Putin Escalates War with the West

 Putin Escalates War with the West

Al Ritter


Just this morning Putin ordered a “partial mobilization” of troops, which means he is calling up reservists, maybe even up to 300,000. This comes after recently declaring he had no plans to do so. This is a very unpopular move with the Russian citizens.

Early this morning the travel bureau in Russia noted and uptick in plane ticket sales out of the country.

This escalation is obviously being caused by Putin’s frustration in his war against Ukraine, it certainly is not going the way he expected. He first used military from Belarus but after heavy troop losses, he must feel the need to call up the reservists.

Putin warned the western world to stop supplying weapons to Ukraine through NATO, and once again used veiled threats about using Nuclear Weapons.

Troop morale is already low on the Russian side and this can only serve to increase those sentiments.

American citizens can certainly commiserate with the Russian citizens, wondering if their leader really knows what he’s doing and bringing us all closer to a multi-nation war.

I'm not saying that either side is right in this whole situation, but one has to remember that Putin was the aggressor.

I hope the world is ready for what Putin will do when the winter comes. He will shut down his pipelines to the EU and freeze them out, but he will claim he's doing it for maintenance.

Just a reminder; Trump never got us into a war, Trump never gave our weapons to enemies, Trump never gave away our strategic oil reserves

Nobody can actually win this war, even IF Putin pulls his troops out they have decimated the entire country, then what? America pays to rebuild it? NOBODY wins!

Exactly Riley, that was the whole point of the article

He's trying to tell his people that the west is trying to threaten the Russian territories, when in actuality it was Putin that invaded Ukraine which wasn't his to begin with

Only Putin would consider property that he invaded as his own. If the world thinks that the referendum vote for annexation was legitimate you are only fooling yourself
