      Putin announces in a televised speech the start of a military operation against Ukraine and declares that Russia aims to demilitarize the neighboring country. Calls on the Ukrainian military to "lay down its arms." ❗️

              People heard explosions in Kiev but didn't see them. Others are saying that the Russians entered Odessa and Kharkiv. Russia says it is only attacking military installations in the country whereas Ukraine is saying that civilians have been killed. In today's social media world, there should be videos and pictures all over the net by now, but there aren't many, at least not yet, so it is hard to verify everything that is being said. Most of the western journalists are getting their information from Ukrainian officials and have already begun to characterise it as a "full scale invasion" by Russia. Semantics have been exploited from the beginning of this debacle and the propaganda machines are about to go into overdrive.
              In the name of the blood and the sun, the dagger and the gun, Christ protect this soldier, a lion and a Macedonian.

                What?! I hope you're joking SoM. It's one thing for Putin to be invading a sovereign country but targeting LGBTQI+ persons is going too far and might just be the catalyst to draw NATO into the conflict. The NATO charge would, no doubt, be led by newly appointed transgender four-star admiral, Rachel Levine. Maybe he can start with the demand that Putin and the Russians respect his pronouns before moving onto more trivial matters such the respect of Ukrainian sovereignty. I'm sure once the Russian army sees the sight of him, they'll shit their pants and promptly lay down their arms.

                  The fact that we're even having such conversations goes to show how much of a farcical clown show modern politics has become.

                    According to Ukrainian officials, Gostomel has been captured by Russian forces. This city is 15 km away from the capital Kiev.
                    Numerous videos of Russian casualties along the Kharkov front. We will not be releasing any of it.

                      Ukraine = Another spectacular fail of US Foreign Policy...they kept pushing Ukraine toward NATO and kept poking the bear, only for the whole thing to turn to shit and they'll probably totally abandon the Ukrainians now.

                      As the US is standing there with limp dick in hand and looking pretty fucking stupid, I'd imagine Beijing is a little bit more emboldened to take Taiwan, probably sooner rather than later.

                      The US media is still pinning hopes on the Ukrainians fighting back against the Russians...that should be interesting, I'm sure some will fight but I think the majority of Ukrainians won't have the stomach for it and I wouldn't be surprised if it's all over after a few days, once the Russians get rid of Zelenskyy.

                      The remaining years of the Biden presidency will be very interesting in terms of geo-politics, particularly in an era of waning US power and global influence.

                      The fish rots from the head down...the leader of the 'free world" can't be a basement dwelling, triple-masked, dithering bed wetter who is offended by mean tweets...go woke...go broke USA.

                            Let's pretend I'm a full retard.

                            Why the SWIFT bullshit?

                              We have an antiquated and faltering financial system already. Locking Russia out of SWIFT will only encourage new alternatives. USA will lose control of that process for to their diminishing relevance. Interesting times.
