Russia said the West was playing with fire by considering allowing Ukraine to strike deep into Russia with Western missiles and cautioned the United States on Tuesday that World War Three would not be confined to Europe.

    As someone who is very concerned about the escalation of this war into a possible global conflict, I can only say it seems like it would be a very wise and prudent move for Russia to withdraw all troops from Ukraine (including Crimea) immediately, in the name of peace.

      why should we make them do that? Everyone knows that when we appeased the nazis and facists in the late 30s they became content peace loving people.

        I agree, the only way we could deal with the nazis was to wipe them all out, hence Germany suddenly stops invading people all the time.

        Time to start again.

    WW3 is more likely to happen if Russia wins. If we show our bellies to Russia, China would move on Taiwan. If Ukraine wins, we kill two birds with one drone.

      If Ukraine had fallen, China would have pushed a blockade on Taiwan, the domestic pressure on Xi would have been insurmountable, especially after our mess in Afghanistan.

      Zelensky had the clutch save, if he took that ride things would have gotten dark.

      You just want to say: "You’re getting your ass spanked by your version of Canada, trying to add more countries to the opposing side doesn’t sound like a cunning plan, unless you’re Baldrick.

        This would be a hilarious and excellent unified response, especially if it were done as a joint tongue-in-cheek statement by the US Secretary of State and Canadian Foreign Minister

      make my day

      You look forward to a global conflict?

      ed. not really understanding how this comment has been wildly misinterpreted?

      • if ukraine has the weapons, the reach, the men; go for it. Invade russia. They (russia) asked for war, and it should be levelled against them.

      But I wouldn’t say that would “make my day”. It would be, absolute worst case, a long drawn out war involving even more countries.

      Fully in support of Ukraine in every regard. Even if that means bombing and invading russia. But I dont think that would “make my day”.

    Kremlin not owning up responsibility they started a war of aggression against their neighbor because they were worried said neighbor would cozy up to the west and elevate themselves out of this post-soviet dark age. If a world war does kick off because Russo-Ukrainian War conflict, the history books will record it’s start date of 27 Feb 14, when Russian invaded Crimea after the Maidan Revolution went sharply against Russian interests.

    Twice since launching his war against Ukraine on Feb. 24, Russian President Vladimir Putin has assured the Russian people that his “special military operation” is going according “to plan.”

    “Everything is going according to plan,” Putin told Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko when discussing the planned nuclear deployment at the Russian leader’s Black Sea summer retreat in Sochi.

    Putin says advance of Russian forces in Ukraine is going to plan

    May 15, 2024 7:04 AM PDT

    MOSCOW, May 15 (Reuters) - President Vladimir Putin said on Wednesday that Russian forces were improving their positions every day along the front in Ukraine in all directions and that the advance was going to plan.

    I have been repeatedly informed that the Three Day Special Military Operation is going according to plan.

    While I am certain that Putin would not lie about the TDSMO going according to plan, and am sure that this is all part of The Plan, I am starting to wonder about the actual merits of his plan.

      At this rate, Russia is on target to take the “inept military” meme crown away from France (I am fully aware they have perhaps the most capable military in Europe these days - I’m just referring to the Maginot Line related memes that have been around since WW2).

    Ok. Do it.

    We know you won’t because you’ve literally said everything you’d respond with a nuclear strike to and never did. Ukraine is IN your country and you ain’t doin shit about it.

    The only people scared of Russia are it’s vassal states, for good reason.

    With Russia it’s very simple. You just need to take the opposite of everything they are saying
