Russian invasion of Ukraine

[roubaixtuesday]

You don't really believe that.

In all seriousness, I would say if Russia had succeeded in Ukraine they'd have been after the Baltics for sure. Kaliningrad corridor, then Estonia probably, a bit at a time, "welcomed" by "ethnic Russians" discriminated against by the American stooges in charge. Etc etc. No one big provocation to generate a massive response.

Honestly, anyone who can’t see how malign Putin is, cannot be helped. They simply have no judgement.

He is utterly consumed by power. And beyond help or reason.

He's a fascist kleptocrat. His reasoning seems very sound to me: do whatever it takes to stay in power.

I meant, as in someone you could reason with. Which he conspicuously is not.

Every alliy the US has now realises that US support is NON EXISTANT.

The Republucans are now Putin supporters. Does any Republican have a spine at all?

I have spent most of my life believing that the US was guarantor of my freedom in the UK.

Now I know that guarantee is worth nothing.

I just want to be sick.

Europe is going to have to pull together. There is no viable alternative.

I’m rewatching the world at war documentaries the things that Putin is doing is exactly the same as Hitler, this twat will come for everything given the chance. I’d start giving Ukraine all the money that’s been frozen from the oligarchs etc start striping the Russians of everything that’s the only way they will get rid of him when their lifestyles have gone.
