The Russian Invasion of the Ukraine.

[angrysoba]

'Venture Capitalist' J D Vance speaking at CPAC says "I’m sick of being told that we have to care more about people 6,000 miles away than we do people like my mom"
There's a crisis on the US border and Ukraine doesn't have anything to do with Ohio.

As someone in the comments points out there are at least 80,000 Ukrainian voters in his state.

Another Quisling.

I was looking to see when Gabbard was supposed to speak and can't find her on the schedule.

Has she been... cancelled? Just a little too obviously pro-Putin?

During my nearly 12 year ownership of this posting account, I have always taken decisions with the account’s best interests at heart. I remain committed to these values. That is why I am today giving trustees of my charitable Swoop Foundation the stewardship and care of Captain Swoop.

And that, my friends, was the last we saw of Captain Swoop.

We're notoriously polite, but feisty in the moment.

I've approved of Trudeau's response so far, and even if I'm not a Liberal per se, I've been content to have him as leader over the past while.

I want to see Russia deflated financially in particular, and I was glad to see Trudeau calling for harsh action with SWIFT.

I think you will appreciate this!

A Russian Chechen military column near Kiev was hit. There are reports that they destroyed 50+ tanks and killed a General. Those Chechens have a reputation for brutality.



Source is the Kiev independent, which has been relatively non-sensational and reliable in all this. Then again, destroying 56 tanks seems a stretch.

There are lots of reports and films of abandoned Russian vehicles, out of fuel.

Regardless, isn't he a far left liberal? I can't see him supporting Russia in this.

"Tank" is often used for any armoured vehicle. 56 is still a high number, but may have been a column of APC's.

I wouldn't put money on it. Boris is postponing things while my lawyers talk to his lawyers. I can't comment on the bulging plain brown envelopes that changed hands or the generous donation to a wallpaper fund.

Sky News is reporting it, but doesn't say how many vehicles. The destroyed vehicles in the video don't look like tanks, and nothing is said about the general.

I do. It's always good to remember who we are and what we stand for.

He's a POS is what he is.

What a ******* scumbag.

They are trying way too hard to equate undocumented people coming into the US from Mexico with Russia carrying out a military takeover of Ukraine. I don't think that is playing well with the majority of voters here. It might ring true with the Dump cult who would like the US to ignore anything outside the country and who have an imaginary enemy: caravans of brown people.

At least around here, (granted I live on the Left Coast), the Russia/Ukraine issue is on people's minds.

One of the top Kremlin propagandists praising the Ukraine invasion, state TV presenter Sergei Brilyov, has acquired a British passport and owns a property in London.
Doesn’t he seem like pretty easy pickings to revoke that passport?

SOme people simply don't want to admit that any stupidity or evil exist on the Left.

All Rob's videos are worth watching.

I find it hard to believe, but hope the Ukrainians really have landed these heavy blows on the Russian military.

 

[abaddon]

Nor, I am sure the did the Russian soldiers.

Maybe I am the only person who has actually had to deal with mangled bodies, the screaming and the smell of burnt flesh. It is all horrible.

Sure. Ever had the smell of blood? I have. It is distinct. One can smell it. Once smelt, one will never forget it. I know I wont. That smell is not easily forgotten.

I'm not sure how one judges if the Kiev Independent has been relatively reliable, maybe you have some confirmed examples?

But as to the feasibility of the task, there are a lot of reports of anti-tank weapons being supplied to Ukraine.

 

[Andy_Ross]

A column on a road with unsecured flanks is easy to ambush. Ukraine is ideal for it at this time of year.
The Russians seem to be making basic mistakes and have learned nothing from history.

Are there any grassy knolls in Russia? Asking for a friend.

No, but I'm sure there are some dark nights and long knives in that part of the world.
