AAAAAAA

Work your fox magic and bring us back Gorbachev, or this will knot end well. :V
I will try.

Stay safe Max, don't let yourself be mobilized into the army and sent to the front as meat shield.

If I were a Russian within conscription age, I would go into hiding or flee the country like, right now.
I am female, I won't get drafted and I'm sure as hell not volunteering.

Honestly this probably won't end in nuclear war but it's possible and the thought is scary.

I thought the Russian army did not make a difference between the sexes?

Brief scare that Moldova might've been under attack, evidently cause was hearing impacts over the border.

Kyiv finally sounding air raid sirens. Also I was literally today years old when I learned of the Kiev/Kyiv spelling split.

Well Moldova’s got Transnistria and Russia could easily decide to ‘liberate’ that part of the country very soon

So a thonk comes to mind. During WWII Germany's invasion of the USSR had a fun little diversion to attack the Ukraine to try and secure oil fields, because Nazi Germany basically couldn't do logistics. Aside from the obvious desire to fuck with NATO, what're the odds that Russia has just out-murrica'd us as one of its secondary objectives...

Putin announced that Russia is conducting a military operation to 'demilitarize and denazificate Ukraine'
Who will do that to Russia. More military and more nazis, I bet.

Speaking of the "bring back Gorbachev" meme, I wonder what his take is on this. He's expressed both anti-Putin and anti-NATO opinions, so I can see his thoughts on it being interdasting.

Russian troops have landed in Odessa.
Seems to be conflicting reports on that one, actually.

One thing to remember is that reliable information is going to be pretty damn sparse for a while for the wider world. Too much crap being thrown around by cyberattacks and psyop work.

Ukrainian military has said the Odessa landing was false, but the troops (possibly both RU and Belarus?) from the north is true. And pretty much everything else.

Last time I checked women could just volunteer (almost nobody does).

It feels so strange and sad to see an overt land grab war between large countries in modern Europe. It seems like something out of the 19th century.
