Bringing this one up from earlier today

Ah yes, can't wait to mimic our new democratic overlords of China and Russia.

Is it over yet?

It’s like 30% over

Does anyone have info if Zelensky has asked people to evacuate (minus those that want to fight)?

The RT video up above mentions Russia has told civilians to evacuate Kiev.

Zelensky probably wants to create a humanitarian catastrophe. That would be in his interest and make Russians look even worse.

Heres my take on the current situation. What we are doing with sanctions is great but we also need to ease up a bit. Remember when the German economy was in the toilet (literally) after world war 1? Hitler used this and the sadness and rage of the people and transformed that feeling in German society into pure rage..and Putin will use that . Also the banning of average Russians from everyday life must stop. What colleges and sports organizations are doing is making the situation worse and will only help contempt grow within the Russian population worldwide and Putin will exploit this with his propaganda machine. Also happens when you push a man to a corner? Hes going to strike back ferociously…and i have a feeling hes not done and hes going to send a message soon. Remember that Russias nuclear forces are still at level 2 which is our version of defcon 2. I was right about Russia attacking when everyone else was calling me a warmonger, fearmonger, etc ..and Im coming out with another prediction-Putin is about to unleash his Royal flush soon and that could involve nuclear weapons srs.

Btw remember what Moscow said about holding countries responsible for arming the Ukrainians with Javelins and other weapons? Putin is a man that does not bluff and God help us if the Russians decide to attack us based on this alone.

There is going to be blowback with some of the actions taken against Russia. It's a tough spot because leaders feel compelled to do something, but it also escalates the situation.

When this first started I thought it was going to be Russia taking small portions of Ukraine. Now that things have escalated I could see Putin going even further and taking the entire country.

Assuming Kiev falls, that will drastically change how the conflict plays out in the rest of the country. It would be the domino that could cause the rest of the country to surrender shortly after.

Eh kiev will fall by end of next week

Ukraine s af is failing to eliminate Russia's shelling of their city.

He has been trying to take the entire Country since day 1... What do you mean exactly? Every city was bombed even my wife’s City Lviv.

And if/when they do how does Ukraine look post war? What will happen to the West? They will obviously be extreme hostile and I don’t see how a Russian ran East Ukraine habitates with a west Ukraine? It’s going to be like Israel and Palestine’s

China Told Russia To Delay Ukraine Invasion Until After Olympics: US Officials

"According to the classified report, senior Chinese officials had some level of knowledge about Russia's plans for Ukraine prior to the Olympics, at a time when Moscow and Beijing issued a joint 5,000-word statement declaring that their partnership had "no limits," while denouncing NATO expansion, and vowing to establish a new global order with true "democracy."

"An EU plan to send fighter jets to Ukraine appears to be falling apart as each country that was reportedly going to deliver the planes is now denying involvement.

The plan announced Monday by EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrel was meant to give Ukraine old Russian-made MiG-29 and Su-24 fighter jets, which Ukraine’s pilots are already trained to fly. Poland, Bulgaria, and Slovakia were reportedly lined up to transfer the planes, but officials from each country denied the plan. "Slovakia will not provide fighter jets to Ukraine," the Slovak Foreign Ministry told Newsweek on Tuesday."

Bro what zelinsky needs to do is talk to the highest person he can reach in Moscow or Putin himself and talk surrender srs. Lets call an ace for what it is. Russia will win this one way or the other. Putin wont stop i promose you that. He started his campaign by targeting military installations but notice how attacks are now aimed at civilian locations….and this is by design.You attack a civilian area and military personnel will be forced to head to that direction..so bating them if you will. By zelinsky coming to an agreement he will end the bloodshed and SAVE lives. If he stays and continues the fighting ukranians are just going to see the destruction of their people and their nation. Its a ****ty situation but as a leader he is failing srs. You heard the media saying hes a godsend and messiah etc but he is doing his people a disservice. Im all for fighting for your freedom but when you know the cards are against you why prolong the death and suffering?

I don't know why but I think there is so much that we aren't being told that not even Putin is telling. It's beyond NATO and it's beyond some land. minerals ores, or even nukes and politics. I haven't processed enough to make any conclusions and I know it's lame to say "everything happens for a reason" but it does and quite possibly this is a good thing and not a bad thing. I just hope there are minimal casualties on either side.

Democrats (and even republicans) want to talk about interference in elections but the reality is it's going on everywhere. It's even easier than ever for nations to mess with each other's politics and maybe Russia isn't going to wait until they are completely surrounded. No doubt Democrats and many politicians have a chip on their shoulders about Russia and keep acting like they are the bad guy, they are the enemy so maybe Russia was like "If I'm going to be treated like a bad guy, then I'll be the bad guy" They know the west is full of pusies so they are making their move. I don't really agree with it but I see it.

Trump was no friend of Russia although democrats say he was. He was tougher on them than Obama, or Biden for that matter. However, he wanted to deal with them and find a solution. The democrats don't want a solution, they want the problem. It's like Russia had some harsh demands no doubt, but NATO/West didn't even try to compromise. Biden can't deal like Trump. They more or less ganged up on Putin and refused to deal and thought they were in control, but they obviously weren't. Also, a lot of the news is BS which bothers me.

Serious question. If Putin unleashes a nuclear weapon in a non NATO country to show he isn't bluffing do you think NATO escalates and gets involved or we all just try to negotiate immediate?

I would like to see a surrender as well. Lots of people are going to die otherwise. (Sorry Ukraine bros)

The way things have escalated I don't think there will be talks though. Zelensky and Putin have dug in their feet.
