The only reason why this travesty persists is because Putin still holds the world hostage with Russia's nuclear arsenal. The only future for the world lies in cooperation, peace, and prosperity. Not this campaign of self-destruction that Putin has forced on us.

Not for long, everyone is getting off the teet of .ru oil.
Gas is the harder one to move off for both sides, since Germany needs it for heating and it'll take a while for them to move to selling it to China (which will turn them into China's economic colony). Not sure which one they officially make more from selling though.
Ukrainian Xoogler from Odessa living in the Bay Area checking in. I stand with Ukraine. We are with you. Wrote this song a week before the war started: https://vm.tiktok.com/ZTdU21AoP Now it's time for me to live by these words. Last week, I went to Poland to help my 68 year old mother in law evacuate from Kyiv and cross over the Atlantic to safety. She saw the airport burn from her window. You can read her story her…
Is there any point of making these donations seeing so many billions are being sent by nation states? Is there a bottleneck where the Ukrainian Armed Forces need first aid kits but are unable to get them because of a lack of funds? I've thought about donating to these sorts of organisations but I question the actual efficiencies of doing so. Edit: I also worry that funding the continuation of this war will increase t…
Militaries the world over are their own hell of bureaucracy

It's the same reason that food pantries and organizations like Meals on Wheels are important despite the existence of SNAP and Social Security. Those organizations work directly with communities at a low-level to meet the needs that aren't met by high-level programs and funding.
Censorship and speech restrictions aside, many Russians really think this is a peacekeeping mission that has no bloodshed. Adding to frustration of Ukrainian residents calling their own family members in Russia about whats going on, and still get denial in response.
One thing I've been thinking about doing is... agreeing with them? Call it a "special military operation", and then tell them it's not working. The world is reacting to the special military operation. The timing of the special military operation is not in Russia's favor and its causing more harm than benefit, in both Russia and in Ukraine.
The semantics are designed to derail the conversation at the beginning. "Ah we're being bombed indiscriminately in this war of russian aggression", the Russian's immediate reaction is "wait, no that's CGI, that's the Ukrainians bombing themselves, its exactly why you need help", instead just play along! "Everything's A-OK but you still need ...... to dismantle your leadership for failing to get more allies in this operation or putting it off until more support was achieved."
