That doesn't sound right...

Can't the wind just blow radioactive stuff away from russia to other countries?
It can, but modern nuclear missiles are much smaller in scope and also much less radioactive than the stuff that was dropped on Japan, which was basically duct-taped together and nobody really knew what the fuck will happen.

Even Chernobyl was fairly localized, and that stuff was pushing 400 times more radioactivity than Hiroshima: https://www.history.com/topics/1980s/chernobyl

Also notice that Chernobyl remains uninhabitable till this day, not so in the case of Hiroshima. So it all greatly depends.

It’s because he’s full of shit. NATO will continue to pile more and more weaponry into Ukraine, and he’ll do nothing about it. Finland will continue its application into NATO, and he’ll do nothing about it. Russian infrastructure will continue to be targeted by saboteurs, and he’ll do nothing about it. He’s a corrupt mafia boss, not a megalomaniacal dictator.

I know we’re making a lot of comparisons with Hitler, but he isn’t like Hitler really. He’s a crook, not an ideologue. He loves money, and living a swanky lifestyle. Hitler would have lived in his own shit to conquer the world. Putin is stupid, greedy, self obsessed and living a fantasy. These are not the character traits of someone prepared to risk their own lives.
This is a spot on analysis. Nobody should take Putin seriously. He will to the stuff Russians always do and threaten, but he can't do shit.

...I don't even know where to begin with this.


she said: ‘Either we lose in Ukraine, or the Third World War starts.

‘I think World War Three is more realistic, knowing us, knowing our leader. The most incredible outcome, that all this will end with a nuclear strike, seems more probable to me than the other course of events.


‘This is to my horror on one hand. But on the other hand, it is what it is. We will go to heaven, while they will simply croak. We’re all going to die someday'

I don't see how China is not telling them to stfu, in case of nuclear war they'll most likely end up being hit too.
Because China is smart (unfortunately) and is letting Russia hang itself, while observing West's reaction and what could happen when they invade Taiwan. China doesn't want this conflict to end anytime soon, they are directly benefitting from it. Just imagine how many companies that supplied from Russia are left scrambling to desperately move their production elsewhere. DING DING DING, let me introduce you to Pearl River Delta...

Collective Hitler, of 40 countries, helping one country stop Russian genocide plans, makes Russians want to die and end it all if they lose. and the Russians think they're they bring justice & peace to the world?

One of Germany's biggest energy firms has said it is preparing to buy Russian gas using a payment system that critics say will undermine EU sanctions.

Good job Germany. Really, really great job.

Now let's watch other EU countries take that as a signal to do the same and undermine the whole effort to stop Russia's war and atrocities in the Ukraine and eastern europe.

Random comment: Xi always looks so disinterested in videos. I find it hilarious.

WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden will ask Congress for $33 billion to fund both humanitarian and military aid to Ukraine through September of this year, senior administration officials said Thursday.

The massive aid package will be accompanied by a proposal to Congress that it amend several longstanding criminal laws to make it easier for the U.S. to seize the assets of sanctioned Russian oligarchs, sell the seized property and funnel the proceeds to the Ukrainians.

The $33 billion includes a request for $20.4 billion in additional security and military assistance for Ukraine as well as additional money to fund U.S. efforts to bolster European security in cooperation with NATO allies.

“It’s not cheap. But caving to aggression is going to be more costly if we allow it to happen,” Biden said Thursday.

The administration said this is intended to equip Kyiv and European partners with additional artillery, armored vehicles and anti-armor and anti-air capabilities, accelerate cyber capabilities and advanced air defense systems, and help clear landmines and improvised explosive devices.

In a letter accompanying his request to Congress, Biden warned lawmakers that the cost of failing to check Russian President Vladimir Putin would be far greater than the current policy proposal.

“Though we expect our NATO allies and EU partners will be making even larger collective contributions than the United States, there is no doubt that continuing to support Ukraine in this war against Russian aggression will require a substantial additional investment on our part,” the president wrote.

“What I want to make clear to the Congress and the American people is this: the cost of failing to stand up to violent aggression in Europe has always been higher than the cost of standing firm against such attacks,” Biden added.

Is that 33B money that Ukraine will have to pay back, or are they legit getting this money no strings attached? Because that would be pretty cool

You're likely right. As I said, they'll probably just use Germany doing this as a green flag to do it now.

The lot of them bankrolling the atrocities in Ukraine and the threat Russia poses to the wider continent and world while publicly saying the opposite and expecting others like the US to step in and protect them if they should face the same threat.

First rule in life is never give anyone money expecting them to pay it back…it’s aid, not a loan
Well it depends. The IMF, for example, gave over a billion dollars to Ukraine that many articles call financial aid or financial support, but it is actually a loan that Ukraine has to pay back.

Just another proof that russian nation is completely mentally fucked by Putin.
You really think that they believe this stuff??

A gun pointed at your whole family or the idea of being poisoned by putrid's goons would be enough to let me say that i enjoy licking dirty assholes on national tv...

No one in that video is ok with dying or putin using nukes, i bet my left testicle on that.

They probably have all the shit they say written by the kremlin.

Plus all the shit they've down and said has put them in a place of no return. They are all in even if they disagree.

Mr. Community
This has been known to be what Put-in wants from the start. Belarussian president showed this in hes presentation before the conflict.

Well, let’s hope he doesn’t get it.

Shame Georgia is currently presided by a putinlicker, otherwise anyone else would have rushed to reclaim ossetia now that Russia can’t reinforce.

Russian guy at worked called Selenskyj a junkie and said he's not a real ukranian because he's a jew
Ironic thing is, Zelensky is a Russophone Ukrainian (his native language is Russian). And Arestovych, his chief adviser, is a genuine Russian, born in Georgia.

The idea that actual Russians might not want to live under Tsar Putin's rule is something muskals simply cannot comprehend.

I still call bullshit on this. ICBM defenses aren’t good enough to take them off the table, and nuclear attack subs are just as stealthy and unable to be countered. This weapon system sounds like some retard’s wet dream rather than something that would ever be deployed.

Just think about the amount of energy required to create a 500m tsunami. Nukes are big, but not that big, and directly detonating above a city is going to be insanely more efficient than trying to move a bunch of water onto it.

You dont just like you cant stop all the nukes they can send. You just make sure when it happens their country seizes to exist.

I agree with what you're saying about Russians. Most of them want fucking out of that shithole but I wouldn't count these two as Russians or remotely close. Many of the former soviet block kids who grew up in the 80s to early 90s period were Russophones. I was one of those and I don't have much in common with most Russians besides the language. While the language was the same and there are some similarities on the surface level, the cultures are completely different not even factoring in different religions. I can name you hundreds of differences just in day to day life interactions.

I'm not saying that there are no nutjobs in russia, but those people on tv are kinda forced to say what they say, maybe not every single one, but it's hard to imagine people being happy to die because your boss is a shithead.
