Yeah, but you are a Russian and you think RT is real news/informnation, but it is propaganda, that can’t speak the truth or face Putin’s beat downs and poison.

The Minsk protocols call for foreign military to leave Ukraine. Until that is accomplished, Minsk is meaningless.

2PM...moved to 1PM...back to 2PM

...they have to shoot him up with adrenalin and amphetamines, first.

His opening will be:
“Peace in our time....(as he waives paper about)...
Yes, the Donbas is Sudetenland, we have peace”

Right you are, but very few-those national socialists on the east coast, know this.

A couple months ago, the NATO navy lost contact with Russia’s new “Black Hole” sub.

If there is further escalation, it might come on the oceans-most likely the Black Sea, and a few NATO ships will disappear.

Economic sanctions will fail because Russia has just 16% of its banking relying on foreign currency. Russia supplies the western Euro nations with 50% of its oil. Red China will absorb all that oil and energy and gladly make up the shortcomings from the western nations sanctions. So, are we going to sanction Red China also? If not, then the sanctions are a failure at the very beginning.

Somebody was allowed to get hold all the cards and it aint the western nations.

And another warning of Trumps comes true.

The US navy will make quick work of the Russians. The Russians are badly out numbered and out tech’d. Crimean, Baltic, and Pacific fleets are easily reached by strategic stealth assets.

Trust me, the Ruskies want no part of the US navy.

Economic sanctions will only fail because the Appeasment Biden Admin will not fully implement the next level restrictions.

We should hack it and tell him to waive his not, ala Chamberlain acquired the enduring peace with Hitler.

What it has to do with RT? The only relatively legit source is OSCE. They don’t support your points.

You are Russian. You spew Russian propaganda, that’s your mission.

This article sums it up
:https://www.republicworld.com/world-news/russia-ukraine-crisis/russia-ukraine-crisis-osce-reports-over-1500-ceasefire-violations-in-last-24-hours-articleshow.html

“Amid escalating tensions between Russia and Ukraine, European observers reported over 1,500 ceasefire violations in eastern Ukraine in the past 24 hours, reported Times Of Israel on Saturday. According to the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE), the world’s largest security-oriented intergovernmental organization with observer status at the United Nations said that eastern Ukraine had seen the most ceasefire violations so far in a single day during the current crisis. It said the Russian military has been using artillery and mortar fire to attack the eastern Ukraine region.

You are so funny. Everything not fitting into your agenda is allegedly Russian propaganda. What of that I said is wrong?

We don’t buy/sell anything with Russia. Okay, likely do sell. We could put pressure via proxy—any country that shares commerce with Russia can no longer share commerce with the US. INCLUDING CHINA. Let China and others reign in Russia to keep us as commerce partners.

Why do we care? The two independent states that he has recognized broke off from the hyper-corrupt Ukraine state 8 years ago. They are almost all Russian speaking and Russian ethnic citizens in those new Republics.

Remember, Ukraine's corrupto-crats were bribing Joe Biden via Hunter's nonsense $1 million a year no-show job. And the first impeachment of Trump was pretty much a Ukrainian set up (that is highly connected Ukrainian Americans including the Army officer who claimed to have "overheard" Trumps call, and former ambassador to Ukraine who was a big witness in Trump's impeachment.

People in those countries are happy that their new nations have been recognized by Uncle Vlad. Why should USA side with corrupt Ukraine over Donbass independence?

At least cite the whole story, don't trim it to fit your propaganda mission.

The European observers noted that the residents living near the border areas have fled from their houses after the ceasefire (violations) from both sides increased tremendously in recent days.

Reality Check: Crimea was annexed by Russia during the Obama administration. The US Navy did NOTHING then and will certainly do NOTHING now.

PS: Russia has demonstrated hypersonic naval missiles, that's a game changer. The US Navy might play their usual role: getting one or more of their ships shot up to create a pretext to bring in more US military power and have a proper war. (See: Gulf of Tonkin, Pearl Harbor, USS Maine, etc.)
