Met her on social media decades ago (before Facebook was a thing.) Then her mother, who's been dead for a few years, also contacted me and wrote a few articles for my site. We've never met in person but we've exchanged gifts through the mail, going on 20 years now. I wanted to come see her or for her to come see me but in the early days she had trouble obtaining a visa, then it became an issue of cost or convenience, then she got married.

We were both quite depressed when we began corresponding and by the time we stopped we were both recovered.

She was sure/terrified of a Russian invasion the whole twenty years.

God bless her and her family.

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

"liberating"?  Question

That's his word for it, and the media dare not misquote him.

What Putin says and does should be in the media, but I wouldn't parrot it.

Eh,
Some guys on Facebook who get their nooz from Al Jazeera instead of where everybody else is getting it tried to throw The Azov Battalion in everybody's face this morning....

Basically, Russia dropped their own insurgents, troublemakers & terrorists into Georgia, Crimea, & the Donbas region, & when the Ukraine started their own volunteer antiterrorism unit, Putin had no trouble turning it into a cute little antinazification narrative that looks good on Al Jazeera....

This is what I've looked up so far....

^ uhhh I don't think theres any question of the Azov battalion and their political leanings.



Biden has hinted, actually outright said, that the US goal is regime change in Russia. What do they think would succeed Putin? His official successor is someone he hand picked and anyone who wins an election will be a lot like him or worse. and it certainly wouldn't be Alex Navalny, the NATO choice

^I only heard of this today, Didn't know what a political mess the Ukraine was until a week ago....^
Maybe that's why Putin thought this would be a cake walk....

^And if Biden's gonna talk the talk, he should let Poland give migs to the Ukraine.^

Biden only said what most people are thinking.
Putin is a mad dog who needs to be put down.

They might not say it, but do you really think any of them support this disastrous war, in the name of nothing but naked conquest?
I don't think many people would grieve if Putin got hit by a bus right now.

They just want to keep trading because they see an opportunity for war profiteering with the West temporarily withdrawing and Russia needing to find emergency new markets to buy and sell. They don't give a s**t about Putin or Russia or Ukraine, just rubles

But look at the chart midway down this article: https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2022-03-24/ukraine-war-has-russia-s-putin-xi-jinping-exposing-capitalism-s-great-illusion

If Russia, China and India formed an exclusive trading block it would only be 25% of the world's GDP. Doesn't sound like a great deal. China needs US markets, they won't go too far.

If something happened to Putin, he'd be replaced by somebody just like him.
