalyptic jihadi?

Though I really suspect he just wants to see America destroyed...as along as his library is intact.

I detest commies as well, but no one here considers Putin a hero.

To be fair, there's only a few.

“Putin called Obama’s bluff in Syria, and saw how fast The Gay Media Messiah went running away, and how fast the US Media “forgot” that it ever happened.

Now, Obama and the NGO’s have destabilized Ukraine as well, and Putin is again going to call Obama’s bluff.”

Truer words have not been said. Now our Dear Leader is out there making a fool out of himself claiming Putin is weak.

Oh really, who has territory and advantage and who is yakking at a speech telling tall tales in Belgium to other socialist cowards while people in Ukraine have to deal with the fallout failure? But they do get MRE if they are good boys and girls.

Geesh, just pathetic.

The 2nd Guards Tamanskaya Motor Rifle Div was the primary force of the Moscow Military District following WWII positioned and equipped to forestall military mutiny attacks, which role it fulfilled twice, first during the coup attempt against Gorbachev. Yeltsin rallied and turned the Taman, second time during the Parliament occupancy attempt. Always the best equipped and maintained, they received almost all the T-90 tanks in western Russia. Served in both Chechnya wars. If they’ve been moved from the MMD it ain’t for a parade.

It will be no parade for sure. Every day passed Ukrainian army is better prepared and population is ready to take up arms against aggressors.
On the other hand, a potential bloodbath with millions of their own perished never stopped Russian orcs.

You see, this could be part of the problem having little to do with FReepers.

Wow, how can you confuse my holding Ras-Putin accountable for his violence against the Ukrainians as support?

Yes, you do. You are one of Putin’s biggest cheer leaders. Why? Are you in favor of the former 14-year KGB Colonel, or just ignorant?

I don’t think you’re paying attention. Some of these people are no different than those who cheered Ho, Casto, Saddam and others. They just claim they’re conservatives. They’re in favor of bullies, yet too oblivious to realize other pay for Putin’s crimes.

Coming from the biggest Putin suckup that’s rich. You should give it a rest. You’re the Walter Duranty of our times.

It's been "reset". Now it is neo-Czarists Russia Federation (for and by oligarch) Army. They are reusing the Red banners (with hammer & sickle) for both nostalgic and cost saving reasons.

It could be a very big deal if what you say is true. It means the Russians are “bleeding” this unit and the incursion will not be the last.

The Russians did most of the heavy-lifting taking care of the German Nazis during WWII, looks like they’ll have to do it again, except this time the West is for the Nazis.

They did most of the heavy lifting not out of choice but because they were literally fighting for their lives in a way the US was not. Germany was pushing deep into Russia and running away was not an option for the Russian people. If Hitler had conquered Russia, he would have liquidated them.

Note that Russia made WWII possible via the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact. Without a secure eastern front, would Germany have invaded the West? Ultimately, apart from Germany, the country most responsible for WWII was Russia. That they took the most casualties of the Allies wasn't just deserved - it was perhaps better than they deserved.
