Putin Declares ‘Special Military Operation’ in Ukraine, Explosions Reported in Multiple Ukrainian Cities

Russian President Vladimir Putin announced a “special military operation” in Ukraine on Thursday, local time.

Putin said in an emergency televised address that the military operation is intended to protect civilians and to demilitarize Ukraine, and is a response to threats coming from Ukraine.

He said that Russia doesn’t plan to occupy Ukraine and said that the Ukrainian military should “immediately lay down its arms.”

Putin also said that any foreign attempt to interfere with Russia’s action will trigger an immediate reaction from Russia, and will lead to “consequences they have not seen before.”

Shortly after Putin’s address, explosions were reported in Ukraine’s capital, Kyiv, as well as in other cities, including Kharkiv, Mariupol, and Odesa.

Putin’s announcement comes after he announced Monday that Russia recognizes the Luhansk and Donetsk regions in eastern Ukraine as independent, and signed a decree to authorize the Russian Defense Ministry to send troops into the area for “peacekeeping operations.”

President Joe Biden late Wednesday local time issued a statement saying that Putin “has chosen a premeditated war that will bring a catastrophic loss of life and human suffering.”

“The prayers of the entire world are with the people of Ukraine tonight as they suffer an unprovoked and unjustified attack by Russian military forces,” Biden said. “Russia alone is responsible for the death and destruction this attack will bring, and the United States and its Allies and partners will respond in a united and decisive way. The world will hold Russia accountable.”

Biden said he will monitor the situation from the White House in the evening and get regular updates from the national security team.

“Tomorrow, I will meet with my G7 counterparts in the morning and then speak to the American people to announce the further consequences the United States and our Allies and partners will impose on Russia for this needless act of aggression against Ukraine and global peace and security,” Biden said. “We will also coordinate with our NATO Allies to ensure a strong, united response that deters any aggression against the Alliance. Tonight, Jill and I are praying for the brave and proud people of Ukraine.”

Former President Donald Trump called into Fox News, telling host Laura Ingraham, “This should have never happened. It would have never happened under my administration. … It’s a very sad thing for the world, for the country, and it’s certainly very sad for a lot of people who are going to be needlessly killed.”

Following Putin’s declaration, Ukraine Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba said, “Putin has launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Peaceful Ukrainian cities are under strikes. This is a war of aggression.”

“The world can and must stop Putin. The time to act is now.”
Biden brain dead weakness brought this on. I expect a Chinese invasion of Taiwan soon.

Did anyone really think that Putin would respect Biden for even a moment or were you just ok selling that to make him seem like a viable leader rather than the feckless dementia riddled old man the rest of the world sees?

The Biden Democrats say we have to choose. Either we are for them or we are against  them. Okay, then, we are AGAINST. Moreover, I’ll go further and say they pose a far greater threat to our freedom and safety than #Putin. He’s the lesser evil. They are the greater one

Ukraine Soldiers Told Russians to go f**k yourself before Black Sea island death

Quote
Ukrainian soldiers who died defending an island in the Black Sea from an air and sea bombardment reportedly told an officer on board a Russian navy warship to “go **** yourself” when asked to surrender.

There were 13 border guards stationed on Snake Island, a roughly 16-hectare (40-acre) rocky island owned by Ukraine that sits about 186 miles (300km) west of Crimea, when Russian troops bombed the island on Thursday.

All 13 soldiers died after refusing to surrender, Ukrainian officials announced.

Could someone in our current military do that, or would they be kicked out?

I would hope even with our woke and inept military leadership, soldiers giving their lives defending their posts would be allowed such a verbal salvo at the aggressors.  Hopefully we don't have to find out.

Agreed. When you get right down to it, those guys would be (and are in this case on Snake Island) fighting for each other -- certainly not for Milley and his clown circus, which includes Austin. Despicable pieces of shit that Milley and Austin are, those soldiers won't even think about them when the SHTF -- they'll be thinking about each other.

Milley, Austin...  leaving $86-billion in equipment and armament behind in Afghanistan.  Goes without saying that Ukraine could've used it.

I wonder if Milley's made anymore phonecalls to China.  You know... to assure them that the Pentagon isn't in-chaos.

We give-up our 4-star airbase while Russia seems to being having quite a bit of trouble locking-down Kiev's 4-star airbase.  In fact, Russia seems to be having trouble locking-down every objective they're going after. 

Ukrainians don't seem to be wasting too much ammo attacking single-file convoys on open stretches of road.  They create chokepoints on two-lane bridges, so one shell-shot serves two purposes.

Still early yet and battlefield news is sketchy.

Now there's a rumor that Putin has dementia.  Surreal, if true.

I like the rest of that poll as well, even though it's a WaPo and ABC "News" poll. Sample error of +/- 4%, which is pretty bad for a so-called scientific "poll."

Check this from the methodology in the poll document:

Quote
Interviewers called landlines and cellular phone numbers, first requesting to speak with the youngest adult male or female at home.


Now why, pray tell, would they want to talk to the YOUNGEST adult in the home? Bias much, WaPo and ABC?

This next bit is more than illustrative of #SharterJoe. It's probably the result of his incessant trips back to Delaware and to Camp David. Laziest president in history, at least recent history. At least Jimmy Carter worked. Badly, I might add, but he worked.

When asked if Biden “can be trusted in a crisis,” more than half of those surveyed – 52 percent – stated “no,” while 43 percent said “yes.”

Putin Demands Ukrainians Disarm, Remove Leadership
Quote
Russian President Vladimir Putin on Friday called on the Ukrainian military to seize power in their country and overthrow President Volodymyr Zelensky, while the Kremlin said Putin is willing to send a delegation to Belarus to meet with Kyiv officials.

However, in a televised speech, Putin told the Ukrainian military that it would be “easier for us to make a deal with you” than with “this gang of drug addicts and neo-Nazis,” apparently referring to Ukraine’s government.

“I once again appeal to the military personnel of the armed forces of Ukraine: do not allow neo-Nazis and [Ukrainian nationalists] to use your children, wives, and elders as human shields,” he said. “Take power into your own hands, it will be easier for us to reach agreement.”

British Spy Boss: ‘LGBT+ Rights’ Are What ‘Distinguish Us from Putin’
https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2022/02/26/british-spy-boss-lgbt-rights-are-what-distinguish-us-from-putin/
Quote
“LGBT+ rights” are the most important “values and hard won freedoms” distinguishing “us” from Russian President Vladimir Putin, Richard Moore, chief of MI6, the UK’s Secret Intelligence Service, wrote on Friday.

Moore did not specify if his use of “us” was a reference to the United Kingdom, the Anglosphere, or the broader West.

He expressed his sentiments via Twitter, relating his remarks to ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine. He included an acronym from “LGBT+ History Month,” with “LGBT+”  for “Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans +.”

He wrote, “With the tragedy and destruction unfolding so distressingly in Ukraine, we should remember the values and hard won freedoms that distinguish us from Putin, none more than LGBT+ rights. So let’s resume our series of tweets to mark #LGBTHM2022.”

Moore highlighted an “LGBT+ support group” within MI6 to illustrate his emphasis of “LGBT+ rights” as the primary philosophy distinguishing “us from Putin.”

He added, “Introducing P: ‘I had to move for the job when I joined #MI6, so I was relieved to find out there was an LGBT+ network group. Through the group I’ve made some great friends in the office, and it’s reassuring to know it’s there for support if I need it.'”

Moore’s Twitter profile includes “he/him,” a reference to “preferred pronouns” in accordance with transgender ideology’s framing of sex as an arbitrary social construct.

Under Moore’s directorship, the MI6 recently warned the UK’s intelligence personnel of “white privilege,” “hierarchy,” and “gender biases” as part of an effort to develop a “diverse and inclusive culture” across the spy agency.

Weeks ago, the Times reported that MI6 recently began hiring foreigners as part of its “diversity” agenda.

Last year, the intelligence agency chief promised to use the MI6’s resources to spy on other countries to verify their compliance with “climate change” pledges — which he dubbed “green spying” — to address what he labelled a “climate emergency.”

The “climate emergency,” Moore claimed, is “the foremost international foreign policy agenda item for this country and for the planet.”
:thatsright:  A supposedly educated person said this.
