The slaughter in Bucha has EU looking at their red line on oil and gas...

https://archive.ph/XwYW7

The government declined to comment on allegations from Polands prime minister that Germany is the main roadblock to tougher sanctions.

There is widespread outrage in Germany, and German politicians will be forced to do something, but they dont want to do something that will hurt Germany, Dirsus said. There are no good options left. Massive sanctions would do damage to Germany. But do nothing and you are complicit. (Dirsus)

Russia has demanded that unfriendly countries pay for gas in rubles, or risk getting no gas at all. You almost get the impression that they want Putin to pull the plug for them, Dirsus added. Pressure would die down and they wouldnt be responsible for all the misery.

Fake news, right?

Ukraine had security guarantees.
Look what's happened.
Other countries with security guarantees are watching what's happening to Ukraine and basically crying. Crying for Ukraine, and crying for themselves and what the slaughter in Ukraine means for them.
They are looking at their families and knowing they will be all blown to bits in their homes by the invaders.
They foolishly signed nuclear non-proliferation treaties, believing in the UN and alliances.

Send them jet planes give the brave ukes a chance Joe. You already rightfully called Putin a war criminal! A little 12 o clock high over the Kremlin would end the war in a hurry.

Hey, then we could possibly kill one war criminal and create a new one!

It is a crime to see Ukraine being destroyed innocents killed and to only seize a yacht or two and declare another useless sanction.

Huh! Too abstract. Members of both parties are now asking for more help for the Ukraine. Enough of the platitudes and walk back speeches.

Nothing, absolutely nothing will happen to Putin.

Russian soldiers are scum of the earth...torturing and murdering adults and children.

Remember, as Luee deliberately misrepresents what is going on that Luee was telling us how we should do nothing in the weeks before the invasion because there would be no invasion and Biden, et all, were jumping at shadows.

We'll watch, Bambu.

Unlike Luee, we're not hopping a flight to Poland to go fight in the war, so watching is what we are left with.

But unless Putin kills himself, I would be surprised if he did not stand trial for war crimes - it just won't be fast enough.

I too once met a girl in Central Park, but it is not much to remember. What I remember is the time John Wayne killed three men with a carbine as he was falling to the dusty street in Stagecoach, and the time the kitten found Orson Welles in the doorway in The Third Man.
