If Russia goes to war against NATO, Russia would quickly cease to have a functional army. And Putin knows it. Call his bluff. #LetUkraineStrikeBack

There’s a lot of truth in this thread about anthropomorphizing animals. Pretty much all the major parts of our human brains are share a evolutionary ancestry with other mammals, with a similar limbic system and the earlier ‘reptilian’ brainstem.

The necessity for Ukraine to win the war is unambiguous. Meeting injured Ukrainian veterans at the Pinchuk Foundation Recovery Centre in Kyiv this weekend shows the real cost of this war but even more so the overriding determination that burns even brighter now for a free
