just hearing about the Zelensky zoom meeting with US lawmakers. It sounds like a lot of enthusiasm for supporting. Zelensky asked for a no-fly zone. Not hearing if the lawmakers expressed any support for that.

Im not mad that Ukraine’s suffering isnt woke

The allies are NATO which is a formal alliance.

not likely but definitely nauseating

So, draw your own conclusions about this guy's state of mind

Having some awareness of the crap on these trains. They are scraping the bottom of the barrel. Russia has more human resources to send at Ukraine but the people of Russia are awakening to the idea that they have an Afghanistan on their hands in which there are 40M mujaheddin armed with the most effective western weapons.

Yeah, Pence in this is Erdogan: a skunk who is helpful to us right now.

The reporters in the Ukraine war are definitely becoming part of the story. I saw Clarissa Ward helping some old people out of the rubble while on camera doing her report.

they have way better material

I have been more than a little emotional these last few nights seeing the spirit in the Ukrainians. It reminds me of watching The Battle of Britain with my son when he was very small and explaining to him that his English relatives were fighting for the very existence of Democracy. Imagine you were given this decision in your life. Stay and fight monstrous evil for your country. And evil is happening to them. This won't end without unimaginable suffering. My son is now 18 and intently interested in what is happening. As a parent this is really challenging. I can tell him how I know the US and NATO air forces would clean every clock in Russia if they created a no-fly zone but then we would risk nuclear war.

The ABC news lead anchor tonight reporting on the refugees was very effecting

It will be reacted to though

HO LEE CRAP

Lots of crazy stuff about Putin wanting a land bridge to Kalinigrad. I think what he should consider is giving up Kaliningrad as reparation for his war of aggression. As well as his life.

Imagine if the Riders of Rohan were delivering horses and swords and maybe some of the crazier Rohan warriors to Gondor. Gondor: "Ugh, cool...but"

This guy is a Putinist Ukrainian Quisling. He's lucky to be alive.

I will tell you that he has committed a huge amount of his regime to this attack.

Say what you will about Biden as a public speaker but when I hear Blinken and Sullivan I have the same feeling I had when Ramon Santiago was under a popup, Nikolas Lidstrom was on the blue line in a powerplay, Chris Spielman was lining up a tackle: confident, surehanded, stabilizing.

I keep hearing the "where was Europe when Syria....et.al., " I think that's valid. But, consider... Turkey was right next to Syria and they reacted harshly to Russia. With their own megalomaniac's leader doing that response all in Turkey's self interest but they could see it first hand. They responded by helping Azerbaijan in its war against Russian proxie Armenia.

Sorry for another thread. this was interesting. Has some warnings about over confidence.

Heck of a thread for understanding the heavy use of the VDV (the adrenaline junkies I may have mentioned in other posts)

He's going to use every trick in his book. He won't be able to hide the atrocities this time because he's doing all this to a sympathetic target with charismatic victims.

More to the agenda of the meeting
