2. "no American lives will be lost"
3. "We will give unlimited aid to Taiwan"
4. "We will fight China to the last Taiwanese"

⚡Russia does not need other people's land, but it will not give up its own

Main statements of Dmitry Medvedev's speech at the Russian Znanie Society’s educational marathon:

▪️ We are building the future of our country, which is today fulfilling a special, fateful mission in the global world, and there is no doubt that it will be fulfilled;

▪️ It is important to realize where and how Russia's borders are delineated in our time and what they may be in the future;

▪️ The territories on both banks of the Dnepr River are an integral part of Russia's historical strategic borders;

▪️ We are not talking about expanding the borders of the Russian Federation by seizing the territory of Ukraine;

▪️ If Ukraine had not fallen into the stupid trap set by the US to fight Russia, everything could have been different;

▪️ A country's security can be effectively ensured only when it is confident of stability far beyond its perimeter.
I knew deep down that Odessa and Kharkov will be returning home to the motherland. Zele plays right into the Elite's hand in the west.

A country without a navy sinking Russian warships. It is now clear who is responsible.
It's NATO all along under the cover of Ukraine name. Unfortunately, their little success here and there is incomparable to the huge losses they have suffered so far. And they will keep suffering more.

Poland has lost 10k soldiers fighting as mercenaries in Ukraine. America and France has lost up to thousand of soilder. British NATO soldiers has run away from Ukraine cheesy

Russia has defeated Ukraine. Most Ukraine best soldiers has been killed and wonded.

What Russia is fighting in Ukraine is NATO.
Correct. The German Chancellor, Olaf Scholz has revealed recently that British soldiers are the ones launching the Storm Shadow missiles in Ukraine. Nato regulars have been involved from day one, and many of them have died in Ukraine.

Funny how Ukraine could've benefited from this negotiations if they were not deceived by the west.

Anyways, there's no going back now, according to Putin: There's only one decider in this war and that's the battlefield.

And the only red line is for any country to put boots on ground.
If any country thinks they are stronger than Russia and can fight Russia, they have the opportunity now to officially put boots on ground in Ukraine.
Many people still do not know what is really happening in Ukraine. NATO regular forces has been fighting in Ukraine since the beginning of the first month of war. When you recall what happened in Mariupol, especially inside the Azovstal steel plant, you'd understand better that Russia has been fighting and killing NATO regular forces in Ukraine. Poland, France, and Canadian forces, including high ranking personnel, have been liquidated in Ukraine many times. What you're hearing from those countries now regarding sending troops to Ukraine is purely out of bitterness that most of the troops they sent unofficially were killed or gravely wounded by the Russians. So, they're desperately trying to formalize the deployment in order to avoid accountability pby the time the whole thing becomes glaring.

Do you remember how they sent helicopters several times attempting to evacuate some high ranking figures trapped by Russia in the Azovstal steel plant? They keep making the attempt when all calls from Macron to Putin failed to get them freed. On each occasion they tried to fly out the high ranking figures, the helicopters were destroyed by Russian forces that surrounded Mariupol. Why would NATO be so desperate to free those guys if they weren't top NATO military brass but soldiers who went on their own accord as they claimed? One Canadian General was among them, which the Canadian government described as "formal" general with a problem of his own. What they are calling mercenaries are real NATO soldiers under a special contract so as to provide a narrative for plausible denial when the need arises.

The translation is very poor.
Macron didn't mention "the future".
I don't know if the translators did this on purpose, but as a guy whom is fluent in french, what I saw was macron talking about "officially sending troops" and clearly insinuating that the west has been sending troops unofficially.
He said there was no agreement to officially and openly send troops to Ukraine, but sending troops to Ukraine should always be an option.

Some of these leaders might be hoping for ww3, because nothing else will save them from accountability to their people. The decisions which they have taken are illegal in their own constitutions and their decisions have damaged their countries' interests.
Only ww3 can give them an escape from legal repercussions. Just my opinion.
'Just your opinion,' but, I dare say your opinion is valid vis-a-vis the subject matter.
These guys are hell-bent on bringing the whole world into nuclear confrontation just to escape accountability to their people. Every sane thinking person knows that any NATO official troop deployment to Ukraine would instantly lead to nuclear confrontation. Macron is crazy to have publicly insinuated such a scenario. I don't know what type of cult they belong that they can afford to care less for the survival of their people. The man had so much to throw at Ukraine, but cannot afford to meet the needs of farmers in France. Something is definitely wrong with the psychic of most of these western leaders. Or, is it that the US has something on them as such that they're behaving this way like controlled zombies? sad

It wasn't just in Ukraine. The CIA had listening posts and secret facilities erected in Georgia as well prior to the Georgian-Russian war in 2008. Those listening posts and secrets facilities in the border areas were taken down by the Russians when Medvedev ordered the Russian forces to strike Georgia in response to the bombing of ethnic Russians by Georgian military.

Turkey wants to test both tech to see the weakness of the f16 and s400

It all a game plan.
Well, you may be right or wrong. But, pairing the F16 against the S-400 would be an overkill for the S400 and practically unfair to the F16. Aside range and number of targets it can lock on at once, the S-400 was meant to defend against stealthy aerial threats like the F22 Raptors and the F-35, hence the F16 is way out of its league. I still think Turkey wants the F-16s for its reliability as a good fighter plane.

1. The USSR did the main battles of the war whereas the allies did little.
The battles of stallinggrad and Moscow are what broke germany.
When the USSR was busy beating the best armies of germany, the usa was fighting tired and resting german soldiers and children.
To punish their soldiers, the germans would just simply send them to the eastern front to face the russians.
In case you haven't noticed stalingrad and moscow are within Russia, yeah most of the heavy battles which destroyed the german army happened on the land which we now identify as Russian federation or Novorussia.
while the germans were shooting at soviet soldiers, the americans mostly played the "good cop" role and were taking the surrender of german soldiers who were running away from soviet soldiers. American soldiers were seen by nazi soldiers as saviours from the soviet (Russian) soldiers.

2. Against Napoleon, Russia once again gets all the credit. When napoleon was defeated the other countries which were against napoleon thanked Russian emperor and credited him for defeating napoleon. If they thought Russia was to take all the glory, then who the hell are you to say otherwise ?

3. Non agression pact and alliance are two different things. But I know, you are just copy and pasting. You don't actually know what you are talking about. Let me give you some allies of hitler's germany: a. Finland (finland even kept using the swastika right up to 2020). b. Romania. c. Italy d. Japan. Today germany and all its nazi allies are part of nato except japan which is part of g7 and is america's best friend/slave.

4. I'm not sure you realize that germany progressed rapidly in the ussr and what finally started beating germany is actually a part of Russian federation and novorussia (which is going back to russian federation as we speak). The western ukrainians whom you love so much joined hitler quicker than usain bolt runs a 100 metre race.

5. What amazes me is how people like you turn history upside down to forgive germany for nazism and basically blame russia for it. All the nazis get a free pass, but ussr which defeated them must be blaimed for nazism.
That guy is a bot. Stop wasting your time.
