Thanks ... πŸ˜‰πŸ™‚

Though "special military operation" is something of an odious euphemism for an outright invasion. Attended by -- if one can believe "sources" ... -- over a trillion dollars of damage to Ukrainian infrastructure.

Even if Russia may have some justifications. An old article on the general topic that I had bookmarked some years ago:

"America's Coup Machine: Destroying Democracy Since 1953"

Odious term for an invasion? Russia launched the SMO to prevent Nazis murdering people in the Donbass notably Mariupol. Watch some of Patrick Lancaster's videos from March/April 2022 to see what those animals did and what the people who lived in those places had to say about the 'invasion'. They'd been waiting for Russia for 8 years.

Or keep believing your fairy stories about Putin. I really don't care

Moot who has the moral high ground in that conflict, but it should be clear to anyone -- at least anyone who doesn't have their thumbs on the scales ... -- that there's some evidence of atrocities on both sides.
