teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
Leonardo DiCaprio will be donating $10M of his own money to the Armed Forces of Ukraine to aid the fight against Putin. His maternal grandmom is from Odessa, Ukraine.

Saw a tik-tok video in which a woman describes a Russian tsnk running out of fuel. The crew went to the local town to find fuel. While they were away, locals stole an engine part from the tank. The crew returned and fueled up the tank but it wouldn't start. They saw the missing engine part and went into town to find it. The locals returned to the now refuelled tank and drive it away. How true the story is, I have no idea. But I hope it is. Playing Cluedo with my mum while I was at Uni: "You did WHAT? With WHO? WHERE???" RE: Russia and Ukraine

The truly badass bit about this whole taking-tanks-away-from-Russia thing is that the Ukrainian Tax Service made a deliberate effort to inform people that if they ‘acquire’ a Russian tank, armoured personnel carrier, etc, they do NOT need to declare it as income.

Putin is a fool.
He ought to have listened to Bertrand Russell when he said that love is wise and hatred is foolish. We're seeing the folly of hatred in action right now. And not just from Putin—it's always ubiquitous on this planet. Sadly.

Kind of like the guy who breaks into your home to steal your stuff - he doesn’t hate your stuff, he just wants it and is willing to go to great lengths to get it. Boru

Putin is an Imperialist. The idea of having client states as buffer-zones is a link back to both Czarist and Soviet past.
That may be, but Putin doesn’t see Ukraine as a client state. For something to be a client state, it would have to technically be a separate state. Putin, unfortunately, rejects the whole “Ukraine being it’s own separate state” thing. If the recent war didn’t clue you in, he wrote an entire fucking essay explaining that he not only doesn’t see the Ukrainian state as legitimate, he sees its mere existence as comparable to a WMD attack against them. And this essay is apparently required reading in the Russian military. Also, If I’m reading this accurately, I suspect that if Ukraine falls, Putin’s next target is probably going to be Belarus.
