    Yeah, no. Russia’s acting like the bully (or abusive parent) who kicks your ass on the regular, now out in public with people watching, holding up a fist and then laughing at you for flinching. “Look at this p-ssy acting like I’d really hit him”, says the bully, and he knows and you know he’s going to beat your ass when no one’s watching, but to the rest of the world he has plausible deniability. The bully’s not going to beat your ass now, because people are watching and he’s afraid of consequences, but watching you flinch back makes him feel just as strong as beating you does.

    That’s Russia right now. Announcing an ongoing genocide in Ukraine, moving 100k troops to the border, and then going “lol you cowards thought we were serious? Fuck you.” And then when the media cycle moves on and the world stops paying attention and Ukraine tries to go back to normal the troops will still be there waiting.

    There’s a reason Trump and his supporters love Putin so much. They both confuse bullying with manliness.

      You are spewing lies. Which Russian official said anything like that? You clearly believe too much in the propaganda from western media.

        Amassing troops on Ukraine’s borders, edging warplanes into Finland’s airspace, and getting chased about by the Irish fishing fleet certainly isn’t spreading FUD, right?

          “Ukraines borders” is Russian teritorry, so of course the military is stationed there. Meanwhile, why does United States and NATO have military bases all over eastern Europe?

            What are you talking about? They weren’t stationed there until just this year. And they’re stationed in Belarus, Moldova, Crimea along with forces in the Baltic Sea.

            To discourage Russia from invading it’s neighbors, maybe? As it repeatedly has. You’re not suggesting that the massed troops aren’t a direct threat, are you? Because the last time that happened, Russia did indeed invade Ukraine.

              Russia has never invaded Ukraine. If you are talking about Crimea, there was a referendum held on joining Russia, and the large majority agreed. Not surprising when a fascist coup is happening, and nationalist militias intend to murder ethnic Russians.

                Untrue, comrade. Donbas was lousy with Russian troops. You’ve got quite a list of lies there, too. The best one is divining intent without a shred of evidence.

                  Using that logic, NATO has invaded Ukraine since Ukraine is crawling with NATO troops.

                  I have watched videos from Donbass, and there was not a single Russian soldier to be seen. But if you are so sure, show me a single picture/video of a soldier with Russian insignia in Donbass. It is true that individual Russians travelled to Donbass and joined the militia. Nothing wrong with that, fascists from all the western countries are fighting alongside the Ukrainian military.

          Amassing what troops? Meanwhile, exact same kind of edging is done by US regularly. US sub just violated Russian waters this week. Maybe stop guzzling propaganda for a bit and go touch grass.

            Are you calling Putin a liar? He said that the amassed Russian troops are withdrawing. So… those troops?

            And those satellite photos of military bridges being erected in Belarus really sound like US propaganda. Yep. You doubt the facts and claim doubts as factual, comrade.

              That’s not what he said at all. Russia conduced a joint anti-terrorism exercise in Belarus that was scheduled back in 2019. You should learn some basic facts before running your mouth.

      You western propagandists really need to get your story straight. You’re claiming that recognition of independence of Donetsk and Luhansk is now an invasion, but you clowns also claimed that Russia already had troops there, so which is it? 🤡
