Just to be clear:

If war breaks out between #Russia and #Ukraine, it will be because one man — Vladimir #Putin — chose to send the Russian army to attack Ukraine. pic.twitter.com/pK446RnTow

President Zelensky says he will still go to Munich today for the security conference but will return to Ukraine right after his appearance. His office told me yesterday he was considering staying put in Kyiv. Biden said it was Zelensky's decision but probably best to not go.

We're calling out Russia’s plans. Not because we want a conflict, but because we are doing everything in our power to remove any reason Russia may give to justify invading Ukraine.

If Russia pursues its plans, it will be responsible for a catastrophic and needless war of choice.

Yes it's possible but as Americans also hypocritical. But there's really no morality in geopolitics, only self interest.

In case you forgot, the guys who are about to invade Ukraine had Trump eating out of their palms right in the Oval Office as he gave them secrets. https://t.co/8TTBegPV4p

2/ Example suggested by a friend:

Biden sent US troops to Poland.

Reads as: we have your back. Very meaningful to many in Poland.

Imagine how Trump would have played it?

While this is 100% correct, the Canadian “freedom” people never were engaging in civil disobedience. It was illegal & violent from the start, using trucks & COVID-19 infection risk (they refuse to mask when all businesses have mask mandates) as weapons of coercion & intimidation

If Ukraine is invaded by Russia the shock will “echo around the world", says UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson https://t.co/CyVdspsnWW

Tells us everything about Boris Johnson when he has an RAF plane flown 350 miles to be a prop in a photoshoot.

Vain, shameless, prepared to misuse the military to deflect from Partygate and Ukraine-Russia’s just another personal propaganda opportunity. https://t.co/1xEya4aokQ

It was always a nonsense and an insult to those who had served with him.
As a chum said to me "I'f I'd known I could have made Colonel walking up and down my garden, I wouldn't have gone to Afghanistan"

The problems facing the UK are far bigger than Boris JOHNSON. They revolve around the people, institutions, media and systems that put him there, shielded him from accountability and kept him in power.

Who in their right mind thinks the answer to any problem is to put Boris Johnson in charge of it?

Unpopular opinion, but if I know Unionists I predict that most of those booing will end up voting DUP.

Long time N of I political watchers rightly fascinated by this.
So what are your thoughts:
A) grassroots unionist anger
B) TUV orchestrated heckling
C) both
? https://t.co/DfaAWeZs3M

— Claire Higgins (@ClarNiUigin) February 19, 2022

For unionists, Health, covid recovery and the economy are more important issues. The DUP collapsing the executive will affect these issues negatively Maybe you should be focusing on that instead of trying to manufacture a crisis. pic.twitter.com/hnfawsRbmw
