War in Ukraine

It's not accurate to say "4 years and nothing." Russia had been fueling a conflict in the Donbass region of Ukraine, since before Trump even took office. Putin has now dramatically stepped up the levels of Russian aggression, but this is not a new conflict.
Garbage...that is a huge difference and you know it.

Nothing outwardly, but I’d be amping up the production of tanks, jets and missile defense technology to maximum output.

This isn’t WW2. Not even 9/11. A huge portion of our population thinks that the world would be a better place if the US became Venezuela. These clowns aren’t going to work for defense contractors and give up their 300 a week + EBT cards.

Chinese banks Restrict Lending to Russia, dealing blow to Moscow

Beijing draws line on support for Moscow after invasion of Ukraine

Two Chinese state-owned banks will restrict financing for Russian commodity purchases, suggesting there are limits to Beijing's support for Moscow as the Kremlin confronts severe economic sanctions over its attack of Ukraine.

Offshore units of Industrial & Commercial Bank of China have stopped issuing U.S. dollar-denominated letters of credit for purchases of physical Russian commodities ready for export, while the Bank of China has also limited funding, according to Bloomberg News, citing people familiar with the matter.

Yuan-denominated letters of credit are still available for some clients, pending approval from senior executives.

Ok..now it is getting very weird. Xi must be sensing Putin is blowing it.
 
This was in Dublin today . Hopefully we see more of this throughout Europe and the World. They need to feel the international pressure.

Pretty sure Russia has just cut themselves off from the world and are now the most hated nation on earth...I just don't understand how the Ukraine was worth it to them.
 


"....and I told Mr. Putin that any unauthorized access of these system entities using the provided passwords would be grounds for a stern talking to."

To paraphrase my favorite TDSer: "Why is Joe helping Putin target our infrastructure. So weird."
