Y2K. 2012. Now this.
I'd better go and watch Kirk Cameron Saves Christmas and give my apologies to Jesus while I still have time.
I met Volodymyr Yermolenko, a Ukrainian philosopher and the chief editor of UkraineWorld, an English-language news site, in Kyiv in 2019.
I’d gone there to report on how Ukrainians felt about Donald Trump’s attempts to extort their president, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, and on the American right’s demonization of Ukrainians who’d worked against corruption. Yermolenko spoke, then, of Ukraine as a front line in the global battle between democracy and authoritarianism, with Europe on one side and Vladimir Putin’s Russia on the other — and the role of the United States under Trump confusing and ambiguous.
“It’s about whether democracy, rule of law, are spreading farther to the east,” he said of the conflict over Ukraine’s future. “It’s a long story how it spread to Eastern Europe — first it was Eastern Europe, Central Europe, then there was Ukraine, Georgia, Moldova. We hope it will someday reach Russia.” But it was possible that the ideological tide would go the other way. “There is a new authoritarianism going westward,” said Yermolenko. In this view, the fate of Ukraine’s nascent democracy was a sort of weather vane for the world.
I spoke to Yermolenko again Sunday, as Russian troops besieged his country. “The spirit is very strong,” he said. “There is no fatalism, no willingness to negotiate on Russia’s terms. There is decisiveness.” Ukrainian self-defense, he said, was chiefly a matter of patriotism, of people defending their home and way of life against a cruel foreign power. But he also saw it as part of the great ideological contest we’d discussed 2 1/2 years ago.
“There is a strong feeling that if Ukraine wins — and I’m sure it wins — that can bring the end of both Putin’s and Lukashenko’s regimes,” he said, referring to Alexander Lukashenko, the strongman president of Belarus, who is reportedly preparing to send troops to Ukraine to fight alongside Russia.
His confidence amazed me, but it appears to be widely shared across the country: According to a recent poll, 70% of Ukrainians outside of Russian-occupied territories think they will prevail against Russia. Oleksandra Ustinova, a member of the Ukrainian Parliament who is in Washington working on diplomatic outreach, said that Putin thought he could easily seize control of her country. “Ukrainians have proved that we’re not going to go down, and we do believe that we will win this war,” she said.
I have no idea if she’s right, though obviously I hope she is. Russia appears to have stumbled in the opening days of the invasion, but Ukraine’s army is still enormously overmatched, and Putin has the power to rain hell on the country. The Ukrainians’ stalwart faith in their ability to resist Russia, however, is an important political fact, one that people who predicted a quick Russian victory didn’t fully account for. It’s a faith that has stirred much of the world to unite against Russia, reinvigorating a liberal internationalism that until recently seemed spent and flaccid.
As inspiring as Ukrainian determination has been, it’s perhaps not that surprising. Anyone who’s visited Kyiv in recent years could see how much pride people took in the 2014 revolution that forced Viktor Yanukovych, the Kremlin-backed kleptocratic president, to flee to Russia. In Kyiv’s Independence Square, a monument to the revolution included photos, mounted on giant copper-colored plinths, of demonstrators burning tires to repel a crackdown and getting ready to pelt the riot police with cobblestones. Nearby, a vendor sold toilet paper with Putin’s face on it.

Sides are definitely coming into sharper focus. At this point it's starting to look like there's Russia and everybody else:

Apple Stops Sales in Russia—and Takes a Rare Stand
ON TUESDAY, APPLE said it was pausing all product sales and limiting the functionality of some of its services in Russia in response to Russian president Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine. iPhones and other Apple products are currently not being sold through Apple Stores in Russia, and Apple Pay and other services have been limited.
The company has also removed Russian news apps—including the app for the Kremlin-backed news services Russia Today and Sputnik—from its App Stores in countries outside of Russia and said it has disabled traffic patterns and live incident reports in Apple Maps in Ukraine in order to deter the tracking of Ukrainians’ movements.
https://www.cnn.com/2022/03/01/energy/exxon-russia-sakhalin-project-ex
it/index.html
New York CNN Business —
ExxonMobil pledged Tuesday to leave its last remaining oil-and-gas project in Russia, and it will not invest in new developments in the oil-rich country.
By moving to discontinue its Sakhalin-1 project in Russia, Exxon joins a growing list of energy companies, including BP (BP) and Shell, that have announced their intention to leave Russia. Other Western companies including Apple (AAPL), Ford (F) and General Motors have also distanced themselves from Moscow in recent days.
“ExxonMobil supports the people of Ukraine as they seek to defend their freedom and determine their own future as a nation,” the company said in a statement. “We deplore Russia’s military action that violates the territorial integrity of Ukraine and endangers its people.”
At some point you'd think Putin would do the math. Or maybe he's ok with, "if I can't have it no one can."

Russia can’t access its stockpile of money, and freezing the ruble will also give China second thoughts about its own territorial and economic ambitions
The decision to block Russia’s central bank from international financial markets (effectively freezing the country’s foreign-exchange reserves) is arguably a masterstroke.
Insufficient funds
True, Russia has diversified its reserves away from the dollar in recent years. But judging by the scale of the international response and its immediate impact on the Russian economy, this strategy appears to have been insufficient to maintain access to the financing it needs. Even Switzerland has announced that it will participate in the new sanctions regime by freezing Russian assets.
Unless Russia has considerable reserves held in Chinese renminbi or currencies issued by other countries that still support it, the squeeze on its economy will be unavoidable.
It doesn’t take a deep thinker to appreciate that China must be alarmed and displeased by the audacity of both Russia’s war and the Western reaction to it. If China were to pursue military action against Taiwan, it, too, could expect to lose much of its access to the global financial system.
Many emerging economies will reconsider the textbook approach to building up foreign-exchange reserves to protect against economic crises. The need for such self-insurance was the big lesson from the 1997-98 Asian financial crisis. But now that Russia’s central bank has lost the ability to convert its foreign currencies into rubles, the strategy would appear to come with some new risks.
This is particularly true for countries whose aspirations might run afoul of the Western democratic world’s prevailing norms—as threatening and then invading a smaller neighbor obviously does.

Centuries-old religious divide sharpens between Ukraine and Russia
President Putin’s battle to control the “Russian world” includes a religious front: a centuries-old spiritual and nationalist struggle within the Orthodox church – a part of the consciousness of average churchgoers worldwide.
The Orthodox Church of Ukraine, supported by the diaspora in North America, broke free from Moscow in 2019 – winning official recognition from the seat of the Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople, based in Istanbul.
As a consequence of the autocephaly, Mr. Putin cut off all ties with Constantinople, a move that has split the Orthodox world over who has primacy to grant independence and where allegiances lie politically, says Frank Sysyn, a Toronto-based religious historian at the Canadian Institute of Ukrainian Studies at the University of Alberta.
“Putin’s battle for dominance in Ukraine is also what he would view as a spiritual struggle,” Dr. Sysyn says. “Putin has had to search for an ideology to replace communism for Moscow to be the center of what he calls the ‘Russian world,’ all the people who speak Russian or used to be part of the Russian Empire, and for him they should be part of this fortress that’s going to oppose the West and take over the Orthodox world.
“He argues the reason that Ukraine cannot be separate from Russia is they are one nation, one people, and should have one religion and one faith.”
The Orthodox churches in Ukraine had been under the jurisdiction of the Russian Orthodox Church since 1686. The fight for an autocephalous, or independent, church is a long and divisive history.
The Orthodox independence movement gained force in Ukraine after the fall of the officially atheist Soviet Union and, once again, after Mr. Putin’s annexation of Crimea in 2014. When Ukrainian leader Petro Poroshenko was elected that year, he saw an opportunity to appeal to the Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew I, spiritual leader of the world’s Orthodox Christians, for autocephaly, which was finally granted in 2019.
It was a huge event in the Orthodox world – and a major blow to Mr. Putin, who claims his own post-Soviet Orthodox religious awakening after his family narrowly escaped a fire at their dacha.
The issue has been more complex inside Ukraine than within the North American diaspora. By and large, the Orthodox diaspora in Canada and the U.S. identifies with an independent Ukrainian church, rather than the church that remained loyal to Moscow, and takes some credit for its new independence. When autocephaly was granted, Ukrainian Orthodox bishops from Canada and the U.S. were consulted – bolstering Mr. Putin’s claim that the independence movement was Western-backed.
Canada has one of the largest shares of the Ukrainian diaspora in the world, with 1.3 million people of Ukrainian descent, according to census figures. The U.S. Census Bureau identifies over 1 million people of Ukrainian descent in the U.S. And while the Ukrainian diaspora identifies primarily as Orthodox and Ukrainian Greek Catholic, which had its roots in western Ukraine, Mr. Putin invoked the Orthodox faith as one justification for invasion.
Ukrainian Orthodox churches outside Ukraine were not granted autocephaly; they remain under Constantinople. But most align and identify with the independence movement in Ukraine.
Claiming historical justifications for war in a Feb. 21 speech, Mr. Putin alleged that Kyiv was preparing “the destruction” of the Russian-backed Orthodox church in Ukraine – a Western attempt to betray Ukraine’s true, Russian, identity. But even that Russian-backed church’s leader has since compared the invasion to “the sin of Cain.”
The autocephaly issue is viewed on both sides as a reflection of the bigger struggle for Ukrainian independence that goes well beyond a distinct political or theological moment.
“By pursuing relentlessly the path of independence, this was clearly a way for the church to remove any semblance of subordination to Moscow. It was really, in a certain sense, a firm and f

Humanitarian corridors were negotiated.
This could be useful
Reminds me of the battle for Aleppo. Remember, however, it wasn't the Russians who blocked the humanitarian corridors, but the various terrorist groups (ISIS,HTS etc) who didn't want to lose their human shields.
So let's hope that the far right Ukies stick to the agreement- something they don't have a great history of doing- and allow civilians and surrendering soldiers to exit safely.

The best summary of the military situation is that the Ukrainian army - appx 15 divisions (somewhere between 50,000-75,000 troops) are bottled up Ina cauldron in the SE, unable to get to Kiev. Small groups of unarmed troops will probably be allowed to "melt away", as happened in 2014 cauldrons, but arms and military equipment will have to stay behind.
Azov (far right pro Nazi) Battalion is entrenched in Mariupol. He said/he said, Moscow blames failure of the cease fire on Azov not allowing civilians to leave, that the other side never agreed to cease fire terms . Deputy Mayor claims it is Russian shelling. International Red Cross (IRC) says negotiations continue and hopes an agreement can be reached.
There are reports of regular army firing on Azov Battalion. Not sure how credible, but hearing from multiple sources. If true, my guess is that many in the regular army would like to surrender but Azov Battalion and other far right groups are trying to stiffen the army.
Meanwhile several other cauldrons are being formed: an obvious one around Odessa, another around Kiev, and one (or possibly two) large cauldrons in central Ukraine.
A Ukrainian negotiator who was present during the first round with Russia was assassinated by the Ukrainian secret police.
Zelensky has been threatened more than once with death by the Right Sector if he makes peace with Russia. If he remains in Ukraine he will be at risk; maybe he needs to negotiate from another location?
I still think we will see a replay of tactics in Syria, altho Russians really didn't t have a lot of "boots on the ground" (the Syrian Army filled that role) there: that is, humanitarian corridors, negotiate safe passage for the enemy to a known location where they could be concentrated.

What I should have reminded people is that, in Syria, the humanitarian corridors operated as well as the terrorists who occupied the cities allowed them to operate.
Russians had no interest in shooting civilians or surrendering soldiers there, just like they have no interest in shooting civilians in Ukraine. But those who hold civilians hostage don't want to lose their human shields.
This was very obvious to anyone following the fight for Aleppo: It was a combination of humanitarian corridors (which the terrorists did not allow to function), shelling/bombing, negotiations and street fighting. It took over a month to free Aleppo from the terrorists' grip.
Many Ukrainian cities will probably surrender, but Mariupol is occupied by a bunch of committed pro-Nazi fascists, so this will be a slog.

The current US PSYOP narrative about the Russians begin defeated and on full retreat will not survive this week-end, so it will now shift to “the Putin’s Mordor Gulag is being extended over the suffering Ukraine”. Furthermore, remember all the accusations of genocide against the Serbs in Bosnia, Croatia and Kosovo? This is what will happen to Russia next – a massive wave of accusations of atrocities and genocide. As somebody who had access to classified info during the war against the Serbian nation, I can attest that even if the facts on the ground unambiguously prove the opposite, the western PSYOPs and their presstitutes don’t care one bit and, frankly, neither do those who voluntarily listen to, or read, the constant stream of vomit spewed by the so called “free and democratic press”

Cities provide a very desirable environment for defensive operations, especially if you are willing to have a lot of civilian casualties. In our case, not only are the Ukronazis willing, they have established an entire system to maximize causalities. In several cities the Ukies are holding the locals has human shields (remember that under the Bandera ideology, the eastern Ukrainians are “separs” which only deserve death anyway, so murdering them is a no-brainer).
Ukraine war: 'My city's being shelled, but mum won’t believe me'
"When I heard the first explosions, I ran out of the house to get my dogs from their enclosures outside. People were panicking, abandoning their cars. I was so scared," she says.
The 25-year-old has been speaking regularly to her mother, who lives in Moscow. But in these conversations, and even after sending videos from her heavily bombarded hometown, Oleksandra is unable to convince her mother about the danger she is in.
"I didn't want to scare my parents, but I started telling them directly that civilians and children are dying," she says.
"But even though they worry about me, they still say it probably happens only by accident, that the Russian army would never target civilians. That it's Ukrainians who're killing their own people."
It's common for Ukrainians to have family across the border in Russia. But for some, like Oleksandra, their Russian relatives have a contrasting understanding of the conflict. She believes it's down to the stories they are told by the tightly-controlled Russian media.

Cities provide a very desirable environment for defensive operations, especially if you are willing to have a lot of civilian casualties. In our case, not only are the Ukronazis willing, they have established an entire system to maximize causalities. In several cities the Ukies are holding the locals has human shields (remember that under the Bandera ideology, the eastern Ukrainians are “separs” which only deserve death anyway, so murdering them is a no-brainer).

Seems like Putin's caught between a rock and a hard place. How sad.
Paul Krugman @paulkrugman tweeted:
The speed with which Russia has been cut off from the world economy has been as stunning as the slowness with which Russian forces have advanced in Ukraine. But can Putin offset the de facto blockade by dealing with China? That would be harder than many imagine 1/
For one thing, while China and Russia are technically neighbors, in economic terms they really aren't. Russia's economy is mostly west of the Urals, China's near the coasts. The population centers of gravity are very far apart 2/
As Noah Smith documents, the economies aren't very complementary either 3/
Furthermore, Chinese banks — which do a lot of business with the rest of the world — will be very reluctant to deal with Russia 4/
Why China’s Banks Won’t Come to Russia’s Rescue
On paper, China’s banks and its homegrown payments system could offer Russia respite from crippling Western sanctions. In practice, it isn’t that simple.
And there's one more point, which I haven't seen people making: the huge imbalance between the national economies. Russia is really tiny compared with China 5/
So if you imagine that China and Russia will somehow form a new authoritarian Axis, Russia would be overwhelmingly the junior partner. In fact, Russia is far less powerful relative to China than Mussolini's Italy was relative to Germany 6/
The only thing Russia might have had to offset this imbalance was its reputation for having a highly effective military machine. That reputation has already been lost in the Ukrainian mud 7/
It would be ironic if Putin's attempt to reestablish the Russian empire ends up turning Russia into a Chinese vassal state. But that's exactly what will happen if he relies on China to bail him out now 8/

Perhaps a more realistic strep from the Saker
Quote:
First, since Boris Rozhin did take the time to write up a summary for the day, I will begin by sharing with you a machine translation of his summary of the day:
1. Negotiations between the Russian Federation and Ukraine will be held tomorrow on the territory of Belarus. Moscow has made it clear once again today that if Kiev does not accept the conditions (without any concessions), the consequences for Ukrainian statehood will be severe. The United States says that the second phase of the operation may begin on Monday, including operations to establish control over Odessa and Kiev, as well as the encirclement of the AFU group in the Donbas. In the statements of Zelensky’s gang, there are more and more hysterical notes and accusations against the West that he threw (there has never been such a thing).
2. Humanitarian corridors in Mariupol and Volnovakha are still being disrupted by the Nazis from Azov, despite all agreements. Is anyone surprised? I’m not. So far, it has been possible to free about 300 people from the hands of terrorists who were holed up in Mariupol. Several dozen more were able to escape from Volnovakha. Ukrainian terrorists do not want to get rid of their human shield in any way. Which condemns many people to death when the counter-terrorist operation begins in Mariupol itself and the active cleaning of Volnovakha continues.
3. Misunderstandings continue with Zelensky’s real whereabouts, and Ukrainian and American sources are dispersing the news about Zelensky’s impending evacuation to the West, and the search for spies and traitors is also continuing. Kivu was accused of “high treason” and put on the wanted list. They’ll catch him, probably kill him like Kireev. And there they will already think who he is a “traitor” or a “hero”. Zelensky himself said today that the West wants Ukrainians to be killed (woke up) and that “we are fighting for where the new border will be.” The old border will obviously no longer exist. The borders will change in any case – the question of course is interesting, where they will pass.
4. Anti-war rallies are taking place in the Russian Federation today, with the help of which Zelensky called for stopping the operation in Ukraine. Judging by the number of people gathered, even the arrest of Navalny (who is this, by the way?) and coronavirus restrictions (by the way, where is covid?) they worried citizens more. But let’s see, maybe by the evening the number will grow up. In the meantime, everything is pretty pathetic, which was apparently facilitated by a fierce information sweep, which continued today.
5. The enforcement of the law on fakes on the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation has begun today. The first lucky person got off with a fine of 60,000 rubles. I had the idea to write about the problems in the offensive operation (of course, they also exist), but I’ll wait for now – we need to see how the law works in practice. Well, or after the end of the operation there will be material when military censorship will not be so fierce.
With regard to the operation itself, it is worth noting that even in the West there are discrepancies regarding the plans of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, although the progress on the map gives some idea of what they are striving for. From a subjective point of view, priority No. 1 is the destruction of the AFU group in the Donbas by encircling and defeating this group, which will deprive Ukraine of most of the armed forces and heavy equipment.

Yesterday Putin had a most interesting conversations with members of what look like members of an flight attendant union. We hope to bring the the whole thing subtitled in English later today, but here is the key sentence made by Putin during that conversation:
Translation: If the leadership of Ukraine continues to do what they are doing, it will call into question the future of Ukrainian statehood, and that will be entirely their responsibility

Most of the Russians in Russia who repeat the propaganda are typically older and only have access to that information. Most of those who say they are with Putin do so because they are afraid to speak out. The majority of Russians are against what is going on. And innocent Russians in America and around the world are being targeted. Targeted in different ways like people not wanting to eat in their establishments. They’ve done nothing so unless they are like Signym and kiki that’s very sad.
Have you noticed how Signym and kiki don't protest, that in Russia if you peacefully object to Putins’ invasion you can be put in jail for 15 years? I’d say that’s evidence she is ok with that. And I’d say that demonstrates when others call her vermin, they are correct. And let’s never let her forget when she is criticizing others, she is much much worse.
I see she is posting extremely long posts again. If she keeps it up I’m going to repost her posts in her gardens thread. She doesn’t like when current events are posted in her utopia thread. It’s where she hides after posting bullshit in everyone else’s threads.

Quote:Did Putin Use A Green Screen To Fake An Aeroflot Meeting?
Originally posted by captaincrunch:

Why Would Putin Fake The Aeroflot Video?
There’s good reason to question this video being real. Putin has appeared on TV several times recently. Every time he’s very far away from everyone else. In fact, he’s becoming a bit of a meme for it.
It’s not immediately clear why he sits so far away from everyone else. It might be a ploy to make the people of Russia believe he’s the only one in control. It may be something a lot more practical; Covid-19. Yes, Putin, like his buddy Trump, is a germaphobe.
The long tables keep him away from others and should keep him slightly safer too. Realistically, this is the most likely reason for the long tables. Which does make the Aeroflot video very odd.
Assuming the long tables are about self-preservation, why would Putin be sitting near flight attendants? Flight attendants that were likely flying with hundreds of passengers until very recently.
That would be another massive indication that the video was faked. I’ll also admit that there are several scenes where the video just looks weird. One of the biggest tricks with green screening is getting the lighting perfect. Yet in parts, it does look slightly off – like here for example.
However, it’s also entirely possible we’re just trying to find something that isn’t there. Occam’s Razor suggests the simplest answer is often the most likely. And the simplest answer here is everyone had PCR tests, Putin was really in the room and took the risk to look cool beside a load of female flight attendants.
At the end of the day, he’s up against Volodymyr Zelenskyy who is infinitely cooler and more impressive anyway.

Russia said Monday it will open humanitarian corridors the next day to allow civilians to evacuate form several Ukrainian cities, including the capital Kyiv and the port city of Mariupol, Russian news agencies reported.
"From 10:00 MSK (0700 GMT) on March 8, 2022 the Russian Federation is declaring a 'regime of silence' and is ready to provide humanitarian corridors," said a cell of the Russian defence ministry charged with humanitarian operations in Ukraine.
It listed evacuation routes from Kyiv as well as Mariupol, Kharkiv and Sumy -- all of which have been under heavy Russian attacks in recent days.

However, if Aleppo is any guide, while Russian forces can open humanitarian corridors, forces occupying the city won't necessarily allow residents to use them
Quote:
... in the mean time, there are numerous reports from many towns and cities under Nazi occupation of the local municipal authorities warning that anybody using a humanitarian corridor leading to the “occupier force” will be shot on sight and with no warning. There are many confirmed instances of such fleeing refugees being executed by the Ukronazis. The western presstitutes are blaming it all on Russia. What else is new?
https://thesaker.is/major-military-and-political-developments-and-majo
r-risks-next/
I suppose one way to tell if the civilians are being executed by Ukie-Nazi forces is to look at the victims' wounds. If they're all short range small arms fire, most likely it was an execution. But if they're from mortar, artillery, bombs, or missiles, I suppose that would be from invaders.
In Aleppo, which I followed very closely, much was made (in the western press) of the hundreds of thousands of trapped civilians, without ever addressing the fact that the Russians withheld fire on these corridors but very few residents were able to escape, and when they did it was under fire from ISIS/HTS terrorists.
Interestingly, the residents seem to be able to melt from one neighborhood to another, so even as Syrian troops established control over one neighborhood after another, rather than the civilian hostages being concentrated into a smaller and smaller area, they seemed to slip thru the terrorists' grasp. Let's hope that Ukie civilians are as slippery as the Syrians.

Russia says U.S. has biolabs with plague and anthrax in Ukraine
Russian foreign ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said evidence of the alleged programme had been uncovered by Russia during what it calls its military operation in Ukraine, which its forces invaded on Feb. 24. It involved deadly pathogens including plague and anthrax, she said.
Zakharova said Russia had documents showing that the Ukrainian health ministry had ordered the destruction of samples of plague, cholera, anthrax and other pathogens after Feb. 24.
"We can already conclude that in Ukrainian biological laboratories in direct proximity to the territory of our country, development of components of biological weapons was being carried out," she said.
It was not possible to independently confirm the authenticity of any such documents. (Reuters goes to silly extremes to not call this a hoax by Putin.)
Zakharova said the alleged programme was financed by the Pentagon. "We are not talking here about peaceful uses or scientific goals."
The Biden administration must officially explain to the world "officially, not through talking heads" about the programmes in Ukraine, she said, adding: "We demand details."
Zakharova said it was not clear if the alleged materials had been destroyed and she asked if they had fallen into the hands of extremists or nationalists.

Meanwhile, the west is busy trying NOT to catch the tar baby that is "planes to Ukraine".
The USA approved shipment of plane to Ukraine, but did not ship, but tossed that to Poland.
Poland, dodging that tar baby, said they wouldn't ship directly to Ukraine (apparently they don't want to get in a war with Russia!)
But they would be HAPPY to send their Soviet-era fighters to Ramstein, USA airbase in Germany, for the USA to arrange shipment out.
The Pentagon is busy dodging that tar baby, too.
So while virtue signaling abounds, it's not gonna happen.

Yanno, I hate to have to track down and debunk all of the bullshit being posted. If it's in the western press, just assume it's 90% propaganda.
For example, the latest set of links:
The first one (Phillipines?) is just a restatement of Biden's whipping up America.
"Romania welcomes Ukie refugees". and...? Romania hosts American missile bases, Wht did we expect?
"Brave Ukie 11-year old.." from the Daily Mail. Well, of course. Feature a story about a sympathetic character (who may or may not exist. This might be another "premature babies torn from their incubtors" story.) Never publish anything about real-life Nazis in Ukraine, tho. That's bad for propaganda.
"Bulgarian Forex bureau not accepting roubles, hryvni." So what? A lot of central banks aren't either. It's part of the financial war against Russia. Again, what did you expect? Not news.
"Putin sees himself as.." Mind-reading from a notoriously anti-Russian Latvian pol. Bullshit
"GOP call out Biden" Internal politics by the GOP.
The only interesting one (about Hungary) is either outdated or wrong bc 1) it dates back three days and 2) the most recent statement from Orban (Hungary) is that he will not sanction Russian energy.

A historic night at Versailles. After five hours of heated discussions EU leaders said yes to Ukrainian eurointegration. The process started. Now it is up to us and Ukrainians to accomplish it fast. Heroic Ukrainian nation deserves to know that they are welcome in EU.

Lithuanian President Gitanas Nauseda warned that "Russia's reckless aggression" could lead to a "third world war". "Deterrence is no longer enough and we need forward defence here in place because otherwise it will be too late here, Mr Secretary. Putin will not stop in Ukraine if he will not be stopped," Nauseda said.

Quote:Biden said the US, along with the G7 and European Union, will call for revoking “most favored nation” status for Russia, referred to as permanent normal trade relations in the US. The status means two nations have agreed to trade under the best possible terms, which can include lower tariffs, fewer barriers to trade and high imports, Biden said.
Originally posted by SIGNYM:

The move requires approval from Congress and legislation is expected to be introduced following Biden’s announcement.
“Revoking PNTR (permanent normal trade relations) for Russia is going to make it harder for Russia to do business with the United States and doing it in unison with other nations that make up half of the global economy will be another crushing blow to the Russian economy that’s already suffering very badly from our sanctions,” Biden said.
The President said, “Many issues divide us in Washington, but standing for democracy in Ukraine, pushing Russia’s aggression should not be one of those issues. The free world is coming together to confront Putin.”

Quote:I don't think your guarantees are any more believable than Putin's. He guaranteed 8 days before invading that he was withdrawing, that this was only an exercise, not the real invasion. Don't ask me to believe you. Trump and all the other Trump voters I know say "Believe Me" which is a 90% certainty they will disappoint by breaking a guarantee or not making payments or walking away from a project that they had signed a contract because it's cheaper for them to be sued than to live up to their agreements. Their solemn words, sworn on the Bible, are worthless when there is some new advantage to breaking their word. They get huffy when you call them crooks.

MOSCOW—President Vladimir Putin has ordered the total withdrawal of his military from Ukrainian territory after Hollywood celebrities threatened to sing another version of John Lennon's Imagine.
"This time it will be in Russian," said comedian Will Ferrell. "And we will give no quarter!"
To show Putin they were not bluffing, a slate of medium to high-profile celebrities has already signed on to awkwardly sing the song. Many are returning from the original cringe-worthy production that was released during the early stages of the Coronavirus pandemic, but they will be joined by new annoying celebrities such as Jennifer Aniston and Neil Young.
Putin was quick to throw up his hands in disgust. "No, we will have none of that!" he said in a video message to the UN. "Have you no souls?" Putin then ordered an unconditional retreat to make sure that the celebrities' song was never unleashed upon the world.
As Ukraine sees renewed peace, the celebrities wait on the sidelines—ready to sing together if Putin goes back on his word. They now stand watch like silent guardians over Eastern Europe, waiting for a day they hope never comes.
At publishing time, the celebs had confirmed the song will not be available on Spotify unless Joe Rogan's podcast is pulled.

What the fuck do you think Joe Biden* is doing right now, dildo.
Mega-MAGA Republican North Carolina Rep. Madison Cawthorn told donors over the weekend that “the Ukrainian government is incredibly corrupt and incredibly evil and has been pushing woke ideologies.” Tucker Carlson, meanwhile, has been airing a theory that the U.S. has been working with Ukraine to develop biological weapons.
Some Republican leaders in Congress have tried to keep these kinds of theories from gaining ground in their caucus. Will they continue to be successful? Let me answer that question with a series of other questions: Have they been successful in convincing their voters not to elect people who say things on Facebook about how the Rothschild family may have started a wildfire in California using a space laser? Were they successful in convincing their voters to take the COVID vaccine? Did they convince their voters not to believe in QAnon theories about Democratic pedophilia and cannibalism? Did they convince their voters not to believe that “Venezuela, Cuba, and likely China” rigged the election for Joe Biden?
No, and in fact that last claim was made at Republican National Committee headquarters. Past results do not always predict future performance, but they often do, and in this case they predict that some sizable number of Republican voters, media figures, and elected officials will decide that they support the bombing of Ukraine because liberals don’t want them to. Once that decision is made, the consensus that Zelensky is the hero and Putin is the monster will sink into the same slurry of conspiracy theories that swallows everything else.

Francis Fukuyama thinks Russia is going down to defeat
The invasion has already done huge damage to populists all over the world, who prior to the attack uniformly expressed sympathy for Putin. That includes Matteo Salvini, Jair Bolsonaro, Éric Zemmour, Marine Le Pen, Viktor Orbán, and of course Donald Trump. The politics of the war has exposed their openly authoritarian leanings.
The Biden administration’s decisions not to declare a no-fly zone or help transfer Polish MiGs were both good ones; they've kept their heads during a very emotional time. It is much better to have the Ukrainians defeat the Russians on their own, depriving Moscow of the excuse that NATO attacked them, as well as avoiding all the obvious escalatory possibilities.
The greatest damage is being done by rockets and artillery, which neither MiGs nor a no-fly zone can do much about.
