Vladimir Putin has said any western troops placed in Ukraine would be “legitimate targets” for Russian strikes, upping the stakes as Kyiv’s allies scramble to come up with a convincing offer of postwar support to Ukraine.

Speaking a day after the French president, Emmanuel Macron, announced still-vague plans for a package of support for Ukraine backed by 26 nations, Putin on Friday said any guarantees that involved boots on the ground would violate Moscow’s longstanding objections to Nato troops in Ukraine.

      No, this is incorrect.

      Not all western countries sell weapons to Israel.

      And you need to read up on russian history (at least 20th century).

      One thing that I learned after moving to Lemmy is how vapid, trope-like and uninspired western “leftists” are in their thinking.

      No wonder we have the rise of Donald Trump and significant gains among far right/pro-corruption forces.

      There are of course other factors too (information age etc.), but I digress.

        And you need to read up on russian history (at least 20th century)

          You clearly have no clue what you are talking if you think russia is anywhere close to the US.

          It would be like if during the invasion of Iraq, the US annexed Basra, banned Islam, sent anyone caught speaking arabic into basement torture camps and sent hundreds of thousand Iraqi children to Texas and made them eat pork chops and read about how great US oligarchs are.

          So you were wrong about all western countries selling weapons to Israel.
