Just amused me. I was looking for some war news on CNN, and I found this opinion piece criticizing a republican for criticizing Biden, because people had more decorum and respect for the presidency prior to now.

https://www.cnn.com/2022/02/24/politics ... index.html
A decade ago, the notion of calling a president of the United States “unfit” in the wake of the most serious invasion in Europe since World War II would have been unthinkable for members of either party.
Yeah. Unthinkable.

So I just forayed into mainstream media for the first time in years, and that's what I see, and I know that things have only gotten worse. I've seen a few supposed "eye witness accounts" coming out if the Ukraine, on reddit. Maybe try that. Peeps are countering russian propaganda there.

Ok I lied about air superiority - the shock and awe didn't fully work because I just saw a Russian bomber shot down over Kyev. Fire literally raining from the sky.

e: could have been a missile interception, too? I didn't even know Ukraine could do that.

Poland has really stepped up the last couple decades.

This seems to be a good spot for unfiltered news:

https://www.reddit.com/r/UkrainianConflict/

Russia appears to be losing the PR war, big time. Russian diplomats, journalists, (some) soldiers, and citizens, are protesting Putin's actions. Let's hope that's enough.

Reddit is afoul with russian bots.

Everything is really questionable everywhere.

Marco Rubio Twitter is really good: https://twitter.com/marcorubio

Not sure why he's tweeting so much intel but he's a Senator so I guess he's allowed.

Those russian bots are posting a lot of anti-russia stuff then.

I see them getting banned left and right in comment threads, though.

World leaders aren't ready to eject Russia from SWIFT yet because they're pussies and worried about their own cash.
Dmytro Kuleba, Ukraine’s minister of foreign affairs, tweeted: “Everyone who now doubts whether Russia should be banned from Swift has to understand that the blood of innocent Ukrainian men, women and children will be on their hands too.”
If ejecting Russia from SWIFT would stop this invasion, then he's right.

Loads of sporting world cancellations going on over this situation. Every sports federation is essentially pulling out of Russia. Putin is definitely losing the PR war.
