War in Ukraine

Also, go after all the Russian assets in London, etc.

From what I gathered, Russia prepared for the sanctions by moving accounts home and taking in a lot of foreign currency. They also got China and Central Asia still trading with them.

This has been planned, methodically, for a long time.

Is there a reason "not untrue" can't just be "true"?

It's stupid to think this will be ww3.

I tend to agree. I think China invading Taiwan would be a much, much bigger deal.

 

[volinbham]

Seriously. I was questioning my own memory on that one. When the hell did this happen?

Chicken Kiev got screwed

China will make the next move on the board by taking over Taiwan. The question is will we do anything to help and back Taiwan?

 

[volinbham]

Think about this situation... Russia invades Ukraine... no other boots on the ground to support them, nor air support. Russia gets to ravage and pillage at will.
This is wrong on every front and should not stand.

Treating this very loosely but reports of Russian strikes in Moldova.

Hey man I already used a gif of that in a couple of pages back.

It’s totally surreal to be watching a European war unfold live.

I have other words I might use.

Yes - stepping back and observing it's wild. Also of interest to see the military tactics.

None of this of course justifies the real world human consequences but it is a major historic event to witness

Lot of Nazis to exterminate.

It’s totally surreal to be watching a European war unfold live.

It's surreal in a negative way i suppose.

It’s totally surreal to be watching a European war unfold live.

They’re talking about using the metro system as bomb shelters . Sounds like London 1940.

Meanwhile trump congratulates his Vlad-daddy’s savvy and genius.

Dont remember Trump saying he endorses it or that Putin is a good person. He can be a monster and still get credit for playing a weak American President. Hitler spent a couple of years taking Chamberlain to school until Churchill came along.

Missiles rain down on Kiev and amphibious assault is launched on Odessa after Putin ordered 'special military operation' in Ukraine to 'denazify' it: Biden leads condemnation of 'unprovoked and unjustified' invasion as Ukrainian forces fight back

Vladimir Putin has ordered an invasion of Ukraine, describing it as a 'special military operation' and saying he wants to 'demilitarize', not occupy, the country.

The Russian president told Ukrainian service members to 'lay down their arms and go home' as he declared war on Ukraine in an early morning address to the nation.

Unconfirmed reports said that Russian forces had destroyed or rendered unusable the Ukrainian navy, and taken control of Boryspil Airport in Kiev.

Access to the Black Sea and Azov Sea was cut off.

Unconfirmed reports on Twitter appeared to show a huge seaborne landing by Russian forces in the Black Sea port of Odessa, involving large landing craft and helicopters shortly before 6am local time.

An explosion is seen in the early hours of Thursday in the Ukrainian city of Kharkiv

Kharkiv, with a population of 1.4 million, appeared to be under attack in the early hours of Thursday

NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said Russia's actions were a 'grave breach of international law' and that allies would meet to address the 'renewed aggression'.

The British foreign secretary Liz Truss tweeted her condemnation of the attack just after 4am local time.

'I strongly condemn the appalling, unprovoked attack President Putin has launched on the people of Ukraine,' she said.

'We stand with Ukraine and we will work with our international partners to respond to this terrible act of aggression.'

Putin has recognized two areas in eastern Ukraine as independent and authorized Russian troops to go in on 'peacekeeping' missions. Rebels already hold part of that territory (in red) but Putin has recognized a much-wider region (yellow)

I was supposed to fly into Kiev tomorrow for vacation. This is ****ed.

I’m stuck at the hotel and on my phone but footage on Twitter supposedly showing Russian paratroopers jumping into Kharkiv.
