In cities across Ukraine, there are billboards that show a smiling young man beckoning in full battle gear. "Learn how to defend your home today," the message says.
The advertisement from Ukraine's Territorial Defense Forces, an offshoot of the army, seems to be working. As Ukrainians prepare for a possible Russian invasion, thousands of citizens are volunteering to train in case they have to help protect their cities.

Biden has now pledged a CIA backed insurgency in Ukraine. Lets see how Russia handles dead bodies being sent home on a daily basis.
The average Russian family's real disposable income is lower today than before Russia invaded Crimea in 2014. 7 years of no gains. A Russian invasion will bring sanctions and more pain.
Thousands of ehtnic Russians in Ukraine will be countering the Ukrainians in opposition to Putin. It will be like our Democrats cheering on the Chinese as they invade this country.
We have an insurgency problem too. Putin could make it an armed insurgency.
Can he send the FBI there too? like ..all of them?
Funny. I was just talking with our historian here in Hollywood who advises on productions. He explained that the Battle of Crimea, we had “observers” on the ground and they / the Euros sent the same “observers’ here during the civil war.
Our own elite forces would have a time of it facing Spaz forces. Prayers for all of them cause under this administration, that allowed the situation to get this critical, will do nothing
Did FR start believing NPR?
“I think Putin is about to make a big mistake if he invades Ukraine. The invasion is the easy part. Occupation is hard.”
He is crazy if he does not take Ukraine off the board from NATO.
Occupation will be easy in all areas Russia wants to occupy.
If the Russians do invade the Donbas region of Ukraine they will be greeted with flowers not bullets.
As Kevin Williams once wrote It’s gonna be awesome.
LOL. Thousands are training, millions are fleeing.
The other issue is Stalins starvation of millions. It seems the Chinese remember Nanking better vs. the Japanese.
There are estimated 7-9% Galician Nazis who hate Russia nationwide. Ukrainians hate illiterate Galicians currently in charge more than they hate Putin.
I believe this article.
I wonder if they asked the ethnic Russian residents in Ukraine? Russia is perched on their border to prevent NATO from installing missiles in Ukrainian cities that are 50 minutes from Moscow. Putin is quote Jack Kennedy during the Cuban missile crisis. Putin’s red line is the expansion/invasion of NATO. He is citing verbal agreements from the nineties that NATO would not expand in to eastern block states. Putin isn’t the aggressor here. The Central Banks are all ticked off because Russia threw them out. Time to stand with Vlad unless you love the Fed, Central Banks, IRS and those European Klaus Schwab Davos Nazi World Order elites.
“If the Russians do invade the Donbas “
You are aware the Russians already occupy the Donbas? They have the Russian majority areas. The rest of the country will be much less friendly.
“The average Russian family’s real disposable income is lower today than before Russia invaded Crimea in 2014. 7 years of no gains. A Russian invasion will bring sanctions and more pain.”
Indeed. One rule of history is that a declining power is always more dangerous than one on the rise. Putin needs to do something to remain in power after his record of economic failure and corruption, starting a new war every few years has been his main trick.
“Russia is perched on their border to prevent NATO from installing missiles in Ukrainian cities that are 50 minutes from Moscow”
This is just a LIE.
Show me plans to install missiles in Ukraine. It a LIE, LIE, LIE.
