Coup in 2014 or no coup, none of your effing business, tovarish!
Did NATO attack Russia when:
1. Russia invaded Hungary (1956);
2. Russia invaded Czechoslovakia (1968);
3. Russia invaded Afghanistan (1979);
4. Gorbachev arrested by coup organizers;
6. Eltsin bombed Russian parliament;
7. Russia bombed the hell out of Chechnya, twice;
7. Russia invaded Georgia and annexed its territory.
So, keep your filthy hands off Ukrainian internal affairs, whatever they may be, as you guaranteed in 1991 while stealing Ukrainian nuclear weapons.

Don’t tell me they’re starting another Operation Barbarossa. The first didn’t go too well for Deutschland.

In other words, love and remain the misery your under. God will reward you in the afterlife.

Wow thats a winner! Glad our Protestant Founding Fathers had a different take on things.

The most recent poll shows 80% of Russians are orthodox

Biggest myth: Russians are religious. Only about 1% regularly attend church, vs 28% in the US.

attendance at Orthodox church services in Russia has dropped to around one percent.

Expecting Russia to be serious when they put their new MIG-35 in the air against Ukraine.

Pope told Hitler to take Russia because he wanted to get rid of Russian orthodox church? No, this isn’t the same, now they’re pushing their one world order and population reduction plan.

To even think that Putin and Russia are some ‘Christian moral authority figure’ is one of the most repulsive idiotic things I’ve ever seen. Apparently these people are posting this S@Q# on here for free, cause it sure isn’t worth anyone paying them to.

Doing it paid would be a shameful thing alone, but for free? I have more respect for child molesters.

Russia lost a lot of its gains in the fall and has been stalemated since. Compliments of the ukrainian army without heavy weapons. This should give the west more confidence in sending more and heavier weaponry since it has shown the ability and will to fight.

Why would the west aid a lost cause? It obviously isnt given the facts on the ground.

The West isn’t risking war it WANTS WAR. They are just slow walking us into it because they know the people themselves don’t want it.

“constant war-mongering”

LOL, pointing out Russian propaganda lies is not “constant war-mongering”, whiner.

You are amusing.

Most of the world will be with Russia.
Don’t believe for one second the msm lies that Russia is isolated.

The only countries with us will be the EU, UK, and Australia.

The global south detests us, China, South Africa, Pakistan, Iran, Saudi Arabia, and all of the SCO including India will be against us.
You have so much catching up to do.

Further Russia has a sub right now awaiting orders off the east coast.

....called the Belgorod, all tested and ready to go sitting off the east coast right now. 3 minutes to DC.
“armed with six ‘2м39′ Poseidon torpedoes. These are a whole new category of weapon not fielded by any another navy. They have been described as ‘Intercontinental Nuclear-Powered Nuclear-Armed Autonomous Torpedoes’. At over 20 meters (65 feet) long they are in effect they are giant underwater drones with practically unlimited range and a nuclear warhead. And their expected performance (around 70 knots and 1,000 meters depth) mean that they **** cannot be countered with existing weapons.*** “
https://www.navalnews.com/naval-news/2021/06/russias-gigantic-submarine-belgorod-sails-for-the-first-time/

Estimated time to the WH is 3 minutes.
We cannot detect this sub unless it surfaces. We cannot detect the incoming torpedoes.

And that’s just an appetizer.

Russia also has the frigate Admiral Gorshkov. Mach 9 nuclear capable hypersonic missiles.

It is really just toooo funny to think the west is so proud of gathering maybe a few hundred tanks to send to Ukraine.
I am sure Russia is simply quivering in fright.
Russia, btw, has about 12000 tanks. And weapons we can only dream about...

Putin has been preparing for this war since Kosovo.
In the 90s when Russia was a third world country...I was there...they still had 99% literacy.
I met a 10 yo boy who spoke such perfect English I thought he was American. He was deciding on a 3rd language to learn.

While we have been busy becoming woke, Russia’s excellent schools have prospered, and produced great engineering.

“Russia is a dwarf, I will bring her to her knees.” Charles XII, 18th century.
Sweden lost its status as a great power forever.

“I will conquer backward Russia.” Frederick the Great, mid-18th century.
In 1759 the Russian army entered Berlin.

Russia is a colossus with feet of clay. Napoleon, 19th century.
In 1814 the Russian army took Paris.

“I will conquer the USSR by the end of the year.” Hitler, 20th century.
In 1945, he committed suicide when the Soviet army entered Berlin.

Three days to flatten Ukraine is from the US.

Putin never said that.

It was a smaller war in Donbas, still supported by the US and NATO, kicked off by a coup in 2014, where John McCain passed out cookies.

A smaller war started by Russia when it invaded under the cover of a Moscow inspired insurrection among the Russian minority.

The Orthodox church encourages home altars and is not legalistic about attendance anyway.

It’s true, you’ve never met a war you don’t like.
