He's not gonna do shit just like Obama did nothing about Crimea. Which might be for the better for everyone except Ukraine and Russians. 

[Rorman Nockwell 56,812]

There have been reports of bombings in Kyiv and other cities.

Very very bad. Sending thoughts to any users in the region <3

I have spent quite a lot of time in Russia and I have a lot of Russian, Belarusian and Ukrainian friends and I'm very scared for all of them rn

If the Ukraine would allow the separatist regions to leave and be independent or join Russia, this would not be happening. Also fuck Zelensky.

Sis it is way more complicated than that

Innocent people are gonna get killed (and have been killed) just because one guy has nostalgia for an era gone by

*deep breaths* everything is going to be fine everything will be fine

 

Spoiler

but just in case

his dreams of a slavic empire are truly disturbing in the 21st century. the entire notion of isolationist empires were done away with after ww1/2 BC they lead to more wars rip

It's not just the whims of one guy, though. Many in the DPR and LPR want to either join Russia or be on their own. They are actively fleeing into Russia as we speak.

You can't just invade a sovereign nation because many of your citizens live there. These people used to all belong to the same country and there are many Russians in Ukraine, and vice versa.

It'd be like New Zealand saying they're going to annex part of Australia because something like 600,000 New Zealanders live here. It's the same level of unacceptable.

And I mean, it's not just about eastern Ukraine now - it's about all of Ukraine.

I've literally just woken up to this. Putin isn't scared of sanctions or half baked threats. He's gotten away with violating the sovereignty of other countries and invading before. He won't stop BC he knows damn full well the likes of my country (UK) won't do anything meaningful to stop him. Like seizing all Russian oligarchs assets, money, properties etc and not giving them back at all.

THIS is what scares me... he is on a war path... it seems he does not care what the ramifications are?  I feel so bad for the people In Ukraine ... 

 

also Putin saying the western world will see "consequences greater than any you've faced in history" if we try to stop gives me chills .... like what do they have ??? Grid control ? satellite control?

He has a choke hold on Europe on Fossil Fuels such as Gas, Oil etc He can for shits and giggles in some countries plunge them into huge blackouts. Germany heavily relies on Russia for instance.

Nukes and probably all sorts of biological shit

Fuck politics man

He's not thinking about the possible consequences for his own people, either

 

[ChaoticLipster 24,628]

My anxiety is through the roof, are all going to die in nuclear war? 😓

I'm watching the news, some reporters can hear sirens & explosions in Kyiv.

This world is so messed up... for the love of god...

Right, like nobody would retaliate and the US are probably far more advanced 

[American Whore 51,483]

i've been watching this situation worsen and worsen, but didn't wanna make a thread about it. idk, it's just so sad what's happening. And then Pootey keeps trying to send threats to the rest of the world. What I don't understand is why nobody else threatens him. Like.... i mean, he can say what he wants but nobody else can?

 

idk, it's just sad. sanctions will hurt the really rich in russia, but it's not going to be enough to make them back off. and their economy is already shit, so it'll only hurt the poor even worse. and the worst part is china is watching this shit go down and how nobody is backing up ukraine, that means they can go for taiwan. same for north korea, the us has troops in south korea, but not as much as we used to.

 

this is hitler level shit. they have a kill list of ukrainians and they want to send them to camps too. what does this mean for other neighboring countries? will they face the same fate? fuck.
