@Reptorian @Burstar Hmm, you'd think it would dawn on somebody (hint) that "maybe' it is a bad idea to try to go take somebody else's country away from them "because" somewhere in the history books it "used to" belong to Russia was a bad idea?🤔 Asking for several million Ukrainians.

@SomeAmateur @LaFinlandia As someone who has entered politics later in life, I can attest to the "optics" that, yes, everything you do does "appear" to be for somebody's benefit. I can also tell you that much of what you see is simply us. That's who and what we are-unvarnished. I suspect that with Zelenskyii just about everything is WYSIWYG to use the early computer acronym-what you see is what you get. That's just him.

@eestileib @CptEnder Disagree, if it could be learned, Putin would have some by now.

@YeetPics @LaFinlandia Disagree totally. He's the #1 cause, yes, but he is not the only one. He could not do this without help, and he's had plenty. He's enlisted people from Bulgaria, Turkey, and other countries who specialize in atrocities and torture. He's allowed violent criminals out of prisons to go to war. He has help. They need to pay for their crimes, too. #WarCrimes #PutinWarCriminal #RussiaUkraineWar #RussianInvasion

@tal @don True, but there is also the argument (somewhat theoretical) that, if these people had stayed where they were, they might have changed the course of history. Maybe. Or not. We might also have completely lost them and their contributions to the world. Who's to say? And, no, leaving Russia is not easy right now. She's risking not just her life, but that of family left behind. It's brutal to live in Russia now.

@LaFinlandia As much as I dislike the sight of those black smoke plumes, SLAVI UKRAINE! Maybe next time, hit that railroad and highway, too?

@niktemadur @LaFinlandia As much as I realize that he probably had to do some major negotiating to get this done, I'm with you on this. They need to feel the same pain. I regret it, but it is necessary.

@LaFinlandia Can't just throw a piece of adhesive on that one and call it good.

@Railing5132 @fluxion Not military, but guessing that it had to do with weight in transport. Surely that can be replaced?

@downpunxx @Live_your_lives Now those are reported to be coming primarily from Turkey/Iran. Maybe China.

@downpunxx @LaFinlandia @deft @ThrowawayPermanente I dunno. They are told that if they say no, they will be shot. If they turn back, they will be shot. If they desert, they will be shot. Doesn't sound like a lot of choice there to me.

@LaFinlandia You have got to be kidding me. If he's an abuser, well, nothing lost, but seriously?? That's really cold.

@then_three_more @CanadaPlus Putin's big threat about Sweden's entry was the nuclear one, so we'll see about that. He's been rattling that saber for some time now. Doubt even he has the stomach for that one. He is one cold bird, but that would bounce back horribly.
