    well I’m not a D so find me a home… I really hate labels of most any kind… I’m free to choose whomever I like when I like

    there are plenty of us that are Cold War kids and I’d gladly shoot a Russian invading my homeland or the homeland of a friend

    That’s your fucking party now, dumbass. Stop voting (R). They fucking loathe democracy and a diverse America. If you still vote for them, I’m sorry for you to learn this at this point, but you’re a complete piece of shit.

    The GOP/Fox/right-wing media has lied to you for 50+ years. All of it. Voting for Ds is the only way for you to save America.

    Idk if they are discussing it. But Biden should be at the podium every day speaking to the Russian people telling them this is not your war, it’s a mad man’s war. Your brothers, sons, fathers are dying for the delusions of someone stuck in the past. Go let your voices be heard on the streets, the world stands with you.




    Edit - to really fuck with Vlad they should appoint HRC as special attaché to the Russian invasion of Ukraine and have her give these speeches.

    This is very true. Also true that as a party, gop leaders and news people have decidedly shifted toward supporting Russia and Putin.

    Don't forget the quite interesting argument a few pages before that about how the US was forcing Russia to invade in order to preserve the power of the dollar in relation to oil/gas trading.

    I honestly don’t think it would’ve been far fetched that had trump even more explicitly asked rwnjs to revolt using armed violence that the US would’ve had insurgent problems across the country.

    Seeing this invasion in a modern country makes the idea of it happening in the US seem more real.

    We’d be watching armored personnel vehicles or the National guard getting disabled in suburban streets by fat 3%ers

    The towed artillery in that picture is concerning; indirect fire is by definition pretty indiscriminate

    Then don't get defensive when people criticize Republicans

    Should migrate to the Biden thread if you legit want to talk about it though which would probably be a positive

    Glad that you answered what was being towed. Was about to ask. Not to sound hyperbolic but we could see Russia turn Kyiv into Aleppo if they flip the switch.

    It’s a potato quality picture but that’s what I’d think it is. Maybe heavy mortars since the barrels look pretty short but Russia has about 8 million towed artillery variants. Absolutely a pain in the dick to ID even on good imagery

    Would it be safe to assume the more resistance they find within Kyiv, and the longer they aren’t able to make gains in there the more belligerent they would become in shelling of the city?

    Hard to say; firing IDF into an urban area full of confused lines of contact means you’re mostly hitting civilians and just as likely to hit you’re own people as the enemy. On the other hand, besieging the city and letting people live stream you lobbing shells into apartment buildings Seige of Paris Style looks really fucking bad in the 21st century.
