It's amazing that Biden's fingerprints are all over this current problem, he should be in prison. The US president himself gave us this mess to a large degree. He should be in front of a firing squad. Sorry if I am missing something, but can you provide some fingerprints? Did you post them earlier? Do you ever read a paper? It's not my job to get you to baseline information awareness.

I think it's a fundamental American principal that all peoples have the right to self-determination, although the US as a large entity has not always adhered to that principle. The Ukrainians have just as much right to self-determination as anyone else. There are many more "nations" these days that devolved from empires. Several of them from the remnants of Yugoslavia, which itself was constructed from the remnants of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Who is to tell the Croats or the Slovenes (and others) that they must submit to an entity that they did not wish to be a part of. Serbia tried and failed. Russia (and the Russian Federation) are much larger, but I see no reason that the same principle does not apply. "The Ukrainians" are proving where their loyalties lie in their passionate defence of their liberties. We may poo-poo this ... but it is there for anyone to see. They are not dying in the streets as a lark. Russia has no absolute right to rule a people who do not agree to be ruled. They don't all speak the same language. There is a large Russian speaking population in eastern Ukraine. Or do only the other Ukrainians matter? Reading what is written is helpful. "All peoples" includes those in the east that feel a closer affinity to Mother Russia. |

Graphic. You've been warned.
How long will Russian soldiers stomach this?

Something is seriously fkn up armour in Ukraine.
Some vehicles can be identified by Z or V markings which were noticed on Russian vehicles before they entered Ukraine. Others can't.
Russia has not gained air superiority, is the Ukraine airforce able to target these columns??
Interesting the use of English on that camera system.

This has been a problem in many countries, or parts of countries ... often during or after "trying" times.
The Klan was originally organized as a paramilitary organization to resist Northern-led plundering of the South after the Civil War by Northern industrialists, carpetbaggers and parts of the local Black population. No doubt that the Klan had racist elements. After "Reconstruction" ended, the Klan slowly subsided as the older members died off. The South of today is nothing like it was during and after the War, although a small element remains. Colombia had similar organizations in their long-running civil war ... some supported by the large landowners ... others by the rebels. Marta's kin and friends note that they are still around. Although perhaps less extreme in recent years, people still disappear at regular intervals. This appears to be true in many other countries as well. If you are associated with the wrong people, or are the wrong color or ethnicity, you may disappear or be confined without disappearing. Russia seems to do that somewhat regularly. China too. Should I add Canadian truckers to the list? Perhaps some US cases as well. The EU (or its members) has confined or restricted the freedom of people for political crimes ... including supporting Catalan independence (Spain), refusing to get vaccinated (Austria), others?

I think that Russia is losing the Twitter War ... and maybe the real one too.

Amazing stuff. Village crowd makes Russian tank turn around and leave. I think the Karens would be tearing their hair out and convulsing on the floor.
