what a BS historic fact is the worst aggressor since ww2 is the USA. no matter of rhetoric. Although I agree Putin is coward and should've taken ukraine in 2014. and not enforcing red lines is humiliating although Russia will still win no matter size of western balls. Just more ukrainians will die. And if west stupid enough to escalate much more westerners will die too ukraine is on life support and population completely demoralized and so many ways to harm USA not foolishly answering provocations Houthis just striked US aircraft carrier. Basically everyone hates USA so it's not a problem to find willing party and within USA too
https://edition.cnn.com/2024/06/03/...s-hit-russian-territory-intl-latam/index.html Ukraine claims it hit missile system inside Russian territory using Western weapons By AnneClaire Stapleton and Christian Edwards, CNN 3 minute read Updated 3:53 AM EDT, Tue June 4, 2024 The picture posted on Facebook by Ukrainian government minister Iryna Vereshchuk that purportedly shows a Russian S-300 missile system hit by a Western-supplied weapon inside Russian territory. From Iryna Vereshchuk CNN — Ukrainian forces claimed Monday that they had successfully hit a Russian S-300 missile system using Western-supplied weapons inside Russian territory. “It burns beautifully. It’s a Russian S-300. On Russian territory. The first days after permission to use Western weapons on enemy territory,” Ukrainian government minister Iryna Vereshchuk posted on Facebook alongside a picture purporting to show the strike. This comes just days after US President Joe Biden gave Ukraine permission to carry out limited strikes using US weapons in Russian territory around Kharkiv, after several European nations had removed restrictions on how the weapons can be used. It is unclear if the weapons used in the strike described by Vereshchuk were US-supplied. Ukraine had for months pleaded with Washington to allow it to strike targets on Russian soil with US weapons, as Moscow launched a brutal aerial and ground assault on Kharkiv, safe in the knowledge that its troops could retreat back to Russian soil to regroup and its weapons depots could not be targeted with Western arms. The permission granted by the US was both groundbreaking and bold, but tentative and highly conditional. Ukraine can only hit targets around Kharkiv, and the US is standing firm in not allowing Ukraine to use the most formidable munition it has been given to fire into Russia: the long-range missiles known as ATACMS that can hit targets 300 kilometers (nearly 200 miles) away. Instead, Ukraine can only use shorter-range missiles known as GMLRS, which have a range of around 70 kilometers (around 40 miles). For that reason, military analysts praised the decision, but tempered expectations. Franz-Stefan Gady, an associate fellow at the International Institute for Strategic Studies, told CNN the GMLRS cross-border strikes will allow Ukraine “to hit some Russian staging areas, command and control centers, as well as supply depots. It will not stop but complicate Russian military operations against Kharkhiv.” Mathieu Boulegue, a consulting fellow at UK-based Chatham House, told CNN the policy change was “not a game changer, per se. It’s an add-on, a steroid, an extra booster for Ukraine to defend itself.” Related article Zelensky says China’s ‘support to Russia’ will extend war in Ukraine during surprise appearance in Asia While the removal of this taboo appears to mark a new chapter in the war, Russia has already experienced Ukrainian strikes with Western weapons on territory to which it lays claim. Ukraine has frequently targeted occupied Crimea, which Russia annexed in 2014, using “Storm Shadow” missiles provided by the United Kingdom. Ukraine also launched strikes on Kharkiv and Kherson in late 2022, as it sought to liberate the regions occupied by Russia in the early weeks of the war. Then as now, Russian President Vladimir Putin and other Russian officials rattled the nuclear saber in an attempt to deter Western support. Before Biden gave Kyiv the green light, Putin said the decision could lead to “serious consequences,” particularly for “small and densely populated countries.” The US joined several other European countries, including the UK, France and Germany, in removing this particular restriction on how Ukraine can use the weapons it has been given. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has praised Biden’s decision to allow some strikes in Russian territory as a “step forward” that will help his forces defend the embattled Kharkiv region.
Putin is rounding up the conscientious objectors and sending them directly to the front. No need for training; one day on the street and a couple days later on the front in Kharkiv as meat for a human wave attack. No intent of survival. Well, that is one way to get rid of refuseniks. Russia sending conscientious objectors to the front en masse due to lack of soldiers for Kharkiv offensive https://www.yahoo.com/news/russia-sending-conscientious-objectors-front-061100428.html Russians who refuse to fight against Ukraine are "forcibly sent to the front", Russian media Verstka reported on June 3. Conscientious objectors from various Russian regions are put on planes and sent to Ukraine "under machine guns", regardless of injury, petitions, or court decisions in cases of desertion. Forty men with machine guns and batons came to the Yekaterinburg corps in May to hold and then take between 170-180 people, two lawyers and three families of Russian conscientious objectors told journalists. Objectors were "herded into buses", sent to a military airfield, and then immediately to Ukraine, Verstrka wrote. Those mobilized who refuse to fight against Ukraine are kept in military units and forcibly sent to the front. The expulsions started en masse in May. The wife of an objector was told by a Russian investigator that this was from "an order from Moscow." Namely, the refuseniks, who were kept in a Rostov military unit, were "beaten and tied up" when they did not want to get on buses "to Donetsk". One told relatives while on the bus they were assigned to assault brigades "as a punishment." The Russian Defense Ministry may take such measures due to the lack of soldiers "for the siege of Kharkiv", for which, according to the publication's sources, "at least 300 thousand men" are needed, Verstka wrote, citing a lawyer. "Conscripts and inept reservists who signed the contract are being sent, in particular, to the southern borders of Russia to support units, and to the border troops - to free up experienced soldiers for the offensive on Kharkiv," Verstka reported, citing several sources. Russia could begin a new wave of mobilization in the coming months, "going beyond its creative recruitment strategies," the Financial Times reported in late May.
Without video proof, this is just western media propaganda. I post hard video proof: Another day, another new forced conscription video from Ukraine: But the Ukrainian people are starting to fight back.
Yup, people everywhere are waking up that the 'goody good' West are often just as corrupt and hypocritical as Russia or China. Still some naive amongst us who are Western cultists refuse to believe their governments aren't stealing away their lives. Here in Australia an example, anybody attempting to contact Tax office or Social Security dept can't. Their offices are closed or understaffed. The phones, can't get through and constantly cut you off. The government will take your money fast, but they run away from accountability.
Such a shame. They sent the cops to Ukraine to be meat in Putin's war of aggression. Thread Reader - https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1792476674329575931.html
