The CIA never "trained" Bin Laden and there is no credible evidence supporting that claim anywhere.. even in publicly disclosed, unsealed gov documents regarding the US involvement with the soviet-afghan war..
ISIS wasn't formed until 1999 in Iraq and didn't rise to prominence until 2014 but nice try kid.

Not defending Putin here but he told us for a handful of years that if NATO pushes his borders and continues to send and fund supplies in regards to military equipment and training, he would respond.

This however doesn’t mean Ukraine doesn’t have the right to join a defensive pact. This also doesn’t justify his actions that have been proven to be fact in Ukraine. I’m not too sure what drives a man to bomb train stations.

Russia pledges more missile strikes on Kyiv, says captured Mariupol steel plant
Russia's defence ministry has warned it will intensify attacks on the Ukrainian capital Kyiv in response to strikes on Russian soil, after accusing Ukraine of targeting Russian border towns.
"The number and scale of missile strikes against targets in Kyiv will increase in response to any terrorist attacks or sabotage committed by the Kyiv nationalist regime on Russian territory," the ministry said in a statement.
Russia hit a "military" factory outside Kyiv late yesterday using Kalibr sea-based long-range missiles, it added.
Russia's defence ministry also said it had struck a military target on the edge of Kyiv with cruise missiles overnight and promised more strikes against the Ukrainian capital.
The ministry said its forces had also completely taken control of the Ilyich Steel Plant in the besieged port city of Mariupol. -
A resident of Mariupol, Svetlana Surma, told Ukrainian snipers shot women and children. We have a number of similar horrific testimonies.
— When families fled, a sniper was shooting at children of 3-5 years old, the children were with no arms and legs, then he killed their parents...

Olga Seletskaya tells THREE DAYS AGO her son-in-law and daughter fled from Mariupol from their own house, which had been captured by the Nazi unit "Azov", having equipped firing points on the upper floors.
Her daughter and her seven-month-old child were to be shot, and there were tanks in the yard of her house, which were covered by civilians who were a shield for them.
Olga Seletskaya was tortured by "Azov" in a notorious place - the airport of Mariupol. There "Azov" had a torture chamber, where very few people came out alive.
Olga tells what "Azov" did with the residents of Mariupol.

A Ukrainian military helicopter which conducted an attack a Russian village, on Thursday, was hit with an S-400 long-range missile as it was returning to base, the Russian Defense Ministry has claimed.
The Soviet-designed Mil Mi-8 helicopter was taken down near the town of Gorodnya in Ukraine’s Chernigov Region, the ministry said at a morning press briefing on Friday. The area is located around 30km from the Russian border.
-
The helicopter, according to the ministry, was used in the April 14 attack on the village of Klimovo in Russia’s Bryansk Region on the other side of the border, leaving eight residents injured, including a two-year-old boy and his pregnant mother. Russia said two Ukrainian helicopters fired at least six missiles at the village after approaching at low altitude.
The S-400 is one of the most advanced long-range air defense systems in the world, and is produced by Russian company Almaz Antey. According to the specifications, it can hit targets at a range of up to 400km, depending on the type of missile. China, Turkey, and India have purchased the weapon system despite the US threatening to impose sanctions against those buying advanced Russian arms.

The Chinese military has staged a large-scale naval and aerial patrol mission and held drills near Taiwan amid a visit by US lawmakers to the self-governed island.
Following the arrival of the American delegation to Taipei on Thursday, the Chinese Foreign Ministry demanded that the US “stop official exchanges with Taiwan and avoid going further down the dangerous path.”
This was followed by a show of force on Friday as destroyers, bombers, fighter jets and other equipment from various branches of the Chinese People's Liberation Army were sent on a combat readiness patrol mission in the Taiwan Strait. Drills were also held that simulated a surprise attack at sea, Senior Colonel Shi Yi, spokesperson for the PLA Eastern Theater Command, said.
According to Shi, the move was a response to the “wrong signals” about Taiwan coming from the US. Despite being destined to fail, Washington’s “tricks” were still dangerous, the spokesman stated. “Those who play with fire will get burnt,” he warned.

Zelensky voices concern Russia may use nuclear arms
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has said that Russia could use nuclear weapons out of desperation as its invasion falters, echoing comments by CIA director William Burns in the US.
Asked about the threat, Mr Zelensky said "all of the world" should be worried that Russia "began to speak about... nuclear weapons or some chemical weapons."
Mr Burns said yesterday that Russia's battlefield setbacks raised the risk that Russian President Vladimir Putin could deploy a tactical or low-yield nuclear weapon.
The Kremlin said it had placed Russian nuclear forces on high alert shortly after the assault began 24 February, but the United States says it has not seen any sign of unusual nuclear movements.
Russian military doctrine includes the "escalate to de-escalate," principle of launching a small nuclear weapon to regain the initiative in war. -
Zelensky likes to raise the fear in people there is no evidence at all that Russia even have chemical weapons
-
I can’t see Russia using a nuke but I suppose you can only push someone so far until they hit out if he is forced to use a nuke I hope zelensky is not expecting American to respond

Olga Skabeyeva, one of Putin's top media figures in the tightly controlled state-run Russian media, bizarrely claimed that the war in Ukraine had escalated into a war against Nato following the sinking of the Russian warship
"What it’s escalated into can safely be called World War Three. That’s entirely for sure. Now we are definitely fighting against NATO infrastructure, if not NATO itself. We need to recognise that," she said in the broadcast

Azov Battalion is a regiment of 900-2500 men (depending on where you get your news). That's >0.6% of Ukraine's active military.
Azov Movement is effectively a neonazi political ideology. They are represented by the National Corps political party, which won less than 2% of the vote last election and whose voterbase consists of roughly 10,000 active members.
Zelenskyy is a Jewish man who desends from holocaust survivors and who won roughly 70% of the vote.
Zelenskyy is not a nazi. Azov battalion is not a threat. Azov movement holds little to no political power.
These Russian propaganda pieces (which exxagerate and flat out lie about Azov's influence and prowess in order to justify their invasion), and the dipshits, like Kung Fu, who regurgitate them are giving them a platform that they would not have otherwise had.

British SAS troops have trained Ukrainian forces for the first time since the Russian military offensive began, in February, Ukrainian commanders told The Times on Friday.
Instructors from the UK were previously withdrawn from the country, two months ago, when NATO member states were expecting a Russian assault.
The British have now returned to teach locals how to use NLAWs, UK-supplied shoulder-fired anti-tank missile launchers, the paper explained, citing Captain Yury Mironenko and two other Ukrainian commanders, identified only by their nicknames.
The units which received the training are stationed around the capital, Kiev, the report revealed.

Russia has reportedly sent a formal diplomatic note to the US this week in which it warned that the further arming of Ukraine by Washington and allies could lead to “unpredictable consequences,” claims a report by the Washington Post published on Friday.
The outlet says that it has seen a copy of the document, which was sent as US President Joe Biden approved an $800 million military aid package, representing a major expansion in the scope of weapons provided to Kiev.
As the total amount of US military aid to Ukraine since February 24 has reached over $2.5 billion, the note was reportedly forwarded to the State Department by the Russian Embassy in Washington on Tuesday, April 12 and was titled “On Russia’s concerns in the context of massive supplies of weapons and military equipment to the Kiev regime.”

The Washington Post claims that in the letter Russia deemed “multiple launch rocket systems” as “most sensitive” and accused the US and its NATO allies of violating “rigorous principles” governing the transfer of weapons to conflict zones and of being oblivious to the “threat of high-precision weapons falling into the hands of radical nationalists, extremists and bandit forces in Ukraine.”

The letter reportedly accuses NATO of pressuring Ukraine to abandon negotiations with Russia “in order to continue the bloodshed” and faults Washington for forcing other countries to stop military and technical cooperation with Russia and encouraging nations with Soviet-era weapons to deliver them to Ukraine. -

Ukraine has suffered the “irretrievable losses” of 23,367 troops since Russia launched its military offensive in February, the Ministry of Defense in Moscow stated on Saturday.
The casualty figures were revealed by Defense Ministry spokesman Major General Igor Konashenkov, who said that in the city of Mariupol alone Ukraine has lost more than 4,000 people, including “foreign mercenaries” and “Nazis” associated with the notorious Azov and Aidar regiments.
Konsahenkov said that Russia has obtained documents proving Ukraine's losses, and would soon publish more detailed information from these files.
