@Ilovethebomb @LaFinlandia that or just plain walk into Moscow and St. Petersburg and tell Vladimir that they're running the place now. From what I can tell about the Russian economy, he's not doing a great job and they might go for that. Who knows. I don't pretend to understand Russian politics.

@partial_accumen @Ilovethebomb That's a possibility. Only I'd make sure to 'liberate' some of the equipment first which you know good and well the Ruskies have done to theirs.

@LaFinlandia is this in Russia or Ukraine? There are two places with the same name.

@eestileib @CptEnder Disagree, if it could be learned, Putin would have some by now.

@SomeAmateur @LaFinlandia As someone who has entered politics later in life, I can attest to the "optics" that, yes, everything you do does "appear" to be for somebody's benefit. I can also tell you that much of what you see is simply us. That's who and what we are-unvarnished. I suspect that with Zelenskyii just about everything is WYSIWYG to use the early computer acronym-what you see is what you get. That's just him.

@YeetPics @LaFinlandia Disagree totally. He's the #1 cause, yes, but he is not the only one. He could not do this without help, and he's had plenty. He's enlisted people from Bulgaria, Turkey, and other countries who specialize in atrocities and torture. He's allowed violent criminals out of prisons to go to war. He has help. They need to pay for their crimes, too. #WarCrimes #PutinWarCriminal #RussiaUkraineWar #RussianInvasion

@LaFinlandia Can't just throw a piece of adhesive on that one and call it good.

@LaFinlandia As much as I dislike the sight of those black smoke plumes, SLAVI UKRAINE! Maybe next time, hit that railroad and highway, too?

@downpunxx @LaFinlandia @deft @ThrowawayPermanente I dunno. They are told that if they say no, they will be shot. If they turn back, they will be shot. If they desert, they will be shot. Doesn't sound like a lot of choice there to me.

@LaFinlandia You have got to be kidding me. If he's an abuser, well, nothing lost, but seriously?? That's really cold.

@Vikthor @AJB_l4u Just a guess, the usual stuff, jamming, keep moving, camo, false fronts, etc. War is war. You can only hide men and materials so much and for so long. The satellites are up there. Drones are flying. You just do what you can.

@veroxii @xhci Au contraire, Pres Zelenskyye has made no bones about the fact that he wants in the NATO alliance yesterday. I'm not certain about the EU, but he'd likely not refuse it totally as it would provide markets for Ukrainian wheat and products. Conflicts eat up weapons. Unless, of course, you are proposing that having RU controlling the EU gas and oil supply a good thing?
