The EU is shutting down all Russian media. Which is stupid because RT's reporting doesn't show things going well for Russia.
In Ukraine, meanwhile, the mayors of two towns have ordered that looters be shot on sight, and they consider stores raising prices to be "looting". It's hard to picture local cops murdering shop owners.
Ukraine has lifted age restrictions on military recruits. They took anyone 18 to 60 already which seemed pretty wide-open. They're opening prisons, handing assault rifles to inmates. It's only been five days. Are they that already that desperate?
I thought Russia would fire some missiles at Ukrainian bases and leave it at that, like the United States does all the time. People thought Russia would need twice as many troops. Ukraine is enormous with a population of 44 million. I don't know why they need to arm criminals or the elderly.
Bear in mind, the U.S. hasn't won a war at least since World War Two (in which the Soviets did most of the fighting). It's been argued that the Invasion of Grenada is the only war the U.S. has won since the Spanish-American War. Israel hasn't won a war since 1973. It's possible to do pretty well without winning.
If Putin is voted out, who will take his place? The Communists had the second biggest party after Putin's Russia United.
