And keep those sanctions up. There is a reason Putin has the propaganda regime in high gear. Even he needs the general good will of the populace. Economic pain may help motivate them to ask questions.

I see the press is starting to talk about Russians bailing to Europe.

NATO is a defensive alliance that has been continually downsizing since the 1990s

Libya, Yemen, Somalia, Syria, Afghanistan, Serbia, Yugoslavia

Are you a Nigerian troll?

I don't think he's "parodying" anything, I think he's copying what's proven effective. And I think the Russian military intervention in Ukraine is more justified than all of the US-led military interventions in that part of the world in recent years. The stuff USA is doing is about expanding USA po...

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/mar/04/russia-appears-to-have-no-way-out-as-putin-goes-all-in-ukraine This is why I'm worried we're past the point of no return. The public supports Putin and his officials are in his "submarine" as the writer says. I can't see NATO not getting involved if it ...

I'm not sure if I'm remembering the terms right but the US (I believe) promised some jets and then backtracked because they would be useless, and yeah Germany sent them lots of Soviet-era stuff including rotten missile crates. A number of ex Warsaw pact countries were going to provide them with MIG...

This seems to connect to a recurring issue. Ukrainians also weren't trained on the most modern weapons which is why weapon supplies from neighboring countries (notably Germany) have been less than optimal. But these practical factors don't change the narrative. Which weapons are you referring to? I...

I think that girl is what is know as a "useful idiot". Did you read that part about her complaining that UN people walked out on the Russian ambassador and didn't try to understand his position? I heard that speech (translated), he was parroting Russian propaganda that Ukraine has been co-opted by ...

Zaporizhzhia nuclear power station (the largest in Europe) is on fire; apparently the result of Russian artillery shelling.

Dmytro Kuleba, Ukraine's foreign minister warned that if something similar to Chernobyl happens at Zaporizhzhia "it will be 10 times larger."

I'm waiting for a Ukrainian strike on Russian soil. The Kremlin is in range of Ukrainian Fighter bombers and drones... it's all possible (if not probable). I heard the Ukrainians have retaken Ivankiv which will make taking Kyiv a bit more of a challenge... https://scontent.fhlz3-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t3...
