For the past couple days it seemed like the general vibe was "Putin is a MADMAN who is risking WW3 and the future of his entire country, any move he makes now will be a massive mistake" And then he went and did it and it's like, there might be some sanctions but otherwise there's nothing we can do about it.

I don't think anyone really thought WW3 was on the table, but the sanctions can easily be worse for Russia than big on map is good

i left for a short trip to the mountains on friday morning and got back on sunday evening. reading through all of the ~4k posts made during that stretch took the rest of the day

This happened to me too, except I went "gently caress it" and skipped like 50 pages

I think I've read everything else

Putin doesn't want any direct neighbors in NATO, right? But if they take over Ukraine, then they will....

They already do thanks to Baltic States + Norway and technically Kaliningrad

The fact that it was a proposed evacuation route that was mined is a bit disconcerting as well.

Russia/Syria did this in Aleppo and other Syrian cities. I think someone upthread said they did it in Grozny in 1997 as well.
