#Rubio says "it's not American war, it's war on another continent". Dude, your country took nuclear weapons from #Ukraine specifically in exchange for USA security assurances for Ukraine's sovereignty. Just keep your country's written obligations, rather than listening to Putin's fables about history of medieval Russia...

International conflict law 101 from Margaret Thatcher (1990) "It’s simple: Someone invades? You kick them out. You don't ask them about their 'security concerns' while they’re killing your people and flattening your cities to the ground. Some people suggest there should be negotiations. What is there to negotiate about? You don't negotiate with someone who marches into another country, devastates it, killing whoever he … stands in his way. You get him out, make him pay and see that he is never in a position to do these things again." Margaret Thatcher, Speech to Conservative Party Conference regarding Saddam Hussein's invasion on Quatar.

People who are being lobbied by the Russian Orthodox Church about "protection of #Christianity in #Ukraine" should probably keep in mind what _actually_ Russians are doing to Christians in Ukraine. In 2014 Russian troops murdered four Pentacostal priests in Slovyansk. In 2022 when #Russia troops occupied Irpin on the outskirts of Kyiv , they threw dozens of #Bible into the street and burned them – because they were written in Ukrainian. It's not about "protection of Christians", it's about protection of one very specific FSB branch called "Russian Orthodox Church". image

#Putin today made a very weird remark about 'piglets', clearly agitated about EU decision to indefinitely freeze #Russia assets it moronically kept in Europe when it started the war against Europe. Putin literally said: > And the European piglets immediately joined in this work, ahead of the American administration, hoping to profit from the collapse of our country. Apart from the infantile insult, it's interesting to see Putin mentioning the 'collapse' of his country, which, from his previous words was as stable as a rock and ready to wage war for another thousand of years...
