Looks like the pentagon said it, not Putin.
Let’s crush another feel-good myth like the toilet stealing…..
Fact: America is a boozier nation than Russia. Americans consume an average of 8.9 litres of alcohol per year to Russia which consumes an average of 8.1 litres per year. Most of Europe is way boozier than America as well with Germany and the Baltic Chihuahuas leading the charge to cirrhosis town.

BUT!BUT!
The German Army went anti-war years ago.
And Angela Merkel said the Russians are friends, which give us a good price on all of our energy needs!
Under the hood, the German army may be in worse shape than the Russian army, hard to say.
But the German army still uses Continental tires, so they have that!
Nice Putin Stooge anti-empire.com link.
Putin obviously went for the kill shot and missed.
Now after all the jokes from Putin Stooges about Ukraine taking Moscow, Moscow needs protecting.
Moscow has already deployed the S-500 Prometheus around Moscow since October 2021. That takes out ballistic missiles and satellites out to 600 km. (just a bit better than “long range” Patriot system good to 100-130 km.) The S400 is the next layer and it’s been deployed for years before the fake news started hyping the “panicked Putin” story this week.

Like ALL soviet / Russian junk, on paper.
The actual combat history of most Soviet / Russian systems tells a very different story than the paper specs. Every. Single. Time.
“Lethal Anti Aircraft Systems”?!
Really? As opposed to non-lethal systems?
.....”This move by Russia is a response to our escalation in sending longer range missiles”.......
Looking like Putins getting in a no turning back mode....cut off International trade with Europe as well. So looks like US/Nato is going to get their full on war with Russia.....
He may retreet for a time and appear as defeated but make no mistake he will come back full force and not alone.
Yeah, I see that on Wikipedia.
I don’t want to see a war with Russia, but it certainly seems Russia could not win a conventional war with the West. Not even close.
Nuclear war is another issue but as you go up that escalation tree Russia will no longer exist and they know it.
Junk? They’ve won a dozen wars in the last 50 years unlike the US which hasn’t won one since WW2 (unless we’re counting Grenada). Ukraine is a vat open air junkyard of superior European and American hardware. I’m only red[illing here because so many Freepers have an overweening and false sense of their military superiority. You lost against Afghani farmers. And Iraqi Shia. What hope do you have against the most powerful and advanced land army in history?
” suggesting the despot fears an attack from Ukraine”
Oh, no bias there, eh? I mean, he could have talked about Zelensky’s status as a puppet in a proxy war, or Zelensky’s mansions, or his ‘crackdown’ on churches etc. but the writer is ‘blind’ to all that.....
Did you see that Alex Baldwin was charged with involuntary homicide x2?
I thought that would be posted but I don’t see it.
The nerve of them evil RuZZians. Why don’t they get with the WEF global depopulation movement instead of trying to thwart it? Do they think they’ve done enough in Ukraine? What’s so special about Moscow?
With you. So scary, not just Freepers but leadership thinks we are going to just take on the world all at one time.
And barely lift a finger.
🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
You know nothing.
Russia has a nuclear sub out there somewhere that we cannot detect. They built it that way.
You should only see their stuff. Plenty of videos on telegram.
A number of Freepers get stuck in the past.
Putin has been out visiting missile factories that are working three shifts.
“This isn’t the old Soviet military,” former Marine and current Heritage Foundation senior research fellow Dakota Wood told Fox News.”

I want all the war hawks to get together for a first target rich environment. Let us know what you think afterward.
When Russia gets serious, this is all they need.

Although built to conduct underwater espionage, by far the most sinister mission for Belgorod is as launch vehicle for the Poseidon nuclear torpedo system. Poseidon is a very large torpedo, 65 feet long and 6.5 feet in diameter, with a range of thousands of miles and a top speed of 60 knots. Poseidon is believed to carry a 2 megaton thermonuclear warhead and is designed to go around U.S. missile defenses to strike coastal targets, including ports and cities. According to HI Sutton Belgorod will carry up to six Poseidon torpedoes.
Bye bye east coast. Six cities. 10-15 minutes to hit.
I saw extensive discussion on this last year on twitter.
And we have no idea where it is, but it is out. We are unable to detect it.
yeah I know nothing and you know that because... it makes you feel good to say it?
I don’t need telegram to tell me about Russian nuclear submarines, ICBMs, hypersonic missiles, bombers, tactical nukes, etc.
Well aware of it sonny.
