Russia-Ukraine: Russian Invasion of Ukraine
China and India are two of the countries that could convince Russia to back down. I too suspect that if no one does anything about Ukraine, that will let China think Taiwan is ripe for 'reunification'.

"I went in yesterday and there was a television screen, and I said, 'This is genius.' Putin declares a big portion of the Ukraine — of Ukraine. Putin declares it as independent," Trump said. "Oh, that's wonderful."
Later in that same interview, Trump said this: "Putin is now saying, 'It's independent,' a large section of Ukraine. I said, 'How smart is that?' And he's gonna go in and be a peacekeeper."

"They say, 'Trump said Putin's smart.' I mean, he's taking over a country for two dollars' worth of sanctions. I'd say that's pretty smart. He's taking over a country — really a vast, vast location, a great piece of land with a lot of people, and just walking right in," Trump told the crowd, according to a recording of the event.
Why Donald Trump can't stop praising Vladimir Putin

I wonder how PostFactum is doing.
That's exactly what I first thought of when I heard the news - I hope he and his family are safe.

Not uncommon in Taiwan though.

I wondered that back on the first page of this thread. I hope we hear from him at some point.
Edit - he last visited on Feb 4th but did not post anything

I recall you did, but he is from Liviv in the West and was in Poland last we heard from him. But he did talk about family in Odessa I think. So after last night, I was concerned some more.
Wonder how much money Trump was given to help this along. It certainly puts the ramblings of both him and fox into a new light. Awful convenient the unrest in the Western world.

Want to congratulate the National Post for not deviating from it's front page of anti-Trudeau, anti-Singh, pro-convoy op eds the day after Russia invades Ukraine.
Yup the freedumb of a few malcontents is more important than a whole country's actual freedom.

Good man. Hopefully the rest of the F1 drivers follow suit. Mazespin can crash on an empty track.
