I’m afraid you might be right. The sad thing is I think the winning feeling for me and many others is that we should roll over and let him take it rather than risk provoking a nuclear WWIII.
Putin said “Anyone who tries to interfere with us, or even more so, to create threats for our country and our people, must know that Russia’s response will be immediate and will lead you to such consequences as you have never before experienced in your history,”...”We are ready for any turn of events.”
Areas across Ukraine were under attack on Thursday morning. President Biden condemned President Vladimir Putin’s actions, saying he would speak to the American people on Thursday.
The natural question then is will he stop at Eastern Ukraine, or even Ukraine in its entirety? Certainly anything beyond that would incite a military response from NATO, and then we could be in for big trouble and untold casualties. Nuclear weapons are a bad deal. Prayers that Putin dies from a brain aneurysm tonight.
We pray you never will deal with anything like this conflicts, sitting there far away in your peace and prosperity and speaking from your rear in say something you know none of is fake. Coward.
I remember when North Korea was threatening to nuke the West Coast and having the stand off with Trump, and most threads about it got deleted. I guess something like this - an event that will change history and fundamentally alter culture and politics in the West, if not an actual Third World War - is too much for some of the snowflake mods, who can see their cozy non-gendered decolonized world about to fall apart.
Yeah or maybe his post was titled “Now he has openly declared - is Putin a far left terrorist?” and read:
“So Putin has announced and started his special military action.
one reason is to suppress neo nazis.
so Putin is Antifa - the darling of the left.
This seems to be a far left terrorist attack.”
Dang arbitrary snowflake mods.
Several years ago I was dining out with a date in a fancy restaurant overlooking the main street in Kyiv. I heard chanting and noise outside so looked out the window and saw a massive parade of men marching along, adorned in military uniforms, all giving Nazi salutes. There is probably no country in the world since July 1945 where real, actual Nazis have such an influence in society, as the Ukraine in 2022. And by 'real Nazis', I don't mean Conservative leaning individuals who are against mass immigration or who have reservations about 'trans women' being allowed to share toilets with young girls, or who refuse to kneel for BLM. I mean actual, real Nazis, who worship Hitler, dream of getting rid of the Jews, and establishing a 'greater Ukraine' that includes much of modern Poland, Slovakia, and parts of Russia. And remember, Russia did suffer at the hands of the Nazis quite a bit in WW2, remember?
But whatever you think Putin is left-wing or right-wing or anit-fa or a fascist, you have to be blind to think the current woke culture in the West is going to last much longer in the face of what is likely going to be an even bigger threat to its existance than the old Soviet Union was. It's going to be a very different world in 10 years time.
Sad day and frustrated by the lack of empathy from fellow Americans. Regardless of your feelings on the specifics of this conflict, war ia h€ll.
Reddit has some fascinating threads up from Ukrainian's documenting events in live-time. Videos of bombings and photos from victims. City is gridlocked right now on highway leading out. Much military movement. Many live streams are up and worth watching.
