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.

I didn’t realize that if you were not a neocon, Joe Biden loving all in for the Ukraine war you were a Putin supporter.
I’m amazed at conservatives who had the neocon/Bush faction lead them into two disastrous wars with no strategies to win whatsoever and then have war declared on them by the Democrats, the MSM and the deep state-DOD, CIA, NSA, DNI, etc... will lap up every word uttered by these lying scoundrels like it was gospel from the Lord God himself. Fool me once shame on me, fool me twice...
I loath Putin, but I’m not buying the crap coming out of the MSM, the White House and the US government about this war anymore than I buy Putin’s BS. I lived through the Cold War and hated the Soviets with a passion, communism was and is a menace to humanity. But fighting a nuclear war over this corrupt cesspool that the West and Russia have been laundering money through for 30 years is beyond insane. It has no strategic interest to the US whatsoever. This blind, not considering does this war benefit the US or not idiocy has bleed us dry since 2001 of blood and treasure.
allowing him to mobilise Russia’s massive population into the army.

Massive population?
Massed conscripts = 200s by the train load.
Are you going to tell Putin to leave and tell NATO the leave Eastern Europe?
That might solve this for good.
Works for me.
You are projecting again.
Back then “Russia” and “Soviet Union” were used interchangeably.
Not so. The Russian imposed leadership have asked to become part of Russia. What a surprise!
these referenda get delayed due to unavoidable logistical complications

and totally unexpected: officials dying, usually when they start their car. Followed by a loud noise.
You didn’t know? That is what is funny. Western media sells lies well, even here on FR.

He was right because that was the Soviet union this is a little different at least to some of us here
I thought Putin harbors dreams of an imperial Russia but I don’t see him as a Soviet even though his roots are obviously Soviet I think it was just a Main‘s for power to him he allows way too much free enterprise for a communist but then again in all honesty shows the CCP in fact their free enterprise system is more freewheeling than ours is as long as you don’t rub feathers or get political
It’s a strange world that I did not see coming I will be the first to admit and I do not think that Neil conservatives or Wolk globalist handle it very well in the interest of western civilization or American objectives traditional American objectives
Yep, his goals are no different than that of the Czars.
HAHAHAHA ... Russian hypersonic missile hahahaha - they are duds and did nothing but get used up so your Orc pals have to use S300 missiles hahahahahaHAHAHAHA
They ave asked to become part of Russia. I think you are a bit confused.
How does a city of 750,000 not even occupied by Russia “ask to be part of Russia”? I think you are a bit confused.
Russia wants the coast.
I want to date Kate Upton. That’s not happening, either.
Wonder why Ukraine wanted to kill them? Wonder why they chose to be seen as separatist republics? Wonder why millions of them emigrated to Russia?
Must be the love they had for being under Ukrainian Nazis who despised anything and everything Russian.

Kicking Russian corruption and influence out of Europe is absolutely in US interest. President Trump spoke clearly on this issue. I suggest you do some research.
...Russia’s top of the line T-90M tank captured just the other day by Ukraine... But it’s not the “real Russian army”. LMAO.

“Exposure is good, for all of us, dink.”
Ah, so you are resorting to racism (misapplied, BTW). It’s so becoming of you.
