Maybe do a study of the 300 year cycle?

The evidence is all around us and people still live tribal existences. We either believe in natural selection, or we don't and social evolution played a big part in our development. Humans have been dealing with the changes wrought by technology as we employed it to survive and it changed us while we did it. Say it started with fire and flint knapping, then adapting to agrarian civilization and larger impersonal communities, lately on the 300 year dynamic cycle, there have be changes wrought by transportation and communication.

Someone dissing you on the internet has the same reaction as someone dissing you in a tribe where everybody lived a few hundred feet apart and your social statues counted, same applies when you are cut off by an asshole in traffic, there is no real need to get upset.

What are we fighting for?
Yuri Khristenzen: In these regions, there were no Bandera people. What happened?
update: 06-05-2022 (10:49)
I looked at the battle map. In these regions, there were no Bandera people. What happened?

All military operations are conducted on the border with Russia and Belarus. Or on the border with the territory previously occupied by Russia. Ukraine is not at war with anyone else.

Before the hostilities, all types of civil liberties operated here - freedom of speech, assembly, faith, political choice. The last three presidents of Ukraine were born here.

Russia, Belarus and the regions occupied by Russia are the only dictatorships on the border of Ukraine. On the other sides, Ukraine is surrounded by democracies. There is no war.

The authorities of the Russian Federation are not afraid of "Bandera". They are afraid of the spread of freedom of speech, assembly, faith and political choice from Ukraine to the territory of Russia and Belarus.

Countries that are not afraid of freedom are not at war with Ukraine. But Russia is at war with all countries in which power is replaced by elections. Not a single dictator suffered in this.

Ukraine switching to the European gauge will facilitate trade and travel with Europe and make invasion from Russia more difficult. It would be an expensive under taking with concrete ties, simple with wooden ones, just move one rail in a bit and re-spike it.

The Ukrainian railway network have a Russian gauge of 1.520mm, while most of Europe the tracks have an inner gauge of the rails at 1.435mm (Ireland, Finland, Spain and Portugal have another gauge) . The three Baltic countries – Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia -, also have a Russian gauge of 1.520mm.

Zelenskyy Reveals Key Conditions for Russian Peace Talks
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that peace talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin could not proceed until Putin's troops have retreated into the Donetsk and Luhansk separatist republics, Newsweek reported.

Zelenskyy addressed a virtual meeting sponsored by the British Chatham House on Friday, telling attendees that Ukraine has a bright future and will regain its previously-held territories.

"I was elected by the people of Ukraine as president of Ukraine, not as president of a mini-Ukraine of some kind," Zelenskyy told reporters. "This is a very important point, and I would like us to realize we need some arrangements in terms of talks to stop the killing.

"We can use diplomatic channels to regain our territories," he continued, reiterating his desire to return to pre-invasion borders and resettle currently displaced Ukrainians.

"They have to fall back and go beyond the contact lines, and they should withdraw the troops," Zelenskyy said. "In that situation, we'll be able to start discussing things normally. But for them to withdraw, they have to say something, and we have to start talking.

"I realize that despite the fact that they destroyed all our bridges, I think not all the bridges are yet destroyed, figuratively speaking," he added.

The Ukrainian president also condemned Russia's devastation of Mariupol during its invasion of the city, emphasizing negotiations will not go forward "if they kill people who can be exchanged" as prisoners of war.

"If they destroy them, I don't think we can have any diplomatic talks with them afterward," Zelenskyy said.

The Battle of Donbas is raging high, but it’s not going the way Russia wanted it to.

Almost 20 days in, the much-anticipated and feared grand offensive falls short of expectations.

It is still not even close to achieving its ultimate goal — the encircling and crippling of the core Ukrainian military group in the region.

WHO gathers evidence for possible war crimes investigation against Russia
The World Health Organization (WHO) is gathering evidence for a possible war crimes investigation into attacks it says it has documented by Russia on healthcare facilities in Ukraine, it said in Kyiv on Saturday.

WHO Emergencies Director Mike Ryan, on an unannounced visit together with WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, told a news conference it was the explicit responsibility of warring parties to avoid attacking health facilities, yet the WHO had already documented 200 attacks on hospitals and clinics in the country.

“Intentional attacks on healthcare facilities are a breach of international humanitarian law and as such - based on investigation and attribution of the attack - represent war crimes in any situation,” Ryan said.

Senior Russian lawmaker says US directly involved in Ukraine fighting
Russia’s most senior lawmaker on Saturday accused Washington of coordinating military operations in Ukraine, which he said amounted to direct US involvement in military action against Russia.

“Washington is essentially coordinating and developing military operations, thereby directly participating in military actions against our country,” Vyacheslav Volodin wrote on his Telegram channel.

Washington and European members of the transatlantic NATO alliance have supplied Kyiv with heavy weapons to help it resist a Russian offensive that has resulted in the occupation of parts of eastern and southern Ukraine but failed to take Kyiv.

Maybe the republicans should try for a “coup d’etat,” by democratic election. Seems to be more successful.

I don't think Vlad will leave Ukraine, he must be driven out, if he's smart he will use the May 9th parade to announce this, but that would also mean giving up the south and retreating to Crimea. Once the Ukrainians get the upper hand it won't end until they are completely gone from Ukraine, including Crimea, or Uncle Sam and the EU pulls the pin.

Using those American missiles to destroy the bridges at Kerch might be a nice gesture, if he doesn't make the right noises on the 9th and declares war.

Russia's Grave Miscalculation: Ukrainians Would Collaborate
The solicitation to commit treason came to Oleksandr Vilkul on the second day of the war, in a phone call from an old colleague.

Vilkul, the scion of a powerful political family in southeastern Ukraine that was long seen as harboring pro-Russian views, took the call as Russian troops were advancing to within a few miles of his hometown, Kryvyi Rih.

“He said, ‘Oleksandr Yurivich, you are looking at the map, you see the situation is predetermined,’” Vilkul said, recalling the conversation with a fellow minister in a former, pro-Russian Ukrainian government.

High casualties feared after school shelter in Ukraine bombed
Ukraine has accused Russia of dropping a bomb on a school in Luhansk region where 90 people were taking shelter.
Serhiy Hayday, the head of the Luhansk region military administration, said a Russian aircraft had dropped a bomb on the school in the village of Bilohorivka, which is about 7 miles from the front lines.

Hayday said 30 people had so far been rescued from the rubble.

"Almost the entire village was hiding. Everyone who did not evacuate. After the social club was hit, the basement of the school was the only place of salvation, but the Russians took this chance from people," Hayday said.

The rescue operation is ongoing, he said. Photographs posted by the regional authorities show the school in ruins.

I was on the Defense of Ukrainian twitter feed and they use it to ridicule the Russians and torment them! To great effect I might add. I'm sure they are creating some amusement in the Pentagon, who are no doubt studying the situation closely and are on the team. It is a golden opportunity that presented itself when Vlad stuck his head in the sand and has his asshole up high in the air, how could they resist, seriously! :lol: Since he's committed atrocities and destroyed cities, the enthusiasm to fuck him has only increased. Dunno what Vlad will say on may day 9th, but he is screwed, whatever comes out of his pie hole, just how badly remains to be seen.
