Hmmm, now why would they do that? :thonk:

The fourth, right option: (in a complete fantasy world) they'd recognize they stepped in it, that there's not an aggressive action that doesn't hurt absolutely everyone and do anything at all to de-escalate 😔
"we don't think sanctions will do what we need them to" "we will impose the harshest sanctions" HOW can this be two concurrent thoughts. Either they work and imposing them will make Putin back down, or they're useless and NATO is committing to abandoning Ukraine. Of course, Biden can't say the last part because it will ensure no democrat ever holds office on anything more important than county school board ever again.
Maybe I should've said "sorry I flinched" but yeah he was! But I think he was betting/hoping that sanctions would in any way discourage a nation used to being sanctioned

Maybe he's hiding. Tbh, I would be. "Oops, sorry Ukraine, Russia called my bluff :/"
Wait, I saw someone ask some of these but I don't remember the response but I have some questions (some I don't think anyone can really answer right now but w/e): how does Russia see this ending? Once they replace Ukraine's gov, demilitarize them and discourage them from joining NATO, what then? They said they were uninterested in occupation.
Is there any reason that NATO wouldn't immediately go in to replace pro Putin Ukrainian government once Russian forces leave? Would they avoid that because of the threat of nuclear war? Something else?
How significant is China's support for Russia here for discouraging NATO from getting a pro NATO gov back in power? Will this discourage Biden from doing another reckless stare down with two of most power nuclear countries? How likely is it that NATO says "sanctions don't work so nuke em"?
this is so awful, I pray that this over quickly with as few innocents dead/permanently displaced as possible. obvious take but it's extremely tragic that the US and NATO get to increase pressure in already precarious situations and then leave countries to deal with the fall out. at this point, there's no chance Ukraine joins NATO. NATO should have just left well enough alone but of course not. (Not defending the land invasion)
did my finals early so canvas cant screw me, thank God :)
absolutely cursed, so thats probably exactly what theyre planning. cant wait for when all labor is replaced by prison labor :)
so whats the long term plan here? the national guard isnt going to serve nuggets to 5 year olds forever. what happens in a year when they leave, as im sure they will? whats the county/state working on to improve the job so people actually want to do it?
Aha, but you see, you too could afford an nft if you were a daddy's money enjoyer! So pick up those bootstraps and look for some rich parents!
another w for our family, my aunts complimented us on our super tender turkey :gigachad:
bacon doesnt even taste good man
I love this genre of meme but idk what is called😔
I think this is the most blatant government contractor scheme I've ever seen. Every year, someone's favorite cousin is getting a cool $150k
Okay, if you're sure, but offer still stands! Be careful, please. Meanwhile, praying and hoping for your safety. You'll get out of this, and be safe. You're preparing, you're alert, you got this. Just keep us updated!
I'm sorry if I'm being too pushy here and I don't want to disrespect your values. Its wonderful that you have a giving heart and don't want to take away from those (who you feel are) more deserving.
But I'd just like you to consider this: your life has as much value as other, even more destitute, people because you are also a human being, regardless of demographic. You deserve money because you're in immediate danger and your life needs to be preserved. If getting money to get out of a dangerous situation makes you feel icky, than there are plenty of opportunities to pay things like that forward when you're safe.
There are people who care about and want to help you (me included). But, if you are 10000% sure you don't want cash, is there any other way I can help? I don't think we're in the same state, but if there's any way I can help by calling places, shipping you stuff, etc., I'd be more than happy to do it.
Does your school have campus safety officers? It's it possible you could tell them you're in fear of your life? Maybe they could direct you to next legal steps? Many campuses take abusive relationships seriously, even if they're not romantic, and they might have safety resources regarding housing.
Also, are there local shelters for men around you? They might also be worth contacting, even if only to plan to escape there pronto. They also might be a good safety resource, as in they might know other places to contact.
Emergency mutual aid groups might be able to kick some aid your way, but also I'd consider starting a GoFundMe or something like that too.
Do you have a car? Even sleeping in your car while you wait for some of these things to come together might be better than further exposure to this person.
