Respectfully, what about if Russia attacks Poland? If Putin threatens nukes if the US/NATO come to its defense, is the world supposed to appease him? There are NO good options, but allowing Putin to use nuclear blackmail will not stop him but will promote nuclear proliferation

I'm noticing more & more mainstream folks suggesting that *if* Putin uses chemical weapons, then NATO/West will fight in Ukraine. Sorry to say something unpopular, but him using (horrific!) chemical weapons wouldn't change fact that a nuclear war with Russia could end the world.

I find in unconscionable that Israel isn't standing in total solidarity with Ukraine. They haven't even imposed sanctions on Russia. If *anybody* should be unequivocally with a country standing up to a dictator trying to wipe them out, it's Israel

Ordering a coffee today... "We'll call it out when it's ready. What's your name?" "Eric" "Is that with a C or a K?" What I said: "C" What I wanted to say: "Why? Are you going to call it out differently?"

This woman, Marina Ovsyannikova, has been arrested and faces years in prison. Do any Fox News employees have 1/10th the courage of Marina? You won't even get arrested

Absolutely astonishing. During Russian Channel 1’s evening news broadcast, a woman ran onto the set with a sign: “No war…Don’t believe the propaganda. They’re lying to you here.”

There are 25+ US-funded biolabs in Ukraine which if breached would release & spread deadly pathogens to US/world. We must take action now to prevent disaster. US/Russia/Ukraine/NATO/UN/EU must implement a ceasefire now around these labs until they’re secured & pathogens destroyed

Between Covid and now Putin threatening nuclear war, I'm starting to think our world is a video game being played by an alien teenager and he's late for school. "Blorzark, I said get off that game now!" "But, Mom--" "NOW, Blorzark!" "Fine!" [hits 'Quick Destuction Mode']

If you: -- voted against impeaching Trump for trying to extort Zelensky/Ukraine -- ever praised Putin -- ever spent the 4th of July in Moscow -- called the January 6th coup attempt "legitimate political discourse" -- watch Tucker Carlson Please STFU about what to do in Ukraine

Watching videos of Ukrainian farmers stealing Russian military equipment worth tens of millions of pounds - in this case a Tor-M2 SAM system - will absolutely never get old.👇🇺🇦

This is gut wrenching to watch as a parent, but also a reminder that a lack of obvious red flags doesn't mean your child doesn't need help. Keep this family in your thoughts and prayers.
