Reparations for Ukrain

I've been thinking about this for a few days. After Russia departs Ukraine, as I believe one day they will, can Russia be forced to pay reparations to Ukraine? Probably NATO will pony up funds to help clear out the bomb debris and rebuild some infrastructure and housing. But is there any way to force Russia to pay any reparations to Ukraine?

Your thoughts please.

Bullies on parade

that's what it was. A bunch of god damned bullies and a mean girl trying their best to make KJB cry. Trying their best to label her as a pedaphile lover and sex abuser apologist. Labeling her with the most vile name calling possible. Because ya know, she's black and a woman and nominated by Biden.

Dr Strangelove

thinking about this Kubrick movie today and the complete absurdity of war. Greatest anti-war movie ever made. My favorite scene is a fist fight between the Russian ambassador and a US general in the war room of the White House, and the President says, "You can't fight in here. This is the War Room!"

of course the most famous scene is when Maj Kong (Slim Pickens) rides the bomb.
