    No matter where you are in the world, if you are vulnerable in any way, a conservative will find a way to harm you. It’s a universal truth.

    My first thought was that maybe Russia was experiencing shortages due to the deteriorating economic situation in Russia but, reading the article, this feels more like a petty bureaucrat that’s upset that the occupied people of Ukraine are not cooperating as well as he wishes, so he makes passive-aggressive “punishments” of the people. This may ultimately be good for the war effort, leading to more behind-the-lines resistance movements.

        Ukraine has the right to defend it’s sovereignty. They have made it abundantly clear that their goal is restoration of it’s sovereign borders. No Russian territories will be taken. So yes, I feel very confident in allowing Ukraine unrestricted weapon access. As retaliation against NATO. Putin is more than welcome too. NATO will wipe the floor

      The West has been doing that for the past year and a half already. It’s not like putting undertrained Ukranian pilots in F-22s against Russian SAMs will affect the outcome of the war drastically.
