So I see Ukraine has passed legislation to allow the government to arm the entire citizenry, allowing anyone willing to carry a weapon to protect themselves and defend their country from invaders to do so. Good on them.

This just goes to show, the people are the ones who have to defend themselves and their country, not only the enlisted military, but every willing and capable adult citizen. If ever this country were to face the threat of war, half the population dead, because these overdressed table thumping jackasses would NEVER be willing to arm the population, and even on the extremely off chance that they were, the military here simply don't have what'd be required to do so.

Ent the Mickey Mouse Acting Commissioner of Police (McDonald) said that the police are going after legal firearms holders instead of the bandits with guns because too many guns are in the hand of law abiding citizens? Not so?

So there you go.

lots of "putin is literally hitler and there are no shades of grey in the issue, nope, just hitler being hitler" propaganda, but damn Putin comes off as a serious badass in that video.

[Mmoney607]

The woke world just find Russia have too much white people and not embracing the gender pronouns lifestyle. This is why they want to get rid of putin.

Ps, I think this post will be deleted.

The civilians were already being targeted, and it's only after nearly 400 Ukrainian civilians were killed (many by bombs) that the Ukrainian government chose to arm their people.

Never thought I could feel sorry for a Russian spy-chief?

Man almost sh!tting himself, trying not to offend the Dear Leader. Who want a country run like this?

Russia's ruble worth less than 1 cent after West tightens sanctions

Russia's currency is tumbling after Western nations on Saturday agreed to put crippling sanctions on the country's financial sector in retaliation for its invasion of Ukraine.
The ruble fell about 30% against the dollar Monday — making it worth less than 1 U.S. cent — after the U.S., European Union and United Kingdom announced moves to block some Russian banks from the SWIFT international payment system and to restrict Russia's use of its massive foreign currency reserves.

Excerpt:

The brief makes two main arguments.

First, if Russia decides to invade Ukraine to reassert Russian control and influence, there are at least three possible axes of advance to seize Ukrainian territory: a northern thrust, possibly attempting to outflank Ukrainian defenses around Kiev by approaching through Belarus; a central thrust advancing due west into Ukraine; and a southern thrust advancing across the Perekop isthmus.

Second, if the United States and its European partners fail to deter a Russian invasion, they should support Ukrainian resistance through a combination of diplomatic, military, intelligence, and other means.

The United States and its European partners cannot allow Russia to annex Ukraine. The West’s appeasement of Moscow when it annexed Crimea in 2014 and then orchestrated an insurgency in Eastern Ukraine only emboldened Russian leaders.

In addition, Russian annexation of some or all of Ukraine would increase Russian manpower, industrial capacity, and natural resources to a level that could make it a global threat. The United States and Europe cannot make this mistake again.

Cudda swear i hear from somebody that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction...

A few minutes ago Boris stated that they now getting into a shooting war with Russia.
He could be stalling.

Of course everyone is talking their own book for their own purposes.
Fake or real is a matter of which network you looking at.

I missed that part of history where Ukraine was trying to ethnically cleanse a minority (Kurds) sometimes with chemical weapons (Halabja) or tried to invade or initiate intense wars with neighbouring countries (Iran and Kuwait).

Both Russia and the US have done regime change countless times in the last 70-80 years.

The United States has historically been able to at least appear as if there was a valid excuse for intervention.

We now enter the messy, bloody and somewhat crazy phase of this conflict where things are going to be brutal and scenes become that of broken buildings, rubble and littered by all kinds of war machinery.
This is the beginning of a long drawn-out process where ukrainian resistance groups will be conducting 'hit and run' exercises especially focused on Russian hardware and vulnerable personnel which could encounter real difficulties in restricted spaces littered by rubble etc (close quarter fighting favors insurgents).
The Russian economy certainly cannot financially bear this kind of burden for an extended period of time and if put in that position the pain and suffering will reach home to every Russian.
This kind of conflict always end-up long and drawn-out with no clear winners, only collapse of economy and serious instability and loss of lives.
Putin is more aware than any of us of the grim realities and clearly overcome with a dose of delusional aspirations.

Let's be real putin isn't a stupid guy, might be irrational and a tad extreme but stupid definitely isn't one. One thing is that , this was well calculated and putin has anticipated EVERY possible outcome. All these sanctions only affect the poor and vunerable in Russia, the rich will hold onto their foreign exchange and hoard what they can.

[Dizzy28]

^You have literally typed the exact opposite of the intelligence coming out of the best agencies in the world.

Putin had supposedly miscalculated and is now very anxious and irritable. His firing of his Chief of General Staff was no calculated decision.
