Thug Putin Invades Ukraine

Under bullshit pretenses, thug Putin has invaded the democratic, free, sovereign, absolute right-to-exist Ukraine. This is just as much about China, as it is about Russia. This is just as much about Taiwan, as it is about Ukraine. Russia and China are evil. They seek to destroy the international rules based order. Enough is enough. Free and democratic nations everywhere must ally to face head on the existential threat match made in hell that is Russia and China. The free and just world is with you Ukraine, keep fighting.
