I wouldn’t blame them if they did. What should one expect? $Billions in weapons to Ukraine and no problem with that? Who didn’t see this coming?

Yes, the gall of anyone helping Ukraine defend itself from Russian aggression. What were they thinking? Should not Russia be able to role over any country without any consequences?

Our Founding Fathers warned about foreign wars…but as a foreigner ( a Pole I suspect- maybe a Lithuanian) you have no understanding of our Founding Fathers wisdom, nor our Constitution.

That said, the EU and America is crumbling, mired in unpayable debt, overrun with illegals, morally corrupted, militarily emasculated, ruled much by woman,
…..and yet you call for for the further suicide of the collective West?

TRUTH
“Putin who decided to keep Russia in the former Soviet “cold war” state with the west, and kept abrogating arms treaty conditions he had agreed to, which was brought up in the Senate repeatedly for years.”

A few days after Putin put Belousov in Shoigu’s place, he gathered Gerasimov, Belousov and Shoigu and publicly promised that he would no longer ‘harass’ generals and put them in jail.

However, two days later he continued to do so. In particular, the president jailed General Popov, commander of the 58th Army, who had spoken out against Gerasimov. Putin was afraid that the latter would repeat the fate of Prigozhin and ‘march to Moscow’, but unlike the latter he will not stop.

Ukrainian international journalist Oleksandr Demchenko said this in an interview with Oleksiy Gomon, which can be seen on the Dmytro Gordon YouTube channel.

Putin is afraid of Russian generals, that’s why he is ‘mopping them up’. At the same time, some of the generals are even in a more combative mood than Putin himself, some are just corrupt, but for the most part they are people who can potentially resist Putin. Not the regime, but Putin, the analyst stressed.

According to Demchenko, the generals want money, and all the flows are concentrated in the hands of Putin and the Chekists. And the former ask themselves the question: why don’t we own these flows?

Russian generals are a truly dangerous force that can bring out an army against Putin, the journalist believes.
‘Putin said a key phrase during his inauguration for a reason. He said that he had given a task to the security forces to prevent turmoil, which means that he assumed at that moment that turmoil in Russia was possible. And now we can see, after the purge of generals has begun, who, in Putin’s opinion, could have organized this turmoil,’ the expert explained.

Recently, Russian military court has rejected a request to transfer Major General Ivan Popov to house arrest and ruled to keep him in pre-trial detention for two months.

Popov, whose May 17 arrest was first reported, is accused of misappropriating more than 130 million rubles or$1.5 million worth of metal purchased as “humanitarian aid” by Russian occupying authorities in southern Ukraine’s Zaporizhzhia region.

Popov previously oversaw the defense of Russian-occupied Zaporizhzhia as commander of the 58th Guards Combined Arms Army.

He was relieved from that post last summer after complaining about systemic mismanagement within the armed forces directly to the military’s top brass.”
