      Considering how Russia hasn’t really been reacting to most of what the US and co has done against them, the US likely is confident nothing will come out of it like in most of the other times they did things against Russia, thus, the US will probably escalate this within days. Like many of the other times.

        There’s little reason for Russia to rock the boat at the moment given that they will win if the status quo continues. Direct escalation would make things more unpredictable. However, what I can see happening is Russia sending advanced weapons to Iran, DPRK, Syria, and Yemen.

          This is the U.S. strategy – to provoke Russia into a response that will turn more than Europe against it.

    The underlying cause it’s of course Russian attack of Ukraine and illegal annexation of Crimea. Interesting seeing Russia whining about what they were been doing for but than two years against Ukraine.

        I missed their comment, but these people seem to have an extra dose of “I am very smart” energy, compared to the average lib

      Translation: It’s ok to be killing civilians when they have passports from countries we don’t like! These are excellent news! And even better, we get to hear Russia whining like a little baby about its dead people! Man, what a great chance this event has been to show off my moral superiority on the internet!

        The difference between libs and chuds at this point in history is in their ability to hide their blood thirst. Also - history starts when CNN, NBC, ABC, DEF, XYZ, DoReMiFaSolLaSi News tells them it ought to start. No mention of 2 US-orchestrated color revolutions in Ukraine, no mention of Nazifying Ukraine since the 90s, no mention of crushing anti-Maidan all anti-coup dissent by those fascists in 2014, no mentions of UAF shelling civilians in the Donbass for 8 straight years… Nothing. Goldfish memory and bloodlust

          At this point, most of them are aware of this stuff. They just choose to not remember them. This is deliberate because it allows them to reconcile their racism, their support for Nazis, and their obedience to their governments, with the fact that they are supposed to be against these 3 things.

            I meant “post-Soviet Ukraine”, for the sake of simplicity. But if we go this far - let’s also put the Austrian-German puppet (“UNR”), operation Belladonna and the original Banderites on top of all that. There’s little point though - they are still ignorant af.

          It really is interesting, isn’t it- frankly, I see the libs as not only more insidious (as they have always been) but typically far more dangerous than the average chud nowadays, and this is as a staunch progressive myself.

          As I see it- capitalism has managed to produce a ideological force more odious than the old-school imperialists, or the fascists. A force unhindered by petty things like national preservation (or preservation of anything other than the individual), and which somehow manages to claim itself more virtuous than the aforementioned ideologies- while at the same time (in contrast to both, for all their faults and the fact theirs were terrible) having no true values whatsoever.

    Given the history of false flag terrorism by Pax Americana and the lack of unprovoked military aggression by Russia in Ukraine, I could believe that the USA and its allies were behind the attack of the report. Further evidences include the demographic Russian majority in Crimea, the pro-Russian unification by Ukrainians who have Russian ethnicity which suggested that Crimea citizens supported the annexation by Russia, and the 8 years of genocidal campaign by the Euro-maiden Kyiv government against an ethnic minority group before Russian military intervention.
