Soon all those towns in western Ukraine will have more than their bare hands and Molotov cocktails to fight with. The local militia forces will be not only well armed, they will be constantly trained too. They will have guns, anti tank weapons and stinger AA missiles and other arms. All those volunteers will switch from making what they can for the Ukraine army, to distributing arms and supplies flowing in from the west to the rest of the country. Wounded will end up in field hospitals in Poland before moving on, it is fortunate that covid hospitalizations are dropping. Getting vaccinated supports the Ukrainians by reducing the burden on the hospitals of western Europe, they will be needed. I think the EU needs to emphasize this point publicly to drive up the vaccination rate and free up the hospitals for war casualties.
Calling Angela Merkel,she is one person from the west who has a good rapport w/ Putin,`maybe she can snap him out of his covid brain fog,instill some sense into him of the blunder he has unleashed,tell him to retire,step down whatever,emphasize that he reached for a unachievable goal,the Ukranian's will NEVER acquiese to an authoritarian Russian proxy gov,stop now before the damage to Ukraine is irreparable,name a successor to reverse the invasion and go to your dacha for rest and recouperation,say you've been diagnosed w/alzheimers,schitzophrania,whatever to save face.

Putin will bring a dog, he knows she is scared of them and he's done it before. Putin is an asshole and you can no more negotiate with him than with Hitler. Negotiations require good will on both sides and there is none with him.
Let the fucker twist in the wind for a spell while arming the Ukrainians to the fucking teeth.

Well @hanimmal you won't have to be too concerned about Russia fucking with America through the media and internet, Uncle Sam has got the ball now! Social media companies are not just towing the line, but are jumping on the bandwagon. Foxnews is in knots and the Trumper supporting wing of the republicans is reeling, even Donald is throwing Vlad under the bus. I can't emphasize the importance of white Christians with guns and guts fighting for freedom enough, citizens with guns defending their country. You just know that the republican base will just eat this shit right up and there will be no political problems for funding etc. This war will be kind to Joe and Hell on the Russians, he's got Vlad by the balls and many are braying for his blood! The intelligence community is drooling over the possibilities and funding, they want retribution. There wouldn't even be any problems taking in refugees, the usual voices will be silent on these people.

Is this going too far? I'm not sure if this is the right thing for the met to be doing. But switch it from Putin to her showing support for white supremacy and I'd be in full agreement. So I don't know. Anybody want to comment? She says she doesn't support the war but still supports Putin. In the US, we do the same thing with our presidents (Obama's drone strikes didn't change most people's support for him).

Soprano Anna Netrebko withdrew from her future engagements at the Metropolitan Opera rather than repudiate her support for Russian President Vladimir Putin, costing the company one of its top singers and best box-office draws.
“It is a great artistic loss for the Met and for opera,” Met General Manager Peter Gelb said in a statement Thursday. “Anna is one of the greatest singers in Met history, but with Putin killing innocent victims in Ukraine, there was no way forward.”
Gelb had said Sunday that the Met would not engage artists who support Putin.

Condoning the actions of a genocidal madman is the same as condoning the actions of white supremacists, imo.
edited to slightly improve previous clumsy wording.

looks like there is some deep thinking that need to be done with the artist....js. Don't see how you can like ol pooty but not like the war, since it was ol pooty that started it in the first place.....Is this going too far? I'm not sure if this is the right thing for the met to be doing. But switch it from Putin to her showing support for white supremacy and I'd be in full agreement. So I don't know.

i, of all people, probably have very little room to talk....but don't sink to the level of your opponent...the reason he is your opponent is he is willing to do the things you'd like to do to him, but won't...because they're wrong.
i do know the feeling...i do jump up and down and vent vile bile...and that's how i can not do the things i would like to do, to putin, to trump, to most republican politicians, and a few democrats...to white supremacists...the list goes on, and i try like hell to not sink to their level

I see military desperation all over the place, obviously the army is not behind this invasion and it almost looks like sabotage in some cases. The planning an execution have been abysmal, it will encourage NATO and the Ukrainians, weakness means NATO will give more arms right away, because Russia is no threat to NATO, we would wipe them out in conventional war, no problem. It has also emboldened many former soviet republics Vlad wants to keep under this thumb, courage is very contagious.he's making it worse by the day.......now he's starting info bans (basically saying you can't tell what the army is doing, and if you do you have to show them in a good light)
