Russia’s most senior lawmaker on Saturday accused Washington of coordinating military operations in Ukraine, which he said amounted to direct U.S. involvement in military action against Russia.
“Washington is essentially coordinating and developing military operations, thereby directly participating in military actions against our country,” Vyacheslav Volodin wrote on his Telegram channel.
Washington and European members of the transatlantic NATO alliance have supplied Kyiv with heavy weapons to help it resist a Russian offensive that has resulted in the occupation of parts of eastern and southern Ukraine but failed to take Kyiv.
However, the United States and its NATO allies have repeatedly said they will not take part in fighting themselves, in order to avoid becoming parties to the conflict.
U.S. officials have said the United States has provided intelligence to Ukraine to help counter the Russian assault, but have denied that this intelligence includes precise targeting data.
Ukraine and the West say the fascist allegation is baseless, and that Russia has carried out an unprovoked act of aggression. The conflict has killed thousands in Ukraine, and more than five million people have fled the country.
Volodin said foreign advisers had been working in Ukraine since what he called the “coup d’etat,” in an apparent reference to President Volodymyr Zelenskiy’s democratic election in 2019.
The rhetoric comes just days ahead of what is known in Russia as “Victory Day” — the May 9 commemoration of the former Soviet efforts against the Nazis in World War Two.
There is speculation Russian President Vladimir Putin will send a warning to the West when he speaks at a parade in Moscow’s Red Square. There is also expected to be a flyover by the Il-80 “doomsday” command plane for the first time since 2010.

No need to wonder why there are no alien species out there.
We stand on the brink of biological and nuclear annihilation. Perhaps it is universal.

“George Soros Listed As 2nd Most Influential Figure In Ukraine” from December 23, 2019
“A prominent Ukrainian news organization has named George Soros, the man behind the far-left, pro-globalization Open Society Foundation, as the second-most influential figure in Ukraine, just behind the country's head of state – Volodymyr Zelensky.”
Sorry folks attacking the source of this quote in this case will not work; this was widely reported. And Soros himself bragged about his influence in Ukraine on multiple occasions. In reality Zelensky was a hand picked puppet, selected by Soros and company after the previous hand picked puppet didn't play ball as well as expected. Is it really a surprise that a phone call between President Trump and Zelenski resulted in an impeachment? It was a setup.

Russia can stop murdering innocent women and children. Go back home.
Putin attacked the Ukraine. Period.
Understood.
But patently the USA admin wants war, not peace.
Just as it does in the Mideast and Far East.
It’s a war- mongering program through and through.
Because that's the precise scenario that's happening now.
NATO has become another useless corrupt globalist organization that trying to provoke a fight with Russia to stay relevant.
Things are heating up.....
*************
Yes they are. And could suddenly boil over. There are a lot of moving parts now and all it takes is a miscalculation or ‘accident’ to provoke a sharp reaction by one of the many parties involved.
If things get much hotter our European allies may slowly distance themselves from Washington’s pressure. After all, Europe has a lot to lose by an expansion of this conflict.
This has the makings and hallmarks of a much wider war.
Ps: I’m not a pacifist. There are some legitimate fights. Defending USA. Helping genuine Allies defend themselves.
I’m fine for some fights and this is why we have our great military forces.
I’m not for USA goading or provoking other countries into wars. I’m not for arming and financing terrorist murder gangs like PLO, Hezballah, and the Afghani guerrillas or Mexican drug gangs.
We need to get some control over the traitors who drag America into such evil ventures.
A history lesson:
President Obama: “On all these issues, but particularly missile defense, this, this can be solved but it’s important for him to give me space.
President Medvedev: “Yeah, I understand. I understand your message about space. Space for you…”
President Obama: “This is my last election. After my election I have more flexibility.”
President Medvedev: “I understand. I will transmit this information to Vladimir, and I stand with you.”
Then Obama cancelled missile defense in Europe because “The 90s called and they want their foreign policy back.”
According to the the man that Medvedev stood with, Russia was not a threat where we needed to put missiles in Europe.
After Obama’s re-election, Russia went into Crimea killing many Ukrainians. Obama sent no military aid to Ukraine. It was Trump that sent the first Javelins to Ukraine.
Had Russia gone in before 2012, Obama would not have had an easy time cancelling the missile defense system in Europe and it would have made his re-election more difficult.
Only the most gullible fools believe the propaganda coming from Obama’s meat puppet.
NATO has become another useless corrupt globalist organization that trying to provoke a fight with Russia to stay relevant.

It sure appears that way. At the very least NATO members are now awash in money and military equipment being provided by the U.S.

For the most part, the former draft dodging, 70 something, now patriotic arm chair generals here have been aiding Soros and friends with their loud calls and arm waving begging for us to start WWIII to protect one of the most corrupt regimes in history. This has absolutely zero to do with the Ukrainian people who are being used as pawns in this sick game.
The US did not “force” Putin to move nearly 30% of Russia’s ground forces to the Ukrainian border in December of last year, or to cross that border in February. Ukraine was NOT a military threat to Russia. Russia had invaded by proxy in 2014.
There is no way to rationalize Putin’s invasion without directly using Putin’s own talking points. His fanboys in here always do.
NO FAIR! NO FAIR! WAAAAH! Mushroom clouds.
tick...tick...tick
We stand on the brink of biological and nuclear annihilation.

Once the nukes start flying where does it end? Seriously, once that threshold is crossed containing the fallout (pun intended) becomes unpredictably difficult.
You are being played by Obama, who gave permission for Russia to invade in 2014 and who's meat puppet gave permission for Russia to invade this year.
You are too blind to see it.
Nobody here has defended Putin or his invasion. Many are waving the red flag that this is all a fabrication for another purpose that Obama and Putin have agreed upon.
He/she posts with the intellect of an eight year old.
Good points.
As Long John Silver said in Treasure Island, "Them that die will be the lucky ones".
I keep hearing about this Snake Island. What I want to know is: are there actual snakes on Snake Island?
