"So Far 40 killed", "100", etc.

That seems really quite low for a country of 150M invading a country of 40M? I realize it's day 1 and who knows what's going on or where these numbers are coming from , but seeing these bombs hitting airports and govt facilities I would have thought thousands dead

I'd imagine there is a lot of misinformation on Twitter and other social media avenues. Who knows what to believe.

There's much bigger things at stake now than caring that hockey player Alex Ovechkin is perceived as a "coward".

US bipartisan support on Ukraine. McTurtle, Pelosi, and Biden to announce some kind of $600M lethal aid package to Ukraine shortly. Loads of Javelins and AA missiles.

Quote:
U.S. House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Thursday said lawmakers want to provide Ukraine with $600 million for "lethal defense weapons" to battle Russia's unfolding attack.

"What we're doing with Ukraine is making sure that we have humanitarian assistance to help the people; that we have lethal defense weapons going into Ukraine to the tune of $600 million for them to fight their own fight," she said, speaking to reporters in San Francisco.

Translation, Putin has his hand up Germany's butt and is moving their mouth around like the puppets they are. What a joke.

Why the personal attacks as to who and what is relevant?

I know damn well that if Ovi makes a statement the large majority of us would read it (or read about it).

Nobody personally (or otherwise) attacked Zamler.

Seems like you are just causing your own stress here?

Ok fine but used dismissive language/tones.

Anyway, we are all friends here and things are very stressful for many, Huntingwhale in particular.

I actually agree with Huntingwhale. That is a 'No Win' proposition for Ovechkin.

Just let him play hockey. This has nothing to do with him.

......and the daggers come out. Do we have to resort to petty attacks when you disagree with someone?

American LNG exports helped fill the gap during the winter when wind was weak for long stretches of time in Europe.
