Well, well. Looks like the Sadistic Despot Dictator Club is supporting Putin

‘Correction of history’: Syria president praises Ukraine invasion

Syrian leader Bashar al-Assad tells his Russian ally Putin the assault on Ukraine is justified and aimed at ‘restoring’ post-Cold-War balance.

The club should all be wearing really gaudy letterman jackets to show their solidarity

Go ahead and release some steam.

Assad desperately wants a Russian pipeline through Syria so he can get commissions off of Russian oil

Kharkiv, a major industrial city in Eastern Ukraine, has been heavily shelled. I can't imagine, kids, women. You can't get from East Ukraine to Poland in a day, it is a large country. So they are locked...the sad irony, there are many ethnic Russians living in Eastern Ukraine, many are Russian-speaking. So to call them "benderovtsy" and shell... is really killing one's own. (Not that killing anyone is validated). I am crying thinking of how many kids are under fire. Also, the Russian kids sent to Ukraine, apparently, were not told where they were going. Nor did their parents know. Another crime.

Can almost imagine how everyone felt at that meeting today, imo.

One day we will know the truth.....first thing that falls in war is the truth.

I'm desperately worried about my little $26 million Swiss chalet and my seaside Monaco villa.

I really don't want to have to park my Gulfstream in Syria, and the food in North Korea is just.... dreadful.

Whatever will we do if they won't take my rubles for my weekly cases of Dom Perignon?

What am I going to buy now that no one will take my money? I can't ever run off to Iceland.

Gawd knows there's nothing good about having to hang out in stinky cold Russia

Ukrainian Defence Minister Oleksii Reznikov has appealed to Russian soldiers, saying they will receive full amnesty and monetary compensation if they lay down their weapons.

“Those of you who do not want to become a murderer and die can save yourselves,” he said in a post on social media.

First round of Russia-Ukraine talks concludes

Is this a little piece of good news:

From The Telegraph UK

Snake Island soldiers who told Russian warship to ‘go f--- yourself’ are ‘alive and well

Article is behind a paywall, so I can't post it. With the kind indulgence of the moderators, I'll post a sentence or two.

"The official statement from the Naval Forces said that those aboard “were illegally captured by the Russians” and that the ship’s seizure “is a violation of the rules and customs of war and international humanitarian law”. They call upon the international community to assist in any way it can in forcing their release.

In response to Russia’s aggression towards the soldiers on Snake Island, “hacktivist” group Anonymous broke into the maritime data of a $97 milllion (£72 million) luxury yacht believed to be owned by Vladimir Putin and made it appear that it had crashed into the island. They also changed the destination of the yacht to “Hell”.

Russian airline Aeroflot violated Canadian airspace after ban, Transport Canada says | CBC News
''Russian airline Aeroflot on Sunday violated a ban on aircraft from the country using Canadian airspace, Transport Canada said, on the same day the restriction was imposed in response to Moscow's invasion of Ukraine.

"We are aware that Aeroflot Flight 111 violated the prohibition put in place earlier today on Russian flights using Canadian airspace," Transport Canada said in a tweet late on Sunday.

Flight 111 travels from Miami to Moscow and took off at 3:12 p.m. ET, according to FlightRadar24.

There are no direct flights between Russia and Canada, but several Russian flights a day have until now passed through Canadian airspace to other countries, a spokesperson for Transport Minister Omar Alghabra said.''

I remember in the 1970s flying from Montreal to Cuba, and we couldn't fly over U.S. airspace. It was an Air Canada flight, and we had to take another route so as not to violate the U.S. prohibition.
