Putin’s propagandists on Russian state television now say that the “special military operation” has ended and that the real war, World War 3, has started.

They also say that the goal is no longer to “demilitarize Ukraine” but to “demilitarize all of NATO”

1. What's the saying? Eff Around and Find Out?

Isn’t Putin dead yet?

[Tickle]

2. Terrific news nt

[Lovie777]

3. They also talking about how they are going to destroy the USA . ..

Apparently, things ain't going that well in Ukraine.

[johnp3907]

7. They will bury us.

[dchill]

11. Something, something... dig two graves?

13. You have to take your shoe off.

And bang it on the table when you say that.

21. +1,

[leftyladyfrommo]

26. I remember that. And he was such a grotesque little

man.

[WiVoter]

4. And He talks About A "Red Line"

He thinks he holds all the cards, and is leader of the world. He's insane.

5. So, does this eliminate the 15 year sentence for anyone who utters the "war" word?

Or does everyone STILL get a 15 year sentence for saying the "W" word, even though Russian state television can use it at any convenient time?

In about 24 hours, the military service contracts for a sizable portion of the Russian contract soldiers will expire. This means that, in one day, Russian soldiers will be leaving their posts to go home. If the "official" Russian line is that war has now begun, that MAY mean that those contract workers will be required to stay active. Putin MAY have tricked contract workers into a permanent enlistment. It won't make anyone in the Russian military very happy.

8. That makes sense to me.

I knew that Putin was expanding the ages for conscripted soldiers but I didn't make the connection that their current contracts expired.

[NotASurfer]

6. If that were true, they wouldn't be much able to broadcast

They'll be too busy gathering the stones and fashioning the clubs with which to fight WW4, if WW3 happens. And the Russian army might have to eat their newly-expendable broadcasters for lack of other sources of food at that point

9. When one asks the poorest of the poor to crowd source for your military blunders you know

Things aren’t going as planned

[C_U_L8R]

10. It's not a world war.

It's Russia against the world. There is no win for them.

[Igel]

12. Most of the world isn't involved.

China, Indonesia, India, Africa, South America.

Some are just concerned for their own prosperity. Some, having heard how bad the US and the West were since they were non-aligned under Brezhnev, have no great love for Western imperialism and haven't heard it explained how the USSR was an *actual* physical empire engaged in economic imperialism, and now Russia is still an empire and trying to restore the full extent of its imperium.

Some African governments have even contracted with the Wagner Group to help put down insurgencies or dissent, or allowed the Wagner Group to operate to protect Russian assets in Africa.

At least Britain and France shed their empires with some degree of dignity and aplomb once it was clear, towards the end, how things were going (ignoring France's disgraceful actions in North Africa).

14. good luck with that

you had to settle for trying to capture the eastern quarter of ukraine, but i'm sure you can take out NATO.

LOL

Fuck off.

[Talitha]

15. Pooty really needs to get over himself.

[roamer65]

16. Fuck Putler and fuck RuZZia.

[Hugin]

17. They'll need to bring lunch...

Because it is going to take all fucking day.

[BootinUp]

18. ...so please volunteer at your local Russian Army enlistment center. nt

[Willto]

19. HA!

Looks to me like they have their hands full with the one country they are fighting now. I don't think they want to invite 30 more to the show.

[Demovictory9]

20. ugh... war mongers

[Dirty Socialist]

22. Vladimir "Jack Ripper" Putin says what?

Obviously this man is psychotic

[Crunchy Frog]

23. Drama queens.

[sky_masterson]

24. The dogs are pretty brave on the opposite side of the fence

But barks are just noisy when you don't have the teeth to bite.

[DFW]

25. That might have worked in 1939

But with millions of Russians living all over the world now, and telephone and other forms of instant communication, including visiuals, available, even in Russia, that's not going to fly. Russians will have to see buildings in Paris and London burning after having been hit by Russian bombs before they believe that. Moscow would make Hiroshima look like a trash can fire by comparison if that were to happen, so, for now, I'd say we have to count this as some serious hype for Russian domestic consumption--and it's rising up to a level that will make big Russian money VERY nervous, which, in turn, should make Putin's bodyguards even more nervous.

[BootinUp]

27. Yes, the message is meant for the

Russian people. But the effect cannot be enough, they just don’t have the resources and bodies to carry out Pootins evil plan.

[Mad_Machine76]

29. Seems like

They have to keep upping the ante to get people to tune in?

[Johnny2X2X]

28. Tis but a scratch

Ukraine has been beating them down using cast off weapons from NATO countries that were old 20 years ago. There won't be enough of the Russian Army left in a few months.
