Here's the main difference between Putin and the US.
Here in the US we are in a time where words and the meaning of words is being destroyed. It's a cultural shift. You're definitely in that camp...as it suits you.
Putin simply says what he means and then does it. You act shocked when he does exactly what he said he would do.
He said the red line was for Ukraine to attack Russia itself. Ukraine did so and he responded. You celebrated.
You've been believing that Ukraine would roll into Moscow on captured Russian tanks and the citizens will hang Putin form a lamp post.
Fact is, US propaganda is one thing. Russian actions are another.
US blows up a pipeline co-owned by Europe and Russia. OPEC tells Biden and Blinken to GF themsleves.
All the Left does is rage about Trump.
Really quite sad. Maybe when Xiden is done emptying the SPR someone like VZ will sell us oil cheap, ya think?
"At least 100 strikes were carried out, with many cruise missiles launched from Russian warships in the Black Sea. Putin in a televised announcement said he ordered attacks on military, energy, and communications targets specifically in response to the Crimea bridge attack.
"If attempts to carry out terrorist attacks continue, Russia's response will be severe and at the level of the threats facing it. Nobody should be in any doubt," Putin warned. He threatened that more might follow: "If attempts to commit terrorist acts on our territory continue, the responses from Russia will be harsh and their scale will correspond to the level of threat to Russia," he added, addressing a meeting of his Security Council. "No one should have any doubts."
Russia's defense ministry also affirmed it hit "all the assigned targets" - which in some cases appear to have been civilian infrastructure in the Ukrainian capital. Regional sources are listing that over 15 significant cities were targeted and suffered severe damage, including Kiev, Rovno, Lvov, Ternopol, Ivano-Frankovsk, Khmelnitsky, Zhitomir, Kremenchug, Kropivnitsky, Krivoy-Rog, Odessa, Zaporozhie, Dnieper, Poltava, Kharkov. Additional smaller cities and towns were hit as well." |
