Ukraine has a history of courting fascism.

It is more about anti-Russia than courting fascism. I think Ukraine is a classical case of democracy gone wrong. This is a country with two sizeable populations that hate each other. Without making both sides feel safe and protected by the government, democracy only becomes a tool for the majority to oppress the minority, which has a strong backing in a neighboring country. Internal wars also attract external wars.

Can the US and the west stop Russia from invading Ukraine with sanctions? No chance, the threats, and bullying do not work with Russians. so what are the options available to the Nato and US?

Did I say I support or agree with an invasion of a sovereign nation? And so what if I was, do I not enjoy freedom of expression? Or is that only a privilege if you tow the line?

Supplying weapons. Question is will Biden keep on doing it.

The interruption of Russia's internet could produce cataspheric consequences, especially on blockchain networks.

Russian submarines may also 'accidentally' break some cables under the Atlantic.

The one on the left looks more Russian.

But also Russian.

I am sure the one on the right is from some ethnicity from the Caucasus. Russia is a vast country with many ethnic groups.
