    Man. Ukrainians must all have massive balls or something. Props tho to the Russian soldiers here who just laughed when the car driver was messing with them. Could have ended very differently:

    Looks like Russia is being cut out of SWIFT. Will be interesting to see how this plays out. I am for this move as it is the harshest response we can make short of direct military engagement

    This will be interesting. My understanding is that Germany and other countries might lose 30% or their heating and power generation with no place currently capable of backfilling that.

    That a big deal in march

    I jsut came to post this. The public outcry is having the desired effect on their leaders - there is an appetite and an expectation that governments take action. Fuck you Putin.

    Also Russia has said such an action would be considered a declaration of war. They don’t seem to have resources to act on it much, but time will tell. And definitely fuck Putin

    Europe is getting in lockstep. Russian airlines barred from airspace, etc. The Putin brand/association is toxic. I'm hoping he over played his hand and fucked this up. As you said, time will tell. It's long overdue to break Russia/Putin tho. The tentacles of influence by the worst of our politicians, spy-craft / FUD, the nefarious trade deals and building dependence - he's been crafty.

    Hmmm How do I say this? In Western Europe they have a history of not resorting to throwing their civilians into the Breech.

    Let’s see if you guys can stomach the pictures of dead civilians?

    Or is that what you want?

    Shut the fuck up. And go fuck yourself.

    Every man in Ukraine serves in the military for two years at age 18.

    But it may all come tumbling down. If so, it'll be a new day here. Here's hoping.

    FUCK PUTIN

    The water wars "have been coming" since the late 90s. They haven't happenend yet. The Melting glaciers and the highly erratic monsoon seasons will be of much greater concern to the 2 Billion people relying on the 5 great Asian rivers than the whims of Emperor XI. Especially since China will not grow anymore or even start to Lose people because of Demographic change. So assuming they won't build palm springs like Golf courses in the takla makan, they won't need more water. Especially since water use will become more efficient in a country transitioing from an NIC to an industrialized Nation.

    But I thought they'd teach that at deep thinker school.

    But yes. Water is a resource. You sure didn't Sound like you meant it though. Im sure it was blatantly obvious in your deep thinking analytic mind which we mere mortals can't follow.
    China has poisoned maybe half to more of it's fresh water. Still is.
    They just held the Olympics in a desert.
    But, we should point fingers. California is going to have a really nasty fire season and will still be thirsty in 22, unless the Pacific brings major storms into the mountains, but, it sure is getting late. Colorado is meh so far. That isn't going to fill Lake Mead.

    Never in U.S. history has the public chosen leadership this malevolent. The moral clarity of their decision is crystalline, particularly knowing how Trump will regard his slim margin as a “mandate” to do his worst. We’ve learned something about America that we didn’t know, or perhaps didn’t believe, and it’ll forever color our individual judgments of who and what we are.

    Aww makes sense, thanks.
    What's going to make this "war" very different to a lot of conflict since 9/11 is the absence of suicide attacks. Both armies hardly care that much.

    A Ukrainian soldier has sacrificed his life by blowing himself up to stop a Russian tank. The soldier was standing on a bridge connecting the mainland of Ukraine and Russia-Occupied Crimea. As he blew himself and the bridge, the tank was thwarted. Ukrainian military posted a statement on its verified Facebook page along with a photo of the brave soldier, Vitaly Skakun Volodymyrovych, who volunteered to sacrifice his life.

    Russian conscripts are surrendering because they don't want this fight.

    But Ukraine?

    Ukrainian civilians are picking up rifles and tying yellow ribbons to their sleeves to fight Russian soldiers.

    In other words, STFU BORIS PROFANE! Ukrainians clearly care!

    I'm not sure what that guy is talking about, but, that there is a good example why you should avoid putting your hard earned savings in crypto.

    Ukraine

    india abstained because their weapons are russian and russia has been a friend to india. they would also hope for a similar abstention if the war against china turns hot. not just votes but material support.

    they had nothing to really gain by voting yes. sucks that’s the way it is with self interest overriding actual good, but there you have it.

    can russia be kicked out of the UN like the pariahs they are now?

    eta: this all applies to pakistan as well

    Jesus, I heard a bombastic driving soundtrack done by a large orchestra behind all that. Inspiring.



    Be ready for many many stories like that. War stories. Gets everybody going.

    Guys, Benny is practically a local in Kyiv so if he says the Ukrainian soldiers are unmotivated I for one believe him!

    How is it possible to stop a tank if you blow yourself up?

    It's a tank. You'll be, like, mush.

    During the battle for Kursk Russian soldiers climbed on to tanks, put mines on the top facing down, and beat them with hammers until they exploded.
