Russia’s Lavrov baits NATO on ‘hybrid war’ in Ukraine: ‘They want to fight’
Fox News ^ | June 20, 2023 | Caitlin McFall

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov on Tuesday clapped back at NATO opposition to freezing the war in Ukraine and said their support for Kyiv was tantamount to their direct involvement in the war.

"If NATO, through the mouth of [Secretary General Jens] Stoltenbeg, once again declares that they are against freezing, as they say, the conflict in Ukraine, then they want to fight," he told reporters according to Russian media outlet Tass. "Well, let them fight!"

"If they declare at the same time that they are not waging a war against Russia, but in fact they are doing exactly that, recognizing that without pumping the Ukrainian regime with weapons, without providing intelligence data, satellite information, goal-setting, the Ukrainian situation… would have already ended, this is actually a recognition that they are a direct participant in the hybrid war declared against Russia, and indeed the hot war," he added.

*Russia GNP now bigger than before thanks to the sanctions causing the expansion of BRICS

*Western nations almost entirely out of arms

*Almost all women under the age of 45 have fled Ukraine and they will not come back

Good job, neocons

If NATO had a conventional war against Ruzzia, it would be over with the NATO flag flying over Moscow within a week.

The only accomplishment of Putin’s campaign against the Ukraine has been to expose how incompetent and ineffective the Russian military has become under Putin’s mismanagement.

The truth hurts... Especially if you support Putin and his insane and unattainable ambitions.

You mean the same NATO who’s equipment is being wiped out in Ukraine, the same NATO where all the soldiers are trannies who cannot decide what bathroom to use?

It took longer for the allies to take over Afghanistan than it would to take over Moscow... At least the Afghan’s knew how to fight.

Russia lost Afghanistan, they didn’t leave they were beat and left with their tail between their legs... Since then they haven’t actually fought in any wars. They’re rusty to the point of being useless. Their stalled and incompetent campaign against Ukraine has proven that in spades.

To maintain a fighting force, you need to fight.

A friend wants to know if mail order brides will be cheaper.

Lavrov is threatening and making accusations about NATO again? It must be Tuesday. Both sides that for fifteen months Russia has refused to back up any talk about NATO with action. The also know freezing the conflict means a ceasefire Russia will break as soon as it is advantageous for them.

Yeah, tell that to a shitload of Ukes. They fought and they are dead to the point Ukraine has to pause.

Unfortunately, you believe too much of what you want to believe.

Ukraine is stalled because they don’t have much left to fight with. They are getting mowed down over a few villages.

And dumbasses, bereft of historical knowledge, think it was unjustified.

And what's your estimate of American casualties to do this, assuming we could? 1,000, 10,000, 100,000?
