    Something that's intriguing here. There are A LOT of ethnic Ukrainians in Poland. As many as up to 4 million Ukranian civilians are fleeing to Poland as refugees (primarily women, children, and the elderly).

    At the same time, ethnic Ukranian men, even those without military experience, have committed themselves to cross back into Ukraine to fight. And they are. They're going back. This one guy goes in broken English: " I am ready to die and I will not rest until there are no Russian boots left in my homeland."

    So here's the thing. Most of the folks that are fleeing to Poland are going by train, but supposedly a lot of Ukrainian men who put down roots in Poland are FLYING home. This tells me 1) that Putin is going to be tasked with shooting down civilian aircraft on the world stage that he won't be able to hide and 2) he doesn't have as much control over the airports as he's spouting.

    There are also reports that protests continue to crop up in Moscow and other major cities. How many people is Putin going to be able to arrest and jail? Concentration Camps Part II? Assassinate them without a trial? It's not beyond the realm of possibility if he gets desperate enough. And he's getting desperate.

    Putin could wind up dying like Richard the III: "A horse, a horse, my Kingdom for a horse." Or like Mussolini.

    Here's something else. There are embedded reporters from all over the world in Ukraine . . . reporting. Now I know reporters and journalists carry certain protections, but I'm thinking if somebody wanted to fly home they could? I guess from Poland?

    Some offices at my work are located in Kyiv and another one in Odessa. It's crazy a week ago we were working together and now they are fighting for their life. It gives you a different perspective about life and war.

    With all the pain, and insanity, one has to wonder how long before Putin suffers a “heart attack “.

    This war has really thrown a lot of things in true perspective: the World has a choice >>>Autocracy vs Democracy

    Go keep those crooks/strongmen/ POS's like Trump ,the Jan 6th Insurrectionist ,and his buddy Putin in power propped up by their bullhorn Tucker Carlson or choose to live in a free election democracy

    I voted Republican most of my life but frankly supporting Trump a guy who thinks Putin is "a genius" should make most of his supporters and other Republicans ashamed of themselves

    And don't think for a minute the US people won't forget what asshole Trump said come 2024 especially as his hero Putin start attacking civilian areas

    Mick Romney and Butch Cassidy are right >>the Repubs "surround themselves with morons "

    Meanwhile "slow Joe" Biden has done a great job frankly: He shared intelligence with our Allies, let the world know classified info onRussias aggression ahead of invasion and united NATO and most of the world to sanction Russia economically

    The parade of shit candidates the Republicans roll out can't compare to that

    Romney Larry Hogan Liz Cheney just to name a few maybe Chris Christy

    The Republican Party is hijacked and afraid of the Donald loser

    BTW if it wasn't for Russian Banks bailing him out after after he was almost bankrupt he would be nothing

    Get the picture??

    He also shared intel with China that they CC’d Russia on.

    I’m so confused about the uniting NATO thing. Putting Biden and Trump aside is there really a thought that NATO wouldn’t have been aligned on this? It’s made up of mostly weak military powers in Europe that are terrified of Russia and China invading their lands. My dog could’ve been at the helm and NATO would’ve been united on this.

    After 4 years of trashing our allies, we are seeing now more than ever how important it is to have them

    I’ve been wondering this too. The Ukrainian’s have control of Turkish drones that they’ve been hitting Russian anti-aircraft launchers with. Why are they not smoking the front of this convoy?

    There was also an analysis last night for what it’s worth that showed that there is only really two entry ways into Kyiv where the Ukrainian government and heavy resistance sits. I believe both entry points come to the same bottleneck so they might be waiting until they get to that point.

    Or "falls" on a poisin-tipped umbrella, shoots himself in the back of his own head, or "trips" out of a 10 story window. o_O

    No confusion for me JV

    Standing up to Putin is a good thing and yes NATO was more or less divided on economic lines e.g. Oil and Gas trade with Putins Russia. With these sanctions The Ruble is less than a penny now! and no companies want to do business with Russia. Even Krypto currency is getting regulated...who suffers here ? the people first and eventually Putin and the rest of the oligarchs

    The Russian people are not at fault here ..this is a dictators Putins war that he has brought upon them. Plus Putin can only thank himself for creating his worst fear >>30 NATO countries aligned against . One NATO country won't pack a punch but 30 can be bad news for Russia. For example Turkey has disallowed Russian ships from going through their waters

    I hope the Russian generals take Putin out before he flips his lid with so much pressure

    There were reports that one of the reasons why they haven't taken Kviv yet is because the Russian soldiers on the front line don't even want to be there and its causing supply chain issues for them

    Baseless claims of US imperialism while denying Russia has recent history of taking land from other nations does nothing to further any discussion but is certainly true to the colors of the dropout. Why the need to apologize for Putin? Is there something found in his spirit that is seen as noble?
