The best way I have heard it put is that it is better to have strong friends than weak enemies.
This might be a little tougher than Putin thought...

Just so terribly sad how much weaker the Ukrainian army gets with all these donations and support from military allies, ain't it?
👀
My advice for this thread is to just ignore the trolls. 99% of the world agrees with you, and the other 1% probably does as well secretly.
You can point directly to weapons, tech, training, etc that makes urkraine stronger. You cant do that for the US. Like I said, the US is the rising tide for others, but the US hasnt risen. Dont be daft.
Putin Ally Dies After Falling Down Stairs on Day of Russia Mobilization
The former head of the Moscow Aviation Institute has died after falling down "several flights of stairs," the institute has reported.

To me the best thing about Putin allies dropping dead is that it proves how strong the resistance is growing.

"It's panicking on the Russian side... After the announcement of the mobilization of 300,000 reservists to fight in #Ukraine , the Russians try to leave the country via Finland, creating huge traffic jams at the border."

I'm sure the goons' orders are "find five protestors each to send to the front, or YOU go to the front"...
More on the attempted exodus-should the other nations re-open borders for military age men and their families?
I'm surprised Finland hasn't shut down its borders with Russia.

Hope they hit a major ship or sub. First known use of these in combat?
Time for the Russian military to grow a pair and remove the madman.
"Stoltenberg said that members of the alliance had provided unprecedented support to Ukraine and the NATO allies now needed to replenish their stocks of weapons and ammunition.
As NATO was prepared for a "long haul" in dealing with Putin it was now in close dialogue with the defense industry to build back its stocks of materiel."

NATO chief calls Putin's Ukraine escalation 'dangerous and reckless'
NATO chief said Putin's moves demonstrated ‘that the war is not going according to his plans,’ Russian troops were ill-equipped and lacked proper command and control, and that it was clear that the Russian president had made ‘a big miscalculation’

Putin seems to be as insulated and as naive as Hitler in his final days in the fuhrer bunker.
too bad the nukes are the only thing keeping him alive.

Flights abroad sell out following Putin’s partial mobilization.
Russian airlines have stopped selling tickets to Russian men aged 18 to 65 unless they can provide evidence of approval to travel from the Ministry of Defense.All flights from Russia to available foreign destinations were sold out Wednesday after President Vladimir Putin declared a “partial” mobilization of the country’s 25 million reservists.
Flights from Moscow to the capitals of Georgia, Turkey and Armenia — which do not require visas for Russians — for Sept. 21 were unavailable within minutes of Putin’s announcement, according to Russia’s top travel planning website aviasales.ru.
By noon Moscow time, direct flights from Moscow to Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan had also stopped showing up on the website.

No, let them become fertilzer.*
*edited to note I did not see "and their families" before. I am obviously not for killing kids. But if there are 300K former soldiers with combat experience being called up, they could stay in Russia and do the right thing, protest, and/or help put pressure for Russia to pull out of Ukraine. If they will not do the right thing, it appears they either have the choice of fleeing the country or being sent to die. Given those options, I would like to see them be eliminated, rather than chum the waters for war so long as it was not them being sent to die.

Why shut them down. Bring them in. Every Russian not in Russia is another Russian they can't draft and force to fight.
After this war is over, they are also then still around to foment future wars and imperial efforts, so long as it is not their asses on the line.
WOB (tenants). @torbee this one got you in the past too IIRC... 😃
"After the declaration of mobilization in Russia, Russian citizens and Russian police took to the streets"
Includes those threatened with execution?
You want to know how you are a bad actor? The Saudi Crown prince is a mediator and messenger of peace.
Russia is going to see a crazy brain drain where anyone of any means gets out the country. Additionally, their demographic crisis is only going to get worse. Their rapidly aging population (high mortality rates, low birth rates) will rapidly age even more as young men get cut down or leave the country. Additionally, the women to men ratio is going to get worse than it already is. Russia is going to look completely different in 10 years.
They might take some good people down with them too.
Plus there is no way of determining who among them has propped up the regime and who has not.
I suppose the upshot is that desperate degenerates will have a greater selection of Russian mail order brides.
How did Japan respond?
If Ukraine pushes into Crimea, and Putin declares it an attack on Russia and nukes Lviv and says Kiev will be next if it doesn't stop, does the West pressure Ukraine to stop, or do we decide to measure the final dead in millions, 10s of millions, or 100s of millions?
When Ukraine succeeds in liberating the west bank of the Dnepr I'm hoping we see moves toward peace instead of more escalation.
Future stops on the escalation train aren't good.
Not sure protesting is the best way to go about this in a dictatorship. They need to burn down their local recruiting offices, hack the registar, do whatever they can do to prevent the military from rounding up military aged men.
I think we both know that NATO will not bow to Putin, nor should they. That would only make him even more dangerous.
I figured with the tensions between Russia and Finland and with the things Russia has said they want to do to Finland, it seemed plausible that that country wouldn't want anything to do with allowing hundreds and thousands of them in their borders.
