Russo-Ukrainian War 2014-23 and Invasion

[Admiral Yi]

My bad.  I misread.

[mongers]

Well those announced sanction seem very weak, especially as Russian troops are now about to cross Ukraine's internationally recognised borders in the East of the country.

It's not February 2014. It's 2022. A different Ukraine."

Right...

Why would you think they are safe?

Because they're in NATO and benefits from a mutual defence pact with the US.

I don't think there is any doubt that if this is allowed to stand, there will be another to follow.

Probably Moldova. Or provocations in the West Balkans.

Bernie will remind people of the "complex history".

Many millions of Russians and Ukrainians died during World War II. The Russian and Ukrainian people do not need a new war, nor does the rest of the world. There is a diplomatic solution to this crisis. It is tragic that Putin seems intent on rejecting it.

What are the US internal politics like on this? Is the GOP lining up to support the nation in this moment of crisis? Are they arguing that Biden is "too weak"? Or are they chafing to kiss and make up with Putin sempai once they call the shots again?

So have they crossed the international border or not?  I've only seen stuff that says they've been ordered to cross.

[Zoupa]

Technically they crossed 8 years ago.

The depressing bit is that his German bit is for Servus TV which has become the main station for Covidiots in Austria.

I wasn't aware of the Nova Russia claims until you guys posted the map. Seems quite likely thats the goal, then. Credit where credit due Putin has managed to confuse the West by initially only using the rebel held turf as staging area. Now all he will get is a few sternly worded letters while he prepares for the proper invasion. Let's hope the Ukrainians put the time to good use and that the US continues the weapon shipments.

Not so sure thats a smart move by Putin. Gets the west started on sanctions, puts the army on full alert,continues to give Ukraine time to prepare.... and all for being slightly closer to Kiev.

[The Brain]

Get started on sanctions? Have they actually done this in any meaningful way?

Excellent language skills though. His Portuguese is a mix of Brazilian and standard.
