Putin is Russia

The usual suspects.

If anything this is an argument for stronger sanctions if Putin is still able to pay his cronies overseas.

I mean, even if they were to become the second most absurd country in the world, there is a big gap between #2 and NK.

Who is the current #2? Is China in the running, or does their perceived efficacy outweigh the absurdity?

Speaking of China...

Granted it's on Chinese media aimed at the US but...

Seems like a warning to Putin to keep it "clean" - that is, clean by their standards. Bar so low it's barely a speed bump.

I can't get a timestamp since it's still going on, but go back a few minutes and watch the ambassador to Ukraine's talk.

Also I would like to note - C-PTSD - suffers of this may be found in many rules - soldiers or executioners. For diplomats, here in the UN, here in the Security Council, there appear to be other symptoms. The defense the Russian Ambassador is mounting will be examined by scholars of history, sociology ...

Ambassador, do the eyes of the women and children killed in Ukraine flash before your eyes? We will help you with this stress. Now have some decency and stop abusing this council.

They cut to his face. It was pretty good.

Anyone here know of any charities they wish to plug in regards to helping Ukraine? I've come across International Rescue Committee as well as World Hunger Kitchen and donated to both, and I'm wondering if anyone here has any other suggestions.

If you're willing to brave Twitch, you could probably find a lot of people doing charity streams. Just match it up with an interest of yours then perhaps do a bit of research into who they're donating to if you're iffy.

Outside of US facing Chinese media now too...

Meanwhile even at the UN, Russia is alone: https://twitter.com/AFP/status/1504576308239474689

Biden / Xi call happened today, no?

[Lucavi]

They've managed this invasion so incompetently that even China and India are taking a step back.

If it escalates, sounds like it’ll be less of a world war and more of a russia vs the world kind of war, they really seem to have no allies in this anymore

China and India would sit out. I don't see either of them actually going in on Russia, they probably would just not commit anything.

Anyone else catch that the acronym for the Russian Elite Proxies and Oligarchs task force is REPO.
https://home.treasury.gov/news/press-releases/jy0659

Secretary of the Treasury Janet L. Yellen and Attorney General Merrick B.

Garland today met virtually with representatives from Australia, Canada, Germany, France, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom, and the European Commission, to launch the Russian Elites, Proxies, and Oligarchs (REPO) multilateral task force. The task force was first announced by leaders on February 26.


The task force, consisting of Finance Ministry and Justice or Home Ministry in each member jurisdiction, each committed to using their respective authorities in concert with other appropriate ministries to collect and share information to take concrete actions, including sanctions, asset freezing, and civil and criminal asset seizure, and criminal prosecution.

State TV goofed the recording and cut off Putin's speech

[Twilight Sky]

Xi is probably legit impressed by the Ukrainians strong show of stelwart defense and aint trying to help topple that. India has a huge problem with COVID and just dont have time to for Putin.

Theres about 150,000 Ukrainians that were forced to go there as one of the evacuation 'corrodors'. Putin tried to be slick and make all of them go to Russia but Zelenskyy caught on to that quick.

So they are supposed be his 'brothers'' and 'supposed to be part of Russia' but here he is finally getting the idea that maybe he doesnt actually want them in Russia.

I don’t think Xi gives two shits about the Ukrainian people but he is taking copious notes for China’s eventual annexation of Taiwan.
