Russian invasion of Ukraine

[CTID1977]

Sorry to be nosy but I presume you are Georgian and resident of Tbilisi? Was always on my to do list, Georgia looks stunning from what I've seen online. Presume there is a shrine to Kinky I can make my way to ;-)

Anyhow this is a recent Guardian article which will be of interest to you on the impact of the russian refugees crossing over into Georgia if you haven't seen it. Laughed at this line in the article :-

'I witnessed a Russian customer in my local cafe storm out swearing obscenities when a staff member, who did not speak Russian, politely told her the wifi password was “StandwithUkraine”.'

In this, one of a series of essays on the war in Ukraine from countries in or neighbouring the former Soviet bloc, a Georgian playwright says the government is out of step with the anti-Putin popular mood

sadly not ;) there's a talk of opening in the future of MCFC academy here and the man to be its director. it's all Khvicha at this moment and Kvaramania.

as for the russians here. it's all quiet. i don't know exact numbers but it's around 300k that crossed the border since February. most of them are from IT business. i was really amused by the story from the crossing point when one **** forgot to take down Z sign from his car and was told to fuck off back to russia. the **** didn't understand why he wasn't allowed to cross the border. oh, the **** was running from mobilisation as well ;)

The information on country funding (as a % of GDP) is interesting.

The stark contrast between funding from the likes of the USA/UK compared to the EU countries is embarrassing.

Germany, Italy, and especially France should be utterly ashamed of their contribution to the war.

Here's the link for anyone who's interested

Slava Ukraini.

He is admitting that they would have to walk, having lost so many tanks and personnel carriers!

Couldn't agree more. So much for supporting Ukraine.

Zelenskyy obviously spoke English before all this, but what a difference from those early addresses to this. I guess being in contact daily and using it really helps. Dare I say it but this is almost Pep like.

"West is fuelling war in Ukraine"

No, we're stopping you from eradicating a sovereign nation by giving them the weapons they need to repel and resist you and by god have they been kicking your overinflated egos arses.
