I'm not sure if they are a neonazi group — just like Ukraine having some neonazis in their army doesn't make them a nazi state (or nazi occupants as Putin now decided to call them). War criminals is what they* are — and one of the very worst out there.So, to those who entertain the idea of Putin having, at least in part, rightous motives against Nazis in Ukraine, He allegedly asked the Wagner group (most of you know whose favourite composer he was) to step in. A Neonazi group tracking a jewish president, that surely sounds like a denazificaiton operation...
This is utterly disgusting behavior and should be addressed by the EU leaders talking to Ukrainian authorities right now.
Good read here, explain why Russia invade Ukraine, and helps understand the whole situation and motives behind the invasion.

From what I've read, Ukraine told foreign students to leave Ukraine weeks ago. There are a lot of Indian students stuck there too. Now that they're having to escort people out of danger areas they're prioritizing Ukrainians which kind of makes sense. Unless they're prioritizing white Ukrainians over black Ukrainians, but I don't think that's happening here
Holy shit, you are Serbian and saying this. First one I heard who didn't say the usual 'Albanian terrorists, NATO/US bombed us cause they didn't like Serbia and wanted to make a base in Bondsteel'.

Re: Crimea.
I swear if Brexit Britain were to stage a coup in the Republic of Ireland and were then to claim possession of the territory pointing to A) the result of a sham referendum, B) mother tongue demographics of the population, and C) historical ownership of the territory, some would go along with it.
That is exactly what happened in Crimea.
Yes, this was brought to light yesterday.
They took on the full might of the Soviet Union before. I doubt they're afraid of this version of Russia they're watching in Ukraine.So Finland's PM announced they will send weapons too? Bold move considering they're not a NATO-member as of this moment.

Not gonna happen.
Unless Ukraine surrenders or gives concessions, I fear this will be a meat grinder for months, and maybe years if an insurgency mounts. Russia is not backing down I'm afraid.
We desperately need Putin to be overthrown by his circle.
It certainly looks like the plan from this video. Get yourself a nice buffer from NATO as well as take all the oil and gas reserves from Ukraine. All the other talks are just big BS.biggest issue here is the potential oil and gas reserves in Donbas and Crimea. Nobody is going to try and march an army into Russia, nato isnt going to fire rockets after russia, and i honestly dont think he really cares about the fact that Ukraine used to be part of Russian federation(at least not enough to invade it) , to me its all about the benjamins and securing Russia as the dominant gas station for Europe so it can use that as its way to stay relevant.
I have a very hard time seeing where we go from here. I mean of course a siege is terrible, but what about Putin's other military options? Urban warfare and Kyiv bombing wouldn't be any better.
At least it buys the parties involved some time to figure out where to go and to see the impact of the sanctions.
Amazing that the CMC wasn’t the closest to midnight we’ve been.Did not realise it had.
And having lived through the Cuban Missile Crisis, that felt much more serious.
Just my perception.
Can you stop posting his tweets please, I am getting worried at how much I am agreeing with him and I am starting to question who I am...
On the condition Putin is executed, the top leaders completely replaced and they begin nuclear disarmament.One has to wonder if the Oligarchs secretly approached the US/EU and offered to 'get rid' of Putin (or better, hand him over) in return for the sanctions being lifted. Would you go for it?
Front page of today‘s NYT was civilians bringing full chests of empty bottles to town centers so they could be used for Molotovs.Lots of clips about Ukrainians preparing molotovs. Whole rows and stacks of them.

Spooky.I know it is strange agreeing with Little Marco isn't it.

Especially as they are members of the EU and the EU treaties also make it mandatory for its members to support each other in case of war. It's even more clear than the NATO treaty in that regard.There is a misconception regarding non-NATO membership. Sweden and Finland are not neutral. We are not members of NATO but we are allied with NATO and have always been.
War is brutal
I think it's a better label, yeah, as they're not really defined by this ideology — they're paid guns for Putin's regime. And don't forget war criminals — that's the most important thing about them.Well it's a military group led by a Nazi with members carrying copies of My Kampf on their tablets. So if it's not a neonazi group, it's at least a group with many nazis.

Whilst I don’t doubt for a second that many are experiencing racism and prejudice, a lot of these videos appear to be in bad faith. War will after all bring out the worst of people – as well as the best. Many of the videos, however, claim to depict one thing, but show something else far more ambiguous.
Ultimately, it has to be fully expected that police and border guards will be prioritising people based on their passport, and then gender and age. Foreign student or working age men who have the relative luxury of still leaving the country will be of the lowest priority. That’s not racism, unless people are being prioritised based on race or skin colour.
Yep.From the BBC:
When it was created in 1947, the clock's hand stood at seven minutes to midnight. Since then it has changed more than 20 times, ranging from two minutes to midnight to 17 minutes before midnight in 1991.
But during the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis - considered by many analysts to be the closest the Cold War face-off between the US and the USSR came to escalating into a nuclear war - the Doomsday Clock stood still at seven minutes to midnight.
The BAS says: "The answers to this seeming anomaly are that the Doomsday Clock captures trends and takes into account the capacity of leaders and societies to respond to crises with reasoned actions to prevent nuclear holocaust.
"The Cuban Missile Crisis, for all its potential and ultimate destruction, only lasted a few weeks; however, the lessons were quickly apparent when the United States and the Soviet Union installed the first hotline between the two capitals to improve communications, and, of course, negotiated the 1963 test ban treaty, ending all atmospheric nuclear testing."
In fact, the Doomsday Clock was moved back to 12 minutes to midnight in 1963.
What?Kyiv Airlift?
Be great if they went a step ahead and banned Russian players from competing in any leagues as well. IOC did recommend banning athletes as well and not just teams.
