People are organising themselves - without government intervention. Inspiring isn't it. If they can hold out for a few more days.... The problem is now mobilising and logistics for that many people and incoming against the tide of the refugees outgoing 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, this news will only make Putin more angry - and more desperate - what next? And Germany has announced a 100 billion increase in its armed forces budget. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the one thing I think is being swept under the rug a bit at the moment, though I suppose it is obvious why. We want to see Ukraine as a peaceful society, lead by a Jewish ex-comedian president who lost relatives to the holocaust and who is slowly bringing reform, democracy and anti-corruption to a fragile state, cruelly attacked by a viscous aggressor. I think that image is basically true, but the fragile state also contained violent fascist gangs financed by mafia corruption and power, who did bring violence against those they hated. War does that - and Putin's fomenting of war in the Donbas bread it violent dogs, not just on the Russian side, but on the Ukrainian side too. And now they are armed and angry and a most horrid form of natural selection is likely to mean the must ruthless survive. If you want to be liberal and pluralistic you need a strong state, or a fascist will come and hit you in the face and stamp on you. Maintaining Ukraine as a pluralistic society is going to be really hard. Putin doesn't care about that, but we should. The thugs are being empowered by what is happening. It is oh so sad. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freggyragh Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 (edited) Amazon Prime EU just bought up all the MiGs & other aircraft in the EU that Ukrainian pilots know how to fly - donated them to the EU & they've been donated straight to Ukraine. Should be in the air now, or very soon. Edited to say: Not sure about the Amazon donation - seems like the money maybe coming from the EU itself.

Freggyragh Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 (edited) We all thought China had its eyes on Taiwan. How about if what they were really planning for was what they've always wanted - the Russian Far East?
