NOT a political post, but I think it shows there is a lot more going on behind the scene and we (as stated before) are "talking softly and carrying a big stick".


I kind of agree with this and hope it is the case, it's best just to do it and keep quiet about it and not broadcast everything to Putin and the Russians.

Yep, let's not get too far down the rabbit hole and save most of that conversation for the other threads, but I've been pleasantly surprised and the unified front the US has given.

Maybe the most damaging sanction yet to Russia?

Wall Street Journal reporting that Russian oil sales have virtually stopped as buyers enact a "self-imposed" embargo, afraid to purchase oil that may run into trouble with sanctions on financing, shipping, etc. Banks are also refusing to finance purchases. Only India and China are buying limited amounts of oil from Russia. This is what's causing today's spike in prices for non-Russian oil.

Nord Stream AG, the Swiss-based company that owns the $11-billion natural gas pipeline linking Russia directly to Germany is insolvent and let all 106 of its employees go, an official in Switzerland said Tuesday. "We were informed today that the company cannot continue," Silvia Thalmann-Gut, a councilor responsible for the economy in Zug, Switzerland, told the Swiss broadcaster SFR. "It has filed for bankruptcy."

Again, WW2 was different. UK and France had a treaty with Czechoslovakia. They reneged on it bc Hitler promises peace.

NATO refused Ukraine entry, years ago. The US could have made a bilateral treaty with Ukraine, but didn't. We effectively told Putin we don't care enough for Ukraine to fight for them.

IF Putin invades a NATO country, then the Munich analogy would apply.

Street fighting taking a toll on Russians. However, this means Russians are on the west side of the Dneiper and moving north.

They're effectively cut off at this point. Same with Mariupol if the reports that the group from Crimea has linked up with the group from Donbas.

What does this mean? Are they just going to call Putin bad names?

I keep reiterating that there is no way Russian forces are going to be able to hold any appreciably sized territory that they may "take". No logistics, demoralized front line soldiers, Uke's getting more advanced weapons everyday and a fanatical populace. The whole thing is sad to watch; so useless.

Anonymous continues taking the war to the Russian people. Hacking credit card systems for gas station chains today.

Those forces have done really well but I'm betting the Russians will throw another 100,000 soldiers at this. I hope they are planning a way to get those men over the Dneiper

Looks like with a tow vehicle and good maps, the Ukrainians might be able to get themselves some abandoned Russian SAM systems.

Agree. The Ukrainians aren't going to let them institute some puppet government and just lie down/obey.

Going to get nasty and so many will continue to die in a worthless battle.

Fully agree. The invading is the easiest part and if they suck at that they have nowhere near the ability to manage an occupation.

Do we have a way to measure the sentiment of Ukrainians on a macro scale? Or Russians for that matter? I guess reporters on the ground is the best way in Ukraine?
