Vladimir Putin appeared poised to go all-in on his war in Ukraine today, sparking fears of an escalation in fighting that could drag in NATO and spark World War Three.
In a day of rapid-fire developments, Kremlin stooges in Ukraine's Luhansk, Donetsk, Zaporizhzhia and Kherson regions simultaneously announced referendums on becoming part of Russia between September 23 and 27, with the sham votes expected to easily pass.
Dmitry Medvedev, a staunch Putin ally, then vowed 'all forces of self-defence' will be used to protect what he called 'Russian territory' - teeing up a new phase in the conflict involving weapons and tactics the Kremlin has so-far held in reserve.
Underlining that point, Moscow's rubber-stamp parliament passed new laws paving the war for Putin to end his 'special military operation' and officially declare a war, allowing him to mobilise Russia's massive population into the army.
It comes after Ukraine humiliatingly routed Putin's forces to the east of Kharkiv and recaptured a swathe of territory, with the despot's allies, propagandists and political hardliners calling for an escalation amid calls for the president to resign.
Putin was said to be preparing an address to the nation tonight, Russia's national broadcaster reported, without giving any further details.

Speaking of perverted fantasies, looks like you are going to get the nuclear war you want so badly.
When it happens, just remember you did everything you possibly could to make it happen and you deserve everything that is in store for you.
Who are you saying is going to use nuclear weapons?
Who do you think, Einstein?
Or are you going to play more weaselly games?
I think no one.
You are the one who said it.
Who are you claiming will use a nuclear weapon?
Putin/Russia?
I don’t want/desire to back either side of this European conflict.... where does that put me?
I was thinking the same thing
I don’t either, but any side that has Soros on it are the baddest guys.
That’s not the only things that take smokes
Modern Russia just wants to be left alone, Ukraine is a proxy war to poke them with plausible deniability on the West’s part.
i agree with Bill O’Reilly. They killed Patton to keep him off the post WWII political scene. He was only 60 when he died. So he might have run againt Dewey in 1948 for the GOP Nomination, ag would have propably gotten the GOP nomination. Te deep state was around then and probably found a way to do him in.
More of an opportunist than a real Communist. He does what is best for Putin. Not Russia. Regular Russian folk are nothing more than cannon fodder
Putin is historically neutral between the Czarist era and the Soviet era. It’s all part of their history and he doesn’t try to wipe parts of their history out, like we are so anxious to do here in the West.
“i agree with Bill O’Reilly”
“We believe he was poisoned in the hospital” by the Russian secret service, O’Reilly says. Why?
Patton was vocally anti-Soviet at a time when the U.S. was an ally.”
My wife is Russian. She is worried about her cousins still in Moscow. She has no siblings.
I wish he’d just fire off all the nukes and get this party started. I hate everything and want it all to smolder.
Nuclear War 2022 - Let’s Just Get It All Over With
Lots of folks were scared of Patton. Doesnt matter who did the final blow. It was done. Even if paralyzed, he would still have been a voice
The scene in Patton I always remember is when that smug reporter asked Patton “Will you be slapping anymore soldiers there, sir?”
I wish Patton would have taken out his pistol and shot the son of a bitch.
Our Press never changes.
Patton was very neat. Probably the reporter avoided a frontier piercing because Patton was concerned about the mess that would be made by a reporter bleeding out
