I guess your trying to say that Capitalism is working? Both systems only work if you are on the right side of the gun as far as I can tell. I prefer to call it socialism but then I don't need a wheelbarrow to carry my balls around in either.
Are plushies made in China?

Many Republicans are increasingly coming to see themselves less as citizens represented by the federal government, and more as tyrannized victims of that government.

Try holding a sign and protest in Russia.
:neutral:

The first amendment is still strong here, thankfully.

Not perfect, but I can actually go protest and not necessarily be arrested.

Over there right now? Yeah not really free.

We're not REALLY free until all of Earth is free. ☮

I am part of the Unity Party... No longer a democrat or republican.

I'm a global citizen living on a planet in outer space and I have to think and act like one,

Hey you! I was just thinking about you because we were talking about Charles Bukowski earlier and then Sean Penn’s name 92F6ACA5-B9DF-4330-967C-D1AC15FB484B.jpegname came up because he is filming a movie in Ukraine right now. Did you know that he was good friends with Hank?

the U.S is not directly involved in this...this is a NATO issue..Biden volunteered to negotiate and macronroni had to jump in the spot light and play to putin's hand...so....
If NATO doesn't put more troops on the ground IF Russia invades Ukraine (and not the Separatists states) then its a green light to China to move in on Taiwan.
there, fixed that for you...

Ukraine is not part of Nato so its not a Nato issue.
Of course the US is directly involved with it. Bidens been the one wanting to sanction Russia and two of the separatists states and send weapons to Ukraine. He basically dared Putin and Putin didn't flinch. As some of us said earlier- Sanctions won't really harm Putin.

Bidens come out looking a little foolish and weak i think. Lots of ammunition for the Republicans.

"Putin’s means of keeping western liberal democracy at bay isn’t just to invade Ukraine, of course. It’s also to stoke division inside the west by fueling racist nationalism in western Europe and the United States. In this, Trump and Trumpism continue to be Putin’s most important ally. "

Summary
As dawn breaks in the Ukrainian capital of Kyiv, air raid sirens are sounding across the capital.
Earlier, residents reported waking to the sound of explosions as reports circulated that Russia had launched a series of missile strikes on the city of just under 3 million.
Many civilians sought safety in bomb shelters and metro stations as reports of Russian tanks were moving closer to the city from all sides.
Here’s what we know so far:
  • Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskiy has confirmed multiple reports of Russian missile strikes in a national address early on Friday morning.
  • Loud explosions were heard in Kyiv in the early hours of Friday morning. A Guardian reporter in the city confirmed they heard what sounded like a loud explosion.
  • Two multi-story residential buildings were seen on fire in south-east Kyiv after they were reportedly hit by falling debris from an aircraft that was shot down. Photos published by Ukraine’s state emergency services department show a multi-story building burning.
  • The Ukrainian interior ministry said it shot down a Russian aircraft over Kyiv. Anton Gerashchenko, an adviser to Ukraine’s interior minister, said the Russian aircraft was hit by the Ukrainian air force and fell in the Darnitsky district.
  • Russian forces were within kilometres of reaching Kyiv, according to US officials. According to a phone call that took place about 6:30pm ET on Thursday, US defence secretary Lloyd Austin told lawmakers that Russian mechanised forces that entered Ukraine from Belarus were about 20 miles (32km) from Kyiv, the Associated Press reports citing a source familiar with the call.
  • The Ukrainian border post in Zaporizhzhya region was hit by a missile strike at 4.25am local time, Ukraine’s border guard service said.
  • Ukraine’s armed forces confirmed additional weapons are being brought to Kyiv, amid reports of explosions in the Ukrainian capital.
  • The EU’s Ursula von der Leyen and Charles Michel, disclosed the details of the second tranche of sanctions against Russia.
  • French president Emmanuel Macron said Russian president Vladimir Putin had been duplicitous in his conversations with him, discussing the details of the Minsk agreements over the phone while preparing to invade Ukraine.
  • The United Nations announced it is immediately allocating $20m to scale up UN humanitarian operations in Ukraine following Russia’s invasion.
  • Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskiy gave a national address, confirming 137 civilians and military personnel have been killed so far in the Russian invasion of his country.
  • Zelenskiy added that his country has been left on its own to fight Russia and he and his family remained in Ukraine, despite Russia identifying him as “target number one”.
  • the Ukrainian president also decreed a full military mobilization against the Russian invasion, which is to last 90 days.
  • Russians have also been bravely protesting against attacks on Ukraine despite the often heavy-handed consequences of doing so.
  • The US is ready to accept Ukrainian refugees fleeing Ukraine, White House press secretary Jen Psaki has said.
  • The government of Ukraine is asking for volunteers from the country’s hacker underground to help protect critical infrastructure and conduct cyber spying missions against Russian troops, according two people involved in the project who spoke with Reuters news agency.

Now a SWIFT kick in the nuts and sanctions on Vlad and take his money and give to Ukrainian refugees. Embargo their oil exports as much as we can and cut off their internet as much as we can too.

Sanctions Expert: Russia Sanctions ‘Orders Of Magnitude Stronger’ Than Past Sanctions

Sanctions experts Edward Fishman and Rachel Alpert join Lawrence O’Donnell to discuss the “hammer blow” impact that new sanctions against Russian banks and Putin’s allies will have on the Russian economy, the impact of export controls on Russia’s “power” in the technology sector and what tools the U.S. still has in its arsenal against further Russian aggression.

Take some deep breaths, calm down and go back to 'neer's post. This time, sound out all the words and try to piece together their meaning. What he said was not how you took it just now.

Not in the medium term. Australia has tighter security allies than Ukraine. Historical Australia and China have got on well. At the grass roots level we still do. Its a mutually beneficial relationship even if we don't see eye to eye at times. We have fueled their economic rise and they have fuelled our never slowing economy as we walk the US / China middle ground tightrope.

You are too young to have heard it, but in the sixties there was a joke among state department types. They loved Germany so much, they were glad there was two of them to love.

Australia has a tiny population of 25 million with 1.6 % of the global economy. You are not big enough to fuel China’s economy. They can invade any day mate. Chuck another shrimp on the barbi.
