The Crazy SOB Actually Did it!

[Rev. Powell]

Nata still posting, still feeding pigeons. She posted pictures of her neighborhood today, undamaged but the streets are all eerily empty.

And compared to what will come if this goes on, things haven't even STARTED to get nasty yet.

Sadly I have to agree with that.

Nata's still posting, still feeding pigeons in an empty park.

all the "moderates" I follow on twitter are screaming for World War 3 while the extremists like Marjorie taylor Green and Ilhan Omar are urging caution and restraint

Nata is still posting, still feeding pigeons. Posted some pictures of empty streets, no damage near her. Reposted this from a friend:



It was a "sports complex" where the poster used to swim.

My Russian friend is against the war but seems worried that the rest of the world is trying to "cancel" Russian culture. (Which is a rare Putin talking point he agrees with.) I tried to reassure him that Americans, at least, are not against Russian people or culture, we sympathize with the Russian people and strictly blame the current situation on Putin.

[Edit: it turns out he wasn't echoing Putin, he was responding to an article by an expatriate film critic who suggested "canceling" Russian culture).

Nata, meanwhile, is staying inside (there's a curfew in Kyiv) and seems in good spirits, all things considered.

Nata still posting, still feeding pigeons. The counteroffensive seems to have temporarily taken some of the heat off.

" or whatever"
If you can figure out "whatever".  What peace deal they should sign? Where is this deal? Please, let the world know.

[Rev. Powell]

"If Russia yields, it will probably yield to a provisional peace. Putin does not seem capable of learning from his mistakes. Yet a provisional peace that preserves Zelensky's government, brings about a lasting cease-fire, and does not permanently infringe on Ukraine's independence, sovereignty, and autonomy (as Kyiv defines the terms) may be attainable. As unjust as it would be, it is preferable to all the actual alternatives." Best case scenario, probably the likeliest as well.

Nata posted some pictures of her neighborhood, deserted but no damage visible anywhere.

Nata's still feeding pigeons. The Ukrainians have driven back the Russians from the outskirts of Kyiv temporarily. They're so far back on their heels they're not even shelling the city right now.

[Rev. Powell]

Nata still posting and feeding pigeons. Incredibly, it seems that the Russians may be abandoning Kyiv and moving their forces to the east! She may have dodged a missile!

[RCMerchant]

I hope the best for her.

Putin says he's still committed to liberating everything east of the Dnieper River...
