Wild times. A year in which I'm moving to UK & the EU I had hopes of visiting chernobyl within the first few weeks of me being out there. Sad that's change hopefully the innocent stay safe. A lot of flights out of Ramstein AFB & Air Refueling happening over Romania again today as well. Also US drone was over Black Sea all day yesterday probably subs etc in that area if Putin deploys missiles it's gonna get scary.

I wonder if they could rearrange all these destroyed vehicles and use them as barricades/ambush points on main and side routes into the cities? Even rig them with explosives maybe once the Russians push through

Obviously this is fake propaganda from 2014. Beep Bop Boop.

What do you expect in a country where a lot of people don't trust news or the government? It's really the fault of the news media. If they were known for their honesty, accuracy, and integrity, people might think that when they watch the news they might learn something and not have to come up with complicated explanations for what they see happening.

I'm curious to see what the market effects are going to be on Russia's economy, currency, and banking system come Monday. Then we can get a better idea if these sanctions are toothless or effective. I feel like it's not looking good for Russia, but they're just feelings and I need some actual data to determine if it's confirmation bias.

My general feelings are they're toothless. The most effective thing would be to stop buying Russian natural gas and oil. I know European nations likely can't, but USA certainly could.

We the Dutch have natural gas, but we stopped pumping years ago because of earthquake danger it brings with it … it time to start and supply our neighboring countries , so they can cut out Russian gas.

Then why didn't Putin try this any time between 2016 and 2020?

Maybe I wasn't clear. To me, that MSNBC clip talking about "Manchurian Trump secretly installed by Putin to weaken the West" is just as ridiculous as "Trump and the Russians are stopping Bill Gates and the child molesting Dems from starting another pandemic."

Uhh, have you missed what's happened to the ruble and banning of the vast majority of SWIFT transactions? Banning of Russian flights over the EU, Canada, etc.? Major shipping companies refusing to operate in Russia?

One analysis I saw was "these are designed to get someone to put a bullet in Putin's head." Russia is getting cut off from the world one piece at a time. It's unprecedented since the fall of the USSR. Toothless isn't the word I'd use if I were a Russian preparing to feel the pain. Revolution? Da.

You won't see it here but I just wanted to vent my frustration about the fact that even during an event like this, you still got an army of morons yelling and crying "what about us?"

Nope. Was confirmed by independent outlets apparently. There is video of the incident as it started and the column was ambushed.

They've been playing the videos on the news all morning.

I agree but yeah I don't live in Groningen. 'They're not going to be happy' is probably the understatement of the year
 
Russia is pushing.

What do the russians have in the sky as deterrence? These are easy pickings for the bayraktars right?
