The top Kremlin-installed official in the oblast, Yevgeny Balitsky, said Russia should also have its eye on the Baltic states, as well as Poland and Finland, all five of which are NATO countries...
In the interview shared by Russia watcher Julia Davis, Balitsky seemed ready to take on the alliance as he spoke of how the Russian Empire that ended with the 1917 revolution had "lost its footing" as well as "great numbers of people."
"I'm not even talking about territories. I understand that it includes Warsaw, Helsinki, also known as Helsingfors," he said...
"I don't believe in any diplomacy in this instance. Of course diplomacy always has to be present but I believe we can get it back only with the might of Russian weapons."..
But there is rhetoric from Kremlin propagandists about restoring the Russian Empire, with many Western analysts framing the war within the context of Putin's imperial ambitions.
After Russian marked the first anniversary of the so-called annexation of the four Ukrainian territories on September 30, propagandist Sergey Mardan spoke about the new holiday as marking Russia's supposed journey to restoring itself into an empire.
He said on his show Mardan Live that "the restoration of the Russian Empire" was what the celebration on September 30 "is all about."...

this is why NATO is still needed ... the malicious Eastern Menace never went away
(see tagline)
ignore the growing threats at your peril
Israel learned that lesson long ago ...
better safe than sorry
Sounds more like Putin wants to re-establish the reach of the Russian Empire as it was under Catherine the Great. Yea I guess that would be a threat to the CURRENT GloboHomo Empires of Western Europe (NATO).
You show me the headline and I will tell you if it is MSM or not. I win again
Our Deep State is a clear and present danger.
Who needs Rooskies.
What you could have noticed is just some internet bullshit.
The strongest support of Ukraine is in Eastern Europe exactly because they know what satanic bastards the Russians are.
Canadian government being idiots is just something that is common recently.
Russia can barely handle the Ukes, let alone them plus five nations with which the U.S. has an actual alliance, and this smoke-blowing Russian official knows it.
“I’ve noticed that support for Ukraine plummeted in Eastern Europe (namely Poland, Hungary, and Slovakia) after the big Nazi celebration in Canada’s parliament on 22 September. They’re still a little sore about that part of history over there.”
I think what had happened is that the Brits wanted to save the lives of the non-German Nazis who fought the Russians (regardless of whether they massacred several hundred thousand civilians along the way), and so sent them to Canada (which was pretty much part of the UK at the time). What’s upsetting is that Canada then PROTECTED these mass murderers, even when told who they were by Jewish organizations. But I guess Canadians will be Canadians.
Pop quiz hot shot.
A Polish man has a Russian and a German near him and a gun with two bullets.
Which does he shoot first?
The German. Business before pleasure!
Putin is “liberating” Ukraine to protect it from globalhomos…., NATO is unnecessary and I will throw in nazis, just to round it out.
It is amazing how the anti-Ukraine, pro-Russia crowd always discount what the Russians themselves say and do. Listen to RT or Russian politicians and they make their aims clear
Must protect Donbas by shelling it, must protect world from nazis while doing everything the nazis did. Protect Ukrainian lives by giving Russians/Putin whatever he wants…..
Truly is like a sporting match, if a ref makes a call against my team it’s bs, and if it is against the other team it is a righteous call.
If Trump was president when this happened would the same people for supporting Ukraine still be supporting it, and those against still be against?
I have no love for xiden, and 99.9% of what he has done has been destructive for our country, yet I can support him on aiding Ukraine with one caveat and that is I disagree with his implementation. We should have gone all in from the beginning not this dribs and drabs approach. Imagine cluster munitions in the first days and weeks, imagine western aircraft operating now rather than in months to come. How would the “failed” offensive be going, I imagine much differently.
The cloak of lies that Putin used to justify his invasion has fallen, as if it was ever really there( his words and writings similar to mein kampf showed his intentions), yet there are people out there, not just trolls, who still spout that bilge.
One more thing if reports that administration is planning on building southern wall to stop invasion is true, let’s see how anti wall and pro wall folks react this time
“He said on his show Mardan Live that “the restoration of the Russian Empire” was what the celebration on September 30 “is all about....”
Ahh, yes, the great “restoration of empire” canard. It’s what failing nations attempt. This is what the dissolution of the Russian Federation sounds like.
Wouldn’t be surprised if Russia was behind that whole thing, would be the ultimate trolling action. The speed with which the “mistake” was discovered was well let’s say at least curiously fast
Kind of like when an “accident” like preogsians (sp?) happens and Russian media has an immediate government response and explain action like maybe they knew it was going to happen and had prepared the response ahead of time….
“the mask has slipped again, another disturbing admission of Putin’s real warmongering intentions!
this is why NATO is still needed ... the malicious Eastern Menace never went away
(see tagline)”
Stop it. It’s probably one loudmouthed Russian blowhard had one too many drinks. Russia can’t even beat a pitiful pipsqueak like Ukraine, let alone take on NATO (the USA). Heck, they couldn’t even stop Azerbaijan from kicking Armenia’s butt.
On one hand Neocon CLOWNs tell US Russia can't move past the Dunbass and take Kiev, while on the other these same CLOWNs tell US they will be dancing in Paris and London. It's no wonder they celebrate NAZIs!
I say we adopt Israel’s policy
when an enemy is threatening to kill you, BELIEVE THEM
I have asked people repeatedly what does being a Nazi in todays world mean, do they have a nation behind them, what power do they have? Does it mean being a fascist, there are plenty of fascist nations on this earth, Russia is a prime example of one, does it mean believing In superiority of your people and nation over all others, bingo Russia fill that bill as well, does it mean expanding lebensraum for your people at the “expense” of indigenous people, again Russia Checks that box
As I said protect against “nazis” while behaving like the nazis did
