War in Ukraine
War in Ukraine
After Russian President Vladimir Putin announced he had ordered military action in Ukraine early Thursday, he threatened "those who may be tempted to intervene" on Ukraine's behalf.
"Now a few important, very important words for those who may be tempted to intervene in ongoing events from the outside," Putin said. "Whoever tries to interfere with us, and even more so to create threats to our country, to our people, should know that Russia's response will be immediate and will lead you to such consequences as you have never experienced in your history. We are ready for any development of events. All necessary decisions in this regard have been made. I hope that I will be heard."

Re: War in Ukraine
Google Maps caught it first. Apparently nobody told the Russian soldiers to turn their phones off.

Re: War in Ukraine
A Twitter list (like the one I have for HSFB in the sidebar) that Daniel Dale has put together of people who are knowledgeable on the situation. Linking to it rather than embedding it, at least for the time being.

Re: War in Ukraine
Stock futures all down pretty severely. Oil up ~$5.00 and heading towards $100 a barrel. I think Russia produces around 1/3 of the world's oil. Ukraine produces large amounts of natural gas, which is priced regionally, and wheat and barley which are global. Bad news for beer-drinking drivers.
Interestingly, they're saying this won't have any effect on the International Space Station.

Re: War in Ukraine
Oh. And Putin's announcement? It was recorded two days ago. He didn't even change clothes for it.

Never forget how Trump supporters feel about Russia.
Too bad we cannot send them there to fight with their buddies.

Stay loose, and be a little afraid.

Ukraine's UN Representative referring to Putin:
"There is no purgatory for war criminals- they go straight to hell!"

"Trump is what he is, a floundering, inarticulate jumble of gnawing insecurities and not-at-all compensating vanities, which is pathetic."

Re: War in Ukraine
The GOP moron known as JD Vance decided to pick a Twitter fight with Gen. Barry McCaffrey. It was like someone showing up to a gunfight armed with a butter knife.
To which Gen. McCaffrey responded
For the record Gen. McCaffrey has the following record;
McCaffrey has two Distinguished Service Crosses, two Silver Stars and three Purple Hearts.
McCaffrey commanded the 24th infantry in the Persian Gulf War (a.k.a. a win).
McCaffrey nearly lost his arm fighting in Vietnam.

Re: War in Ukraine
Two weeks ago, Canadian Prime Minister cracking down on the "Truckers" brought out screams of tyranny from the right wing circus tent.
Russia shutting down anti war protest this week, silence.
I'm done.

They're too busy complaining that Kamala Harris didn't keep Russia from invading. Seriously.
