Russia says Ukraine talks hit 'dead end', Poland warns of risk of war
Reuters ^ | January 13, 2022 | Thomas Escritt and Tom Balmforth

Poland's foreign minister said on Thursday that Europe was at risk of plunging into war as Russia said it was not yet giving up on diplomacy but that military experts were preparing options in case tensions over Ukraine could not be defused.

In Washington, the White House said the threat of a Russian invasion of Ukraine remained high with some 100,000 Russian troops deployed and the United States would make public within 24 hours intelligence suggesting Russia might seek to invent a pretext to justify one.

"The drumbeat of war is sounding loud, and the rhetoric has gotten rather shrill," Michael Carpenter, U.S. Ambassador to the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE), said after talks with Russia in Vienna.

I don’t blame Russia for not wanting NATO on their doorstep.

Why? Russkies have lied and cheated through every arms treaty they have ever signed with us, have transferred rocket and missile technology to North Korea and other countries (and is likely responsible for North Korea's new boasts of having "hypersonics"), including Iran, have transferred weapons and money to communist terrorists like FARC, with FSB controlled Russian Mobsters propping up Narco terrorists flooding our country with drugs and illegals, and Russia has made itself the top nuclear power in the world with the capability of hitting targets in the USA within a few minutes of launch.

Why on Earth would you shed a tear, for one second, with the Russkies fake-whining over joining NATO, especially when there was apparently no plan--no movement--no attempt whatsoever to even bring them into NATO when they started this fake crisis?

“Russia will move against Ukraine; China will move against Taiwan; and North Korea will move against South Korea. “

You forgot “and Iran will move against Israel. “

The axis of evil is forming.

You’re another nutty foreigner who never served in the military. Did you know flights leave daily to Kiev? All you need to do id get on the next flight, and when you get there tell them you are volunteering to help them.

Do not delay!

They are just about fighting now in the ocean.

The NATO navy is having a hell of a time tracking the Black Hole sub the Russians have out in the Med. They have lost track, found it, and now its disappeared again.

They got no idea if there are several, or just one.

I expect that there will be a few ships sunk in the Black Sea if it gets out of hand.

And yet they keep poking at the bear. It aint no business of ours..stay to hell outta there.

Idiotic that all of this is to cover up the Biden putsch’s destruction, tyranny and failures at home.

Not to mention Zelenski...whose administration has been a failure, and is currently about as popular in Ukraine as an STD.

Arresting the former President Porochenko for high treason was a desperate move, as is the new executive order to conscript women into the Army...what a clown show.

“Citizens! Current shortages are the result of our ongoing war with Eastasia. Donate to the war effort and remember, Big Brother Biden loves you!”

“You forgot “and Iran will move against Israel.“”

Not really; I said Iran may even make a move (and the likely target would be Israel; though I think Saudi Arabia could very well be the target).

Russia is just waiting for its supporters in Ukraine to act up so Russia can bring ‘peace’ to the pro-Russian areas.

I doubt if the cyber attacks were “self inflicted”. More like a pre-emtive attack by Russia.

Could be pre-emptive by Russia.

“Similar to WW1.”

WWI was the biggest manmade disaster in history.

I just bought a new .45 - wondering whether to buy more 45 or 5.56?

I don’t have a purpose other than it was so hard to get. Prices have come down a little bit.

I don’t even practice lately. Too expensive.
