Former Russian president says Japanese PM should disembowel himself​

Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev has accused Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida of shameful subservience to the United States and suggested he should ritually disembowel himself.
The comment followed a meeting on Friday between Kishida and US President Joe Biden, after which the two leaders said any use of a nuclear weapon by Russia in Ukraine would be “an act of hostility against humanity”.
Medvedev, who was once seen as a Western-leaning reformer but has reinvented himself as a hawk since Russia invaded Ukraine last year, accused Kishida of having “betrayed the memory of hundreds of thousands of Japanese who were burned in the nuclear fire of Hiroshima and Nagasaki” after the US dropped atomic bombs on Japan at the end of World War II.
He said such shame could only be washed away by committing seppuku – a form of suicide by disembowelment, also known as hara-kiri – at a meeting of the Japanese cabinet after Kishida’s return from Washington.

The Russian Federation’s Ongoing Aggression Against Ukraine

For as long as it takes, literally for as long as it takes, the United States will continue to support Ukraine as it defends itself and liberates its territory.

Russian embassy says UK tank delivery will escalate conflict​

The Russian embassy in the United Kingdom has condemned London’s announcement that it will send 12 Challenger 2 tanks to Ukraine.
“Bringing tanks to the conflict zone, far from drawing the hostilities to a close, will only serve to intensify combat operations, generating more casualties, including among the civilian population”, the statement said.
It added the announcement “fully conforms to London’s objectives of prolonging the conflict”.

And what about all the tanks Russia has supplied to the Ukraine over the last 10 months?

They can just withdraw to their own borders and the conflict will end.

Also, why the F did they start the war in the first place?

Ukraine refutes Moscow’s claims it captured Soledar​

The front-line city of Soledar, which Russia says it has captured, is still controlled by Ukrainian troops, local authorities say.
“Soledar is controlled by Ukrainian authorities. Our military controls it,” Governor Pavlo Kyrylenko said on national television.
“Battles continue in and outside of the city,” he said, adding that Soledar and nearby Bakhmut were the “hottest” spots on the front line.
Zelenskyy made similar statements in a video address late on Friday, saying battles in the salt-mining town were continuing.

No sign of large-scale withdrawal of Ukrainian troops from Soledar: AJ correspondent​

Al Jazeera’s Charles Stratford, reporting from the outskirts of the embattled cities of Bakhmut and Soledar, says there is no sign of a large-scale withdrawal of Ukrainian troops despite Russia claiming control of Soledar.
Fighting was most intense on the western outskirts of Soledar, Stratford said. Ukrainian soldiers said “Russian saboteurs” were moving in from the west of the city.
Stratford also reported from Bakhmut’s ravaged city centre, where blasts of exploding artillery and rockets are almost constant.

Should be simple enough, if it is under Russian control then let Putin and his generals do a walk around and invite the media.

NATO is a purely defensive alliance. How can it be a threat to anyone?

Really?? The Lybians would beg to differ when it comes to the NATO-led intervention.

None of the member states were under threat. As the word above self-describes, it was an intervention on a foreign territory.

But of course, it was with an agreement by the UN. So I guess the NATO can defend anyone around the world and invade countries, as long as they have good enough reason, right?

That was a UN sanctioned intervention and also included non Nato countries including some Arab.

Did NATO send kill squads after the Lybian president of the time or did he die at the hand of his own people?

"If you send tanks to stop us from killing civilians we will kill even more civilians than we are now."

"If you send tanks to stop us from killing civilians we will kill even more civilians than we are now."

Same applies to air defense, increasing it will force us to bomb you more.

Yes, they can defend civilians anywhere in the world if the United Nations of planet Earth vote on it first.

Why is that a problem for you?

NATO is a tool of the armed forces for the U.S - don't kid yourself. Should have closed shop ages ago, but it remains a convenient tool.
