The map. I notice that Russian troops are getting closer to Odessa. They also seem to control a [almost] complete land passage to the access to the Crimean peninsula. More than 360,000 Ukrainians have fled the country since the beginning of Russia's assault on the country, says the UN. 🔴 LIVE updates: https://t.co/eiwvEdtEQr pic.twitter.com/qvNcTmTMpx — Al Jazeera English (@AJEnglish) February 27, 2022

If it’s in the NYT, best not to believe it. Biased journalists from @nytimes, @GuardianAus & @abcnews fell for a hoax that the Proud Boys are sending fighters to meet Putin & to help him invade Ukraine. The account some of them cited had 10 followers & their flight video evidence was a 2018 YT video.https://t.co/OzNXZdCaPO — Andy Ngô 🏳️‍🌈 (@MrAndyNgo) February 27, 2022

Hi skinowski.... Just some general thoughts on this mess... Maybe Putin has to "look strong"..... From what I'm reading in the last couple of hours, he is going for broke, all in....By the sound of it....He just committed almost every offensive weapons system he had mobilized on Ukraine's borders....Maybe he is trying to force Ukraine to the bargaining table now...??? Nuclear forces are always on high alert....I can still remember our purchased press telling us we were all going to die within two weeks because Ronald Reagan was dealing firmly with Russia....I was up on the flight-deck reading about it while "Ivan the Garbage Collector" was following us around in the big IO. I think we need to get back to NSDD-32. Biggest worry for me AFA the nukes go, is large scale EMP attack takes out all comms....That will be a new scenario....Militaries will have "their own" way of dealing with that....Launch first, or retaliate...??? I bet Putin thinks the west will not retaliate....If a western leader sends nukes topside, he/she probably won't get reelected and we don't want to cause further climate change and so on.... IMO.....The most important moves so far: 1. Freezing CBR assets 2. Attacking Putin & his closest friends/allies personal fortunes
