So what will all of Trump's praise for Putin look heinous when Russia kills tens of thousands of Ukrainians. Or will it just rub off like all of Donald's absurd statements in the past & Donald will not be held accountable for his cheer-leading of a murderous autocrat.
Russia-Ukraine war: Putin issues chilling warning to West and warns of 'consequences' Russian president Vladimir Putin has warned of 'consequences never encountered in your history' if the West attempts to stop the invasion of Ukraine which began in the early hours of this morning https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/world-news/putin-issues-chilling-warning-west-26315119 Vladimir Putin has given a chilling warning to the West that an attempt to stop or interfere with Russia's invasion of Ukraine would lead to "consequences never encountered in your history". The Russian president made an early morning address declaring that a special military operation would be launched in the east of Ukraine in separatist areas. But what immediately followed was a "wide-scale" assault on their Balkan neighbour with multiple missile attacks on the capital Kyiv as well as other cities across the country. He said in the televised speech at 6am local time: "Whoever tries to hinder us, and even more so, to create threats to our country, to our people, should know that Russia's response will be immediate. And it will lead you to such consequences that you have never encountered in your history. "We are ready for any development of events. All the necessary decisions have been made in this regard. I hope that I will be heard." Putin told the Ukrainian military to lay down its weapons and go home. "I urge you to immediately lay down your weapons and go home. All servicemen of the Ukrainian army who fulfil this demand will be able to freely leave the combat zone and return to their families," said Putin. It led to condemnation from leaders around the world. (More at above url)
Putin may not have thought his cunning plan all the way through -- at least as how it relates to NATO expansion.
Right, sure. Putin never considered Sweden and Finland might join Nato. Not in any war game sim, or any of his intelligence briefings. Totally blindsided.
UK threatening to shutdown Russia from the Swift system. Russia threatening to cut off natural gas supplies to Europe. Your move, Boris. This should be interesting. Not counting war in Ukraine disrupts supplies of commodities that Ukraine supplies the US and Europe? Keep ratcheting up the pressure guys, Putin is afraid now. Atleast, you think he is. LOL
