I'll post what's happening as it comes through for purposes of posterity. Doubt the veracity of what is posted here. Having lived through the Iraq war, I am sure that the vast majority of what gets reported will turn out to be either misinformation or outright ********. Posting because a lot of non-Australia members will be asleep, now. I'll report as much as I can.

So far the g****vine is:

Russia has indeed embarked on a full scale invasion of Ukraine. Air attacks, and ground forces. There has been at least one missile strike, there have been front-line Ukranian casualities ( have seen video, cannot post it here, too graphic).

Footage of an airstrike hitting Lutsk:

Belarus has thrown in with Russia/is issuing support.
Reports of Ukrainian air defence having shot down multiple Russian planes, either drones or fighters. 


Some other info:

What gets me about this whole thing is that Russian pretexts have not evolved in 30 years. The first international conference I ever worked on was keynoted by a speaker on Russia's continuing military presence in Uzbekistan. The Russian line was that the military was necessary to protect Russians in the Former Soviet Republic. This is precisely the rationale that Putin is claiming.

This was in 1994.

Yeah, I'm old.

Ask the despot.
Ask the poet.
Ask the painter.
Ask the scientist.
Ask the tyrant.
Ask the dictator.
Ask the executive.
Ask the President.
Ask the Prime minister.
Ask the ****star.
Ask the tiger.
Ask the rapper.
Ask the rocker.

She'd probably just fly into the stratosphere, trailing posie petals, snatch them up mid-flight,  briefly use them as *****s and hurl them back to earth whereupon detonation they would explode in showers of Anne Geddes calendars and glitter.

@KyleH

All abilities are welcome there from Wordsworth to whatever you slam on your keyboard while having a seizure! After all, what makes a poem good? What definitely makes one better than another? There's no definitive answer and I'm sure somewhere there's someone out there who thinks her poem is the best ever written. Her mother perhaps?

This is the President of Ukraine.

No really. It really is. Before becoming President he was a comedian and actor.

In another life, they could've been an entertainment duo instead of warring presidents

"This may be a naive question, but why can’t Poland or Germany send reinforcements to help defend Kiev?  I realize many countries are helping out with weapons.  Thanks!  Viva Ukraine!"


Reluctance to get their people killed. Fear of escalating Putin's ill-considered fit of paranoid pique into World War III.
