also realizing there is a ton of misinformation out there, one can hope this transcript of this interaction is accurate…

I hope they fight like their lives and those of their children depend on it cause they do


The more fight they show the more pressure on the rest of the world to do something…exactly what can be done seems unclear to me

let's be clear: those men that are being conscripted, along with the existing ukrainian army, are not going to win.  they are, for the most part, going to die.  russian soldiers don't care if they are being shot at by 60 year old man with a hunting rifle that is even older than he is, or some volunteer babushka with malfunctioning kalashnikovs- they're all toast.  and they know it.  as a certain cheerleader would say, "sad."

Gen. Patton said "The object of war is not to die for your country but to make the other bastard die for his."  congrats, mr putin.

True but either you fight or you don’t. Either you stand up or you don’t. If the Ukrainians don’t fight nobody is going to fight with them.

I been reading about the history of the Ukraine. It’s interesting. It really has been a part of Russia for most of the past 1000 years.

Is he really gaining in popularity?

I hate polls and the hill is clearly right leaning

NEW POLL: 62 percent of voters say Putin wouldn't have invaded Ukraine if Trump were president hill.cm/NfIWsOw

I’m still shocked by how blatant some of the support for Russia out of people who work for our government

That is a grade A Badass response

New @AP reporting tonight: Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy was asked to evacuate Kyiv at the behest of the U.S. government but turned down the offer. An American official tells me Zelenskyy said, “The fight is here; I need ammunition, not a ride.”

Ukraine's highway authorities are busy removing road signs to disorientate Russian invaders.

i 1000% support anything the Ukies can do to stop, or at least delay, putin's horde of monsters.  however, i doubt that changing road signs will have much impact.  they have GPS, they have the russian equivalent of GPS, they have google maps… removing road signs is a relic of WW2.

They are being charactistically creative with replacement signs, of course

i like the "no putin" sign, as it might contribute, however slightly, to demoralization of the russians.

there was another similar post i saw where someone mocked up a trio of signs, in Ukrainian:
- straight ahead: FUCK OFF
- right turn: FUCK OFF SOME MORE
- left turn: FUCK OFF BACK TO RUSSIA
