Ukraine invasion fears grow as Russian troops mass on border – BBC News
Russia has for weeks been massing troops and tanks on the Ukrainian border. Ukraine has said it fears an invasion and along with Poland and Lithuania is calling for more western sanctions against Russia.
A joint statement by the countries accuses Russia of aggression and urges NATO to take action.
Russia denies that it is preparing an invasion and in turn accuses the West of threatening Russia’s security through NATO expansion.

The US said it has hit “dozens” of Iranian military targets in overnight attacks, in response to Iran hitting commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz.
The military said it struck “air-defense systems, coastal radar sites, missile and drone capabilities, and small boats”, using aircraft, ships, and drones – including “one-way attack sea drones for the first time”.
“The Strait of Hormuz is a vital maritime corridor for global trade,” the US military said. “Iran does not control it”.
In response, Iran said it targeted US bases in Jordan, Bahrain, and Kuwait and also radar systems in Oman.

President Donald Trump has said the US is reinstating a naval blockade of Iranian ports and will impose a 20% charge on all cargo shipped through the Strait of Hormuz following days of escalating strikes between the two countries.
He said this would stop “Iran’s ships or customers” from entering or leaving the key oil shipping route, but “all other countries will have fair and open use of the Strait”.
Iran’s foreign minister later said whoever provides safe passage “should be compensated for this service”, but Iran would remain the strait’s “GUARDIAN” – using Trump’s word.
Tehran and Washington clashed over the strait’s control after exchanging strikes in the region overnight and on Monday.
The US said it carried out strikes against military targets in Iran, targeting air defence systems, coastal radars, and missile and drone sites. Iran said it responded by striking US military bases in Kuwait, Jordan and Bahrain, and radars in Oman.

Explosions have been heard near two Iranian port cities, Bandar Abbas and Bushehr, state media has reported.
It comes after another night of strikes between the US and Iran, with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps saying it hit two UAE tankers in the Strait of Hormuz and targeted US facilities in Jordan and Bahrain.
The UAE called the attack “brazen”, adding that an Indian crew member was killed and eight others were injured.
Meanwhile, the US military says it completed strikes on targets aimed at degrading “Iran’s ability to attack commercial shipping” – Iranian state media reports three people were killed.

The US military said it was carrying out a new wave of strikes on targets in Iran. It said the aim of the attacks was to degrade Iran’s ability to attack shipping in the strait of Hormuz. It came ass the US Navy resumed its blockade of Iran’s ports.
Iran said that control of the strait of Hormuz was required for its national security and it will exercise sovereignty over the key shipping lane, whatever the cost.
President Trump announced that he was scrapping a plan he had announced a day earlier, for placing a 20% toll or tariff on all cargos passing through the strait of Hormuz.

citizens. If you do not understand, I will show on my fingers. Europe for America is a competitor with its euro. China for America is a competitor plant with its products and orders. Russia for America is a growing political competitor for it, dictating its opinion on which others think. And what is containment for America? put pripons to complicate the development of competitors. in short bleed divide support

Russia's military exercises are conducted on its territory, the territory of its state. It is Britain, the USA and other countries that have placed in various countries, which are clearly not their own, multiple weapons of mass destruction, including nuclear weapons, some of which have been moved kilometres away from the Russian border.
Let us not confuse things, let alone intentionally misinform, ideologically and perversely deforming gnoseological reality, with onanistic and gregarious fanaticisms, post-modern and neo-liberal collective egoisms, mere absurd and imperialistic vulgarities. This has nothing to do with whether Russia or the US likes it or not, but with the exercise of international law and reason. For example, the USA, in the 80s, from its own Congress, came out to acknowledge in various reports, loudly and publicly, the interference it carried out in coups, political and social destabilisations, and the long list of economic boycotts that led to civil-military dictatorships and huge violations of human rights in most Latin American countries (and the world) even more so, years ago, not many the truth, in Colin Powell's time as US Secretary of Defence, he used the trickery and intentional lie that his intelligence system had information about weapons of mass destruction, which resulted in his unilateral invasion of a sovereign state like Iraq, going beyond international law and all the UN resolutions, believing himself to be the sheriff or neighbourhood bully on the planet, and bringing with him a displacement, a forced human migration, a displacement of the people, and the destruction of the world, a displacement, a forced human migration of millions of people, together with thousands of innocent civilians brutally murdered by the USA, and carrying out this Anglo-Saxon country together with NATO a genocide in a systematic way with this people, by establishing its troops in this place for many years, establishing bases to extend its imperialist geopolitical and geostrategic domination, given the interests of extending its territory and influence, its military bases (the country with the most bases in the world), geo-strategic proximity to Russia, and to stop the passage of key maritime trade routes for the development of China and Russia, a situation guaranteed by international law, which NATO does not respect, thus defending the invention of the State of Israel, and generating these Western countries, predators of resources that are not theirs, the exploitation of legal resources in an illegal way in these places. The same horrible and deplorable situation was realised by all European countries in their turn (let's apply the theory of imperialism, dependency theory, etc.) especially Great Britain, Netherlands, Germany, France, Belgium, Spain, Portugal, Turkey, Russia, Austria, etc. with the colonialism, brutal exercise on the continent and peoples of America, Africa, Middle East, Southeast Asia and Polynesia.
The current conflict between NATO and Russia is due to the fact that after the creation of NATO in 1949, together with the State of Israel, the UN and the Commonwealth (synarchy), given the nuclear power proven that year by the former USSR, its creation (that of NATO) is a justification in terms of politically and militarily slowing down the advance of real socialism to the liberal capitalist countries that triumphed against the fascist and Nazi autarchic state capitalism, However, in 1991 with the fall of the former USSR, and the new scenario with the fragmentation of the former socialist bloc, NATO and its murderous, imperialist and violent ethos or identity commanded by the British synarchy anchored in London, capital of the pirates, where gold is traded and key decisions are taken at world level, has no justification. Moreover, NATO was unwilling to sign any document guaranteeing that it would not approach the Russian borders of this nascent Federation, because they want to divide and divide it up. Modern English pirates have had two competitions, one the French Catholic monarchy, which was swept away by the bourgeoisie and Freemasonry in 1789 in the French bourgeois revolution, and from there by creating the USA in 1776, outsourcing its power, extending it like the Roman motto of expand or die, and then in 1917 they also removed the Romanovs with the stroke of a pen in order to become the only world dictatorship imposing a dictatorial and cynical international rule of law, a dictatorship of transnational finance capital and a world military power to subjugate the world by the hand of NATO. The point is that the Anglo-Saxons and Western Europeans did not comply and have already approached Russia in five waves, while Russia has no missiles in Cuba, Mexico, Canada or Venezuela. American moral double standards.

Why can’t we just be friends? The West must stop overreacting. Both sides must stop radicalizing each other. Russia is not the enemy. If a war happens, it’s because the US asked for it. The West has expanded and invaded more than Russia. USA is not the protagonist (anymore).
Come on. No moral one wants WW3.

This is exactly NATO’s fault for letting Ukraine think that it can join NATO when there is no chance if that ever happening. Russia has repeatedly warned NATO about this and now it is ready to bring the war to west if this red line is crossed. We know that Kremlin is planning to attack Ukraine and it will do so because US won’t back down from this useless adventure. God help us all. It is always the poor who get caught in the middle
