Ukraine and Russia

It wasn’t him that actually did it, he just took props. Ended up with a TV show or something too. Fuck John Smeaton.

I rewatched most of this earlier. Like him or loathe him…

It’s from a year ago. I only found out about him after being in Moldova a few years back for work.

Oh Shit!

"…Ukraine said that “Putin launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine”.

Yeah it’s official now, fucking kicking off.

Wife and I are making emergency plans in case it spreads up to Estonia. Grim.

It’s especially crazy that the Republican voters who fucking despise socialism or anything with a wiff of communism about it are siding with Russia. The mental gymnastics required to agree with Trump and Putin on this while claiming to love America and Freedom™ is astounding. The US really has some quality brainwashing shit

Agree with the second bit but modern Russia is not really communist or socialist. It’s developed a weird form of oligarchic capitalism and is led by an authoritarian strongman, which when you put it like that is exactly what Republicans are into! Tucker Carlson has been saying some mad shit on Fox about how the US should be leaving the situation alone.

Also Putin talking about ‘demilitarisation and denazification’. Second word is ringing big alarm bells. Could mean he has some real grim shit planned for the people and culture of Ukraine.

I didn’t mean Russia is communist, I mean historically the US has been allergic to Russia because of the cold war years. They equate socialism with communism and Russia

What sub?

Various. Last I saw was trueoffmychest

Interesting to hear that all the UK are doing is what the US did 8 years ago in respect of the three oligarchs.

I feel like this video was made to be aired after troops invade, though as the opening statement makes it sound like it has already happened.

I haven’t watched live news for ages. Like probably over a year.

Getting real morbid fascination by it this morning. It’s really grim but strangely hard to stop watching.

I find it hard to stomach that most countries aren’t doing shit because Ukraine isn’t part of NATO. Like not being part of that special club (that’s barely fit for purpose anyway) means we’re basically just going to make token sanctions

The sanctions haven’t worked have they, that seems to be the brutal truth we’re witnessing today.
