SourKraut posted:I think India is still being vague on support/condemnation also though. Yes, I forgot about India. They get a shitpile of fertilizer from Russia and Belarus and food security is, and going to be, really affected by this stupidity. So it's somewhat pragmatic on their part to remain loosely non-aligned. I think they're going to have to find a new supermarket for arms soon, though.

Hieronymous Alloy posted:Literally Donald Trump's first action as the republican party nominee was to remove support for Ukraine from the republican party platform. Like, I don't think Russia "created" Trump in a meaningful way or won the election for him but it's true that they definitely supported him and Trump definitely fellated Putin at every possible turn while in office.

Tim Whatley posted:Prepping for when the market opens Yeah. Potential for bank runs. Couple hours here and the general foreign exchange markets open (central bank markets run 24/7 but we won't get good data until the big commercial markets open), we'll see what the RUB does. Putin will feel a lot of heat this week from his economy, the oligarchs are going to see a lot of wealth evaporate. Russians in general are going to be faced with vanishing savings and bank runs. There is real potential for the political situation to deteriorate. I'll admit it's pure speculation on my part, but I wouldn't be surprised if a few conversations happen amongst the power brokers on whether to just put a bullet in Putin, call it "Putin's folly" and pull the troops back.

Charliegrs posted:I've seen a few videos like this where regular citizens are stepping in front of tanks. I'm surprised as hell that the Russians haven't been shooting at them when they do that. I wonder if that speaks to the level of morale that the average Russian soldier has right now in Ukraine. Like I'm sure many of them don't really believe the bullshit they've been hearing from Russian media about Ukrainians all being Nazis and whatnot. And Ukrainians arent super foreign to Russians like they share very similar cultures and of course most Ukrainians speak Russian. It probably must feel like if American soldiers were sent to invade Canada. I mean, blocking the road with warm bodies is proving to be a powerful tactic for peaceful resistance in the modern age. The aggressors have to be willing to mow down unarmed civilians live on YouTube, and very, very few are. It's also the point where you completely lose the propaganda war (although they're already not doing great what with hospitals and kindergartens bombed.) It will be interesting to see how it's countered moving forward. The obvious easy counter is just to drive the column around the roadblock on parallel roads. But that works less well on a freeway.

Man Plan Canal posted:I think you're saying "The convention as written prohibits this" -- you definitely seem to be right about this -- and the person you're quoting is either saying "it ought not" or alternatively "whether it ought to or not, it's not viable in light of the different environment we operate in". It's maybe a little more interesting to discuss the two latter possibilities, given no court is going to hear this violation any time soon. quote:It is thus necessary to strike a reasonable balance in the implementation of this provision between the benefit derived from making information regarding prisoners of war public, especially given the high value of such materials, and the possible humiliation and even physical harm they may cause to those who appear in them. Accordingly, any materials that enable individual prisoners to be identified must normally be regarded as subjecting them to public curiosity and, therefore, may not be transmitted, published or broadcast. Regardless if one is opposed to the protection of PoWs from being used for propaganda, I don't think it would be great to give Russia an excuse to do the same to Ukrainian PoWs. The Geneva Conventions are one of the only successful restraints we have on the terror of war, it's not something to take lightly or handwave as antiquated. gvibes posted:Wait wait wait, the mayor is the boxer?
