I hope the US and others are able to buy 155 mm artillery shells from SK as fast as they can make them. This is what is needed.

The crazies are combining criticizing Japan with surrender to the authoritarian block now?

Also Saturday, Russia's defense ministry said it had completed its planned spring call-up of 147,000 military conscripts, 12,500 more than in the previous year's draft.

Just another sunny day in a fascist regime.

Nice to see protestors in the picture standing up against the war mongers and demanding an end to the funding of the war and arms shipments.

The left used to be adamantly anti war and pro peace with flowers in their hair and signing Give Peace a Chance on their marches.

Now they salivate over cluster bombs being used.

The right used to be all about national defense and keeping America strong abroad. Now they rush to surrender first. Soon we will see them surrender to China as well.

Most in the left' still are pro-peace, but also understand that it probably takes fighting to stop the global spread of extreme right authoritarianism led by the warmongering, territory grabbing Russia/China/Iran/North Korea bloc. Reminds me of WW2 and the fighting that had to be done done to stop fascism. This time Russia, which contributed greatly to the stopping of fascism in WW2 is a leading fascist state that needs to be contained.

It’d be even better if it was happening in Moscow.

If they were anti-war, they would be protesting in front of the Russian embassy, telling Putin to end the war.

The fastest road to peace is to arm Ukraine.

Then why is it taking so long and not working ?

It is working, but it will take time.

Putin thought he was going to take Kyiv in three days. Over five hundred days ago. It’s taking this long because the Ukrainians are really good fighters and it turns out the Russians aren’t.

you do know that Ukraine uses them on civilians right? They are losing and just want harm ordinary people for revenge.

BTW, SK President is a US puppet and seeking nukes.

Putin thought he was going to take Kyiv in three days. 

When did he say that?

That was a Western analyst who said that. He was wrong because he assumed that the Russia was going to use full military force and was after Kiev, but the Russians just wanted to denazify and used a small attack force consisting mostly of Chechens, Wagner and local resistance fighters.

Putin only commented once on the timeline and he said "we have all the time in the world and are in no specific rush to complete this operation"

That was a Western analyst who said that.

Early in February, 2022, Lukashenko said if a war broke out with Ukraine, they would take it in 3-4 days. He was talking about Belarus though. Of course if Belarus could do it in 3-4 days, Russia certainly could. 4 days after Russia invaded, Lukashenko was there asking people to sit down and negotiate because it was going nowhere.

It would be much more useful to take out terrorists with them. It's not like they are hard to find.

BTW, SK President is a US puppet and seeking nukes.

And he would be totally justified in that considering NK disrupted the regional power balance.
