Germany to send thousands of weapons to Ukraine in major reversal
Germany had previously opposed arming Ukraine due to its "historical responsibilities."

From what I understand these guys are walking war crimes. I hope they all die.
In today's American political climate...Kennedy would most likely be considered a Republican!
Hopefully his cocky ass kids who appeared behind him in the bad propaganda knockoff from the Movie 300 are next.
Reports coming out that Ukraine destroyed all train tracks coming into country from Russia. Reports say Russians plans utilizes rail support for troop support.
ABC News :
The White House announced further sanctions on Russia Saturday evening.
The U.S., along with the European Commission, France, Germany, Italy, the United Kingdom and Canada, are disconnecting some Russian banks from the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication (SWIFT) banking network and are “imposing restrictive measures that will prevent the Russian Central Bank from deploying its international reserves in ways that undermine the impact of our sanctions," the White House said.
“This will ensure that these banks are disconnected from the international financial system and harm their ability to operate globally,”
The White House added, "We commit to taking measures to limit the sale of citizenship -- so called golden passports -- that let wealthy Russians connected to the Russian government become citizens of our countries and gain access to our financial systems."
The U.S. will also launch a trans-Atlantic task force “that will ensure the effective implementation of our financial sanctions by identifying and freezing the assets of sanctioned individuals and companies that exist within our jurisdictions.”
The Biden administration said it's also upping the fight against disinformation and “other forms of hybrid warfare.”

Exactly same strategy as WW2 Wehrmacht during Operation Barbarosa push into former-USSR. Good for Ukraine. Mess all Ivan's plans up.
This war is exposing what people who watched Russia's invasion of Georgia in 2008 learned: Russia is a paper tiger with nukes. It has to get on Putin's last nerve that his army hasn't bull rushed through Ukraine.
Jk some can’t escape politics. This is so much bigger than our current political differences.
Really a sick and twisted, f'ed up sentiment. Good to know what kind of person you are, though.
Numbers look great for Ukraine. We'll find out 2 or 3 years from now what the real numbers are.
probably because twitter doesn't allow videos of dead bodies. would you like to see blown up legs, and bodies littered with bullet holes?
“A senior U.S. official told ABC News they've heard a Russian soldier on a radio call saying, “We don’t know who to shoot -- they all look like us.”
The official also said some Russian forces are disoriented, realizing the battles against Ukrainians are harder than they thought.”

No, I just thought it was odd that in the last few days we’ve seen videos of Russian vehicles and troops moving in Ukraine.
It could be because civilians are in hiding, it could mean the Russians are gone, or it could mean the Ukrainians are not faring as well as we’re being told.
I was hoping someone would post some info on here.
I hope the casualties to both sides are minimal and that these strategic bombings end soon. It's a really strange strategy, if this IS an invasion, to do things the way Rusia has been doing things. Makes no sense as it is right now
"Old man" Reagan was younger when he left office than Biden was when he entered office. Reagan was suspected/accused of early senility before he left office. Biden is suspected by a lot of people of early senility with nearly three years left in office.
No, he does not, at least in person. It has been over 50 years and I still have nightmares over the things I saw.
Reagan was indeed slipping mentally by the time he left office. That said, he was still mentally sharper than Joe is right now…. That’s my opinion anyway.
I hope that Russia suffers maximum casualties so as to deter future aggression. I am on Ukraine side. That is what kind of person I am.
You can speak for yourself as to what kind of person you are.
Facts are just that. Facts.
Although the US has had 56 accidents and 99 worldwide, I'm actually a proponent of nuclear. Why? Because it can be done safely.
But deaths from radiation are years in the making. Many from thyroid cancer.
No sht. I'm not surprised you don't value human life unless it agrees with your politics. It wasn't a revelation to see your post. I just stated a fact. The Russian soldiers are just following orders. Only ignorant fks think they are "bad guys" and "deserving of death" simply because the news tells you they are.
You know nothing about this conflict right now except what the media has told you and yet you hope 35k people die. You're part of the problem and have no clue. Congrats
You are confused.. I have (and will) never ask your permission.

If this is an invasion or not, I don't want it to linger. Civilians will also die the longer this continues. My hope is that it is just a statement by Russia and that it ends with specific corporate targets being taken out rather than it being an invasion. As it stands, doesn't look like a well-planned invasion, and I doubt Russia would be this haphazard in planning or execution of one.
This seems more like someone focused on taking out perceived threats within Ukraine and keeping casualties and collateral damage to a minimum. Guess we'll find out down the road a pace.

"Knocking certain banks off of Swift".
The only banks that really hurt him are the ones that process Oil and Natural Gas trades and this tells me they didn't do that or they would have made sure to announce it loudly.

This is most definitely an invasion. However, it’s unscriptable due to many errors/reservations on the part of Russia leaders.
yeah i can see that. Its worth noting that Russia has a mobile cremator. They're probably burning the dead.
