There is something called “Giving him a way out”. It would be prudent to not completely demoralize him to the point where he feels he must use them. I agree we might be past that point but I do understand killing his invasion slowly might be best for the world in general. Though probably not for Ukraine.
I guess I don't see Putin as taking a way out unless he gets a lot of what he wants. Today's speech when he said things like "Russian people especially, are able to distinguish true patriots from bastards and traitors, and we will spit them out.", and "I am certain that this necessary and natural self-cleaning of society will only strengthen our country", did nothing to persuade me otherwise. The more desperate he gets the more non-discriminate the bombing has become, why would that change as things continue? We're worried about demoralizing him? Giving him a way out instead of getting rid of him is not what's best for this world. And this is my problem. I understand countries don't want their own civilians to die but I don't think Ukrainian lives are any less valuable, and based on our actions we clearly think they are. Because this would not be our reaction if Americans were dying.
I would say yes if China indeed is supplying them arms. We are in proxy war with Russia that could be ww3 very soon. The way Putin is talking now, and his concern about Neo Nazi's right wingers being a threat to Russian people, the only way he stops id if he's killed.
Ukraine joins European power grid, ending its dependence on Russia Engineers have linked Ukraine to an electricity grid spanning much of continental Europe, allowing the country to decouple its power system from hostile Russia, officials said Wednesday. Belgium-based ENTSO-E, which represents dozens of transmission system operators in Europe, said the electricity grids of Ukraine and its smaller neighbor Moldova were successfully synchronized with the Continental European Power System on a trial basis. "This is a significant milestone," the group said. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/ukraine-european-power-grid-russia/
I've actually tapered way back on trashing Trump... Wish we could just forget him altogether. But that would be dangerous...
Tucker Carlson doubles down on Ukraine, calling support ‘the largest political flashmob in American history’ ‘Our entire professional class dutifully changed their Twitter avatars from ‘mask up’ to the now mandatory Ukrainian flag’ Fox News host Tucker Carlson criticised the strong support for Ukraine from US civic, business, and political leaders, calling it “the largest political flash mob in American history”. Mr Carlson compared it to the support for public health measures during the pandemic, such as mask mandates. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/...carlson-ukraine-russia-flashmob-b2037054.html
China may not be supporting Russia: "Assertions that China knew about or tacitly supported this war are purely disinformation. The conflict between RU and UKR does no good for China. Had China known about the imminent crisis, we would have tried our best to prevent it," PRC's ambassador to the US They have also praised Ukraine for it's spirit.
Can't say i disagree at all. Like I said. "We might be past this point" I am simply just a spectator.
Tuckums us upset that sane people who backed public health measures are also sympathetic to Ukraine. In other words, he dislikes reason and compassion.
All I seem to be hearing from some out there is effectively, "We love the Ukrainians, we really do. But, if we show force, or substantial help to them, look out. WWIII is upon us. Putin is that crazy." Any truth to that in your opinion?
