Those minutes until you find your child after the kindergarten is shelled. If you need to explain what hell is, this is it.

The world's biggest child kidnapper, Putin, hit a kindergarten in Kharkiv. There are injured children. There is a fire in the kindergarten.

In exchange for not sending Tomahawks, I promised Donald I would give up land Russia does not control in Zaporizhzhia & Kherson. In return, Ukraine would give Russia land we also do not control in Donbas.

“The offensive has come at an enormous cost: our meta-estimate suggests over 100,000 Russian soldiers have died in the war this year.” The quiescence of Russian society in the face of the meaningless slaughter of their men is horrifying.
