as optimistic as this sounds, its hard to take it seriously given russia's cryptic warnings about what its going to do 'in the early hours of march 21' if mariupol doesnt surrender.

Don;t know much about this guy about this is the paragon of privilege right here. Fly across the world to fight in a war when you have zero military experience and then start complaining that they are not finding enough for you to do. But hey what else would you expect from someone who has their own Cameo page? https://www.cameo.com/anthonycwalker

From news article https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-60563278

Mr Walker has no military experience. In fact, he says he was deemed medically unfit and rejected from the Canadian Armed Forces three years ago due to haemophilia.

Instead, he's held a series of jobs and occupations, including being a carpenter and truck driver. He's also a certified emergency medical technician - a skill he said he hopes to use in Ukraine. Most recently, he was studying cybersecurity and hacking at a Canadian university.

For now, Mr Walker plans to remain at the Polish borders for a few days while he waits for several dozen former volunteers, including former Canadian soldiers and others from the UK, South Korea, and the US. On Monday, he said he was helping deliver supplies to the Ukrainian military by truck.


Apparently the guy raised a bunch of money and now people are wondering where it went...

Oh ya and he insta deleted these tweets obviously.

All that being said I'll give anyone who goes over their props for their ideals but I really don;t think they understand what they are getting themselves into...

this is like that episode of seinfeld where kramer just starts going to work at some office where he doesn't even have a job and he's so terrible at it that he gets fired anyway, isn't it?

like this is so poignant;

*CORRECT: BIDEN DID NOT SPECIFY WHETHER DRONES WOULD BE ARMED

yeah we are shipping thousands of kamakaze drones to UA but dont sweat it putin they arent armed.

you know, until they are.

a treaty with putin is not a valid security guarantee, but nato ambitions might be?

personally i just assumed all the shit-talking UA was doing at NATO inaction throughout this was scripted so they could lend an air of legitimacy to any potential deal with a 'no NATO ambition' clause in it.

the only goal here is just to get RU tf out of UA and quietly shore up UA defenses after the fact.

"Ukraine and Russia reportedly draw up fifteen-point draft deal to end war, terms include Ukraine renouncing NATO membership ambitions, limits on armed forces in return for security guarantees"

make of that wha tyou will

Quick aside.

Population growth is vital for economic growth, and the two are tightly correlated. But the United States just had the lowest population growth in history, and it was close to none at all.

it would behoove you to always remember that India is still growing. Never be dismissive

it really is interesting that trump and johnson rode into office on the literal exact same waves of populist / protectionist / right wing xenophobic agitprop and suddenly russia is totally comfortable with launching an invasion on european soil.

that said try to find a pandemic that ended without a russian invasion hot on its heels. seriously, go look.
