Ukraine should've surrendered the second Russian military crossed the border.
But then the Russian rape hordes would've struck.
Tough living in Ukraine, Russia f's you over one way or the other.
Ukraine should never have trusted anyone and should never have given up its nukes.

If they have medals to cowards, you'd be first on line.

Your second sentence is why your first sentence is bullshit.

And your last sentence assumes they had the codes to launch the nukes, which they did not.

mmm, live *coward* who lives to fight another day...or dead hero, gone forever, no use to anyone, including his family or future resistance. [refer France WW2.]

Unarmed civilians V Russian tanks, bombs/missiles...civilians are losing.
Poorly armed Ukrainian troops v Russian [Russia asked China for military aid] tanks, bombs/missiles...Ukrainian troops are losing, Putin is just turning the whole country into rubble one building, one town, one city at a time.

Dead heroes everywhere, as the whole country is obliterated.

Oleksandr and his brother Dmytro are loading their parents, wives and children onto a bus to Poland. This family has already been through hell.
They all come from Kharkiv, a city under siege after weeks of bombardment by Russian air strikes.

"The whole district is razed to the ground. Whole apartment complexes [are destroyed]. It's impossible to explain,"

Bambu, you need to be strong. like the Knights Templar, and like Cosa Nostra. Australia needs to be strong like Long Island, and like Anaheim, and like New York City, and like Hollywood.

Do not be afraid, but instead let us work together to remove Putin. Now. A stitch in time saves 9. It will only get worse.

The world needs heroes to remove Putin, NOW.

Salute,

Tony V.

I already responded to the first half of this.

Hirohito did not require Hitler.

Indeed.
Russians prepared to die to make it happen.

Australia needs to stop buying "made in China"...everything from food to cars....get nuclear weapons and tell the people in China they'll all be dead if they attack.

Tony, apparently this war is being encouraged by the Patriarch of the Russian Orthodox Church, who sees this as somewhat of a holy war to reunite his church and his people.

Cornelius Vanderbilt was quite a guy, there was an American who went to Central America and he declared himself President of a country down there and started doing bad things, so Vanderbilt put together a private army and he went down to Central America and he removed the bad buy.

We need a guy like Vanderbilt right now to go remove Putin.

Instead of sitting here watching Putin bomb children's hospitals, someone needs to take the fight to Moscow and kill Putin.

And Bambu, we need to have China for our partner, we need to be allies with China. We need to have peace and trade with China.

And Josh, the whole situation is complicated, but on the issue of the Churches, Pope Francis is a great man of peace, and the President of Ukraine is Jewish. And Pope Francis has allies in Russia, with whom he is pleading for help to make peace.

Salute,

Tony V.

Right now would be a good time to send Vice President Kamala Harris to China, to make sure that everything is cool as we remove Putin. We need for China to be on the side of human decency. We need to send Kamala to make sure that we can have peace and trade with China as Putin is removed.

Salute,

I do not think coal powered missiles can cross that much ocean. I do not think China thinks so either.
