    Calling a spade a spade.
    Zelenskiy Accuses Russia of Terrorism. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said Tuesday that Russia carries out “daily terrorist acts” and directly called Russian President Vladimir Putin a “terrorist.” In a virtual address to the UN Security Council, Zelenskiy warned Russia’s “terrorist activity” will spread to eastern Europe and central Asia if it is not stopped. He called for Russia’s expulsion from the UN, which is virtually impossible given Moscow’s veto power. He also urged an international UN tribunal to investigate Russian crimes against Ukraine, including the recent airstrike on a mall in central Ukraine. Russia’s deputy ambassador to the UN denied the attack and said Zelenskiy’s address was a “PR campaign” for more weapons from NATO. Associated Press Axios Reuters

    Perhaps the Russians are merely incompetent?
    UK Says Russia May Have Mistakenly Hit Kremenchuk Mall. The UK’s defense ministry says there is a realistic possibility that Russia intended for missiles that hit a busy shopping mall in the Ukrainian city of Kremenchuk to hit other nearby targets. The ministry said “Russian inaccuracy” in long-range strikes has previously caused civilian casualties and that Russia’s military is likely still willing to “accept a high level of collateral damage.” Al Jazeera UK Ministry of Defense Twitter

    It's so hard to find good Quislings these days.
    Russia Arrests Mayor of Ukrainian City of Kherson. Russian security forces on Tuesday detained Ihor Kolykhayev, the mayor of Ukrainian port city Kherson, according to local officials. Russian-installed officials say he was detained after refusing to cooperate while Kherson local officials say he was abducted. His arrest comes as the Russian-installed military-civilian administration in the Kherson region is reportedly preparing a referendum on joining Russia. Reuters RFE/RL

    Another result of the Pootster's stupid aggression.
    Biden Pledges New US Base in Poland. Polish officials are applauding the U.S. announcement that it will open a new, permanent military base in the country. President Joe Biden made the announcement Tuesday at a NATO summit in Madrid, saying that the US 5th Army will establish a new headquarters in Poland. Poland’s Deputy Foreign Minister reacted to the announcement by tweeting that the move is a ‘clear signal to Moscow’. Associated Press Reuters

    Goodbye, Sofia.
    Bulgaria Expels 70 Russian Diplomats. Bulgaria said Tuesday that it is expelling 70 Russian diplomats over espionage concerns and is limiting Moscow’s diplomatic presence to 48 individuals. The expulsions were both over spying allegations and to downsize Russia’s mission in Bulgaria to the size of Bulgaria’s representation in Moscow. Reuters

    True, but Russia is not only solvent, they have cash reserves to spare. They run their country so well, they don't need Chinese loans and printing presses.

    Now I await for some dumbass comments about GDP. Instagram, cheeseburgers and Chinese loans make for nice high GDP numbers, but the fact is that Russia has a larger manufacturing base than the US.

    I've seen these kind of posts before. My theory is the person that posted them was either completely delusional or a paid employee.

    You have a point .. Nazi's claimed to be make the world a better place.by slaughtering Jews. So what are you saying then ..that you think the world will be made a better place by slaughtering brown children ? Disturbed but logically consistent .. so kudo's for that much.

    Sure but, there are times when the murder of women and children is unavoidable and justified. .. " Man with family has nuclear bomb - seconds counting down - have to take out him and family to prevent detonation" What I am talking about is the indescriminate slaughter of children for no good reason .. both unjustified and avoidable. "Political talking head on the side we don't like - doing interview with media in the Media Center -- sending in hellfire missiles wiping out the Pundit - the Journalists .bystanders .. and people in the next rooms . civilians-children .. and hundreds more similar examples.

    Or taking out civilian Scientist -- in other nations - when taking this guy out would have zero impact to the Iran Nuke program .. a symbolic FU political assassination of a civilian. This is not good precedent mate ... not good of other nations start to do this .. randomly targeting civilians in other nations for this reason or that .. .. is Terrorism straight up..

    Nice theory. On the other hand, my Russian brokerage account is up 7 figures in the last month. I thought the Russian economy was destroyed already? :frustrated:

    That's like a hundred bucks...what's the plan? Buy oil you can't sell? Crypto has more value than a ruble and you can just print an sell that.

    What a waste of time lol.

    I'm proud of my Ukrainian friends fighting against the evil Pooteen and for the freedom of their homeland.

    The more orc leaders are killed, the sooner the war will be over. :)
    Slava Ukraini! Death to RuZZia!

    It doesn't. The United States has a nominal GDP of $20.89 trillion—roughly 14 times the size of Russia's economy. And nominal GDP per capita is $63,413. Even three U.S. states have larger GDPs than Russia: California ($3.1 trillion), Texas ($1.78 trillion) and New York ($1.7 trillion).Feb 22, 2022

    Agree, but it's a question of how to go about it. Kick him in the eggs economically and b-slap him militarily in Ukraine, sure, but invading Russia would be akin to strapping a bomb to yourself to take him out with you.

    The hard business of war.
    Putin wants to terrorize Ukraine into submission. It’s not working.
    Opinion by Max Boot
    [​IMG]
    ". . . From the Western perspective, there is no alternative but to keep sending far more weaponry and ammunition to Ukraine. There will be no peace until either Russia or Ukraine is defeated — and we had better hope it’s not Ukraine. Russia’s strike on the Kremenchuk shopping mall, using precision weapons to kill the innocent, is a reminder of the stakes involved: The Russians stand for barbarism and despotism, while the Ukrainians fight for democracy and self-determination."

    Yea, the dollar to crypto value on the market has increased dramatically. A mute point for rubles....Can't even buy crypto with it.
