Compare that to what the Russian soldiers have saying, from the start? Be real. Do you think there aren't a lot of shell shocked soldiers out there with free opinions. At least they won't get shot for speaking freely. And just how well informed is this soldier?
"Alexander Khinshtein, Member of Russian State Duma, claimed that the man started shooting from an automatic weapon after the private security company employees on guarde in the village called the district policeman. "
All those private security. Who's side will they go on? Their master? Abandon their master? Side with the security in the next town? Or attack them in a territorial grab? Big ones. Small ones. Which oligarch has the biggest wallet? What will the price for security be? It's a powder keg. Just watch the whole thing hit the fan when the lid is taken off the pressure cooker.
"Like I said....
.....#2months"
but you said that #3months ago.
They think the intention of the west is to attack.
They will not hear any statement otherwise.
They will continue to murder children in their cots to answer their hysteria.
At the end of the day, maybe a direct all out war on Russia is the only answer.
Next false flag from Russia, seize it and release the dogs 'o war on them. They can then compare their fantasy propaganda with the real thing.
Bye bye Russia.
"Ever hear of Erik Prince and Blackwater / Academi ?"
No.
I know of Sandline International. Not sure what the big slam dunk is you think you are making going off all orthogonal.
All you prove is Russia was a paranoid state. Maybe it is time to accept the implied declaration of war on the west through the unwarranted invasion of Crimea and increased hostility and further invasion of other parts of Ukraine more recently, engage the UN to pass a mandate qualifying the eradication of all Russian military removing it as a future threat to more Ukraine territory, the break up of Russia and land masses distributed to ethnic zones and erase the name Russia from the future of the world. Perhaps the world should just go ahead and full fill Russia's perspective.
Ermmm... does the name Prigozhin mean anything to you?
There has been much mocking by the Russian propagandists at the repeated reporting from intelligence on the deterioration within the Kremlin. Then the full expose proved the intelligence correct all along.
There are multiple private armies all over Russia under the guise of security firms. There are oligarchs galore looking to be the big man. When the house of cards inevitably falls, it'll all come out. There are no alliances. It will be oligarch on oligarch for months, Libya MKII.
Prigozhin was a little taster of what is to come.
You will be woken up.
Putin will be taken care of internally. Russia will collapse into civil war. The west will stand by and watch, as it did with the collapse of the USSR. It might be the west's greatest error, as was standing by last time as it has turned out. The door to Chinese expansion will also open, but as part of the deal over Taiwan, letting China take something like a 1/3 of Russian land will be a price worth paying.
As long as Australia have democratic consent, good luck to them.
This has nothing to do with the west and NATO encroaching east or threatening Russia with 'expansion'. This is to do with Putin and Russia's ego being battered with every rejection. Every nation withdrawing from Russia, seeking alliances elsewhere, rejecting Russia.
It is not any military threat that upsets Putin. It is the rejection that gets to him. He has screwed up and thrown it all away. He keeps trying to make a grand victory to full fill a noble legacy, but each venture just takes his reputation and the rest of Russia from bad to worse.
This is why his final act is to seek and force a war with NATO, using nuclear weapons. One last venture to try and save face from his own historical humiliation. He has become desperate for a victory - anywhere at any cost. Like Hitler, he will knowingly take down Russia with him.
Russian wars?
In is an impressive list.

The 20th and 21st century makes interesting reading. Russia invading Poland in 1939. But that isn't the narrative of the WWII you want everybody to hear.
The recent outright aggression shown by Russia throughout the 20th century as more than enough to persuade states to seek protection elsewhere once the Soviet oppression was pushed away.
From 1991 to 1997 the Russian's had al the possible opportunities but regressed into a nasty aggressive state. And where direct military action lacked, threats, posturing and pressure was applied in multiples.
You come on here trying to paint Russia as some sort of sweet innocent under threat?
You are beyond deluded, you are actually hysterical.
Napoleon.
LOL
" Imagine if the Chinese bought up land and built military bases in Eire. "
Every capital and many main cities have a China Town all over the world and especially in the west. The areas are practically regarded and respected as Chinese turf. We don't have to imagine it. They do not infringe on the host city, do not drain resources, they contribute and supplement and are largely welcome due to their behaviour. Compare that to Russia Town in each capital. An absolute 100% NO!
"Napoleon, Hitler and NATO "
Do you not hear yourself?
And if NATO had ever invaded Russia, we would not have the ongoing Russian problem today. It may transpire historically the biggest mistake of NATO was to NOT invade Russia in the first place.
I hear mass hysteria in your argument. I hear paranoia in your argument. I hear schizophrenia in your argument. I hear a 'Napoleon' complex in your argument.
The basic fundamental point can not be swept away. Why did the former USSR states seek NATO protection? What were they seeking protection from? There is no escaping this basic point.
Napoleon? Good god............................ Talk about clutching at straws.

Love, peace, unity and unicorns dancing on rainbows.
NOT!
The dictator has to suppress more and more and more. We all know the trajectory of such regimes. They always end with flames, burning and bullets. Have a 'glorious' civil war.

Even Bulgaria is now to send arms and vehicles to help Ukraine. What last remaining threads of support Moscow though it had, are being cut al over the planet, from Brazil, to China, to Iran - EVEN BULGARIA NOW!

Dirty, filthy child murderers.
A decade of hellish reprisal will be delivered to Russia. Nowhere will be safe.
'The west' has never invaded Russia, - you seek to morph early 20th century Nazis with 'the west'. Remember, the nazis invaded many countries, don't flatter yourself Russia was something special in Hitler's eyes.
Now, how many countries has Russia attacked around it's borders and further afield, without any UN consideration, often brutal attacks on defenceless civilian's???? You want to believe in sweet innocent Russia wronged by a defence pact that everybody wants to join as a defence against Russian aggression. Putin may well get the war he craves with the west yet. Based on the performance of Russia's modern clown army, it won't take much wipe them out. You should be far more concerned protecting your eastern flank. China isn't so considerate, sees a vastly weakened Russia and rich territorial pickings. Do you think there will be special meetings of the UN to denounce China invading Russia. You have no idea of the hell to be unleashed on Russia in the years to come. Russia is finished and will be consigned to the history books. China is currently constantly updating its invasion plan and moving a lot of equipment through Mongolia east.
Russia deserves all that's coming to it. NOBODY is coming to your defence.
"The North Atlantic Treaty Organization was created by ten European countries, the U.S. and Canada in 1949 in the aftermath of World War II in order to provide mutual protection in case of an attack against any member. For decades it stood as the bulwark against a possible invasion from the Soviet Union and its allies. When Poland — the very heart of the Warsaw Pact — established itself as a democracy in 1989, it upended the old order. Tensions were high as Warsaw strove for Western integration and NATO membership, wanting to protect itself as much as possible from its historical foe and oppressor. However, Washington had to delicately balance those ambitions with its relations with the USSR, now under the more enlightened leadership of Mikhail Gorbachev. Nicholas Rey was the U.S. Ambassador to Poland from 1993 to 1997 when Poland was starting the process of NATO accession and discusses its tortuous path to membership, which was completed on March 12, 1999, when Poland, Hungary, and the Czech Republic became full-fledged members."

WHO is responsible for countries seeking to join NATO?
Russia itself.
Kat exemplifies the mass hysteria induced in to Russians and supporters. They have been fed a misappropriation about NATO. The question kat has to answer is why, after the end of the USSR, did the 'Eastern bloc' countries end up seeking the protective umbrella of NATO and not the protective umbrella of the CIS or forming their defence comunity.
What was it about post soviet Russia that worried all those states so much?
Who is actually responsible for NATO expansion? Like I said before, Russia was given an open door to join the global community. The G7 became the G8. There were opening arms of welcome everywhere. Russia's decline into isolation and exclusion as a full blown terrorist state is entirely Russia's fault and the response to Russia's decline as an ever increasing threat is entirely Russia's responsibility.
The only error Ukraine made was to hand over the soviet nukes to Russia in return for worthless security guarantees whilst not seeking to aggravate Russia by not joining NATO along with the others.
There is no way to spin it. Russia re 100% the author of their misfortune, and you ain't seen noting yet. Just wait and see when the retaliation starts post war.

The arrogance of these Russian shi.ts knows no bounds. They don't care less who they cross or humiliate. They are flailing out at everybody and everything.
And people like to pretend 85% of the world is on their side. What a joke. Putin isn't even welcome at a BRICS summit. He's got very few friends left, so he blocks the grain, humiliates Xi (repeatedly), snubs Modi and now pi.sses of the Iranians with involvement in another territorial land grab. Even Turkey is placing an ever greater distance between them.
And you seek to defend this monster and his regime? You filthy little creature. You deserve everything coming to you.
