Basically same same thing https://www.aa.com.tr/en/europe/russia-says-it-prevented-belarusian-presidents-murder/2212419

 They were asking generals to help them to blockade the capital ,help them to take over government buildings and state controlled media center .The day was chosen 9th May because of the military parade in the capital (WW2 victory)so the presence of the solders would be not noticeable .

Thanks for the translation.

Would you agree that the U.S. should stay out of the Russia/Ukraine conflict?

We and nato are acting just like the police do here in large cities, they can put on a big show of force - look tough but the other side knows that our hearts are not in conflict - we are repelled by the mere idea. Just as when the rioting starts we know virtually nothing will happen to the rioters, Russia is not scared one bit by some nato planes buzzing by.

Russia's defense minister, Sergei Shoigu has said his country's troops would withdraw from positions along the Ukrainian border, easing fears about a feared invasion following a Russian military build-up that rattled the international community.

His comments on Thursday follow a ramping up of tit-for-tat maneuvers between NATO and Moscow.

During military exercises in Crimea, Shoigu ordered the general staff of the armed forces, military chiefs and the airborne troops to start returning to their home bases from the Russian-Ukrainian border and the peninsula it annexed in 2014 starting from Friday.

No.

They're leaving because they're cowards and can't stomach the fight.

Biden should stay out of it.

What would we think if Russia spoke up about a border clash between the U.S. and Canada? We would tell them to stay out of it.

Russia and Ukraine have a long history of animosity that has nothing to do with America.

That was essentially Lindbergh's argument on why the US should stay out of European wars. Although I'm sure it wasn't his intent, in hindsight it was an argument for letting Germany do what they wanted with the Jews. Had Pearl Harbor not happened, America might not ever have sent a soldier, although they did help a lot with Roosevelt's Lend/Lease thing with the English.  Russia defeated the Nazis, the Commonwealth pilots defeated the Luftwaffe in the Battle of Britain. Certainly the Americans were useful, but if they had stayed home, Hitler would still have lost.

I don't think that the US military are cowards. Or stupid. Hence the decision.

Biden is viewed as pathetically weak by our adversaries, i wonder what would happen if Russia invaded ukraine and simultaneously china invaded taiwan and north korea invaded south korea?

My guess is that biden would double down on racism.

Has the White House been in touch, Mikey? They could use someone who's got it all figgered out.

  • There have been suspected directed-energy attacks on US troops, Politico reported.
  • The Defense Department has reportedly been investigating suspected attacks since last year.
  • Troops appeared to be mysteriously falling ill in Syria, and the Pentagon suspects Russia.
  • See more stories on Insider's business page.

The US is investigating what appears to be directed-energy attacks on US troops, and the Pentagon suspects Russia is behind them, Politico reported.

 

Four national-security officials involved in the investigation told Politico that the Department of Defense has been investigating the incidents of suspected attacks since last year.

Two sources told Politico that this included incidents in Syria, where troops developed flu-like symptoms last fall.

Politico also reported that the Defense Department has briefed lawmakers on intelligence about the suspected attacks.

But a Pentagon spokesperson told Politico that the Defense Department wasn't aware of directed-energy attacks against troops in Syria.

Insider has contacted the Department of Defense for comment.

Directed-energy attacks involve directing energy towards a particular target, and could involve methods like lasers. It can involve directing microwave energy towards people, which harms people's health.

US officials in Cuba, China, and Russia have previously become mysteriously sick, and studies have pointed to microwave radiation as the main suspect.

But you would say that, wouldn't you? Because a majority of Americans were wrong, and you and RaiseMySkirts are right?

A fair summary, no?

 

Maybe, maybe not.

I should have used more specificity. I see the role of President and Commander-in-Chief as two distinct entities. A President can be very good at home but less so in war. 

A wartime President has to have the courage to make tough decisions. Roosevelt and Truman were liberal democrats, but to their credit they were very gutsy to have pursued total war tactics. Liberal as can be Woodrow Wilson finally had the guts to send troops to France.

Contemporary Presidents like Carter, Clinton, Obama, Biden and Kennedy would have been far more timid and cautious.

Jimmy, this may come as a surprise to you, but we are all (Americans, Canadians, Irish, Scots, Australians etc) liberal democrats. Our types of democracies have been referred to as liberal democracies for at least 70 years.

Quote

 

Liberal democracy, also referred to as Western democracy, is a political ideology and a form of government in which representative democracy operates under the principles of liberalism. It is characterised by elections between multiple distinct political parties, a separation of powers into different branches of government, the rule of law in everyday life as part of an open society, a market economy with private property, and the equal protection of human rights, civil rights, civil liberties and political freedoms for all people. To define the system in practice, liberal democracies often draw upon a constitution, either codified (such as in the United States)[1] or uncodified (such as in the United Kingdom), to delineate the powers of government and enshrine the social contract. After a period of expansion in the second half of the 20th century, liberal democracy became a prevalent political system in the world.[2]

A liberal democracy may take various constitutional forms as it may be a constitutional monarchy[3] or a republic. It may have a parliamentary system, a presidential system or a semi-presidential system.
