NATO fighter planes scrambled after Putin's newest drone attack risks WW3

NATO fighter planes were scrambled today amid a brutal Russian missile and military drone onslaught on civilian, energy and military sites in Ukraine.

Harrowing footage showed residents in Poltava screaming after a strike destroyed ordinary apartment blocks triggering fires amid the debris of smashed buildings. The wave of attacks by Vladimir Putin - which led to power cuts in multiple regions - came soon after Donald Trump announced in the Oval Office that his administration was actively talking to Moscow.

“We are having very serious discussions about that war, trying to get it ended,” said the US president. On whether he had spoken directly to Putin, Trump said: “I don’t want to say that.”

The massive strikes - which killed at least four and led to multiple injuries - may be a sign that Putin has no intention of ending his attempt to crush Ukraine. He used strategic nuclear-capable bomber aircraft including Tu-95s and Tu-22s in the attacks, unleashing Kh-22 missiles among others.

The scale of the blitzkrieg led NATO to scramble Polish and allied warplanes on the alliance’s eastern front. Warsaw’s operation command said: “Attention, due to the attack of the Russian Federation performing strikes on facilities located, among others, in the west of Ukraine, the operation of Polish and allied

Like their Baltic-Nazi neighbors, Poland is too scared to step onto the battlefield in Ukraine, so they shake their fist from a safe distance.

Where do you get off, maligning our staunch Polish allies?

If anyone in the current scenario should be described as a "Nazi," it's Putin.

“Funny that you’re just noticing that now.”

Wake up, hardly. I worried all through high school being drafted into the Vietnam worthless war 50 years ago. And ever since, don’t want our scum politicians dragging us into another conflict halfway across the planet.

--- "...to step onto the battlefield in Ukraine, so they shake their fist from a safe distance."

One observes, without reliance on words of rancor, that these last few years of war between non-NATO Ukraine and non-NATO Russia have involved much "safe distance" assistance and plenty of rhetoric.

What is demonstrably known is that none from the EU member-state nations have marched their uniformed troops into the ongoing land battle between the combatants. Like Macron and some UK generals, there has been talk but no "walk."

As to "Nazi" talk, historically, segments in many non-German nations participated alongside the National Socialists, including those nice Vichy in France, and many more. For this, in all those nations, there were also resistance movements which proved successful in the end. This does not mean there is not NAZI nostalgia ongoing in many nations today. The Bandera movement is a part of the historical mix, of course, but it becomes politically inconvenient to mention that these days.

If one is interested in the Baltic republics of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, a part of this very complex, messy world is documented:

Wartime collaboration in the Baltic states Wiki

Are Russia and Ukraine -- and others -- not only participants in the war, but also contributors toe the war? Indeed. A look to the actual signers of the Minsk accords shows how complex the whole is, including those Ukrainian "separatists." So, some want to "white hat, black hat" this complex mess. It's the easy way around a complex problem, and it solves nothing.

Trump has his way of negotiating and Putin has his.

47 opened his negotiations with hopeful words. Putin opened his negotiation points with cruise missiles.

Negotiations underway.

47 sends words; Putin sends missiles.

The Deep State certainly wants it. By moving NATO (Ukraine not being a member of it) east it certainly helps to bring about WWIII! Mad Vlad doesn’t want NATO in his backyard. He’s made that pretty clear and he’s also made it quite clear that he will start it if NATO gets more and more involved in the Uke/Ruskie conflict.

I thought you and your sources told us the war was a stalemate and that the Russians were losing.

Now, you're posting the truth and complaining about how mean the Russians.

You're a joke, Marcus.

[Kazan]

The reality is that Russians have been incredibly patient and compassionate because they are most certainly capable of taking the entire electric grid out and flooding Europe with refugees.

[Apparatchik]

You’re funny, Pooper.

Fact is, Putin has been trying to do just that, and if it weren’t for the Ukrainians intercepting 80-90 percent of the missiles he launches at them on a nightly basis, thanks to Western assistance, he would have succeeded. It’s now been 3 years running and at the cost of hundreds of thousands of lives and hundreds of billions in damage.

Yeah Ptuitin is a f***king saint.

[Kazan]

if it weren’t for the Ukrainians intercepting 80-90 percent of the missiles

So, they say.

The Russians, you Zeeptarded jackass, have hypersonics that there is no defense for. A few well-placed hypersonic missiles and the Ukrainian electric grid would be finished.

Ukraine in this war has targeted civilians, used them as human shields, targeted nuclear power plants and killed Russian citizens in terrorist attacks. We, under Biden, committed one of the most despicable acts of international terrorism by blowing up the Nord Stream pipelines.

And, sociopathic scum like you has no problem with any of that. So, me the bullsh$t about how eviiil Putin is.

[Apparatchik]

Wow, you really are unhinged. And deluded. And foul-mouthed. Tell your fat cow of a wife to hide the sharp implements in your house so you don’t hurt somebody or yourself.

Mad Vlad doesn’t want NATO in his backyard. He’s made that pretty clear [...]

And damned souls in Hell have likewise made it pretty clear that they want ice-water.

Vlad already had a 1,200-km-long border with NATO prior to his launching a surprise attack against a small, peaceful neighbor.

The Russian enclave of Kaliningrad was already surrounded by NATO countries. The three Baltic Republics (Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia) likewise challenged Russian hegemony in the Baltic Sea. Norway also bordered Russia's vulnerable norther boundary and kept a watchful eye on Murmansk and the Barents Sea.

Now, all in response to the brilliant military strategy of Gröfaz Putin, that border with NATO has doubled in length, the Baltic Sea is now almost entirely a NATO sea, the Skagerrak has effectively bottled it up and put a cork in it, and vulnerable supply lines between St. Petersburg and Murmansk are exposed.

Putin is winning? Gen. Robert E. Lee, post-Gettysburg, wouldn't want to trade places with him!

Translation: I can't refute a point you made so I'll resort to flaming.

Typical Zeeper.

What did you think of Trump cutting off funding to Ukraine?😀

[Apparatchik]

This is what flaming looks like:

…you Zeeptarded jackass…

And, sociopathic scum like you…

You only get back in kind what you say to me. And I was holding back - so now let’s go.

You're a fool with Russian Derangement Syndrome that is backing globalist scumbags every bit as evil as those that ran the old Soviet Union.

Viktor Orban is right when he said the EU is " bad contemporary parody" of the old Soviet Union. That is true of NATO, WEF globalists that control Western politicians and US neocons.

It's 2025, not 1985. And the struggle isn't against Russia or any other country but the globalist pigs that harmed this country and other Western nations.

[Apparatchik]

And yet Orban continues to suckle at the teat of the EU.

Yeah, he’s a real patriot. So brave and principled. 🙄

Russia hasn’t changed since 1939. The sad thing is that you know that and yet keep lying about it. You spout Kremlin talking points ad nauseum and no one is buying it.
