City councilors have drafted a resolution to declare Mr Waters persona non grata, due to be voted on at a session on September 28.

Mr Waters… post entitled "Hey Łukasz Wantuch, Leave them kids alone"


I guess this is nothing totally new with him, just weird to totally ignore Russia here

Like a lot of poser leftists the guy has a hard on for anything anti American even the fascist remnants of communism and the Soviet Union


It’s actually really sad

yeah, feel like he's had some whacked stances before,
but this seems like a whole new level of insane when thousands of ukraines have died, to be such an arrogant bastard


I do think as Americans we still haven't digested that the USA has a lot of blood on it hands from the last two decades in the middle east
like 1 million deaths

Yes, unilke Russia, we were not trying to take land or resources, but the families of the dead people could care less about our intentions

So Roger can definitely point the finger at the US and be pissed at us for our foreign policy,

but how he some what lumps Poland and the Ukraine  in to that really doesn't jive at all

^ nice!

for bonus points, i wouldn't have dumped a gallon or two of red pain at the entrance, so it would look like blood was pouring out of the building.

Hard to believe

really?  why?

Although there were great acts of individual courage - mainly by Argentine Air Force pilots- during the Malvinas War, let’s just say Argentines aren’t exactly renown for their bravery.

glory to the heroes

as i'm sure you're aware, there are a good number of Ukrainian-Argentines, especially around BA and in Misiones.  ARG has the seventh-largest Ukie diaspora - more than Germany and more than its neighbor Belarus.  so in addition to Argentines who want to fight for a noble cause and/or be war tourists, there is a pool of folks whose sense of cultural attachment compels them to join the fight.  that being said, based on stats that i've seen, ARG isn't in the top 20 of countries that have the most foreign volunteer fighters (top 3: poland, canada, usa).

great day in the fight against russian fascists: Kherson has been liberated.



this isn't an exaggeration.  check out #Kherson or r/ukraine for vids of pure joy.  helluva street party.

oh shit.

a two russian missiles "intended for Ukraine" (likely Lviv) went off course and hit Poland.  two Poles dead.  polish cabinet currently in a "crisis management" meeting.  pundits calling to invoke Article 5, AKA WWIII.  gawd i hope cooler heads prevail. 

Poland has been a HUGE supporter of Ukraine, yet i have to believe that today's events will only boost that support.

which, frankly, is the best possible outcome.  yeah, my lizard-brain wants to see Poland join in and assist in kicking ruzzia's ass (and they're itching to do it, too) - but risk of escalation would be something awful… the muscovites can delude themselves into thinking that they have a chance against Ukrainians under current circumstances (plus, this is a situation of their making to they have to accept most of it).  Poland joining in would have Putin reaching for the big red button since it would be the only card he'd have left to play.

the big difference you seemed to miss in your commentary is Poland is a member state of NATO
so a strike on Poland, is a strike on the US and Europe
