#1 The Waffen SS has thousands of fanboys in the Azov Battalion. Maybe the Germans can ship them some surplus Totenkopf gear to go with their rape and murder manuals

#3 That's just the EU's finest chipping in because without Zelensky who'll sell out Ukraine to Brussels?

As you can imagine I'm not exactly a fan of the current Red-Green government (with a bit of free democratic balance).

But it was the green foreign minister, who held her own against this lying sack of shit Lavrov and who struck a sober tone.

And Scholz did finally see the light, too. Yes, this is a histotical watershed for Germany.

NATO was on the ropes. Putin is making it strong again.

I wonder how the powers that be in Moscow see this fact.

#8 Taking notice how many NATO countries are now sending weapons. Instead of allowing the sinews of the rope to unwind, it appears Putin has caused them to tighten. Insti had an unverified rumor that the FFL is allowing Ukrainians 'home leave'.

They (RU powers) are of course in public denial. Behind the curtain however, I am sure they are searching for an off-ramp.

#10 Putin's biggest danger is from allies who don't want him to take them down as well.

I wish Germany good luck with the calculus homework from this semester they've decided to start doing.

Final exam started in Kiev five hours ago.

#12 Since the MiG 29s rely on ground control radar for air to air intercepts - which no longer exists - this is effectively supplying more targets to the Russians and eliminating valuable trained pilots. Not a shrewd move

#13 What's the exchange rate between, Dollar, Pound and Ruble?
-A pound of rubles is worth a dollar.

I agree. And this act pretty much guaranteed that Sweden will join NATO. Possibly Finland as well.

#16 /\ Some might say actual "membership" is NO LONGER necessary. Designated stockpiles of anti-tank rockets, drones, and intelligence is necessary.

#18 Russia has apparently given up trying to rush in and reduce civilian casualties. This is one of many reports about the Russians just bombarding civilian areas around Ukraine now.

#21 All Pooty had to do was hold his water for another 10 years and at the rate the EU's military capabilities were atrophying, he could have had the whole shooting match for the asking.
