Imagine the US sending "Death Notices" to Japanese families in WW2.

Or the Germans sending "Death Notices" to Americans in WW2.

To trigger redeployment from the Donbas.

Keep on going. Start shelling Belgorod. Occupy Russian territory.

"You're occupying Russian soil!"

"You say that Ukrainians and Russians are one people. We're liberating occupied Rusian--Ukrainian--territory for the capital of Rus'. Kyiv. Stop being rebellious, Putin--you say that Kyiv is your capital. obey! We're the government that's been in charge of the capital of Kyivan Rus' for 30 years. What's your problem?"

Putin and Russia are going to regret this.

The whole world is watching. You and Don made a huge mistake. Huge!

had Trump gotten back into office somehow. Ukraine would be half-destroyed now and half of this country wouldn’t have cared.

If tfg guy was still in office half the world would be destroyed.

That includes what he has already accomplished here. Rights for all are gone, unless you are a white supremacist. I am not sure we are going to survive and I am usually a positive person. We lost the high court. I am not sure we will survive their rulings.

I just don't know anymore. I don't know.

I hope Putin, or his successor makes peace, chalk it up to lessons learned. But I fear it will continue, with Russia lobbing missiles from hundreds of miles away. And there’s plenty of ground fighting still going on.
