Time to watch The Day After or Threads?
They also don't have the equipment to provide them. If they just send soldiers, they will only receive coffins, nothing else will change.
She’s an idealist. I’m sure if she felt her vote was going to count she would have voted along party lines but instead she used the opportunity for a protest vote to raise awareness on an issue.

Is this confirmed? Like, why is the kid smiling? And why did they use Euro (or the exact equivalent of 100 Euro)?
It's hard to believe this isn't something completely different.
Tweeter is pretty reliable as far as I can tell.
That has to be a sick joke. Definitely not the way to treat a military family in mourning.
Indeed, it's very hard to believe that they would pose in this way for a photo in such circumstances, or even that the Russians could be so crass as to even stage such truly pathetic event.
The BBC reports:
"One of the rockets that struck Kyiv on Thursday landed near the hotel where the visiting UN secretary general is staying, according to his spokesman.
The rocket hit barely an hour after Antonio Guterres held a news conference with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
... the UN delegation was meeting the prime minister in his office and were not in the hotel at the time ..."
This is yet another sign of how increasingly deranged the Russians under Putin have become. The UN General Secretary is a world figure, not a representative of any government, never mind a government that is supporting Ukraine with weapons. And yet they still fired the missile.

Couldn’t definitively ascertain such, but the sender has been solid in the past, at least what I have posted in here.
I guess if they want to take their chances with more Neptune missiles. I didn't realize that there are only 1500 Russian troops there. It's a shame the Moldovans can't take advantage of the situation and drive them out.
But which issue? What awareness? The only thing we are aware of is that she voted with Greene against seizing the frozen assets of Russian oligarchs and using the proceeds to help Ukraine!
Denazifying Ukraine via art theft, eh?
Thread…
Excellent thread. He doesn’t really emphasize enough how much support Russia would lose amongst remaining countries who have so far avoided sanctioning it, should Putin use a nuke in any capacity (including detonating one over the Black Sea). At that point the entire world spare perhaps North Korea and John Mearshimer, would turn on Putin.
Always interesting to see when one of these panelists wince at their colleagues going a bit too far, perhaps at least being cognisant of having to own these comments in Russia’s eventual defeat:
And failing miserably at that as well
I’m pretty sure it’s real. There are loads of similar pictures on Twitter of people posing with two bills, supposedly compensation for a lost son/husband.
Most aren’t smiling to the camera, but some actually do.
In fairness she’s explained it on her twitter account. The press haven’t really run with it but that’s their choice not hers.
If it's true it's something that will reach the more reliable sources of news.

There was a rumor a while ago originated from Telegram channel of Ukrainian parliament (as far as I know) that the russian families get 11000 rubles which very roughly amounts to 100 euro, but I don't think it was verified by anyone even remotely reliable.
It would be so unbelievably stupid to open a second front for Russia, that I can just believe they will do it.
Maybe they plan to attack Ukraine from Transnistria? But, governments are pulling civilians from Moldova in case the conflict spills over. Or maybe Moldova there is an agreement between West and Moldova to try and retake Transnistria?
As you say, trying to open another front with a different country, particularly when they have no land connection to there is a huge gambit.
Amazing strategist Putin is playing underwater multi-dimensional chess from the board of Moskva, while everyone else is still stuck playing checkers.
But...but...but...we made them pay in rubles!

Nobody is really actually stopping them doing whatever they want. As long as Russian soldiers are sacrificed by Putin with no comeback, why would they stop?
Can someone please give me a quick history lession about Transnistria?
Is it like in the Donbass region where Russia just installed a puppet government and the majority of citizens don't want to belong to Russia?
In this case I don't get how they would want to fight against Ukraine?
Or do the citizens of Transnistria consider themselves to be Russian?
Whats Moldovas stance on Transnistria and the current war?
