Re: Say What?
Remember, Putin already has Chernobyl.
Accidents happen.
And conventional artillery shelling could easily destroy the confinement containers and it would be nearly impossible to tell whose shelling was at fault. The Russians would claim it was Ukrainian counter attack while Ukraine would claim Russian sabotage but most of Western Europe would get the results.

We need to watch closely what the senior military folk in the Russian Army actually do as opposed to the rhetoric.
Will they obey stupid and even illegal orders from the Civilian Russian political structure?
How about the grunts?
Will they agree to just get killed for no reason other than that they have been told to go get killed?
And what part will the Russian Military play internally?

Re: This War Is Very Depressing To Me
What really scares me is looking at the reaction of people I know fairly well.
One poured ought all of his Smirnoff vodka to spite the Russians.
Another fears that the US will face run away inflation due to the Ukrainian invasion.
Much of Putin's core support is the exact same fools as support Trump and the GoP; ignorant deplorable and willfully divorced from reality or evidence based decision making.

Re: This War Is Very Depressing To Me
That is particularly true since Smirnoff vodka sold the the US is also distilled and bottled in the US.

Re: Stalinist of course
One period source I always found worth reading though are the writing of Leon Trotsky. The man made very progressive and liberal arguments that still resonate even today. Which might be why he ended up assassinated in Mexico.

Communism is certainly far more Christian than Capitalism.

learn the basics Phat and throw away ALL of the apologists and conmen

Bullshit Phat.
Learn the basics.
The US gets less than 8% of it's oil from Russia and the US exports many times more oil than that every year.
Inflation is NOT changing the US gas prices, only greed and the utter stupidity of people like you is changing the gas prices.
And the Fed has many tools to deal with inflation which for the foreseeable future is only an issue for the utter stupid of people like you.
Were you alive in the 1980s Phat?
What was the Armageddon when we were seeing inflation rates over 10% a year?
Stop watching stupid videos produced only to con stupid people.

Phat writes:
Our land will fight itself with civil war from within.
Again, learn the basics Phat.
The issue is not Putin but the fact that a vast number of US citizens, just like you, have decided to be willfully ignorant.
You continue to elect people that are financed by big business and so work directly for the rich and powerful.
Almost half of the US voted to make the government fascist. Many still see that as desirable.
It ain't Putin, the enemy is YOU.

Not only did we survive the 80's, we survived the 60's and 70's that were far more violent, destructive and divisive.

Re: Wash Post: White supremacists - worldwide - traveling to join Ukrainian forces
You just insist on lying, don't you.
And so yet again you resort to outright lies.
Or perhaps you might actually provide a link to the Washington Post article titled "White supremacists - worldwide - traveling to join Ukrainian forces "
But since no such article even exists that might be difficult and beyond your capabilities.
