I've never seen this angle of Tiananmen Square's tankman before. Figured I would share.

No there were like a gazillion warnings from Putin that he was trying to annex Ukraine. He already annexed Crimea in 2014.
He was also very >:( that Ukraine was trying to join NATO. But as long as Ukraine was not in NATO yet he could still attack it.
Yes but they are not playing with daddy Bidens house money that will somehow protect them despite israel doing the most insane shit. Like some trailer trash parent that refuses to discipline their child in any way and the child just getting more and more extreme. They are currently actively trying to drag America into a war with Iran. Israel is literally trying to start WW3 with everything in their might right now. This is a really weird point in time to claim Russia is more likely to start WW3.
Russian imperialism actually requires them to think whether they can steal certain land instead of getting bombed to rubble. Sure they have a big army but they absolutely cannot handle a war with NATO. Invading Ukraine would be nothing like invading NATO. Which is why we did the Cold War thing before.
