That might be a container issue as a lot of the shipping companies won’t deal with Russia now.
This might be a little tougher than Putin thought...

No
And even if this were true, what does this make the current GOP, which has moved even further to the right?
Yep: fascists and Nazis (apparently), because those are the rallies you always see those flags being displayed prominently...

Interesting read on the WHY of Russian war crimes:
Some have attempted to argue that Russian culture is somehow to blame for the crimes Russia’s military has committed, and although this is inaccurate and perhaps even bigoted, it is fair to say that Russia’s military culture and organization is to blame for the crimes in Ukraine—and for the fact that Russia’s military seems to commit similar crimes in every conflict it fights.

The Russian Military Has Descended Into Inhumanity
The brutal war crimes being documented in Ukraine are a warning Americans should heed.
I don't believe I've posted to put American troops in Ukraine, which is what the question posted to JP was...

Gee, sounds a lot like a certain poster's repetitive talking points in this very thread, doesn't it?
Practically, this means that Stand Together supports unilaterally abandoning nearly all of the economic sanctions imposed on Russia since the invasion of Crimea in 2014. Anything else, Caldwell argues, risks escalation "into a larger conflict between a nuclear-armed Russia and the United States."

We have been intentionally not reporting Ukraine's losses. I am curious as to how many planes/tanks they started with (It can't be near the numbers that Russia has had). So every loss of there's has had to have been bigger. I do know that they've essentially only had a few aircraft left for any air support. I really really wish we'd provide them with some more offensive armaments. I'm not worried about Russia escalating to nuclear if we give them more weapons, honestly I'm not even worried about them escalating if we come in and provide air support at lest over western Ukraine. The only place I see it being a concern is if we actually strike in Russia. I'm not even certain they'd get that upset if we attacked their troops in Ukraine. I think their redline would be Russia itself.

Excellent essay:
FTA:
The suffering and devastation in Ukraine is far from over as Mr Putin's strategic aims have not changed. Negotiations at gunpoint offer no magic formula for avoiding another war and peace at any price does not mean that atrocities will end. Here I am speaking from the experience of my own country. For Estonia and many others after the second world war, peace meant the beginning of the Soviet occupation with its huge human cost. It brought renewed suffering through mass killings, repressions, mass deportations and other crimes against humanity.
Estonia’s experience reminds us that our first focus today must be on how to help Ukraine free itself from occupying forces, restore its territorial integrity and stop Russian aggression. I cannot help but admire the brave fight Volodymyr Zelensky is leading and the extremely difficult choices he faces.
The past three of Mr Putin’s wars illustrate why he must not win this one and why Moscow cannot be allowed to pretend that it has gained anything in the process. We have let Mr Putin get away with this aggression several times before. We can’t let him get away with it again now. Were that to happen, his appetite would only grow, and more atrocities and more human suffering would follow.
The Ukrainian crisis has made it once again crystal-clear why countries in central and eastern Europe, after breaking free from Soviet occupation, quickly asked to join NATO. The alliance doesn’t exist to threaten Russia: it is for defence. It exists to keep tens of millions from being enslaved and slaughtered by dictators. And it is the actions of the Soviet Union, and later Russia, that explain why so many countries wanted to join NATO. Those blaming it for “expansion” and “escalation” succumb to the very imperial ideology and language pursued by the Kremlin. These run counter to the principles of state sovereignty and democracy.

Good thread. Read to the end. He is confident that UKR is ready

Except it’s a policy that is enforced by the person in the Oval Office. And Putin knows that. Hell, 3 years from now the US may not even be a NATO member.We have made it clear on how we’d respond to an attack on a NATO member.
Biden: U.S. Commitment to NATO’s Article 5 Is Ironclad
WASHINGTON—President Biden reiterated the U.S. commitment to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization’s Article 5, which says an attack on one member of the alliance is an attack on all and compels allies to come to each others’ aid. “As I said yesterday, the United States will defend every inch of Nwww.wsj.com
We made it clear before Russia attacked Ukraine we wouldn’t respond militarily.
Biden tells U.S. citizens to leave Ukraine, saying military wouldn't rescue them
"That's a world war — when Americans and Russians start shooting at one another, we're in a very different world than we've ever been in," President Biden said.www.npr.org
It’s as simple as that.

Just goes to show that anti-tank warfare doesn’t have to have tanks to be successful. And Ukraine is getting more tanks anyway.
And when is the last time we’ve seen more combatants than civilians dying in a war? Certainly not since WW1.
The question is WHERE do you have to import the fuel rods from?
Until we can get going with renewables completely, Nuclear provides for a good stop gap source.
That makes no sense whatsoever.

No idea where the rods are made but most uranium is mined from Kazakhstan. With Canada and Australia also producing quite a bit from what I remember. Pretty sure Colorado has quite a bit, but not sure how active the mining is for it.

Granted I don't know too much about Kazakhstan but the rest of those countries don't sound too dangerous.
I'd rather be dependent upon Canada and Australia for my energy needs than Russia, the middle east, and China.
So he's basically making all the same mistakes as Hitler including taking direct command of the war itself.
Scholz is a pretty left wing dude. And to be left wing in Germany makes our left wing look reactionary. Doesn’t surprise me at all.
Hilarious. Internal ammo explosion launches Russian tank crew to safety😂😂.
Ideology doesn't matter much when you are on Putin's payroll. That was a problem with his two most recent predecessors and I suspect what is driving some of his recent decisions.
