... as soon as the Syrians land they bolt for the Polish border and claim to be refugees.

That might not be so good for EU Europe.

Since most of the Syrians will be Muslim, break out the bacon grease to anoint your projectiles.

Every day it’s one step closer to WW3, it’s all lining up as we speak. And we have a totally corrupted and demented clown at the helm, what could go wrong? These idiots think they can break Russia without the involvement of nukes, well I happen to think they are badly mistaken on that. They are gambling with our very lives, and unfortunately very few people are cognizant of this very real possibility of WW3 erupting from this. This is no exaggeration.

AZOV and other groups like them will have a shooting gallery - and vice versa.

Between Chechs, Azov, and now Muslims - if Iwas an American leaving now would be a good idea.

This should do wonders for unit cohesion!

Didn’t know Uke had satellites. Otherwise, how would they “know”? [before you type, yes the CIA certainly could be feeding whatever intel/counter-intel they please to Uke, as reliable as a ‘russian’ laptop]

So Uke ‘intelligence’ official gives oral statement of a ‘report’ the reporter hasn’t seen or the evidence upon which it is based, and its treated as factual. Sorry, I’m not taking anyone’s “word” on anything coming out of this war.

This is not pro/anti Putin or Uke. It is anti-lies. If you can’t or won’t recognize the propaganda, you have war fever. I prefer to make decisions [like going to war against Russia] based on actual facts.

“Shaping up to be another World War -”

Syrians fighting for Russia. What the hell? We have two sides full of bad guys, very similar to when Germany and Russia fought in World War Two.

They'll take the trains from their current residences in Western Europe.

........ The average monthly salary in Syria is around $300 a month so the $300-$600 to fight in Ukraine is pretty much the standard wage or even a bit higher in that country.
