Who's this goon? We learn from this journalist that people supporting Ukraine are bad because they're on the same side as the government. And that one bloke he met said something a bit rash about direct intervention- this guy is apparently pro-nuclear war. If Putin launches a nuke on the basis of that, then I'm not sure talking peace with him is going to be all that easy either.
Oh he's vile he's part of the American left that's infatuated with Putin.

Just watching some of Clive Myrie's special report from Ukraine. Looks like some posh cameras have been taken out there; that distracts me from the horror of what has happened.

He's done a long stint out there, he looks like he hasn't slept in weeks either.

On a slightly lighter side (if it's possible), Australian YouTube comedian/commentator Ozzy Man gives his take on some clips related to the invasion of Ukraine - a nice touch referring to the Russian Embassy in Dublin incident as a "Special Parking Operation" while I'm assuming the guy at 0:59 has had his massive balls digitally edited out in post production.
Biden telling it as it is and putting most European leaders to shame.

Here is a long but very insightful analysis of the Russian psyche by a retired Finnish intelligence officer who worked on Russia. Subtitles available in many languages.
