Daily life has its own set of horrible stuff. This would be something new and exciting

I feel like if we discovered Tiberium, it would just line up with overall theme of the last few years.

Putin was Kane all along? (bald and stuff)

Modern war is weird.

I guess if we curse them enough or beg them, they might stop...

Watched a missile strike hit a civvie in Ukraine. Fuck this shit.

Damn

Mad world.

Day 2 of the invasion...

When you look at its history, war of some sort was kind of unavoidable.

And the war of influence has been going on for years. There was proof of notable Russian interference of Brexit and Trump.

Ukraine barely lasted 30 years independently. With such a divided people, a long history of Russisism, previous leaders that were staunchly pro-Russian, and a lack of NATO membership, as well as very high Russian interests in the region, particularly in the Crimea, either civil war or annexation by Russia is almost unavoidable.

That it would come to quite THIS level of open aggression I still find surprising though. I guess Putin read between the lines well enough.

The sun takes another.

I read that this invasion was odd - no signature russian tank blitz with infantry divisions.

It's as much of a war to bolster Putin's approval ratings as it is about the actual war.

This is beyond my understanding!

I am afraid we will have something similiar soon. Turkey moving on to take Greek Islands. There will be election next year, and it is expected that Erdogan will most certainly lose this one because of the bad economic situation.

Of course he can't let that happen with all the corruption they are involved in for the past 20 years, so they will start a war, sure of it.

The war for the Falklands helped reelect Margret Thatcher in a time when she was struggling politically.
I'm not saying it was the wrong call (I don't know enough about it), but it definitely helped strengthen her image. Likewise for Putin (who has been struggling politically recently).

Hasn't the Ukraine been at war with its self since 2014?

A very lovely cat!

We all need more cats in our lives right now.

Cats are worse than humans, their fighting is much more common. They just look cuter, that's about it
