I don't think you are, I think you have TDS still and can't see anything outside your warped worldview. You cry for innocence in Ukraine, but you celebrate death of the most innocent, you say Putin lovers are scum, all while bowing to worse people.
I appreciate that you've chosen to attack me over my disappointment that people are cheering for Putin and talk mad shit while also providing all of us with your voting record.

Hope you have a nice Thursday.

"NBC NEWS: US President Joe Biden has been presented with options for massive, unprecedented cyberattacks against Russia."

Our genius in the office is announcing our big retaliation.

Not a surprise, women like men, not people like Trudeau, which most Canadians are like (the ones I know).
We're in this thread for news and discussion on Russia/Ukraine, not to hear your thinly-veiled insults of other members.

If you can't separate this from your political animosities, and it's gonna result in you continuing to go after other posters, I'm gonna ask you to not participate while we're still in the first 24 hours of Russia's invasion.

As mentioned cyber attacks increase the risk of a misunderstanding happening. Misunderstandings lead to escalation. Not saying I wouldn't go that route. I'm saying I'm kind of glad I'm not in charge.

Love that you don't even know how crippling a cyber attack could be. This could be a great step by our country in helping Ukraine...

Invasion is taking longer and costing more than they thought.
HE makes two important points in this tweet which I alluded to earlier. There hasnt been a shock and awe entrance ( if they can and didnt...why not) and Ukraine has already had success in taking out a column of tanks, downing helicopters and planes and its Day 1.

Absolutely it could be a big help to Ukraine!

It could also lead a realitory cyber attack. Cyber attacks as mentioned can be crippling. Crippling to the point you can't see what's going on full anymore and mistake something for something worse, which can lead to an escalating response.

Again I'm not saying NO cyber attack response. I'm saying all this has to be carefully planned. Russia has nukes.

Looks like cutting russia off from SWIFT won't happen. Shocker, I know, but germany and some others in EU don't want to do so.

What's the over/under on germany holding off on russian gas? 1 month?

Go back to Parler.

Who's to say we didn't already do it, but released that we will. Maybe it's a decoy. Maybe it's just an option. Either way, you new found schtick of name calling, belittling, and douchebaggery are unbecoming.

It wasn't directed at you, sorry about that! Also, I do agree that there is a lot of unknowns and we need to be sure of what we're doing.

Does anybody know if Russia has been met with battalion or squadron level resistance in an dngage and fall back strategy or is it just Ukraine soldiers using stingers in hit and run attacks?

Gotta be careful. I saw a lot of tweets showing a column of tanks destroyed and was claimed to be Ukrainian tanks by a Russian media outlets. But in the video you can clearly see they are all marked with the "Z" and those definitely Russian tanks that are destroyed.

Also I'd totally keep saying stuff like this even if it wasnt true and I was the US and allies. LOL

I thought that the column of tanks was Ukrainian?

EDIT: Thanks for correcting me, Cack

The areas I keep seeing mentioned on twitter as heaving fighting are Sumy, Kharkiv, and Mariupol. Russia has not succeeding in advancing in any of those areas yet, and have sustained the losses of dozens of tanks and vehicles.

Contrary to what Putin has said, Donbass has seen very little fighting since the Ukrainian troops have had 8 years to dig in there.

This thread is going to get hot. And given that it's a geopolitical event there are certain to be political opinions. Just try to be as respectful to others as possible. If people can't, we'll give short "timeouts" from posting in the thread to cool off.

I meant to post a follow up with the standard "Political Threads are Usually Thunderdome-Acceptable," but this is newsworthy enough that moderate policing should be expected.
