    On another note, can someone explain this. lol.



    On 11 June 2020, Mike Pompeo and U.S. President Donald Trump announced sanctions on officials and employees, as well as their families, involved in investigating crimes against humanity committed by US armed forces in Afghanistan.[312] This move was widely criticized by human rights groups.[313] 



    Oh, you americans. Russia-orange instead of Europe-green.

    For everyone, this was tongue in cheek.  War is savagery to start.

    Many are now wondering, how long can the Ukrainian army withstand the Russian invasion? One who knows the Ukrainian army, its commanders and soldiers, more than anyone else, is the Swedish major Roger Djupsjö at the Swedish Armed Forces. For almost a year he trained the Ukrainian security forces on the ground in the country and many of those he met became his friends for life.

    - The Morale and will of the Ukraining forces are exceptional. 
    - Russian forces doesn't have the will, and that makes them wary in battle situations
    - The American Javelins and the Swedish/british Robot-57/NLAW anti-tank weapons are great against Russians armed vehicles
    - Different tactic in the west and Russia - in the west units are given more responsibility themselves to solve obstacles, in Russia they are given orders from the top. Which is a less flexible tactic.
    - Military aid must be given. For the Ukrainian people there is not an option to go back to an authorial state.
    - Surprised and not surprised at the same time at how things stand - Ukraina doesn't have the military size to withstand Russia. But at the same time the Ukrainian Generals are educated with the Soviet system and therefore can act with that knowledge. Also, going in with forces as quick as Russia did has cost them. It was a tactical blunder.
    - We can become comfortable with our democracy, take it for granted - Ukraine is dying for democracy

    Biden was asked if Americans should be worried about nuclear war, Biden said “no.”

    I agree with this statement.  It's posturing by Putin to try to warn the West against helping Ukraine.  But I don't think he's likely to launch a strike, surely not against North America.  So with all of the things happening in the world, a nuclear war is probably not something to worry about.  I would not start digging a shelter.

    I agree.  But hearing it from the president can hopefully settle some people who may have been more concerned about a nuclear strike more  than others…

    I don't think anyone has grounds for theorizing about and/or calling it "a strong possibility".

    he's nowhere near backed into a corner yet. he may be a bit nuts, but he's not stupid. I doubt he's going to off himself just to spite the world.

    Reading Putin: Unbalanced or cagily preying on West's fears?

    By NOMAAN MERCHANT and VLADIMIR ISACHENKOV
     Today
    WASHINGTON (AP) — For two decades, Vladimir Putin has struck rivals as reckless, impulsive. But his behavior in ordering an invasion of Ukraine — and now putting Russia's nuclear forces on high alert — has some in the West questioning whether the Russian president has become dangerously unstable.



    continues.....

    I can't imagine he'd use nukes. but just the fact that we're talking about it is scary as all hell.
