The replies and the Fark thread are both full of old Soviet jokes repurposed for Putin's regime.Moscow man buys newspaper, glances at front page, throws it straight out. Next day: same again. And again. Eventually, seller snaps. "Why DO you do that?" "Oh, I'm just checking for an obituary" "But obituaries aren't even on the front page!" "Oh, the one I'm looking for will be"

Hahahahaha!
That has been circulating around social media in New Zealand, except it is about our prime minister, Jacinda Ardern. Once thought of by the world press as caring and wonderful (and still so by the sycophant NZ press, least the one government owned one and the major one that just got $55m from the government) she is now held up in the same light as Justin Trudeau ... and we the people can't wait for her to go - mostly out of power rather than into the ground though.
The groundswell thought here is that we should offer any refugee Ukraine people a home, after all they share the same basic Christian religious base as we do, and most speak English, so their integration would be near seamless, but all the government is offering Ukraine is a few dollars.
Does everybody wonder, as we do here, why politicians seem to forget they are there to act FOR the people ?
One of the criticisms of the second world war is that the allies did nothing to stop the Nazi's progress until it was nearly too late.
'Obviously' that mistake won't happen this time as we have memes to warn us !!!
I don't imagine Putin is going for world domination, but no one imagined Hitler was at first either.
Sorry to taint your wonderful site with such talk, I am almost as far away from Ukraine as one can be but I still feel strongly about the invasion and suffering of the people.
I once watched a truck full of aid being unloaded by older women wearing scarves ... this was years ago and to help with a famine somewhere in Russia, at that time I had only seen things about the Iron Curtain and other cold war stuff, so thought those people my 'enemies' ... but the women looked like my mum, my aunties ... at the time I was maybe 9 or 10 and my brain was still learning to ignite it's synapses, so it took me a while to figure out that my entire family, English and Welsh born for generations, had basically once come from Russia/Ukraine ... you can see it in the faces ... and that is why, me and you, Miss Cellanis, are called Caucasians.
