Russia Masses Military Equipment Near Ukraine Borders: A Prologue to WWIII?

[Trelane]

It's such a popular and legal operation, that Russian citizens are protesting and going to jail for it now.

"Protests in Russia Against Putin’s Mobilization Policy Continue"

"Members of the Vesna, or Spring, movement, who called for the protests on Saturday under the slogan “No Mobilization to the Grave,” had their homes searched in St. Petersburg, as did several activists and journalists working for independent news media outlets. Such protests are effectively criminalized in Russia, and video on social media networks depicted riot police beating demonstrators in Moscow, St. Petersburg and other large cities including Irkutsk, Ulan-Ude, Tomsk, Chita, Khabarovsk and Saratov."

"In the Siberian city of Novosibirsk, riot police moved in on a group of protesters who were holding hands in a circle and singing an antiwar song popularized in the 1960s called “May There Always Be Sunshine.” About 70 people there were detained. In Tomsk, a man stopped traffic as he screamed, “A peaceful life for our children” and “Don’t watch television,” a reference to the stream of propaganda on state networks. He was arrested within minutes."

"Russians are assembling to protest despite a warning from the general prosecutor’s office, issued on Wednesday, that unsanctioned protests could result in punishment of up to 15 years of prison for “spreading false information” about the military, which became a criminal offense in March."

"Despite the Kremlin’s crackdown on dissent, people flooded the streets in protest. More than 1,300 demonstrators were detained on Wednesday, according to OVD-Info, while several protests were reported on Thursday, including in Dagestan, an impoverished southern region where anti-draft protesters blocked a federal highway."

None were crossed. I thought you weren't an apologist.

The US provided the medium range weapons for the Ukrainian people to defend their land from an illegal invasion. As any responsible ally would we have provided everything but direct deployment. At this point I'm wondering if that shouldn't have been the first step. Clearly Putin is all in with this bully move and continues his saber rattling hoping someone will blink.

He contradicts himself alot.

I believe NATO have helped train Georgian forces since Russia invaded back in 2008, also think they've got NATO weapons so hopefully will be prepared.

It seems that the strategy is going to be to force Russia to mobilise for total war.

Greece is militarising the Aegan Islands and Turkey is throwing a wobbly about it. There is a potential clash there too.

Greece may be moving to push Turkey to Russia so it can take Cyprus once WW3 starts.

[ThereWeAreThen]

Honestly thought that was Lukashenko.

So, Russia is annexing 4 regions.

Hitler would be impressed. I wonder if Italy will be their ally, they just elected a far-right government.

At the very minimum they will be having Itexit.

Ye had alittle look now, shes all for sending arms to Ukraine and wants better relations with Taiwan, but she goes down a rabbit hole after that, I'm not going to bring up the stuff she believes in cause it will completly derail the thread.

Brothers of Italy (her party) is anti-immigration, so they won`t tolerate the EU refusing to reform on immigration.

Itexit will come because of it.

The Russians didn`t have drones for anti-tank weapons.

[ThereWeAreThen]

Not sure the significance of this.

[ThereWeAreThen]

I think Putler over estimated his military's capability.
