stand by: this is being made all official like.
Being told this is fairly reliable for info on the situation in Ukraine. let me know if it isn't. https://liveuamap.com/
Biden just begged American gas companies to not use the invasion as an excuse to price hike
I'm sure they'll take him very seriously.
I have seen anti-Russian racism all day at work against my closest coworker who is Russian. This is at a school and is because kids (even or especially teenager kids) do not really understand what is happening and just kind of go with "Russians are evil". She and her family left specifically because they did not like Yeltsin or Putin, and hate this invasion. She is tough as nails, and would usually just laugh off those remarks by dumb kids who don't know anything, but she has been in tears all day, because this is so prevalent among kids that she knows that her own child is facing the same in school from the kids there. I have seen (and sometimes helped) her confiscate knives - and on one occasion a fucking axe - that dumb kids have brought to school to show off or threaten people with. Her facial expression barely changed from a slightly annoyed smile while doing so. An absolute fortress of a human being, and she has been crying all day because her son will have to face this, and the part of her family that remains in Russia will be hit first by the sanctions. I fucking hate this.
Hell will freeze over before somebody catches me supporting the god damned North Atlantic Treat Organization
i was wrong. biden was definitely the accelerationist candidate. but this is like fucking hyper speed.
WHY IS EVERY LIB ANALYZING THE WAR LIKE IT’S BECAUSE OF PUTIN’S TROUBLED CHILDHOOD OR SOMETHING, TRULY WHAT NO DIALECTICAL MATERIALISM DOES TO A MFER :agony-immense:
its nice to be old enough to remember the iraq and afghanistan wars, and know people who died in them, and then see the conservatives and liberals once again joining hands like post 9/11
Chuck Todd just said that Putin is unstable and "maybe he'll use a tactical nuclear weapon just to see what happens."
[Edit: Watching cable tv news makes me feel like I'm an insane person in an institution and I'm watching a tv screen that's not really there.]
Streaming cable news and watching the lizard reporters drool for blood. The press is a gang of cruel freaks. Journalism is not a profession or a trade. It is a cheap catch-all for fuckoffs and misfits—a false doorway to the backside of life, a filthy piss-ridden little hole nailed off by the building inspector, but just deep enough for a wino to curl up from the sidewalk and masturbate like a bonobo in a zoo-cage.
I fully admit that I didn't think Russia would ever actually invade Ukraine, and I was totally and completely wrong. But in my defense, I was wrong because it seemed completely insane, and it is completely insane. I thought maybe they would go into Donbass and push the contact line back to the official borders at the absolute worst, but this goes far beyond that. It's completely illegal. I thought a mainland China attack on Taiwan was far more likely than this.
The western condemnations have become a running joke on Chinese social media. "If denunciations worked, the US would cease to exist" is a common joke
