The Russains have started
firing cluster munitions into densely populated civilian areas in Kharviv, Ukraine. You know, the kind outlawed by the Geneva conventions due to the widespread and indiscriminate damage they cause, as well as the increased risk of undetonated ordnance resurfacing years later, not that Russia cares about the Geneva conventions I guess. This isn't a war, it's an attempt at genocide at this point.
The good news is the Russian forces are getting destroyed at basically every level, besides indiscriminately bombing civilians. They've failed to take pretty much every objective they've set themselves, they've suffered heavy losses both in troops and material, they've encountered civilian resistance at every turn, the sanctions imposed on them by the west are already taking heavy tolls on their already turbulent economy, and this entire invasion makes them look incompetent and ridiculous. It's the Winter War all over again, except now with even lower morale and more ridicule on the world stage.
Putin putting Russian nuclear forces on high alert is worrying to me. Exactly how batshit insane is this man, and how far is he willing to take this batshit insane campaign of his? Apparently committing war crimes against civilian populations is fine, and now he's readying his nukes? I hope it's just posturing, it doesn't make any
sense for it to be more than just posturing, but no part of this invasion has made any sense so far anyways.
