Russia never is never meddling in any country said Putin yesterday.
I wonder if Hitler 2.0 thinks sending tanks into another country is meddling?
No, this’ humanitarian’ help is not meddling.
Aha, for sure! Putin the piecemaker!
Just read the comment of the year on Kremlin Today. LMAO
“Hopefully this will result in war with Turkey so Constantinople can be returned to Russia and Turkey cut off from Europe.”
That is hilarious. Byzantium/Constantinople never belonged to Russia. The Moscow regime, however, has had its eyes on it for several centuries. It wants control of the straits to the Med. The drive against Turkey is what inspired the Crimean War. Western European powers could not tolerate Russia controlling the straits.
If this canal Turkey are promising to build comes off, that will bypass the Bosphorus, Russia are screwed. It means NATO could send in aircraft carriers to the Black Sea, and the full US fleet if they wanted to.
Wow…
Constantinople? I thought they always hated the Moskali?
