Nobody here 'really' knows what is the situation in Ukraine, probably.
I watched sky news, looked at the websites and all I can find, basically, is that "the fight continues".
Of course, it is all quite terrible.

Here is an interesting perspective of where this is probably going, but with HUGE caveats:

https://www.newsweek.com/2022/03/11/putin-has-never-lost-war-here-how-hell-win-ukraine-1682878.html

The longer it continues, the higher is the probability that it won't stop there.
Are we in 1938? A am not sure.

Putin hasn't showed his full potential yet, I highly doubt that he's even using 1/4 of his army capacity. His real motives are still unknown, if he truly wanted to capture Kyiv, wouldn't he be more aggressive? Is he performing a show, till the real attack occurs?

It's definitely not over yet, while Putin seems to not care about any financial repercussions, he's certain that the NATO and the EU won't interfere militarily.

Cyprus, Hungary, France, Italy and Greece agreed, all eye's are on Berlin now to negotiate to figure it out.

Even Germany made the shift, instead of sending only 5000 helmets they gave the green light to send anti-tank and anti-aircraft weapons.

Lot's of countries showing solidarity sending equipment, Ukraine is getting armed to the teeth.

“At the same time, we are working flat out on how to limit the collateral damage of a disconnection from #SWIFT so that it hits the right people. What we need is a targeted and functional restriction of SWIFT."

LOL, should be fun. Much of German gold is in Fort Knox which is to say not in Fort Knox. They asked for it back a few years ago and were told they would get it in installments and not with the original serial numbers. In fact, that might be a big opportunity for Putin to land a solid blow on the US and the petrodollar.

I don't think the real assault has started yet.

Putin just sent special forces, reconnaissance units, and ad-hoc gangs of insurgents with the aim to destabilize the current government.

The real bombing has not started yet.

It is important Ukrainians destroy all major roads, bridges, airports, etc. to make it harder to carry out a full invasion.

Russia is probably getting kicked out of SWIFT.

Seems to be deleted and unlikely to be true given Turkey's position in the conflict.

Just like with Kremlin propaganda, posting clearly biased pro-Ukrainian tweets isn't the best source of news if that's what you're aiming for. It only takes a few minutes to cross check with other sources.

I know some will not align with his politics, and others will (somewhat rightly) criticize his use of the word "crypto" a little too frequently.  But this guy really does GET Bitcoin compared to his peers.  He even got the fact that it will help the power grid in Texas, and his understanding of that is fairly deep.

Anyway, I get a kick out of his delight at the nunchuck letter.

Some may say he is a politician and none of them can be trusted... also possibly valid.

Looks like China is about to snub Russia

Correct me if I'm wrong but that guy in the first photo is a head taller than the chick he's hugging yet the runt playing nazi is a dwarf that a nazi would never call arian?

Also the runt's ears stick out while the others ears do not.

But its a false argument anyway because you can't paint an entire country from a few bad apples.  If you did then every countrys people would deserve to die.

Let's be real, Ukraine is not some far-away mountainous shithole, it's right next door to Russia's European "mainland" with easy access over vast flat land. So Russians can and likely will overpower it with sheer numbers and declare victory as soon as they install a puppet in Kyiv and that is likely the propaganda photo-op they're aiming for in the short-to-medium term.

What happens after that is a bit unclear. On batshit-crazy theory I've heard from my Ukrainian colleague is that Putin would have to deport a few million people to Siberia if he wants to break the resistance and hold Ukraine for an extended period of time. But we've seen enough crazy reality over the last couple of days to make it seem less batshit now.

Sounding somber and looking tired, Zelensky went on: “Who is ready to guarantee Ukraine's accession to NATO? Honestly, everyone is afraid.”
“I asked all the partners of the state if they are with us. They are with us, but they are not ready to take us into an alliance with them,” he said.
“No matter how many conversations I had with foreign leaders, I heard a few things. The first is that we are supported. I am grateful to each state that helps us concretely, not just in words. But there is a second — we are left alone to defend our state. Who is ready to fight with us? Honestly — I do not see," Zelensky said.

"This morning, we are defending our country alone. Just like yesterday, the most powerful country in the world looked on from a distance,"

“Today I asked the 27 leaders of Europe whether Ukraine will be in NATO, I asked directly. Everyone is afraid, does not answer. And we are not afraid, we are not afraid of anything,” Zelensky said.

BREAKING: In a video conference call last night Ukraine President Zelensky told EU leaders: "This might be the last time you see me alive", two sources briefed on the call told me

Of course they weren't hanging around waiting to be killed. Most missile strikes targeted air force and air defenses, with only a couple hitting civilian targets.

But those who died did so in style: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z94QWGO3ILo

I have the above braindead asshole muted.

I  respect ALL of your rights to interact with him as you will.  But if you are on the fence about it, I respectfully ask you not quote that idiot.  Thank you.  Roach might have made more sense.

SHA 256 is excessive for a 10 minute cycle.    

Maybe it was good to add those in a progressive way, like for example in 2032 to have SHA 224, and in 2048 to have SHA 256... etc.    

...but not too much security...

'Countries' and the political doctrine shoveled out by the elites are not one and the same. I have no problems with the Russian people..nor Chinese for that matter...or anyone else really. Its the perpetuation of fear mongering and strong arm tactics by these entrenched entities that seek control and power just for the sake of that itself.

Of those 3...at least in one you can still do this and not having too much worry of disappearing or having your social score adjusted.

Hundreds arrested as shocked Russians protest Ukraine attack

Mongols, Tatars, Vikings, Teutonic knights, United Europe under Napoleon's France, United Europe under Hitler's Germany, and now United Europe under Anglo-American Empire. Russia is under sanctions for the last 1000 years. They simply do not care about sanctions when they have to defend their country.

Conclusion:
There can not be security for the Brussels Union if there is no security for the Russian Federation. If you say that you don't care about Russian red lines you just get kicked in the backside.

Ukraine lost their sovereignty in 2014 and became Anglo-American colony under Nazi rule. Putin just gives Ukraine a second chance to have a truly independent, neutral and democratic country.

why bitcoin is the weakest link among stocks, etc., though?
idk

it surely goes down fast at any sign of trouble....then recovers fast, of course.

... shit's just got real, but gonna get really real shortly.

Putin's launched surgical strikes targeting military installations across Ukraine (you know all those hundreds of millions of weapons that UK, USA, NATO just freighted into Ukraine in the last months? yes those installations)

... but the pretext has already been well-prepped with the brainwashed sheeple, they need a major excuse to crash the shite out of the living-dead zombie financial system, freeze everybody's accounts and get this "Great Reset" going for real.

... or the nukes get launched, either way hope you've made your peace with the creator because they won't give you any warning if there's incoming death and destruction, maybe 20 mins only ...
