World War III ?

[dbair1967]

It's all talk and complete hypocrisy. We "sanction" Russia, all the while we and Europe buy their oil. And the administration won't change course. They're so dug in on their twisted ideology that they'd rather fund the Russian war campaign than actually do something meaningful, cut off the Russian oil supply and drill, drill, drill......

The true lunacy of this is the Keystone Pipeline actually gave us A LOT more oil than we currently have to BUY from Russia, but Vegetable in Chief shut it down.

The true lunacy of this is the Keystone Pipeline actually gave us A LOT more oil than we currently have to BUY from Russia, but Vegetable in Chief shut it down.

Worse than that is the oil not flowing through the Keystone pipeline will still be refined and bused by someone else. It is a net 0 for carbon emissions. It is simply another virgin being tossed into a volcano by the left wing idiots.

They wanted to destroy Ukraine so many times, but failed - address by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy​

3 March 2022 - 11:20


Unbreakable people of invincible Ukraine!

Exactly two years ago, the first case of COVID-19 was recorded in Ukraine. The first weeks of fighting it were extremely difficult. But we were united, and therefore strong, and therefore we withstood. Exactly a week ago, Ukraine was attacked by another virus. Another disease. By those who suffer from severe annexation and occupation of foreign lands. One week ago, at 4 am, Russia invaded our independent Ukraine, our land. Acute fit of aggression, megalomania, delusion of persecution. Heavy psychological complexes and as a result - missile systems. Rocket artillery. Tanks and other armored vehicles - simply like locusts. The first hours and days of full-scale war were extremely difficult. But we were united, and therefore strong, and therefore we withstood. And it will be so. And we will continue to stand.

We stand so that the invaders were forced to change tactics. Russia's missile and bomb strikes at Ukrainian cities are a confession that they could not do anything significant on land. All lines of our defense are preserved. The enemy has no success in any of the strategic directions. They are demoralized. They are doomed. Kyiv survived this night and withstood another missile and bomb strike. Our air defense worked. Kherson, Izyum, all other cities where the invaders carried out strikes from the air, did not give up anything. Chernihiv, Sumy, Mykolaiv hold the line. Odesa. They also want to destroy Odesa. But they will see only the bottom of the Black Sea. The target of Russia was the Assumption Cathedral in Kharkiv. One of the oldest Orthodox monuments of the city, monuments of Ukraine. During the war, the cathedral is a shelter for Kharkiv residents. Shelter for all people: believers and non-believers. For everyone, because everyone is equal. Holy place. Now it is damaged by war. They are not afraid of even that! They enjoy the fact that God does not give an instant rebuff. But he sees. And he answers. Answers so that you cannot hide. There is no such bunker to survive God's response. And we will restore the cathedral so that no trace of war remains there. And even if you destroy all our cathedrals and churches, you will not destroy our sincere faith in God, in Ukraine. Faith in people. We will restore every house, every street, every city. And we say to Russia: learn the words "reparations" and "contributions". You will repay everything you did against Ukraine. In full. And we will not forget those who perished, and God won’t.

You have come to destroy our cities. Destroy our people. Take away from us everything that is dear to us. You cut off electricity, water and heating to civilians in Ukraine. You leave people without food and medicine. You are shelling routes of possible evacuation. There is no weapon that you would not use against us, against the free citizens of Ukraine. And now you are telling your propagandists that you are going to send so-called humanitarian columns to Ukraine... Remember, godless men: when millions of people curse you, you have nothing to save yourself.

Ukrainians in all war-torn regions will receive everything they need from us. Coordination headquarters are working in full. Real humanitarian goods are on the way. Our government has already prepared a program of special assistance for all Ukrainians who have lost the opportunity to work. Now. Because of the war. Where there is fighting! Every employee, every sole proprietor, every citizen of ours, from whom Russia has taken away the opportunity to work, will receive six and a half thousand hryvnias without any conditions. I especially emphasize this for older Ukrainians. Despite the war, we ensure full payment of pensions. Indexed pensions. As it should be in accordance with the law. From March 1, pensions for Ukrainians are indexed by 14%. The money has already gone to the banks. All payments will be made in full.

Ukraine receives weapons from its partners on a daily basis. From real friends. More and more powerful weapons every day. Ukraine is already meeting foreign volunteers who are going to our country. The first of sixteen thousand. They are going to defend freedom. Defend life. For us. For all. And it will be successful. I'm sure.

We have survived in our history and on our land two world wars, three Holodomors, the Holocaust, Babyn Yar, the Great Terror, the Chornobyl explosion, the occupation of Crimea and the war in the east. We do not have a huge territory - from ocean to ocean, we do not have nuclear weapons, we do not fill the world market with oil and gas. But we have our people and our land. And for us - it's gold. That is what we are fighting for. We have nothing to lose but our own freedom and dignity. For us, this is the greatest treasure. They wanted to destroy us so many times. They failed. They wanted to wipe us off the face of the earth. They failed. They backstabbed us. And we are on our feet. They wanted us to be silent. But the whole world heard us. We've been through so much! And if someone thinks that, having overcome all this, Ukrainians - all of us - are scared, broken or will surrender, he knows nothing about Ukraine. And he has nothing to do in Ukraine. Go home. To your home. Protect Russian-speaking people. Not all over the world. In your country. There are almost 150 million of them. And here...

Glory to Ukraine!

Volodymyr Zelenskyy: If the world does not help Ukraine stop Russia now, it will go "to the Berlin Wall"​

3 March 2022 - 22:55



If the world does not help Ukraine stop the Russian Federation now, the aggressor will go to other countries in Eastern Europe, the Baltic states and beyond. President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy said this during a conversation with representatives of the Western media.

"If Ukraine does not stop all this and if the whole world does not unite around the determination of Ukraine, then there will be Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Moldova, Georgia, Poland, and so they will go to the Berlin Wall," he said.

Volodymyr Zelenskyy thanked those countries that support Ukraine and transfer weapons, although the delay in this issue costs "thousands of lives of Ukrainians".

The Head of State also noted that when he became President of Ukraine, he spoke from the very beginning about the need for security guarantees for our country.

According to him, alliances of states such as NATO or the EU must defend their alliances, otherwise they will cease to exist. Volodymyr Zelenskyy noted that there should have been a decisive response to both the migration crisis caused by Belarus and the construction of Nord Stream 2, which has been an energy weapon and a means of pressure from Russia from the very beginning.

"I'm not saying we have to start a war, but the strength of an alliance is that it doesn't allow war. The world must show its strength without fighting," Volodymyr Zelenskyy said.

He added that the serious sanctions that have now finally been imposed on Russia have been the right measure.

However, according to the President of Ukraine, if the world had imposed preventive sanctions against the Russian Federation before the invasion of Ukraine, Russia would not have taken such a step.

Volodymyr Zelenskyy believes that the most important step now would be to close the sky over Ukraine, and he spoke about this with US President Joseph Biden and other foreign leaders.

"The constant bombing of non-military infrastructure kills civilians. Tonight there was a bombing of Kyiv and other cities. You saw what was happening in Kharkiv in recent days, Mariupol was shelled. Moreover, missiles, Iskanders and bombers are flying from the territory of both Belarus and Russia,” he said.

The President noted that if NATO countries cannot close the sky over Ukraine, they should at least provide it with military aircraft.

"We found all these planes, they have plenty. New planes. Are they very expensive, are they more expensive than human life? Well, we found planes from the Soviet era. Can we get them to repel the attacks? On our land, not on the territory of Russia, not on the territory of Belarus, but exclusively on Ukrainian land," Volodymyr Zelenskyy said.

The President stated that "the whole world was late with Ukraine".

"And may them forgive me. Their people told them about it, not my people. You see what is happening in all squares of the world, how people come out and support. Because all these people are people,” the President summed up.

Invaders in captured Ukrainian cities create humanitarian crisis to send their "humanitarian convoys" - President​

3 March 2022 - 23:22



The invaders are creating a humanitarian crisis in the occupied cities of Ukraine, blocking Ukraine's "green corridors" and thus forcing people to leave to the territory of Russia. This was stated by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy during a conversation with representatives of the Western media.

"Humanitarian cargoes for food, drinking water, medicines, insulin, there are especially many appeals from retirees - they are constantly sent on. Entrances for our humanitarian cargoes in the occupied towns have been blocked,” the Head of State said.

According to the President, the invaders are deliberately blocking the "green corridors" so that their humanitarian goods can enter the city from the other side.

They also do not allow Kharkiv residents to pass through "green corridors" to other regions of Ukraine, but instead create conditions and corridors for our citizens to leave to the territory of Russia, said Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

"They say: 'Here's another green corridor'. Go to Russia. Come to Russia, we will give you food, water, no one will kill you there," he said.

The President stressed that Ukraine will never ban or hinder the departure of citizens to Russia who decide to do so for rescue or other reasons. However, he stressed, Ukrainians do not want to go to Russia.

"I can't force people to go to Russia. I can't drive them with sticks. Many of them say: "We will not go there," Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated.

The Head of State also noted that difficult living conditions are being created in the Russian-occupied settlements, which were unable to repel the attack in conditions when the invader significantly outnumbered them.

"Somewhere in some towns, they cut off electricity, take food from stores and then distribute stolen goods in the square to the people with the words: “There you go. We brought you the humanitarian convoy". Cynicism," the President summed up.

Ukraine warns of disaster ‘10 times larger than Chernobyl’ as biggest nuclear plant ‘under heavy weapons fire’

The true lunacy of this is the Keystone Pipeline actually gave us A LOT more oil than we currently have to BUY from Russia, but Vegetable in Chief shut it down.

Dem-tard on TV yesterday "shutting down the Keystone Pipeline had nothing to do with our dependence on foreign oil"

 

[Creeper]

It seems to me Ukraine does not need a lot of help, just a little to stalemate the Russian invasion. If they could get a few planes in the air to at least hold off Russian air superiority, they could attack the Russian convoys that are bogged down by logistical issues. They will not win the war because Putin will never back down now that he has begun his aggression, but by inflicting casualties on the Russian military Ukraine might be able to convince the Russian people a war that kills their sons may not be worth it. The only way to stop this conflict now is to take out Putin and hope someone with a cooler head takes his place - which is doubtful.

Russia is going to win this war eventually and probably within a week or two. The Ukrainians might continue to fight a gorilla war, like Red Dawn, but I don't think that will last either.

I am sure that soon we will be able to tell our people: come back, because there is no more threat - address by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy​

5 March 2022 - 11:22



Free people of a free country!

It is already the tenth day of our national struggle. Sincere faith. And round-the-clock work.

The tenth day is like one infinitely long day. One infinitely long night that does not allow us to have a rest.

Today is Saturday. Saturday. This word means nothing during the war. Like Monday or Thursday or any other day. They all became the same.

We still protect the state. We still save people.

The country does not know weekends anymore. It doesn't matter what time it is. It doesn't matter what date it is. And it will be so until victory.

Late at night I spoke with French President Emmanuel Macron. And with President of Poland Andrzej Duda. Our interaction is constant. Our conversations are daily. I am immensely grateful to each of them. I am immensely grateful to Andrzej for his determination and devotion to our common cause. Protection of people. I am grateful to Andrzej's wife - Agata. They are friends whom I sincerely consider friends and sincerely wish to everyone.

We managed to prevent a humanitarian crisis at the border. We managed to organize the situation so that thousands and thousands of Ukrainian women and children were treated decently. Nobody asks about their nationality, faith or how much money they have. In fact, we no longer have a border with Poland. Because we are together on the side of good. We do not have time for borders.

I am sure that soon we will be able to tell our people: come back!

Come back from Poland, Romania, Slovakia and all other countries.

Come back, because there is no more threat.

We are already thinking about the future. For all Ukrainians. After the war. About how to revive our cities. How to revive the economy. I spoke with World Bank President David Malpass, IMF Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva.

We have an agreement among the largest financial institutions to support Ukraine. There is already a decision on emergency aid and tens of billions of dollars for the reconstruction of Ukraine after the war.

And these are only the first decisions. I emphasize these are only the first. I spoke with Turkish President Erdoğan. I spoke with the leaders of Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. I spoke with President of the European Council Charles Michel and President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen. The main topic is EU membership for Ukraine.

I am grateful to Europeans - hundreds of thousands of people in different cities of our continent. Bratislava, Vilnius, Frankfurt, Lyon, Paris, Tbilisi, Prague. They came out yesterday in support of Ukraine. In support of Europe. They came out for peace to be reached as soon as possible.

I am grateful to Americans for the unwavering bipartisan majority of ordinary people. We saw the poll. We saw the opinion of ordinary people in America who support ordinary people in Ukraine. Who demand tougher sanctions against Russia for aggression already now. Who support closing the sky now to save the lives of our people. 74 percent of Americans stand for the no-fly zone. 74! The vast majority. What else is needed to make a decision? We are sure that the result is similar in other democratic countries.

The Armed Forces of Ukraine bravely hold all key areas of our defense.

They are counterattacking the invaders near Kharkiv - defending the city. They are holding the line in Mykolaiv. Kyiv, Chernihiv region, Sumy region, Donbas. We inflict losses on the invaders they have not seen in their worst dreams.

The Russian army has not reached the planned frontiers. Yet it has reached almost 10 thousand Russian soldiers killed. 10 thousand. This is dreadful! 18-year-old, 20-year-old boys. Very young, almost children. Soldiers who were not even explained why they were going to fight. For what and why they are in a foreign land.

10 thousand. Russia could definitely give these people something else. Instead of death.

The Ukrainian people are resisting even where the invaders managed to pass. Unfortunately. But not for long. I admire every Ukrainian who is not silent. Who protests. Who takes the national flag and shows the Russian military that they will lose. They will definitely lose. Because it is impossible to win against people who stop military equipment without weapons in their hands. Who refuse to take anything from the hands of the invaders. Whose situation is tough and dangerous. But they do not lose their dignity. And will never lose it.

At the talks in Belarus, the groups agreed on the first step. To bring back at least one percent of humanity from the normal level. Surrounded cities that are being destroyed and experiencing the worst days. Humanitarian corridors must work today. Mariupol and Volnovakha. To save people. Women, children, the elderly. To give food and medicine to those who remain. Our help is already on the way. Everyone who needs help should be able to leave. Those who are willing. Everyone who can defend their city must continue to fight. Must. Because if everyone leaves, then whose city will it be?

We are doing everything - on our part - to make the agreement work. This is one of the main tasks for today. Let's see if we can go further. In the negotiation process.

Let’s pray for our military. Let’s help our civilians.

Let’s work for peace.

Glory to Ukraine!

The fact that there are elected US officials who support a NFZ is unbelievable. How the fuck do we elect such stupid people to run a country?

And it's just as carzy that we won't shut off the Russian supply of oil to the US and Europe and start drilling again. Complete ideologues who have no clue of what's happening outside the beltway. Regular unleaded is over $4 a gallon in PA and it's worse in other states and rising.
