During New Year's show state TV boasts that Russia is enlarging [hilariously delusional music number]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g1xmM2bwG8k ^ | 1/2/23 | Russian Media Monitor

Article is YouTube video, but below is a brief description from the Twitter feed of Julia Davis (@JuliaDavisNews):

'During Russia's New Year special on state TV, they openly addressed the West to say, "Like it or not, Russia is enlarging!" The rest of the clip should give you a general idea as to the mood in the studio.'


Yossarian's take:

Imagine combining...
- a modern day 4K Lawrence Welk,
- "The Hunger Games",
- all the forced smiles and applause of a late-Stalin-era speech,
- sprinkle with 2 kg of cocaine,
...and you will get what just got shown on Russian TV.

Watch the hilariously forced music act here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g1xmM2bwG8k

I don’t know. These same people who mock this Russian TV performance would mock Lawrence Welk and Dean Martin and other popular programs of the non-woke American era.

“sprinkle with 2 kg of cocaine”

Hunter was there? Did he bring along Zelenski?

Russia is now planning to invade Kazakhstan because their invasion of Ukraine went so well.

“During New Year’s show state TV boasts that Russia is enlarging”

I also expect Poland, Hungary, and a few other countries to be enlarging this year.

Yeah, no. The Poles taking Lviv/Lvov is a Russian delusion. Poland is one of Ukraine’s biggest supporters. I would also remind you how much the Poles hate the Russians after repeated occupations.

A Polish soldier comes across a German and a Russian soldier, which does he shoot first? The German......Business before pleasure.

You expect Poland and Hungary, 2 NATO nations, to join Russia’s invasion of Ukraine within months?

“You expect Poland and Hungary, 2 NATO nations, to join Russia’s invasion of Ukraine within months?”

Given the options for Poland, yes. Given the trapped Hungarians under Azov rule, yes.

” I would also remind you how much the Poles hate the Russians after repeated occupations.”

The Poles aren’t too hot on the Bendara (Azov) bunch next store, considering what happened right after WW2.

How does the US/NATO handle 2 of its members joining the Russians in invading Ukraine, and how does this affect the pending almost 4 billion dollar U.S. weapon sale to Poland, mainly 116 M1A1 Abrams tanks?

It’s more like dividing up the country and getting the borders right in that area, for the first time in at least 100 years.

So the US and the rest of NATO support 2 of its members suddenly joining Russia in the invasion?

Can you respond in a way that makes some sense of what you are posting?

You can’t get any rational thoughts out of BobL. It’s an exercise in futility.

Again, it will NOT be an invasion, it will be an invitation...take it or leave it, since, sure as hell, Russia doesn’t want that part of Ukraine.
