Perspective
Nations in Yellow support Sanctions against Russia.
The rest of the world is OK with what Russia does because they are in many cases guilty of the same thing, and if they are put into the limelight, they are going to be shown to be hypocrites. I mean fucking hell, Africa has more slaves going through it's borders than America had through its entire history of slavery.
I see it differently. It appears to me the rest of the world doesn't see what Russia is doing as any different than what the US has done for the last 2-3 Decades. Smart people with memories have brought up our debacles in Libya and Syria. But that wasn't my reason for posting it.
Listening to Western media you would think it was Russia against the world. In fact it is just
NATO + against Russia.

Wins and losses for both sides....
Mariupol Mayor Orders “Complete Evacuation” Of City Now In Russian Hands; Ukraine Says It’s Retaken Major Kiev Suburb
The important southeast city of Mariupol has now been completely taken over by Russian forces, according to its mayor, after weeks of siege and intense bombardment and fighting. Mayor Vadym Boichenko announced Monday that his city is “in the hands of the occupiers”.
“Not everything is in our power,” he said in a live television interview. “Unfortunately, we are in the hands of hands of the occupiers today.” He then called for a total evacuation of all remaining Ukrainians from the city, which before the invasion was at 400,000 – but which some estimates now put at possibly just over 150,000 remaining.
“According to our estimates, about 160,000 people are in the besieged city of Mariupol today, where it is impossible to live because there is no water, no electricity, no heat, no connection,” Boichenko said. “And it’s really scary…”

McDonalds abandoned nearly 900 restaurants, Russia confiscated them and are now rebranding the restaurants as Uncle Vanyas. Same menu, just made with local ingredients.

The good guys....
More and more shocking facts that show the essence of the criminal Ukrainian regime are being revealed.
The whole world must see this footage so they realize that this is not a war between Russia and Ukraine, which is supported by the NATO countries, but the war between good and evil. In this video, Ukrainian soldiers shoot Russian prisoners of war in their legs and afterwards give them a severe beating.

Numerous crimes of law enforcement agencies of Ukraine have been known many years before the start of the Russian military operation in Ukraine.

P.S. There are reports that these videos and others are being broadcast during the "news" in Russia, China and India every cycle. NATO countries = What Nazis. Non NATO= WTF? These videos were all filmed by Right Sector and Azov, btw.
The Duran has been providing boots on the ground reporting and nuanced analysis.

A decent recounting of how things have transpired.
The Architects of Our Present Disaster
American foreign policy is buckling under its own contradictions. We no longer have the luxury of decadence.

Russia could have been allies.
Two Great paragraphs from the article.
Pax Americana is dead and we have killed it.
It didn’t have to be this way. I am reminded of a quote from Condoleezza Rice about the morning of 9/11. She knew that U.S. forces going to DEFCON-3 would trigger a similar escalation by Russia so she called President Putin and told him our military would be going on high alert. He told her that he knew and that he had ordered his forces to stand down. Then he asked if there was anything he could do to help. Rice recounted that she had a moment of reflection: “The Cold War really is over.” But the choices made in the aftermath of that day by people like her unleashed a destructive zeitgeist in Washington foreign policy that has led us to this point where the specter of nuclear war now hangs in the air as it did during the tensest moments of the Cold War.
The September 11, 2001 attacks were the beginning of the end for the window of opportunity we had to forge a partnership with Russia. Just one year earlier, President Putin had expressed interest in joining NATO during President Clinton’s visit to Moscow. Clinton’s exact response has not been publicly reported but it was not affirmative. In retrospect, it was exactly the partnership the West needed to counter the rise of China. But Washington had spent the previous decade treating Russia as a colonized vassal, there was little interest in allowing such a backward and humiliated country into the gilded halls of NATO.
Now our press has whipped up a frenzy against anyone or anything Russian.
These are the same people that randomly attacked German-Americans in WWI, sent Japanese to internment camps and lynched Blacks who stepped on the wrong side of the tracks.

There are none.
This is a brutal Civil War. It's pretty clear there are war crimes on both sides. We shouldn't be involved with this. Telegram is the outlet that tells both sides. The video of the Russians being executed were bad. The Ukrainians shot Russians in legs and watched them bleed out. Plenty of shelling of civilian buildings by Russia.

Exactly. When was the last time that they were actually on the "right" side of history?

When Trump forced us out of stupid wars.
