It's times like this that I almost wish @Shalcker were here to brew up some nonsensical, hand-wringing retort about how the evil US is making false claims and about how the US can't talk anyway because of an instance where they committed crimes against the native Americans 150 years ago and how can you prove Russia did anything wrong if no Russian-aligned sources are verifying that any war crimes were committed and that it's all just western propaganda and that Russia was never supposed to win in three days but that this is all going to plan and the west is on the verge of collapse because Russia and its inseparable ally China are rebuilding everything that Russia never lost in the first place?
Almost.
I know he still skulks around here, so it's worth pointing it out so he can fume at his country's impotence in silence. Nobody believes this Russian drivel. Not the US. Not Europe. Not China. Nobody outside of the copium-sniffing Russians who have ceded their country's future to be eroded by the capricious whims of a madman, sending his people to die for nothing.

“Do not lose time on daily trivialities. Do not dwell on petty detail. For all of these things melt away and drift apart within the obscure traffic of time. Live well and live broadly. You are alive and living now. Now is the envy of all of the dead.” ~ Emily3, World of Tomorrow
Words to live by.
Biden is in Kyiv.
NATO is not, Ukraine is not part of it. And Putin is shitting his pants on a regular schedule anyway, no russian is gonna get window-suicided by doing ANYTHING against Biden in Kyiv.
NATO or no NATO, if anything would happen to Biden, US would go ballistics and Russia would cease to exist in Ukraine at very least, not gonna speculate what would happen to actual Russia for an act of declaration of war against US![]()
Sometimes, the light of the moon is a key to other spaces. I've found a place where, for a night or two, the streets curve in unfamiliar ways. If I walk here, I might find insight, or I might be touched by madness.
Air raid alarms did go off while Biden and Zelensky were out walking the street but neither showed any concern and nor did the secret service so it mustn't have been anything.

This is the first time in a very long time a US president has visited an active warzone where the US military is not a participant.
Possibly, but he's been getting more fidgety over the past year, if you compare videos in the middle of last year with this one you can see he's losing control.
I highly doubt that would happen without putin's approval, and if it did happen without his approval I think it's one of the very FEW things that might get them to grovel. (not holding my breath though)
Air raid alarms go off all the time, even if nothing is close. As for Biden visiting: I do definitely feel that he's much more involved with the rest of the world, and less of a twit than trumpetter.
