The intelligence community doing a victory lap during all of this is disgusting and so are the people that cheerlead for them



This restores their reputation after Iraq. It is what it is.

The whole reason the majority of the world is currently united against Putin is because of the US intelligence community. If they didn't do such great work, this war plays out much differently.

@Neo The Resurrected ONE been tripping but i actually agree with hun that we may be forced into a war. History is repeating itself, putin will keep expanding until the world is forced to deal with him.




This nikka with the backhand compliment :stopitslime:



But I'm not trippin. I'm just ahead of the curve. I don't want it to happen, I would rather Russia just retreats. But that isn't gonna happen.

And the longer this goes on, the longer Zelensky holds out, the greater the chances of the rest of the world intervening.

However it may be premature. Zelensky could die tonight.

But if he continues to lead his ppl and doesn't surrender, NATO is gonna put their thumb on the scale in a big way. We're already doing it with our weapons shipments. Our involvement isn't gonna decrease from here. It will increase.

The Lithuanian health ministry has announced its decision to stop issuing permits for Russian citizens to come to Lithuania on an exceptional basis in response to Russia‘s war in Ukraine.

“That means that foreigners from a hostile state will no longer be able to come to Lithuania for personal healthcare services, including diagnostics, hospital or surgical treatment, as well as medical rehabilitation services,” the ministry said.

Permits will only be issued in cases when a person wants to come to take care of close relatives living in Lithuania.

After having amassed hundreds of thousands of troops near Ukraine's border over the past several months, Russian President Vladimir Putin launched a military operation against the neighbouring country on Thursday.

I think the sad reality we need to face is that with Putin in this mental state l, we are looking at WW3. Some consideration needs to be given to what is required to remove him from power.

Only hope would be the oligarchs banding together and finding a way to make Putin disappear. He's fukking up their money and if things keep going, it's gonna get a hell of a lot worse for them.

Romania bans Russian airlines from flying in its airspace – FM
Romania has banned Russian airlines from flying in its airspace, Romanian Foreign Minister Bogdan Aurescu has said.

"Romania just joined other EU member states in banning Russian airlines from our airspace. Romania encourages all partners & allies to take such action, as we stay resolute in our support for #UkraineUnderAttack. Ukraine is not alone & sanctioning Russia's aggression is needed #StandWithUkraine," Aurescu wrote in Twitter on Saturday.

Word is Thermobaric rockets are on the move to Kyiv... That's chemical warfare... they cause the enemies lungs to explode


It's over for putin if he does it... he wants everyone to come at him at that point

This is why I genuinely humanity is doomed. Why would you ever design a weapon that makes an opponents lungs explode and why would you ever allow for its use.

France seizes suspected Russian-owned ship in Channel

Russia seeks explanation after ship thought to belong to company targeted by US and EU sanctions is held

French sea police have seized a ship in the Channel that authorities suspect belongs to a Russian company in one of the first visible displays of the West enforcing sanctions on Moscow over its invasion of Ukraine.

The cargo vessel transporting cars, which was headed for St Petersburg, is “strongly suspected of being linked to Russian interests targeted by the sanctions”, said Capt Veronique Magnin, of the French Maritime Prefecture.

The ship was diverted to the port of Boulogne-sur-Mer in northern Francebetween 3am and 4am local time, Magnin said, adding that checks were being carried out by customs officials and that the ship’s crew was “being cooperative”.

The US Treasury Department has issued blocking sanctions against the vessel saying it was owned by a subsidiary of Russian lender Promsvyazbank, one of the Russian entities hit by US sanctions.

The bank’s CEO, Pyotr Fradkov, is the son of Mikhail Fradkov, a former head of Russia’s foreign intelligence service, who also served as prime minister under Vladimir Putin. Pyotr Fradkov was himself included in the latest round of US sanctions.


Promsvyazbank, in a comment sent to Reuters, said its subsidiary no longer owns the Baltic Leader, and that it was bought by a different entity before the sanctions were imposed.

The Russian embassy in France is seeking an explanation from authorities over the seizure, Russia’s RIA news agency quoted the embassy as saying. The embassy also said the ship’s crew had been allowed to come ashore and move freely about the port.

The United States, European Union, and other Western states this week imposed extensive new financial and trade sanctions on Russia after it sent military forces into neighbouring Ukraine.

The US Treasury said Promsvyazbank was put under sanctions “for operating or having operated in the defence and related materiel and financial services sectors of the Russian Federation economy.” It was also targeted by EU sanctions.
