Are they "open" to surrender? Because that's really the only way this war will end.....

But...But... I heard it snowed in LA.... so there can't be global warming... \s

Putin to FSB: get gud

Some of them only once

Butter isn't much better in inflationary terms, it's becoming a luxury. I'd rather go without than use margarine.

Then poison the lot

Somehow I don't see this post being majorly upvoted here

The term "Strong Man" doesnt literally describe a virtuous protector; it's a political term for a smooth-talking autocrat who lies and steals his way into power under the banner of populism (another term that doesn't mean what you think it does). Popular tactics include eroding democracy and turning your neighbors and countrymen into hated scapegoats.

That was my reaction when i read the headline.

Original source was Polish afaik.

Pricing controls. There, saved you a click.

And as an added bonus there's always the need for more fodder at the front lines.

Nah, why pay for their upkeep when they could join the Russian front lines?

Did she forget that she lives in Russia? I admire her helping Ukrainians and speaking out against the war, but journalism in Russia is state run, and they expect everyone to parrot the party line. Let's hope her punishment is no more than just a fine.

SpySimulator :) Like the GoatSimulator (which is basically an FSB simulator it seems...)

Haha I forgot all about that

Sure, that’s what i said lol. Keep living in your own little world buddy.

Imagine movies can be remade like, James Bond movies. New actors, new settings, newer cars, but SAME plot :DDD

Don't be silly. The comments are referring to politicians, not ordinary citizens.

The simple answer is: With their military.

Here the much more complex answer:

You can´t compare the reaction of the EU towards the war in Ukraine (a non-ally) with the reaction of the EU if they themselves would have been attacked. There are plans and procedures available that would come into effect in case of war that would cut a lot of the red tape that currently hinders the support of Ukraine. The military would take over, Europe would change into a war economy and start pushing against the invasion forces of Russia. The Baltics would be - most likely in a bad state as any NATO forces stationed there would keep an eye on not being cut off mainland Europe. But Poland alone would have been the first major block for Russian forces. More and more forces would join the battle while all over Europe people would get drafted into arms to join the party. With time all Russian forces would have been neutralized and pushed out of Europe proper.

Even when the US would have left NATO this would have happened. It would have caused more casualties and delayed the date of defeat of Russia but it would not change much until the moment we get to nuclear weapons. But this is a whole different story as conventional armies don´t add anything to those kind of equations.

Because I totally agree, Europe has abandoned its military forces but Russia threw their military out of the window and shot it after it crash landed.

100% right!

so let's not talk and focus on defeating the murderous invaders.

No, but who in the Democrat ranks favors Russia in the same way conservatives do? Just lay them out because I assure you that democrats don't coddle or tolerate much that embarrasses them when it comes to corruption or even looks like it.
