However, if my other plans allow it. I'm going to go out this summer and teach English.
Worth a read.SWIFT - Its pretty telling that the only real sanction that would punish Russia has not been implemented till now it would seem. Germany is said to be investigating ways of banning “certain Russian banks” from SWIFT so as not to cause stress to the global financial system.
Implementing this would certainly be a huge problem for Russia.
Chechens joining Russian forces….,Nice trip out east, all expenses paid...
- Also this morning, Zelensky announced that Ukraine is setting up an "international" legion of volunteers for foreigners wishing to join the Ukrainian army in its fight against Russian forces
I have friends from, friends who have lived in, and many colleagues in Ukraine. We have an office in a town about 50km from Ukraine's eastern border with Russia and which now contains Russian soldiers. God knows what will happen to our friends and colleagues there, but they are resilient, determined and doing their best in any way they can. As we are for them, but this feeling of immense impotence is horrible.If you can make that happen that would be an amazing thing to do.
I don’t have any connection with Ukraine and don’t even know any Ukrainians personally, but I feel highly motivated to do something.
I have dontated money (let’s hope that get to the right place) so at least I feel I have done something as I won’t be joining their new foreign legion.
But looking ahead when this ends, there will be many more options to help and I will look to get involved.
Based on what I can see and read it appears more like an invasion carried out in no small part by people who are a bit confused about what's going on, ordered by an isolated, deeply paranoid man who for the last two years has barely had any human contact other than with simpering, terrified yes-men.Does anyone else think it doesn't look or feel like a proper invasion , there are videos of columns of destroyed russian vehicles , tanks with no fuel , kids in Russian uniforms doing their national service who are quite surprised at where they are because they told they were going on exercise (according to some reports)
The video where some old guy offered to tow their tank back to Russia was full of kids .
Where's the russian air force
There are large demonstrations in many russian cities , the government has told Russians America is the aggressor for decades but now they have social media they can see it's Russia and they're not happy.
Belarus will fold when Putin goes. I sincerely hope you're right. Putin's now reaching for the nukes. Full Tonto to quote Biden.This will (should!!) be the end of Putin, Russia has very little Allies left, barring Belarus and China

It probably feels very much like an invasion to Ukraine, though.
If that is a verified photo that is a stark reflection of how the world has been turned on its head this week.Dynamo Kiev Football Team... apparently, if true very sobering while I watch the carabao cup final. View attachment 97211
Sadly this is the thing we should all worry about, easy tj say it won’t escalate, but we are dealing with a guy who won’t back down, a guy who has threatened the world with his nuclear capability and dusted down his intercontinental nuclear warheads.he couldn't back down because that would make him look weak.
I know from experience you can't say that, Facebook said so....Sadly this is the thing we should all worry about, easy tj say it won’t escalate, but we are dealing with a guy who won’t back down, a guy who has threatened the world with his nuclear capability and dusted down his intercontinental nuclear warheads.
Someone needs to put a gun to his temple and pull the trigger …….
Dunno just got a few likes when I asked a red cross appeal how much to send a bullet to Putin...I know from experience you can't say that, Facebook said so....
