There is a sticked thread with links to the relief efforts.
It's kind of mind-boggling how rushed and poorly thought out this whole operation has been by the Russians, given that planning for something like this has likely been happening for years. It could be the Russian military overestimating their own capability, or more likely, Putin ordering them on a military venture over the advice of his generals.
Really bummed about germany right now. Yesterday or so a high ranking military member said that we didnt have anything, so we cant share anything (Die Bundeswehr wäre "Blank"). Then the head of the BND gets caught with his pants down in ukraine, suprised by the russians. Then we stall SWIFT sanctions and now I see that we have around 300 soldiers stationed in lithuania, which somehow is supposed to be a deterrent.

I had to look up what those are but they look effective

Yeah, that was it. Even still, this invasion is no 'shock and awe' like with Iraq.

They're tripwire forces. Their only purpose is to hold the russians back long enough before the armies come from poland, germany and france
Not sure why these drunk fascists are targeting neutral merchant ships, but I would hope it convinces the holdouts in the international community to excommunicate Putin's kingdom even faster.

Yeah it's like trying to find a way to fine Bezos or Gates. The amount of money you would have to take away before they REALLY felt it is staggering.

NATO troops in the baltics arent deterrent. They are there to stall the Russians and to act as tripwire armies. Basically, they are there to die and force the countries to join the war and win some time by slowing the russians. Each hour they win, is one more hour the rest of NATO troops have to assemble and get closer to the front.
I think the Vietnam War was the first time a war was truly televised, and it certainly had an impact on the American perception of the war degrading, especially after the Tet Offensive. The Invasion of Iraq was televised, but highly filtered by modern media and lessons from the past few decades of the impact of televised media. We are about to see a completely new iteration of the "televization" of war, as now the process of sharing information is as easy and fast as a person recording tanks rolling through a neighborhood on their phone and uploading it to Twitter. No need for news media to be there, no need for the information to be sent processed, just raw footage almost immediately available, where every citizen can be a journalist for their own invasion if they want to be. Will be incredible to see how it all develops and what the eventual impact will be.

Was the crux of their plan based on securing the airport right at the start of the conflict? If that failure is what defanged them, they sure didn't plan many contingencies.
Putin's wealth is a lot more complicated Bezos or Gates. It's spread amongst all his oligarch friends, which is why hitting them with sanctions is so important as it cuts off Putin from being able to access large parts of his fortune.
Romania doesn't have a EFP battlegroup at the moment but france and germany are thinking about setting one up they announced yesterday
