WW3 fears as Putin prepares to go all in on Ukraine: Russia paves the way for conscription and scrambles to annex Ukrainian territories, warning the West 'all forces' will be used to defend them
Daily Mail ^ | 9/20/2022 | Chris Pleasance

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.

Patton said “Russia” not “Soviet Union”. He was very clear.

It's not Reagan's foreign policy you're supporting. It's Barrack Obama and Joe Biden's. It's one that that unnecessarily has made Russia our enemy and pushed us closer to a hot war with Russia, nuclear war and WWIII than we were during the Cold War.

This war has absolutely NOTHING to do with our national security. It's been a war to defend 'the liberal word order" from the start, a money laundering operation in Ukraine and an attempt to destroy Russia so the same elites can raid it of its money and resources.

You're a disgrace to humanity and your support of the insane globalist policies of the Biden regime is endangering the nation and world.

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.

Germany attacked Russia in 1914, out of fear that within 5 years Russia would be too strong. So it was "now or never".

The 12-14 Billion the Democrats and Republicans are about to agree is nothing but a down payment if this keeps going.

Russia may lose this war, I doubt we see Russia admitting defeat and leaving Ukraine, they will have to be driven out and I’m not sure without US help Ukraine can do that.

So your position is that might makes right. Hitler should have been allowed to take and keep the Sudetenland, and all the other territories he invaded, simply because his army was strong and willing to commit atrocities on anyone who stood in their way? Because that is exactly the only justification putin has.

Blab all you want about neocons, soros, covid, homos, jews, flat earth and every other idiotic conspiracy theory. None of it is true and even if it was, it would still be a better world to live in than under the russian boot. Ukrainians know that, which is why they’d rather die on their feet than live on their knees.

There would be NO potential for WWIII if we had done what Trump suggested months ago and negotiated an end to the war with Ukraine giving up territory that was traditionally Russian and that has mostly ethnic Russian population.

God damn you to hell for continuing to push this war and sanction war on the nation.

Ukrainians are killing plenty of Russians while standing on their feet. The Russian army is being destroyed at a steady pace. Russia has no answer for precision NATO munitions like Javelins and HIMARS and can only threaten nuclear war in an attempt to get assistance to Ukraine cut off.

WWIII - the Democrats’ ultimate wet dream.

Just imagine, martial law with Democrats ruling over us with an iron-fist.

LOL. You just justified a nuclear attack on the US. You can’t have your salo and eat too.

Paper tiger? Lulz.

You don’t need to accept ORYX bogus numbers, Kyiv Armed Forces numbers or even believe Russian MoD numbers, etc. to see that Ukraine has lost almost all of its prewar combat vehicle and aircraft assets. Hell, Ukraine can’t even provide air cover and support for any offensive they have done of late. Destruction of their repair facilities has aggravated this shortage, as well. The evidence for the Ukrainian hardware losses is the large transfers of old Soviet gear and US gear (such as m113 armored personnel carriers, etc.) from the US-led NATO countries. After all that is destroyed, presumably, we will see an influx of U.S. Humvees and NATO tanks.

Short of nukes Russia has nothing.
————————
Putin owns the lifeline to Europe in the form of natural gas-and it is much much more serious than most people know. Natural gas is already 7 times the normal cost. Imagine filling your car with $20/gallon fuel. It literally breaks your economy nearly immediately. There is a good chance Europe wil be paralyzed this winter.

“Looks like the Neocons about to get the war they dreamed of.”

Nice try, Sparky.

This move by Putin was always in the works if Ukraine didn’t surrender and allow itself to be subjugated by Russia.

But Ukrainians know what it’s like to be under the Russian boot, and they want no part of it.

There has been bad blood between the Russians and Ukrainians for generations, more so because of the Holodomor (which, I have to assume you’ve never heard of, because on another thread you said there was no history of Russia starving Ukrainians; and don’t try to trot out the excuse that it was the Soviet Union that did that: Russia WAS the Soviet Union, because it called all the shots from Moscow).
