If Vaccinated Russian Bear could contain his giddiness about the invasion of a foreign country, this thread would be much more bearable....

How has BigSerg managed to vote in the poll 4 times?

I'm guessing two of the others are Big Abraham and Vaccinated Russian Bear.

This is horrifying, I'm so scared. We must now all support the Ukrainian Army and people in their fight for freedom.
Spare us the pearl clutching. Why are you scared? You're not in Ukraine. This war will not touch the USA. Gas prices will go up a bit, that's all.

And a ton of Ukrainians will die. Not that you care about them.

But God forbid you have to spend $55 to fill up the tank instead of $50.

Do you have any sense of empathy?

Not directly. But it is possible that we are living in a period that future history books will cover under a chapter called "Road to World War 3".

Then again, you could say that the “Road to WWIII” started in the early 2000s, the way the road to WW2 started with the March on Rome. The question is if this is 1924 or 1938.

If we’re gonna go that far might as well call 9/11 the catalyst.

i'm pissed

this is so messed up

what can we do out here to help Ukraine? like as individuals, if anybody has recommendations.

Call your representative and urge them to support sanctions on Russia and accept Ukrainian refugees.

You're right, Seuss would impose Russian imperialism and the Ukranian invasion.

Ukraine famously gave them up following the dissolution of the Soviet Union, in exchange for security assurances.

The USA, or any country for that matter, should not go to war on the behalf of Ukraine.

Congrats, you are the exact type of person that the comic is mocking.
