Here is the Pelosi statement, in case you were wondering what AOC told her to say. I like this one way better than the "Putin is a genius, he's going in as a peacekeeper" statements others have made. San Francisco – Speaker Nancy Pelosi issued this statement on Russia’s invasion of Ukraine: “Russia’s launch of a premeditated war against the sovereign nation of Ukraine is an attack on democracy and a grave violation of international law, global peace and security. Putin’s unprovoked actions will cause devastating loss of life and a diminishing of Russia in the world order. “The leadership of President Biden and our allies to demonstrate overwhelming resolve is crucial in this moment of heartbreak and suffering for the Ukrainian people. We are united with unprecedented strength and coordination in our commitment to Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity. I reiterated this message when I spoke with Rada Speaker Stefanchuk this morning. As Members of Congress demonstrated and saw firsthand at the Munich Security Conference, Putin has failed in his attempt to splinter our alliance, and, as President Biden stated today, ‘NATO is more united and more determined than ever.’ “The response of America and our allies will be severe, ongoing and devastating for Russia, economically, diplomatically, and strategically. President Biden has made clear throughout Russia’s escalation that we will continue to impose costs on Russia that will leave it weakened in every way. These include the further steps announced today of sweeping and catastrophic sanctions on financial institutions, companies and individuals critical to the Russian economy and of further military support to bolster NATO. As always, we will continue to fully support the people of Ukraine with humanitarian assistance and weapons to defend their country. “Congress is closely monitoring the situation, including with a briefing from the Administration today and with a classified in-person briefing next week. The United States Congress joins President Biden and all Americans in praying for the Ukrainian people.”
The West's $1 trillion bid to collapse Russia's economy Seems the world is going much further than I even ever thought they would. Amazing how things changed rapidly, galvanizing the world against Russia. Can't say he didn't provoke this or that we "have no right." All bets are off in that regard.
Putin will push as long as he is allowed to push. We will have to set up a front on the Polish border one way or another.
Those babies must have had weapons...from CNN live "A maternity clinic near Kyiv hit by a missile, clinic chief says From CNN's Hande Atay Alam A missile hit a private maternity clinic near Kyiv, Ukraine, on Tuesday, according to the Adonis maternity clinic chief Vitaliy Gyrin's Facebook post. "A missile hit the maternity clinic. Much damage was done but the building is standing. Everyone has been evacuated," Gyrin wrote on his Facebook page. Gyrin also specifically asked people not to come to the clinic, "Most important is do not come now to get anyone from here. Everyone is in a secure place and in safety. This is for sure." Gyrin also posted photos on his Facebook page that show the damaged building of the Adonis clinic."
I’m wondering if you too do not understand the word imperialism and that not all forms are created equal.
Russia tries to stop Western companies fleeing the country - CNN Those bigger companies will just shrug off the efforts by Russia to ban them from selling/leaving. But my favorite part is the ruble being worth 1 US CENT That's less than Fortnite V bucks
