The action by Parliament, which called it a “partial mobilization,” takes effect Wednesday morning, will last for 30 days and represents a further escalation of tensions between Russia and Ukraine.

And on 9/10 it was World Trade Centers blown up = 0. Proof that it's always best to not take threats seriously.

Once again, you don't address my original point.

I thank you for the typical weasel words that are your clear and open admission that you cannot deny my original point;
That Ukraine has vowed to destroy the Kerch Strait bridge and/or causeway and Russia defending against that threat is normal, reasonable, and exactly what any other nation would do in the same circumstance.

How exactly is the Ukrainian junta going to destroy the Kerch bridge with a tugboat?

Russian government officalthreatening to nuke Europe = 1 or more. I don’t recall. Funny our local armchair isolationist and/or Putinists never have a problem with Putinist Russia raining rocket artillery on cities and murdering 85 kids on MH17 while threatening nuclear holocaust on the world.

Is Ukraine a country that enjoys shooting itself in the foot?


Is Russia a country that enjoys shooting Ukrainians? Apparently, yes.

Now that qualifies as proof you cannot think.

The same way Muzzies blew a Burke class destroyer in nearly in half with a small supply boat and that tug can carry a lot more weight than the little boat the Muzzies used.

As an American - absolutely nothing. I worry more about our own DOJ/CIA and people like John Brennan conducting coups and chaos right here in the USA.

Not to mention the 25 meter targets invading in plain sight on our southern border.

When is the UN and EU Armies gonna man up and ride to the sound of the guns?

Oh, yeah...they can’t. Tough shitski.
