Interesting, one Aussie is showing the way - 'I've stepped up' Australian soldier declares from Ukrainian front line while fighting against Russia Shocked

This has similarities with the International Brigades of the Spanish Civil War. I wonder if the irony has been noticed by Mr Putin. Wink

Chomsky on the Ukraine war.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dCVN7iV5kVo

"The insane experiment" : NATO weaponizing Ukraine, "to fight to the last Ukrainian", to weaken Russia. Hence complete disinterest in the US congress to seek a diplomatic solution. Yet Putin WAS provoked, unlike Bush in Iraq.

The experiment: How far can Putin be pushed, what will he tolerate?

Mainstream media and politicians are pro-war. Life is expendable in "survival of the fittest" geopolitics.

[My observation: The 'human psychosis': we must die, in order to live....hence the insane concept of "legal" war].

Things just go from bad to worse for Comrade Putin, however I doubt membership will take effect until after there is some sort of ceasefire in place in this current conflict. The NATO philosophy is an attack on one is an attack on all, and I don't see NATO ready to engage Russia directly just yet.
