Russian President Vladimir Putin delivered a televised address from the Kremlin on Thursday evening, outlining Moscow’s response to recent escalations of the Ukraine conflict.
He revealed that Russia had deployed a new hypersonic missile system in a strike on Ukrainian territory, criticized the United States for escalating tensions, and reiterated Moscow’s willingness to engage in peace talks while blaming Washington for the conflict becoming global in nature.Putin reiterated that Russia remains open to talks, but warned of decisive retaliation against escalating aggression. “We have always preferred, and are still ready, to resolve all disputes through peaceful means,” the president said.
However, he cautioned Western leaders, particularly in Washington, to take Russia’s warnings seriously. “There will always be an answer,” to attacks on Russia, he concluded.
Yes.
The American defense industry and the ancillary businesses are big donors to politicians - Republicans and Democrats alike.
But America is not good at winning wars. We have lost Vietnam, Korea, Iraq, Afghanistan and we will not win against Russia. I have zero confidence in our leaders. We can say we are the best in the world all we want but we are not the best in many things... certainly not in defense or math or chess. We are the best in huge spending and boasting with a false pride.
What the U.S. can do best is maneuver alliances to boycott countries, blacklist for trade, sanction internationally etc. It can use it's strong economy and international leverage. But our leaders suck. Biden was bad and Trump will be worse.
Trump has a golden chance to keep his head steady and rule from the center by not listening to religion and extreme voices from any side. He can be a highly consequential president but no...... he falls victim to his vices each time. He will show his weaknesses and vices before January 2025 will be over
You don't give him much time, no power until Jan 20th.
Nord Stream is going to come back and bite and Sullivan, Blinken, Austin, Biden and Nuland will all be shitting bricks now........well maybe not Biden who may not even shit solids anymore.
Trump has been promised a new tower on the eastern shore of the Mediterranean. If he's promised one in Sochi, & a golf course . . .
I'm really over this Democrat BS. Spent years accusing everyone of being a bigot or worse. Tell us Biden is "sharp as a tack" and the 14th best president ever. Then the fuckheads lose an election and start WW III for spite knowing that policy is directly against what the American public just voted for then tell us how they have a peaceful transfer of power. What a bunch of absolute cunts. Biden grinning like the fuckwit as he is shaking Trump's hand whilst stabbing him in the back via fucking over world peace and by extension, the USA. That's right Democrat sycophants, Biden cares not one iota for you or your country, have you fucking worked that out yet?. All he or any Democrat cares about is maintaining power and their snout position in the trough.
You know what the Russians do when the next escalation occurs? React instantly because they have already decided and set their course in doctrine. I know this, can look it up (as can anyone) so the US State Dept sure as shit can too. And like the US and Israel, their reaction will be more powerful. The Kremlin does not bluff.
The fact is the US and UK just attacked the Russia Federation directly thus declaring war on those sovereign nations. Putin's announcement is what you call bullhorn diplomacy. He does this because the arrogant cunts in the US/ UK/ NATO refuse to talk at all to him. The supposed "adults" who took over from Trump directing all.
What will presidents Sullivan and Blinken do next? Because they are the unelected cunts directing the USA's destiny here. Harris the useless tool too gutless to invoke the 25th. Biden is brain dead.
Yet most Democrats persist with their superiority complex.
The missile was not hypersonic, and we don't much care what Putin says.
100% false. It was hypersonic but not ballistic.
You were there with your stopwatch were you?
I have no idea, Bear. Rest assured that Donald Trump will tell Putin to take Ukraine and do whatever he wants with it because America will no longer support them. We will no longer be sending them money or weapons.
People still don't get it. Russia will take Ukraine and there is nothing any can do about it. Putin understands Eastern culture so he understands saving face. He may well allow Trump to be involved so that Trump does not lose face starting a new, revolutionary presidency, but realistically he could also totally ignore the Trump admin as the US has done to Russia since 1991 basically.
NATO will never be in Ukraine. Get used to it.
The USA has lost the plot totally here. Even Zelenskyy is indicating negotiations will be soon so using these weapons to target Russia proper, targets that have no effect on the outcome in Ukraine, what the "F" are they thinking? That this will weaken Russian resolve and increase Ukranian standing in negotiations?
I don't think this escalation will soften Russian resolve. And I really hope a hypersonic is sent to a NATO base outside of Ukraine, which now is only fair as NATO directly attacked them.
