That is pretty genius if you ask me. One of the best ways to stop Putin at this point is from within Russia. If he has 50,000 mothers all protesting this war he will have both the very rich and very poor telling him this is a bad move. Not so sure i believe that the soldiers thought they were just on exercises? How could they not know the difference with that kind of buildup?
Tara Copp @TaraCopp · 53m "Javelins will be in the next tranche" of security assistance to #Ukraine Senior Defense Official says
REAKING: US has indications that Russians are “increasingly frustrated” with lack of progress in Ukraine invasion, especially in the north: senior defense official U.S. has no indications that Russia has taken over any city in Ukraine or achieved air superiority.
Congressmembers Paul Gosar and Marjorie Q Green spoke at white nationalist rally where crowd chanted "Putin! Putin!" Chef Jose Andres has gone to Poland to provide food for Ukrainian refugees. I love Jose Andres (no hetero). Uses food to make positive difference.
Why Russia attacked Ukraine. I keep being shown that Russia doesn't want Ukraine to join NATO. That seems reasonable to me.
Russian tanks are nothing like our tanks. Not even remotely close. But Javelins are a truly awesome weapon. Look them up if you don’t know how they work. They shoot straight up and then come down on top of the tank.
Reasonable enough to start a war over? The truth is, NATO never planned on allowing Ukraine in, and Putler knew that. This was never about NATO>
How is that reasonable? NATO is a defensive organization and Ukraine wants protection for what is now very obvious reasons. They’re a sovereign nation. They can do what they want.
It would be truly tragic if many Russians died because they didn’t know they were actually attacking and thought it was an exercise.
