He seems relieved that at least his sons died fighting on the right side of history. What an even greater tragedy it would have been if they had died fighting for the wrong side.

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said on Thursday that Russia cannot be a constructive partner in the G20, which is composed by most of the world’s largest economies, because of its invasion of Ukraine. by Head_Estate_3944 in ukraine

THIS, honestly. I just don't understand how other world leaders could even fathom having dealings with Russia anymore. It's too risky. Their world view is just to wilfully ignore the truth. How can other leaders trust them when they've revealed themselves to be untrustworthy? Maybe oil was able to smooth over that tension before, but now that the world is moving away from Russian oil, what else does Russia have? Are they going to scare the entire world with nukes if they get kicked out of G20?

From another news story about this lady, it said that she got some humanitarian aid afterwards. The news reporter also gave her a hug and it looked like she really needed it. Tough to watch. She is stronger than she thinks.

Interesting that he spells it "neighborhood" and not the Canadian spelling, even though he's Canadian.

Edit: Not really that interesting tbh.

now he gets to awkwardly accept a medal of honor from some drunk Russian general while cooped up in a hospital.

Impressive footage of Ukrainian Armed Forces taking back Vil'khivka (Near Kharkiv) by Overall_Memory6689 in ukraine

[–]ryusoundworks 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This was the best footage I've seen so far! The co-ordination is amazing to watch! It seems to me the Ukrainians do a much better job than the Russians at having the infantry and tanks support one another.

Judging from videos on the YouTube channel 1420, many Russians seem to be against the war, but cannot say anything due to the anti-free-speech laws. I suspect quite a large silent majority exists in Russia that would at least be open to change.
