I was thinking about that very phrase just now, crossing the rubicon... who knows.Of course the US couldn't back off - they wanted this - they escalated their attacks after the 22nd. This is definitely Putin's moment of crossing the Rubicon.

Yep... just listening to Putin's address "The entire US is the empire of lies" - I think Putin has had it with the bullshit coming from the West.I was thinking about that very phrase just now, crossing the rubicon... who knows.
UN is useless, there are only a handful of real sovereign countries. All others are under the influence of the Cabal.
Sure its "useless" but i did hear what France, England, Ireland and a couple of other countries represantives stated and they basicly said "its war if russian violates ukraine territory". Not that i did expect anything different from them.
As russia moved into ukraine during this meeting it seems to mean large scale war did just started a few hours back.
Someone said this was from a few days ago and these don't look like battle ready troops to me, seem to happy too.
Going to the root of the problem?For comparison: It took the US 2 weeks to conquer Iraq in 2003.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has claimed that Russia had "no plans to occupy the Ukrainian territories" after announcing that a special operation was launched to defend the Donetsk and Lugansk People's Republics from “Ukrainian aggression.”
The operation’s ultimate goal is “to protect the people who have been subjected for 8 years to genocide by the Kiev regime,” Putin said in an adress on Thursday morning, adding that Moscow would “embark on a demilitarization and denazification of Ukraine, and handing over to justice those who committed numerous atrocities against civilians.”
The Russian president noted, however, that Moscow harbors no far-reaching plans to overtake the whole territory of Ukraine.
“We do not have plans to occupy Ukrainian territories. We are not going to impose anything on anyone by force,” he said.
Ukraine has been accusing Russia of illegally occupying Crimea, which was reabsorbed by Russia following a referendum in March 2015, which was preceded by the US-backed coup that overthrew the elected government in Kiev. Kiev has also repeatedly accused Russia of having a military presence in Donbass, although Moscow consistently denied this claim.
China doesn't support India's action in Kashmir and India doesn't support China's action in Taiwan, but both support Russia. Russia does support both in their respective conflicts.Russia’s allies go against the Western grain
Meanwhile, Cuba, Venezuela and Nicaragua have recognized both the DPR and LPR, while Syria said it was preparing to do so. Neither China nor India joined the West in speaking out against the Russian move at the UN, even after UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres called it “a violation of the territorial integrity and sovereignty of Ukraine.” Beijing has called on all parties involved in the conflict to exercise restraint, emphasizing that diplomacy and dialogue were the preferred path to the resolution of the crisis.
