Vladimir Putin will spark a third world war if the Russian president is allowed to declare victory in Ukraine, according to the boss of the country’s biggest private employer.
Yuriy Ryzhenkov, chief executive of Metinvest, which ran the sprawling Azovstal steelworks that became the site of a relentless Russian assault at the start of the 2022 invasion, warned of the consequences of a Kremlin victory.
“I don’t believe that if Ukraine fails, Putin will stop,” he said in an interview ahead of the two year anniversary of the war in Ukraine. “The Baltic states, Poland, Romania, Hungary, Slovakia are the next targets.”
People arguing for russia at this point are russian trolls. Just like it is impossible tonchange a russian trolls mind it is impossible tonchange mine on this. What else does Putin have to do? Send nukes? Probably still a reasonable man in those trolls eyes.
The best way to tell that someone thinks you’re actually right is when they break out the “everybody else is a bot” argument. It’s massively cringe at this point, cause you’re intentionally believing something absurd rather than face valid criticism.
So are you are you a russian troll because i did not at any point mention bots but actual human beings paid by russia?
Oh, of course, that sure is a meaningful difference. My mistake though, please re-read my comment but replace the word bot with troll.
It still is nktnright but if it helps you feel to be in the right (spoiler alert, everybody does) there is not much i can do. Many people, me included, are tired of discussing the same moot points over and over. That russia pays shills to spread their bullshit “arguments” that try to defend this hideous unjustified war is prooven but i guess then you would want me to not believe the “propaganda” from the west but instead the “news” out of russia. Do you see the issue?
I see what you’re saying, but it’s still a lie to claim most people who support Russia online are shills. The number of people who call me a shill, on a wide variety of topics, has shown me that it’s an argument only used by idiots and the intellectually dishonest. Literally every topic where the American position is wrong, people call you a shill for disagreeing with America. To be clear, both America and Russia are bad countries, and the question of which is worse is pretty close. So suggesting that someone is a shill simply because they think that in one particular area, America is worse than Russia, is intellectually dishonest. Like, right now America is clearly worse, because of the genocide. 2 years ago Russia was clearly worse, because of Ukraine. The war certainly isn’t good, but it’s not as bad or as unjustifiable as people say.
You should not believe western corporate media, and even moreso western media about russia, unless it’s independent. I’m sure Russian media is as bad as American media, I just never see it due to not speaking Russian. The opposite of propaganda is not different propaganda.
By the way i do not believe putin is about to start ww3. Thats something you probably assumed.
