> Vladimir Putin has also ordered US officials to leave Russia immediately... <

That should be easy to verify. And I can find no major news source reporting that. Does anyone have a link?

Exactly. Too many Freepers have been trying to excuse or deny Russia’s military buildup as propaganda and now Moscow exposes these people as the tools they are.

The Russian claim for self defense is nonsense. As if Ukraine would attack Russia. Preposterous.

Not our circus, not our monkeys.

One of my favorite Tucker Carlson recent hits came when some Republican Congressman appeared to talk about how he and colleagues had sent a letter to Biden about military assitance to Ukraine.

He clearly expected Carlson would be congratulatory about that idea, and it was hilarious to see his growing frustration when that didn't take place. He never answered the question: "Why is this in our National interests?"

That’s the same reason China will invade Taiwan before 2024


Not if millions of Chinese families have anything to say about it. Which they do. Invade anywhere = instant revolt and the end of the CCP.

For those that will yell : there is no social safety net in China ; dead sons = destitute families when their only source of income dies.

Easy call. Putin wins. With ease.

"Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said in parliament that Crimea - which Moscow seized in 2014 - was Ukrainian territory and Kiev's goal was to 'liberate' it, focusing on diplomatic solutions."

Never getting Crimea back.

But cut off their resources, sure.

Look, once again, people are missing the point -- Putin is trying to cash in on 70 years of Communists seeding Warsaw Pact states with White Russian emigres.

And yet not a single Western power has raised that point, because they are too busy purposefully. accepting. the. exact. same. illegal. immigration. for. the. exact. same. purpose.

According to this article, Russia is expelling just some U.S. embassy staff, and it’s in retaliation for an earlier expulsion of Russian staff by the U.S.

“Not if millions of Chinese families have anything to say about it.”

Well, they really don’t have much to say about it.

The CCP will not hesitate to “give them a whiff of grapeshot”.

“RUSSIA has warned war is ‘highly likely’ with Ukraine...”

So it won’t happen.

Hi everyone!

Remember when Polish troops invaded and took over a German radio station in the early morning hours of September 1st, 1939?

...as US vows to respond to invasion"

I'm just guessing but I'm betting this translates to "We will issue strong words of warning at the UN".

Russia Expels Some U.S. Diplomats in Latest Tit-for-Tat Action

Moscow indicates that the move was in retaliation for Washington’s expulsion of more than 50 Russian diplomats

By Ann M. Simmons and William Mauldin
Updated Dec. 2, 2021 8:19 am ET

Russia ordered U.S. Embassy staff who have been in Moscow for more than three years to leave the country by Jan. 31, a move that comes a day before diplomats hold talks to address the worsening relationship between the two countries.

Foreign Ministry officials on Wednesday indicated that the decision to remove the U.S. Embassy staff was in retaliation for Washington’s expulsion of more than 50 Russian diplomats by June 30, in line with previously imposed term limits.

“I would like to emphasize that the choice is not ours,” Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said Wednesday. “Our American partners have forced us to play that way. We have long and persistently tried to reason with them and still direct them to some kind of constructive solution to the issue, but they made their choice.”
