Russia Now Say It Is 'at War' in Ukraine

Friday, March 22, 2024

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov called it a "war," making it appear to be part of a shift to prepare Russians mentally for a conflict which may require more sacrifices from them.

... "We are in a state of war. Yes, it started out as a special military operation, but as soon as this group was formed, when the collective West became a participant in this on the side of Ukraine, it became a war for us," Peskov said. ...

Russia is implying they are at war with the West?

And, coincidentally, there is a mass shooting in Russia today which Ukraine is identifying as a planned Russian provocation to rile up their populace for the war. What are the chances?

Russia has always have been claiming that, I think. It was their go-to excuse for their many Ukrainian failures.

Maybe not the Republican party, though. Speaker Mike "My" Johnson is doing a bang-up job looking out for Russian interests.

More likely a Ukrainian psychopath did it and Ukraine is Terrified of the Blowback from allies, and Payback from the Russians themselves.

This is what losing looks like.

Desperate attacks on civilians, like Hamas did on 10/7 but it's the UkroNazis in this case.

Someone might take that the wrong way.

"More likely, they are "making s**t up" just as they have been doing over and over since Putin's terrorist invasion began. They only manage to fool thr dumbest among us...like EFFETEliar, he believes anything they tell him.

www.axios.com

... Four suspects arrested in the Moscow concert hall attack that killed more than 130 people appeared in court on terrorism charges Sunday, Russian state media reported.

The big picture: An ISIS affiliate claimed it was behind one of Europe's deadliest terrorist attacks, which Russian leader Vladimir Putin sought to tie to Ukraine as he declared Sunday a national day of morning for the Crocus City Hall shooting victims. ...

All things in Putin's kleptocracy are trial tested by his extreme jingoists. Putin, of course is nuts. But it's not "war" until Putin calls it that.

It seems like Putin's been awfully wounded by Ukraine's thumping of his Navy, Air Force, Army & Wagner Mercenary Co. Moscow's Black Sea Fleet is 50% out of commission. The Air Force neutralized by US Patriot missiles The Muscovite army has sacrificed fatalistically as good soldiers from Muscovy are taught to do. And Putin's petro-economy is on the verge of collapse as 15-20% of its refining capacity's been destroyed since New Year. Now, Putin, who rejected US intelligence's emergency alert to Moscow about an immediate ISIS-K threat to Russia, as "blackmail", conflates the travesty as a cause-de-guerre vs Ukraine.

This is all a prelude to declaring a 400,000 recruit mobilization, perhaps in the next month or so. Will it work?
