Ukraine declaring war would be very bad news . . . . . for the world.

[Stinky The Clown]

This is going to be destabilizing if Trump does what we all think he will.

Or

This could all be kabuki.

Meanwhile, things in the United States could (not will . . . so far) turn to homogenized shit faster than we might imagine.

1. Putin's aim from the get go. Anybody paying attention could see it.

2. Link to the declaration of war?

4. I found this

not sure about the source, but it is also possible the story is
being squelched by the U.S. media.

The thread is terrifying.

9. I'll wait for a better source. The situation is definitely serious, but throwing the term

"declaring war" around before it's happened isn't helpful for people to trying to learn about it.

3. Ukraine calling for Martial Law . . .

But yeah, Putin wanted this.

5. +1

7. Trump giving the Saudis a pass was a green light to Putin.

Trump is weak.

Putin knows he will do nothing.

Ukraine is his for the taking.

It'll boost Putin;s sagging popularity at home, too.

[Stinky The Clown]

10. Yeah, he's sorta declaring war on Mexico.

[Progressive dog]

11. Ukrainian news reports vote will be

on declaration of martial law.

No urgent mobilization of Ukraine's army is expected.

12. I read elsewhere tonight that Trump traded away the obligation to defend Ukraine..

...in exchange for Hillary's emails, in a transaction with Putin.

If that's true, think of the shit storm on him as he sides with Putin and against Ukraine, with whom the U.S. has a signed commitment.
