Man, I really hope that India aligns with the US and Allies.

India,China, and Russia would be a pain in the arse. So many fricking people.

That's good to say and all, but does Biden have any ability to do that without serious help from other institutions and countries? If that's the case, "Biden" didn't really do anything. Nice of him to claim it though.
No. He'll always have friends in Asia, Africa , S America, but if the EU complies hopefully Putin will be treated no better than a Tinpot dictator from the Sudan, etc.....

I can’t imagine India allying with China. They know what China is all about.

The guy on the roundtable at Fox just said that Russian troops can't fight at night which to him was unreal. I had no idea that was the case. Anyone know why?

Exactly. India has zero trust when it comes to China.

Ukraine’s Air Defense downed a Russian Ilyushin II-76 carrying a landing force near Vasylkiv south of Kyiv


Won’t matter. In the end Russia still has the same frame of mind when it comes to waging war that they always have. Keep sending in civilian/soldiers until there are none left. Just look at Stalingrad in WW2. Russia would just as likely killed their own soldiers as the Germans. It goes back to the old line up and shoot at each other mentality.

If anything, Russia is letting the rest of the world know how inept they are. If the US and NATO decided to end this, it would be over in a week, with Russia being back to where they were after the fall.

Out of curiosity, does anyone know how many #Putin paratroopers a Russian II-76 usually carries?

Asking for a friend.

I really hope Ukriane can hold out long enough for Russia to decide that this attack isn’t worth it. Would be a shame for these brave defenders to lose their lives.
This. Allow Putin to save face & agree that Crimea & the Donbas regions aren't Ukrainian territory & free to choose their future as Russian or Independent.

There was evidence that the current government and a lot of group are pro Nazi in Ukraine.
genuine question: what does this even mean? what does a pro nazi government look like in the year 2022?

It is kind of surreal seeing pics and video from the ground in near real time of Russian troop movements then having random people all over the world go to work trying to locate where the pics/vids were taken and geotagging them. Then, passing that location along on Twitter.
