I agree, Putin is the fault guy to start this war. Russian people can decide how and when this war will end.

"Super modern" military equipment is on the way from the United States and Britain, says Sergiy Korsunsky, Ukraine's ambassador to Japan. https://www.usnews.com/news/world/articles/2022-03-31/ukraine-will-soon-be-able-to-better-protect-its-skies-envoy-to-japan The long range missiles dominated by the Russian forces over Ukrainian sky will tip over to the Ukrainian side soon, great news. Ukrainian forces will be capable of shooting down Russian cruise missiles with the "super modern" equipment.
terrific news europa
ukraine needs to achieve at least a stalemate and truce with an end to hostilities , including cyber , for multiple reasons but the most important to the american consumer is that sanctions would sooner or later relax , the markets would stabilize then heat up again , and our inflation will receed somewhat
if russia wins its total chaos and even more sanctions and more inflation to us we could expect gas prices to rise much higher assuming putin doesnt start a nuclear war
that dude is almost as dangerous & looney tunes as trump so it could happen
then gas prices will b the least of any concern

Aussies' aid is on the way to Ukrainian forces as well. Bushmasters, armored vehicles will be sent by C-17 Globemaster, says Scott Morrison, Prime Minister of Australia, per AP News.
The Western countries have united and determined to support Ukraine by defeating Vladimir Putin's invasion in which Donald J. Trump has called genius.

Putin and Ukrainian president scheduled a sit down soon to end the conflict in Ukraine.
Ukrainian negotiator David Arakhamia, who told Ukrainian television on Saturday that the preliminary agreement between the two countries was sufficient grounds for Zelensky and Putin to speak, according to Reuters.
“Unfortunately, I don’t share Arakhamia’s optimism,” Medinsky said, according to the news wire. “Moreover, Ukrainian diplomatic and military experts lag far behind on confirming even those agreements which were already reached at the political level on the draft text.”

Some more anti tank weaponry are or on the way to the Ukrainian forces, 10 anti tank systems for every Russian tank, says Tony Blinken, Secretary of State.*
10 for 1, it appears that the West has vowed to pulverize Russian tanks in this war.

No, the West has vowed to pad the pockets of defense contractors. This vow has existed for quite some time.
I don't watch much new but I was at a friend's house this past week who constantly watches the news. I saw Zalensky asking for 500 javelins and 500 stingers a day. So I googled the price of these weapons systems. It's insanity. Most wars, most skirmishes, of which there are several involving the US at any given time that aren't covered by the media, most are to accomplish two things. Regime changes and funneling tax dollars, unchecked, into the pockets of a select few.

That is over 100 million dollars per day to defense contractors and I am counting only javelin missiles not the complete system. And the stingers.

Reports have Bucha, Ukraine, civilians been executed and mass grave found.
Onto the killings of Ukrainian civilians at Bucha by the Russian military, whether if it is genocide. Here is what Jens Stoltenberg, NATO Secretary-General, has to say earlier this morning:
“It is also extremely important that the International Criminal Court has opened an investigation into potential war crimes in Ukraine and that all facts are brought on the table, to the table, and that those responsible are held accountable,”*

Russia has requested that the United Nations Security Council convene on Monday to discuss what it called a "provocation by Ukrainian radicals" in the town of Bucha after Kyiv accused Russian troops of killing civilians there.

Yep. And I doubt the US is saying, "Hey, you need to be conservative with your launchers." So we're probably sending tons of them tons of complete systems. They have been affective but geez, it's just shines a light on how inflated our defense spending is. I'm all for outfitting our men and women with whatever they need, regardless of cost but giving Ukraine 100 million dollars in missiles a day just exposes to issues.
1. There's no way in hell these weapons systems are actually that expensive to manufacture.
2. It's fucking costly to be the world police. That money would be better spent here in the home.

Execution of civilians is a war crime. Putin needs to be held accountable. A Russian needs to stand up & take this guy out! You will become an immediate hero to the world.

aren't you the same guy who said a drone strike on 10 civilian family members in Afghanistan was " collateral damage".

These acts are now creating a terrorist element Putin has been railing of for months now. This massacre is tipping normal civilians into a depth of hell that few come back to decency in lives.
Putin has created the monster he fears go figure.
war brings out the worst tendencies in the human condition. This region has been completely destabilized from any form of peaceful governance.
The repercussions of this conflict will go through history as the future of this once peaceful prosperous farming communities now have a tradgic stain of injustice.
