February 26, 20223 yr My man Fareed always puts things in emotional and intellectual perspective. Transcribed from Don Lemon last night: Quote Don: I just want to know your overall…what do you think’s been happening…what’s your assessment? Fareed:…I keep thinking back to Kyiv when I was last there, which was just several months ago. The thing that viewers first should know is that Kyiv is a beautiful European city. It has a beautiful central squares…that golden spire, is the center, the sofia cathedral, that’s a thousand years old by some reckoning. It’s littered with cafes and coffee shops, bustling with life…cosmopolitan people. So, to see it in this atmosphere of death and destruction, and bombing, is heartbreaking, because it’s really one of the great civilized capitals of the world, and it breaks my heart to see what’s going on. I’ve also been struck by the degree to which Vladimir Putin, who…was an adversary, but always seemed rational and calculating, seems to have really taken leave of his senses. The degree of emotionalism, of romanticism, of strange kinds of invective and calumny, he is, you know, referring to the Ukrainian government as NSDAPs. This is a government, Don, that is headed by a president and a prime minister who are both Jewish. So, it feels as if he has kind of entered into a realm of fantasy…where he’s in some kind of strange, emotional bubble. He’s always been emotional about Ukraine, but it seems to have taken over the way he’s thinking about this, which makes it very dangerous, because, in the past, while you could count on Putin to be an aggressive Russian nationalist, you thought there was kind of rationality at work. What appears to be happening now is a kind of reckless irrationality. Don: Do you think Putin will stop at Ukraine? Would his goal seem to be to dominate his neighbors and control more? Fareed:My own guess, and I must confess, he’s gone further than I thought. But my own guess is that his ambitions right now are about Ukraine. He’s always been neuralgic about Ukraine, emotional. For him, Ukraine is…I think he fancies himself a kind of great Russian tsar, kind of going back to Peter the Great, who was the man he admires the most, if you see in a Financial Times interview, this was really his role model. And, the idea is that Ukraine is this kind of indivisible part of Russia…it all began out of Kiev, actually. Kievan Rus' is the name of the origins of modern Russia. So, Ukraine has a special place for him, and he cannot stand the fact that the Ukrainian people feel otherwise. I mean, at the heart of this…whole conflict is something very simple: the Ukrainian people want to live a modern, open life in a democratic society and align themselves, just politically and civilizationally, more with the West. What triggered the first invasion, it’s important that people remember, is in 2014, a government in Ukraine, which was at the time headed by a pro-Russian, one of Putin’s acolytes, decided that it was going to sign a trade association with the European Union. That’s what triggered the first invasion of Ukraine and the annexation of Crimea. So, I think Ukraine has a very special place in Putin’s heart. I would be surprised if he would go further than that, but look, I’ve been surprised by how far he’s gone so far.
February 26, 20223 yr Yeah I also thought he was just gonna try to chip off pieces of Eastern Ukraine at most, never thought he'd make a full scale move on Kiev like this. Then again, I also feel really dumb for not knowing there was a piece of Russia sandwiched between Poland and Lithuania like that. All this ish is F'ing weird.

But they were also defending their homeland and later exacting revenge. The role is now reversed, with Ukrainians defending their own homeland with Russians as the invaders - if reports are true reluctant invaders in the rank and file.

Quote Biden approves $350 million in military aid for Ukraine By Steve Holland and Mike Stone February 26, 20229:47 AM EST Last Updated: 42 min ago WASHINGTON, Feb 26 (Reuters) - President Joe Biden instructed the U.S. State Department to release up to an additional $350 million worth of weapons from U.S. stocks to Ukraine on Friday as it struggles to repulse a Russian invasion. In a memorandum to Secretary of State Antony Blinken, Biden directed that $350 million allocated through the Foreign Assistance Act be designated for Ukraine's defense. Ukraine has been asking for Javelin anti-tank weapons and Stinger missiles to shoot down aircraft. On Saturday, Blinken said in a statement that this third authorization for weapons shipments to Ukraine was "unprecedented." The Pentagon said the weapons included anti-armor, small arms and various munitions in support of Ukraine's front-line defenders. The United States drew from U.S. weapons stocks to supply Ukraine in the fall of 2021 and then again in December. Over the past year the United States has committed more than $1 billion in security assistance to Ukraine, Blinken said. Other nations have pledged military materiel to Kyiv as Ukraine's military fights against an invading Russian force. Russian troops started advancing into Ukraine again on Saturday after President Vladimir Putin paused the offensive a day earlier in anticipation of talks with Kyiv that never happened, the Kremlin said. read more The Netherlands will supply 200 Stinger air defense rockets to Ukraine as quickly as possible, the Dutch government said in a letter to parliament on Saturday. read more Belgium has pledged 2,000 machine guns and 3,800 tons of fuel. read more France has decided to send defensive military equipment to Ukraine to support the country against Russia's invasion, a French army spokesman said on Saturday, adding that the issue of sending offensive arms was still under consideration read more https://www.reuters.com/world/biden-approves-350-million-military-aid-ukraine-2022-02-26/ The tricky part is getting them there.
