    Can someone who has better twitter skills than me point me to the NYT article or tweet about Badazz? I can find neither myself.

    With great irony, the Russians demolished the Russian Language Department at Kiev University today.

    I'm guessing admissions to that department were probably already waning over the last seven months anyway.

    All very reminiscent of Hitler launching V1s and V2s on London as it became apparent he was going to lose WWII. Striking out in fear and anger on innocent people out of desperation and realization that the walls are closing in.

    Tip - when a tweet tweets a picture of a tweet without explanation or link, assume it's fake.

    That was what I was suspecting. But such a weird thing to fake.

    So @basso needs to be a bit more careful with his sources? I’m shocked!

    Anyone else find it weird that both sides are calling the other Terrorists? It’s war.

    Only one side is intentionally targeting civilians with airstrikes and has committed numerous war crimes in occupied territory.

    Yeah I get that, and it's war atrocities that Russia should be held accountable for. I guess it fits into the 'terrorism' in a broad sense.

    Today's tantrum by Putler cost between $400 and $700 million in expended ordinance to kill 11 non-military personal and injure 87. Cutting off your nose to spite your face.



    In half a day, the Russians released missiles worth 400-700 million dollars over Ukraine - Forbes

    It's almost like the Russian military leadership is inept and reactionary. But surely one of the largest militaries in the world has their **** together. Surely.

    Putin is weak, he doesn't have the ground forces to do anything so all he can do is throw a tantrum and some V2 Rockets at Kyiv.

    Yes, but this scares me. Even with whomever he's been able to mobilize, they are no match for the now highly capable Ukrainian forces. Add in the Uber experienced volunteers, NATO weaponry and logistics... Oh, and the will to fight and yeah, bombs are gonna keep coming.

    9 seconds in....



    Anti-Russia protests in Vilnius, Lithuania today.



    Translation:

    After today's terrorist attacks on Ukraine, in the capital of Lithuania, Vilnius, people took part in an action against Russian aggression.

    Similar events took place in many European capitals.
