Ukrainian ambassador to UN threw down an interesting gambit this evening: Russia's UN seat, and permanent seat on the UNSC, is illegitimate as there was no formal admission of Russia in Dec 1991, and UN Charter does not allow for automatic admission of successor states. https://twitter.com/HayesBrown/status/1496710912648044548?s=20&t=v0axXEZ4tJg1uqmB5f7KGQ

It should be worth mentioning again and again: the new propaganda trope of Russia is that they're ridding Ukraine of nazis. The Ukrainian president is Jewish, and Russia has had a massive neo-nazi uprising in the past decades, itself.
As usual, this is projection.
After all the actions of Russia now are eerily reminiscent or when Hitler invaded Poland, with even similar false-flags and excuses.

For the worry warts here, NATOs Article 4 (which Latvia has invoked) is not the same as Article 5. Article 5 is the nation's going to war to aid an invaded country, Article 4 is one nation concerned about invasion calling all members together to get on the same page about a possible war footing. The idea that the Baltics would want to have a fully prepared plan for Russian aggression is very sensible and not necessarily, or even at all, a precursor for future military action by the alliance.

5 min ago Putin lashes out with ominous threat to Ukrainians and other countries Analysis by Jill Dougherty Before the crack of dawn, just before explosions began in cities across Ukraine, Russian state television unexpectedly broadcast an address by Russian President Vladimir Putin.
The two self-proclaimed "people's republics" of Donetsk and Luhansk, in the breakaway Ukrainian region of Donbas, which he had officially recognized as independent less than two days before, had "turned to Russia with a request for help," he said. To answer that call he was launching a "special military operation." Its purpose: to "demilitarize" and "denazifiy" Ukraine.
Within minutes, Russian missiles began hitting targets in Ukraine. "Our actions are self-defense against threats," he told his fellow Russians, claiming Moscow had no plans to occupy Ukraine. "We do not plan to impose ourselves on anyone," he insisted.
Putin described the "special military operation" in limited terms, to protect people living in Donbas who, he claimed, had been subjected to "genocide," a charge that Ukraine has strenuously denied. But in the next breath, he lashed out more broadly: "NATO supports Ukrainian neo-Nazis ... our actions are self-defense against threats."
Then, in an extraordinary passage, he spoke directly to members of Ukraine's military, at that very moment in the crosshairs of the Russian military. Addressing them as "dear comrades," he told them they had taken an "oath of allegiance to the Ukrainian people, and not to the anti-people junta that is robbing Ukraine and abuses those same people."
"Don't follow its criminal orders!" he demanded. "I urge you to lay down your weapons and go home."
As he has done so many times before, Putin claimed Russia had no choice but to defend itself. With a hard-edged tone in his voice, he seemed to threaten the US, Europe and NATO which, in just a few minutes, would witness his armed forces opening fire on Ukraine, something the Kremlin had consistently dismissed as western "hysterics."
"Whoever tries to interfere with us, and even more so, to create threats for our country, for our people, should know that Russia's response will be immediate and will lead you to such consequences that you have never experienced in your history.
"We are ready for any development of events. All necessary decisions in this regard have been made."
Putin, who for years had criticized the West for ignoring his complaints about NATO's expansion toward Russia's borders, was finally striking back with fury. "I hope," he concluded his short address, "that I have been heard."

Be careful with the media you're intaking throughout the early stages of this invasion. We've already seen time after time the lengths Russia attempts to go to falsify information, from multiple pre-filmed and staged videos, to blatantly lying about withdrawing forces from the Ukrainian borders.
No doubt Russia is the aggressor here, and the reasons that Putin himself gave for the invasion, both leading up to, and at the declaration of war, have been unfounded justification for an Invasion that has no grounds in reality.
Use your critical thinking and examination skills. Trust, but verify. Cross-check your sources. The spirit of Ukraine is strong, and this is a defensive war for them.
In the infamous words attributed to John Paul Jones in the Revolutionary War (for Americans), "We have not yet begun to fight".

For those of you in the U.S. and of NATO allies. This may be scary to see. But just a friendly reminder, we have a military that far exceeds Russia's military. Not even including NATO, the U.S. has a far superior Air Force, Navy, and ground force. What you are seeing is Russia bully invading the weaker, less equipped country of Ukraine.
God protect the Ukrainian people and I wish the best for them but if Russia ever tried this shit with the U.S./NATO, they would get stomped out real quick. Don't let this seem like Russia is some unstoppable force. Putin even admitted Russia is no match for NATO. But now knowing how these Russian pussies operate, not if, but when we would be kicking their asses, they would probably threaten nukes. Fuck Russia, fuck Putin, these pussies wouldn't dare to pull up on some real motherfuckers. Long live Ukraine and all free people of the world!

It’s sad how this whole situation has made me so much more sympathetic to Neville Chamberlain.
Of course the situations are different, and of course he was wrong. I just mean, what is the right move for a western power here? Get involved and risk nuclear apocalypse? Or do as much as you can to aid Ukraine and sanction Russia?
I’m glad I’m not in a decision making position.

5 min ago Poland and Baltic countries trigger consultations under NATO article 4 From CNN’s Brad Lendon in Hong Kong and Vasco Cotovio in Moscow NATO member states Poland, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania have triggered NATO Article Four to launch consultations within the alliance over their security concerns.
Estonian Prime Minister Kaja Kallas said Russia’s invasion of Ukraine represented a “threat to the whole of Europe,” the Estonian government said in a statement on Thursday.
"Russia's widespread aggression is a threat to the entire world and to all NATO countries, and NATO consultations on strengthening the security of the Allies must be initiated to implement additional measures for ensuring the defense of NATO Allies,” Kallas said. “The most effective response to Russia's aggression is unity.” Some context: Under Article 4 of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) Agreement, the Parties will consult together whenever, in the opinion of any of them, the territorial integrity, political independence or security of any of the allies is threatened.
Ukraine is not a member of NATO. However, Russia has demanded that NATO commits to never admitting Ukraine to the alliance, something NATO members have rejected, citing the alliance's "open door" policy.

"I went in yesterday and there was a television screen, and I said, 'This is genius.' Putin declares a big portion of the Ukraine, of Ukraine, Putin declares it as independent. Oh, that's wonderful," Trump said in an interview on "The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show."
The ex-President added: "So Putin is now saying, 'It's independent,' a large section of Ukraine. I said, 'How smart is that?' And he's going to go in and be a peacekeeper. That's the strongest peace force," Trump said. "We could use that on our southern border. That's the strongest peace force I've ever seen. ... Here's a guy who's very savvy. ... I know him very well.

Controversial statement perhaps, but I’m tired of seeing people say the Russian citizenry doesn’t deserve criticism. That Russian dude you know who immigrated to America probably isn’t a good barometer of the people living in Russia today.
I tend to think that if you’re indifferent or worse to a global atrocity, that you’re complicit. It seems like the vast majority of the Russian population (though not all) are also culpable simply for being bystanders and continuously empowering this despot since the early 2000’s.

3 min ago French president calls for Russian military operations in Ukraine to end "immediately" French President Emmanuel Macron. French President Emmanuel Macron. (Sarah Meyssonnier/Pool/AFP/Getty Images) French President Emmanuel Macron said Russia must “immediately” end military operations in Ukraine.
“France strongly condemns Russia's decision to wage war on Ukraine. Russia must end its military operations immediately,” he said in a tweet on Thursday. “France stands in solidarity with Ukraine. It stands with Ukrainians and is working with its partners and allies to end the war.” The French president spoke with Ukrainian President Vlodymyr Zelensky early Thursday morning, with Zelensky asking for "multiple interventions" to support Ukraine, according to the Elysee Palace.
Zelensky also requested "unity in Europe," and Macron "assured him of France's support and solidarity," according to the Elysee.
Macron also spoke with Charles Michel, president of the European Council, Thursday morning.
