President Joe Biden

1 hour

The attack on a Ukrainian train station is yet another horrific atrocity committed by Russia, striking civilians who were trying to evacuate and reach safety.

We will continue our security assistance and weapons deliveries to help Ukraine defend their country. And, together with our allies and partners, we will support efforts to investigate this attack as we document the actions of Russia and hold them accountable.

-----------

We need to always see the big picture, and we need to find out who our allies are in Russia who we can support after Putin is removed. We need to plan for a time of peace and prosperity after Putin is removed. We need to have allies who want peace and prosperity.

Salute,

Tony V.

Yep.  When I saw California Split back in the seventies, I thought it seemed like this long improv and didn't much connect (but the piccolo player bit was audacious and I admired Gould for it).  Seeing it decades later, I appreciated it more.  A lot of gambling movies don't seem real, and make me grit me teeth (not a fan of gambling), but I think Altman got it right.

Putin is insanely evil. He must be replaced. Everyone must learn from history. No place in the 21st century for war mongering narcissists.

Fox 11 Los Angeles

Yesterday

The Canadian government is under pressure to cool an overheated market after prices climbed by more than 20% last year, while rental rates have also been rising.

--------------

Canada is going to get a flood of immigrants from Ukraine and from Russia, I doubt relief is in sight for real estate prices in Canada, prices are just going to keep going up as more people flow in.

Salute,

Lend-lease just unanimously passed the Senate. Ukraine is getting keys to a large part of the United States stockpile. Logistics has a couple of weeks to spin up while Congress is out of session. In the meantime, Ukraine is still unpacking new weapons and supplies including repairing and repurposing stuff Russia has abandoned.

It is interesting how much Putin is borrowing from Cheney and Rumsfeld. He has simply substituted Nazis for Middle Eastern Terrorists to both rally his pubic and excuse the behavior of his soldiers.

Just watch this interview on DW. It is incredible

Hopefully Putin and whatever follows him do not have our staying power. They definitely do not have our competence or restraint on the ground.

European countries should be made take all the refugees from Ukraine, after all it was said countries that sucked up to Russia/Putin.
Canadians should not have to suffer.

I wonder sometimes if Putin is rallying his Russian base or just confusing many of them to the point of paralysis.  They have no idea what to believe.

Billions for defense, an accident to crazy Putin like a drone missile falling on his head would raise the prestige of the US significantly.
