    The situation is terrible, and the refugee crisis grows every day. Polands population has increased by 5% due to the flood of refugees into the country. I'm on standby with several relief agencies to provide medical relief as soon as the WHO says to go.

    Word is it's not going to get better anytime soon.

    It's hard to second guess Putin's thoughts here. Did he think he'd take Ukraine easily by now, because clearly it's been slow progress for the Russian military.

    And did he expect the huge sanctions/financial hit (although gas price hikes are obviously helping him).

    And then we have the public image including even in Russia itself. I mean when people are willing to risk a decade in prison doing this? Wow!

    Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

    I've read stories about how top brass in the Russian military have pilfered funds to buy yachts to pootle around the flashier parts of Europe's coast, and of course with Poo Tin firing/removing/whatever else a bunch of his top brass, it suggests that either they'd been telling him porkies about how grand their abilities were militarily speaking, or he's swept them aside because they were pushing back.

    If Shit Tin wants to be all old school about it, former KGB boy that he is, then someone within the Russian government needs to drag him out back, sling him up against a wall, and put a bullet in his madman head. He's off his fucking rocker.

    Good to see some people in Russia questioning the clearly bullshit narrative being spun locally, despite the extraordinarily harsh reactions/sentences from the authorities. That alone exposes Turd Box for the crazed dictator that he is to his own people. Two mere words spoken and you can be arrested and disappeared. Children, detained with their protesting parents, thrown into cages.

    Wake up, people of Russia. You deserve so much more respect from your own government than what you're getting. Instead of improving your democracy and your opportunities in life, he's killing your sons and splashing your cash for his own insane goals. Absolute fucking scumbag, so he is.

    BREAKING NEWS: France has surrendered!
    Do I detect a faint hint of mocking overtones directed at Mr. Steven Frederic Seagal in your above response, sir? Are you out of your mind, you mere mortal man? Do you have a death wish? Do you wish to be obliterated from existence? Don't taunt that one-man army, that unstoppable fighting juggernaut, and tempt him to open a can of "A Whole New Dimension of Pain" on you.

    A 'deepfake' video of Zelensky 'calling for Ukraine to lay down its arms' has been exposed.

    Fan fucking tastic - more of this shit to come in the future, then, in all walks of political life. How soon before a war is started because of a deepfake?
