I think it depends if it's their official or personal account.

Also does it matter if you are their constituent or not?

We just saw the latest chapter in Zelensky’s extraordinary emergence as a leader on the world stage. Just four years ago, he was best known as a television comedian who played the Ukrainian president on TV.

An early reaction from Jason Crow, a Democratic congressman from Colorado and an Army vet: “I think we need to push for more security assurance.” Expect to hear more of this from Democrats, especially after that video.

Those images we saw in that searing video are not being shown on Russian television — or if they are, the anchors are telling their viewers that they were faked. This war is also being fought in the media. Domestically inside Russia, the Kremlin has a powerful advantage because it controls the television airwaves.

This is an emotionally effective video. Life in Ukraine before is replaced by life there now: Russian weapons exploding as they hit apartment buildings, dead being placed in mass graves, blood on the floor as the wounded are treated, tearful goodbyes.

Chris Coons, a Democratic senator from Delaware and a close confidant of Biden’s, told me before the speech that he had never seen a world leader step up to the plate as compellingly as Zelensky had in the past weeks.

Zelensky has multiple tasks this morning: He has to be inspiring, as he was with the British Parliament, as a Churchill-in-a-T-shirt facing down the Russians. He has to show appreciation for the aid provided so far — and explain why it is not nearly enough. And he has to walk a fine line about what kind of aid that would be, since President Biden is determined not to put the U.S. in direct combat opposition to Russian forces.

I mean that Russia can formally reinstate the death penalty.  Medvedev had flagged this as a benefit of leaving the council a couple weeks back. 

Really hope that clears the way for Putin to be swinging from the gallows pole. You know, to keep it legal and such. Otherwise it could be awhile before he is close enough to a balcony to lose his "balance".

Losing millions of young men in the 1940s put a ripple in their population age demos that is still there, as many of those men did not procreate. Maybe we are at the right time point for that missing generation, and it has to be made up by older and younger?

Didn't stop China.  I think while this was a factor, their shit-tastic economy for decades was probably a more significant factor.  Chronic depression, economic stagnation, mass UE and "under" employment led to lean times (and helped facilitate the rise of a charismatic Putin).

Good god.... they are fucking kids. Fuck putin in the goat ass. I honestly can't believe I grew up in the 80s worried about fucking Russia. They suck. 

This is what the majority of everyone’s armed forces looks like age wise. If there’s anything I hate about war movies it’s the preponderance of 30-40 year olds taking the place of the teenagers and early 20 somethings that actually did most of the fighting. My grandfather was 26 when WWII started and everyone in his Seabee unit referred to him as some derivative of grandpa. 
 

Also, you were right to fear the Soviets in the 80’s. The current Russian military is only a shadow of the Red Army.

Ok.  It doesn’t need republican or democrat takes.  But the conflict is inherently political, you can’t say it’s not.  

And therefore policy discussions should go in the CR thread. Let this be a news thread.

This is exactly right. The age in the US is higher than most other places. In Israel it is mandatory at age 18 for both men and women.

One of his best books, and not long before he died, uggh.

Speaking of authors, etc.

Like I said weeks ago, would love to have Tom Clancy, Larry Bond and plenty of other Cold War writers chime in on this stuff.  Hell, would have liked to have had Colin Powell's and Norman Schwarzkopf's takes on this.  

Especially Schwarzkopf's take - not only because of the group he led during the first Gulf War, and showing how to do combined-arms right, but he was born in '34, and served through the peak years of the Cold War, from the Cuban Missile Crisis up through the '80s.

Comstock Lode says hi. I did enjoy LotB, though.

When does The Hague release its decision?

Honest question, say The Hague says Putin has committed war crimes what happens?  Doesn't someone need to go grab him to make him stand trial?  Does this just give other Russian leaders an "out" to turn the old Bunker Dwarf over and remove him from power?

Purely symbolic.  We've already hit them with all the sanctions at our disposal.  Short of military action (which better not happen), it's just another checked box in the "Putin is a piece of dick" folder

While this is mostly true, it also officially restricts the travel permanently and for life those who are convicted to basically any country in the world who takes part in global anything. Basically if the UN doesn't matter to you it's totally fine.

None of this will surprise any of us, but if you have any friends/family who are curious about how things are going militarily and why they are going the way they are, this guy has a really good breakdown (he's a retired officer, written a bunch for Military.com, etc.).

 

 

I subscribe to Ward Carrol's channel because I used to deploy on carriers with F14 squadrons for training on computer systems. I've even me a few of the people he has had on.  Cool channel.

Sure you do. Just hover your mouse over the dots between DT and food and travel.

That's not true at all.  Compare our sanctions against Russia with those we have in place against Iran, North Korea, and other state sponsors of terrorism, and you'll see that there is a lot by way of additional sanctions that we can put in place.
