Absolutely incredible to see what the international community are capable of if they choose to be. Never seen anything close to this sort of thing in my lifetime and I doubt many people twice my age have either.

Out of all of this tragedy, it’s the single most wonderful thing that I’ve been clinging on to. The global community is united, from the f***ing judo federation, to the Brazilian Government. From the Polish bloke driving a refugee to Czechia, to the EU and the world coming together to cripple the Russian economy. The line in Balham High Street - people taking donations of clothes and supplies to a charity for refugees in Poland.

It’s as if the whole world is Arya Stark. It gives me goosebumps and make me think we can do this if we stand up to the cûnt.

Yes there is. I can conceive of it. I can also watch it on twitter as tanks turn to run over occupied civilian vehicles and similar Russian-style niceties like short-range rocket barrages being fired into residential districts and the like.

Rockets landing on buildings doesn't mean you're targeting civilians, there's a difference between explicitly targeting and being a consequence. It's terrible either way but there's a distinguishable difference.

Also the famous clip of the tank running over the car was actually a Ukrainian tank, which was in conflict. It wasn't on purpose was it.

Dropping cluster munitions in residential areas is a pretty hard one to defend. And hitting residential skyscrapers with short range rockets...well, um, they're almost line-of-sight weapons systems, so what the hell else did they think they were going to hit?

I've seen other footage of a Russian tank going down the middle of a street going over several cars without any thought.
