RUSSIA could wipe out Ukraine's entire military in just 50 minutes, Vladimir Putin has claimed.

The threat came as the Kremlin blasted the UK for supporting Ukraine and supplying it with arms as fears of a Russian invasion mount.

Russian media reported that the country's deadly Black Sea Fleet and troops in Crimea could "neutralise the Ukrainian Armed Forces in between 50 and 600 minutes" if it felt it was about to be attacked.

Glavmedia Telegram cited a "high-ranking source" who told them "in the event of a Ukrainian attack on Crimea or other Russian territories, the Black Sea Fleet will completely neutralise all enemy warships and coastal military infrastructure."

This would include military bases, radio-electronic and air defences, artillery and airfields.

It continued: "A 'no-access bubble' has been deployed for such a task in Crimea, and all naval, air, artillery and missile and other assets - including airborne, tank, special and marines units - are available on the peninsula, and off Novorossiysk."

The chilling threat comes amid concerns over Russia's troops reportedly massing on Ukraine’s border sparking fears of all-out invasion.

The expert in the news report denied Russia would act first but would respond "reactively" to a perceived attack.

100%

The distraction will be some bastard the Reds have salted into this country through the southern border doing something.

It was just 19 on 911 that sent this country into full bore panic.

With ol Sh*tty-pants in control? We are screwed and each of us is on our own.

Like how Polish troops “attacked” that Nazi German radio station in the early morning hours of September 1st, 1939?


That’s what Putin did the first time around in Ukraine. He took the military and national insignias off his gay boy “green men” army before invading Ukraine in 2014.

The headline is a little misleading but hey it got everyone's attention.

“The expert in the news report denied Russia would act first but would respond “reactively” to a perceived attack.”

Problem with Ukraine is that half of Ukraine would rather be part of Russia than George Soros's EU.

If the Brits get into a fight, they deserve to lose badly. They would be more free under Putin.

It is dated. Look at Zelensky’s election promises in 2019. He practically ran on Yanukovich’s program and won more than 70% vote, including in Western districts, except for some particularly Nazi. Nowadays there are more pro-Russian.

What about Venezuelan Beaver Cheese?>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Unfortunately it was buried with Terry Jones, co-founder of Monty Python. Jones died last year from an unusual form of dementia.He licked the cheese too frequently it seems. I suppose it would be worth digging up after a nuclear attack on England.

Wow, I’m not ready to predict the future. I know China is going to continue to test USA resolve. Russia probably does have designs on the old east bloc. Won’t stop at Ukraine

Maybe they’d settle for Danzig and Königsberg. And perhaps Elsaß to sweeten the pot.

“Why does Russia even want/need to take over Ukraine?”

The same reasons Stalin wanted it.

"Step one would be to return the Polish territory taken by the Ukraine at the end of World War II."
Probably as soon as Poland returns the German areas that Stalin alloted to it.
"Most of the folks there are Catholic, and it would be a good fit."
ROFL. The same Greek-Catholic folks who are, then and today, some of the most outspoken Ukrainian Nationalists? They same folks who took an active part in an insurgency going against the Poles prior to WWII and during the war, massacred up to 100K Polish civilians? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Massacres_of_Poles_in_Volhynia_and_Eastern_Galicia Sure they hate the Russians (#1 enemy) now, but Poles were always #2 on that list.

The Greek-Catholics are less than 10% of the population. Throw them in with the Russians.
