We need a thread on this, so I guess this is the one.

The Russians will simply obliterate Kiev and everything in it.
Putin has had it whatever happens next, he'll be gone in a year but it's too late.
One fucking man. Just one. That's all it takes one psychopathic nutter.
Why isn't the West using cyber attacks on Russia?

They don't need to enter Kiev, they can just bomb it with artillery and from the air. The longer it takes the more damage Putin is forced to create.

Onlookers wish that the conversation could be about what's happening NOW and what can be done about it.
Biden looks like he's going to give planes to the Poles so that the Poles can give their aircraft to the Ukrainians as they know how to fly them. That could make a difference.

Nobody gives a flying fuck what the ANC says about practically anything - least of all the invasion and destruction of a democratic, independent country by megalomaniac, Russian despot.

Meanwhile back in the real world, the second Russian general has been killed in Ukraine. Word is that their communications are no longer secure. And why was a general so near to the front line?

Russian tend to have those round, baby, faces. But yes he's young and yes, we're old.
And I'd be really grateful if we could talk about what's actually happening - people are dying defending their country and a Westerns democracy rather than calling a idiotic, and mostly incompressible, troll names. Perspective chaps, please.

So LMA supports the invasion of Ukraine and the murder of its civilian population.
Is there any reason we're still talking to him?
