Well I did see a picture of a truck with a "Z" painted the wrong side up, scrawled out, and a new Z put right beside it. You had one job.

Russian getting shit on by everyone who’s talked so far at the UNGA.

The Danish rep (speaking for the Baltic and Scandinavian countries) seems to have been the most aggressive so far.
But the Brit’s are talking now, will be interesting how they push.
Edit: Lame Brits didn’t push further.

Oh Georgia taking the podium now.
Shitting on Russia !!!
They have some skin in the game too.
They are pushing further than anyone else too.

You've got to almost feel bad for any Russian delegate that has to sit in there and try to defend their Loonatic in Charge and his decisions. I think I'd quit, ask for asylum, and get a job at a shawarma joint, more job satisfaction.

Just half a mile away! Shouldn't affect his commute too much.

Edit: The English interpreter seems terribly winded. Is she translating from a treadmill or what?

I am sure the Belarus situation of we are no longer a nuke restricted country will piss them off. Don't think Poland will tolerate if Russians puting nukes there. Its bad enough they have to be next to Kalingrad. Haven't heard any news from Poland if they shut down the border. They might just to choke that exclave.
Kalingrad is a strategic hold for the Russians. Friends and family in Poland are frustrated, scared and mad. Border crossings are mad busy estimated 150k are entering Poland. Ukrainian and Polish have a good amount of commonalities so they will easily acclimate.
Glad Poland spends the 2% on defense. Although if this goes side ways Poland will just end up the battlefield of Europe as always. No one in Poland wants to see that.

Ukraine is gone be this century Poland of partitioning. If the Russians don't completely take over they will neuter Ukraine. Russia needs the Black sea, they will take Donbas regions. Once negotiations start we will at least know the real demands.

This is the best thing I've heard all week... too bad he wasn't successful:

Ukrainian sailor arrested for trying to sink oligarch’s superyacht

Mechanic on Lady Anastasia, owned by Russian arms exporter, sought revenge for attacks on Kyiv

A Ukrainian sailor has been arrested in Mallorca and faces charges of attempting to sink a yacht owned by Alexander Mikheev, the CEO of the Russian arms exporter Rosoboronexport and former head of the Russian helicopter federation. The boat is moored in the harbour of Port Adriano.

The unnamed man, who has been employed for the past 10 years as a mechanic on the Lady Anastasia, Mikheev’s 48-metre, £5m yacht, said he felt he had to do something after seeing footage of a Russian rocket attack on a block of flats in Kyiv, his home town. The defendant told the judge that he believed the rocket had been manufactured by Mikheev’s company.

My iMac crashed during it - so I missed the last few minutes

Rather lame NZ speech - spent more time complaining about P5 and the Veto
Panama - sounded angry - and a pretty good speech

China speaking now, needs restraint and diplomatic solution.
However talking about Ukraine should be a bridge between East and West...

More importantly what will he do (or be allowed to do) before that.
