Russia’s ministry of defence has claimed to have killed more than 250 fighters overnight, shot down one MiG-29 aircraft, and destroyed two ammunition dumps, including one within the self-proclaimed Donetsk People’s Republic.
The Kremlin has rejected claims that Russia has blocked grain exports from Ukraine, blaming the west for creating such a situation by imposing sanctions on Russia. The UK’s foreign minister, Liz Truss, accused Vladimir Putin of “weaponising” hunger through Russia’s blockade of Ukrainian grain exports. A senior Turkish official said Ankara was in “ongoing” talks with Russia and Ukraine to open a corridor via the Bosphorus.

I don’t particularly care about the proxy war the US is conducting in Ukraine, but I believe the situation needs our prayers.

Was it legal or illegal for the Confederacy to secede from the United States?

Perfectly legal and constitutional.

The end game was that the south was granted TOTAL amnesty. We did a lot of healing...but the Dems seem to want to open the wounds at every step they take.

Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskiy has said Ukraine was not eager to talk to Russia’s Vladimir Putin, but that it has to face the reality that this will likely be necessary to end the war.
Just three days ago, Zelensky said the partition of Ukraine was off the table. Now it's on the table.

Time for a negotiated settlement where neither side gets it all. There’s plenty of room for a compromise that would advance neither the Soros one-world agenda nor Russian territorial annexation. Republicans who think we are still back in the Soviet cold war era will have to forget about using this war to take Putin down.

I have nothing against the guy, but clearly he’s in over his head. Nobody should expect competent leadership when the court jester is put on the throne.

This is a game which one can only lose, depending on the framing of the questions.
Was it legal or illegal for the first American states to secede from Britain?

Ukraine may have done Russia a favor by killing incompetent generals. The new guys are taking more territory every day.

Could very well be. They sure seem to have a plan now.

Not exactly. The officers and men of the Confederate Army were given lifetime probation. But you're right, there were no show trials. The United States charged Jefferson Davis with treason, but the case never went to trial.

Was it legal or illegal for armed militants to unconstitutionally overthrow Democratically elected President Yanukovich in 2014 disenfranchising 50% of Ukraine?

Reality is, well, reality, and Zelenskyy needs to face reality or face total destruction. He has done a grave disservice to Ukrainians as their leader.
