Vladimir Putin appeared poised to go all-in on his war in Ukraine today, sparking fears of an escalation in fighting that could drag in NATO and spark World War Three.
In a day of rapid-fire developments, Kremlin stooges in Ukraine's Luhansk, Donetsk, Zaporizhzhia and Kherson regions simultaneously announced referendums on becoming part of Russia between September 23 and 27, with the sham votes expected to easily pass.
Dmitry Medvedev, a staunch Putin ally, then vowed 'all forces of self-defence' will be used to protect what he called 'Russian territory' - teeing up a new phase in the conflict involving weapons and tactics the Kremlin has so-far held in reserve.
Underlining that point, Moscow's rubber-stamp parliament passed new laws paving the war for Putin to end his 'special military operation' and officially declare a war, allowing him to mobilise Russia's massive population into the army.
It comes after Ukraine humiliatingly routed Putin's forces to the east of Kharkiv and recaptured a swathe of territory, with the despot's allies, propagandists and political hardliners calling for an escalation amid calls for the president to resign.
Putin was said to be preparing an address to the nation tonight, Russia's national broadcaster reported, without giving any further details.

Looks like the Neocons about to get the war they dreamed of. Probably wasn’t too smart to be promising M-1 Tanks to Ukraine - red line crossed.
Tell your Putin to leave Ukraine.
“Tell your Putin to leave Ukraine.”
He’s not leaving, in case you haven’t figured it out yet.
The only question now is whether the Neocons want to start seeing their cities glassified, at least based on what I’m seeing in Russia.
Tell your Brandon/Soros to leave Ukraine.
They started it. They need a nuclear reset to cover for their crimes.
Be a shame if you died a long, slow, painful death from radiation poisoning.
Makes for more russians to kill. Forcing the population to serve in the military and put them right into a war doesn’t exactly get teh best troops.
Short of nukes Russia has nothing.
I’ll repeat: Tell your Putin to leave Ukraine.
Apparently, Putin/Russia just pissed you all off more.
You mad bro?
SMO to CTO (Counterterrorism Operation) is my guess.
But yeah, not going to be good for Ukraine......
“...sham votes...”
The Biden regime know all about sham votes and sham elections, since they are experts in shamming. /spit
“I’ll repeat: Tell Putin to leave Ukraine.”
Sorry, that horse has left the barn. If the Neocons didn’t want Russia in Ukraine, and taking pieces of Ukraine, they should have picked up the phone BEFORE Feb 24th.
Now the only question is whether they also take Odessa.
Russian elections = Democrat elections.
Patton once observed that we should fight the Russians now, while we have the army here to defeat them, or we will surely have to fight them later at greater difficulty.

So the US deserves to get nuked now by Russia?
“Patton once observed that we should fight the Russians now, while we have the army here to defeat them, or we will surely have to fight them later at greater difficulty.”
Patton was referring to the Soviet Union - wound up we never had to fight them.
As to Russia, now, same thing, we never HAD to fight them - we CHOSE to fight them.
PUTIN’S days are numbered, he’s not holding his country together. His military is a paper tiger.
Tell your Ukraine to forget about NATO membership.
Remember Cuban missile crisis.
Haliburton to make billions
“So the US deserves to get nuked now by Russia?”
The Neocons sure deserve some punishment...as to the rest of the US, no one voted for war with Russia, so NO!
