Putin, Things Just Got Real. #ChechensSideKyiv

Chechens join the Ukrainians. What does this do to US Foreign Policy? LOL

Didn't see this "new player" popping up. Hope those Wagner folks like some equal debauchery. Putin will not acknowledge this. #HeadlessHorsemanMuch

Chechen's Back Ukraine

Also have to LOVE how they are [partially] funded. It's all smoke and mirrors.

We are going to have to wait and see if this makes things better or it makes things worse. Is this a famous turning point that most wars have? Could be


then there is this ... FWIW its thier only recourse

Kremlin spokesperson says supply of arms to Kyiv from west has led to Nato becoming more directly involved in the conflict

Kremlin warns west that sending more weapons to Kyiv will lead to ‘significant escalation’

Putin has said when the tanks arrive and begin firing spent uranium ammunition he will consider it a nuclear escalation and respond in kind.

World leaders act like they're playing a game of tiddlywinks, and people are cheering them on.

This war has nothing to do with saving Ukrainian citizens, or any other people on the planet-except the well-protected 1%.

Here's what rising tension about Ukraine does, highlights every military move like it's a computer game or Clancy novel.

Iranian Navy Ships Dock In Brazil Despite US Concerns, again probably nothing and if this happened in years past it would barely register. But now it's full of Russian Special Forces, that will link up with Venuzalens and sweep through gathering allies in Central America and pour into Mexico.

watching those think tank videos doesn't help.

Brasila- Ships from the Iranian Navy have docked in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, to proceed toward the Panama Canal as the US scrambles for solutions, reported by Al-Mayadeen on 28 January.

Following Tehran’s announcement that its navy would deploy ships in the waterway earlier in January, the US is closely monitoring Iran’s activity in the Panama Canal, according to US State Department spokesperson Ned Price, who talked to The Washington Free Beacon on Friday.

Washington is monitoring “Iran’s attempts to have a military presence in the Western Hemisphere,” Price said.

Price refused to discuss any prospective measures the Biden administration would take on this matter or the position of Washington over Iran’s expanding military presence.

Earlier this week, the Brazilian Navy said that the two Iranian warships, one equipped with “anti-ship cruise missiles, torpedoes, and naval guns,” were permitted to dock in Brazil.

In recent years, as part of the nation’s economic program, Iran has been fortifying its connections with Latin American nations, most notably Venezuela.

Given that both Iran and Venezuela have a history of suffering from painful sanctions imposed by the US and its allies, Iranian ships have docked in Venezuela more frequently.

Rear Admiral Shahram Irani, the head of Iran’s navy, said earlier in January that Iranian forces would arrive in the Panama Canal later this year, marking the first time Iran’s armed forces had reached the Pacific.

On 28 January, the commander of the Iranian army fleet announced that several new maritime combat helicopters have been developed and will be revealed soon.

Honestly I'm surprised the Chechens have operated as Putin's loyal shock troops for so long. Putin literally came to power by subjugating the Chechen people. If anyone knows what being oppressed by the Russian military feels like, it's the Chechens.

Do you think it just happened organically? without any contact or prodding by Ukraine, NATO, and/or the CIA.

Lol, classic hypocrisy we've come to expect from Putin. It's OK for Russia to use depleted uranium but not Ukraine, on their own soil.

For the record I don't think either should.

It's not a new development. Dzhokhar Dudayev battalion started in 2014. I'm sure there's more of them now though. Russia invaded them in the 90's

I think both possibilities are equally as plausible.

It’s an autonomous region of Russia that has gone to war with Russia before. The only reason they ended up playing ball is because their leader eventually sided with Putin. The populace likely has groups that still has disdain, remember this was a recent conflict only dating back to the 90’s.

Obviously the west may have exploited that, but it could certainly be organic too. There have been reports of Chechens fighting on both sides of the conflict already.

You'd have to be insane to join Ukraine...

Sadly they are being slaughtered for foreign interests. Foreign interests who don't give a damn about Ukranians and Russians...

Regardless of the question, the answer is always, escalate.





Looks like we are merely only getting started.

Don't see how it makes a difference , Chechens are also fighting for Russia.

Two words: remember Grozny. The Russians will flatten the Chechens in Ukraine and may take revenge in Chechnya too.
Stupid move on the part of those Chechens, whoever they are.

I see that the usual suspects are running interference for the Moscow regime.

"I see that the usual suspects are running interference for the Moscow regime."

And i see that the usual suspects are running interference for the US/UK/WEF/NATO/MIC/Davos/Bilderberger/Money Bag/NWO/WWIII fans Regime.

In regimes the average people are the victims and the "elites" the winners!

Really no need to support them because sane humans don´t support megalomaniac beings suffering from napoleon/god complex who don´t care about the well-being of billions of fellow humans. One simply doesn´t support corrupt criminals, no matter on which alleged side (of the same coin anyway) they are to find !
Cheers

It's really sad that this is your best defense.

a reply to: JinMI

It was sarcasm? Do keep up.

Our World Leaders locked down the ENTIRE PLANET for two years and there are some who still wonder if nukes would be used? Seriously?

This is another escalation and one that, to be honest, is late to the party.

This is not a game and the US, as well as the EU, have been treating it like that for a year. It is almost a full year and the rhetoric needed for the monies asked are starting to falter to the general public so the next phase is needed.

Sucks...

I was unable to find any information on that claim. Would you be so kind as to provide a link? Thanks.

Dzhokhar Dudayev battalion has been in Ukraine for a while. they have fought in the Donetsk region since 2015 and fought in Kyiv, Kharkiv, Izium and Bakhmut, since the invasion.
