"Let's not drink 'information tranquilizers', because sometimes information is spread about some moral or psychological breakdown of Ukraine's armed forces, as if they are nearing a crisis of morale or a fracture. None of this is close to reality. Considering that European aid will come into full effect and one million armed Ukrainian soldiers can join the fight, we need to see this reality of the near future, and we need to consider that in our operational and strategic calculations. The situation for us will frankly get worse. Let's look at this situation as a whole from our overall strategic position. Let’s not swing missiles in Finland's direction – this just looks ridiculous. The biggest problem with our military and political situation is that we are in total geopolitical isolation. And the whole world is against us — even if we don’t want to admit it. We need to find a way out of this situation." - Retired Col. Mikhail Khodarenok on Monday’s edition of Rossiya One’s 60 Minutes show.

- This is the same fellow that said before the war: "The degree of hatred which, as you know, is the most effective fuel for armed struggle, in the neighboring republic towards Moscow is frankly underestimated. No one will meet the Russian army with bread, salt and flowers in Ukraine. Expert claims that Russian forces will defeat Ukraine in a short period of time have no serious grounds"

- But they didn't listen.

Folks, this useless war has been thrust upon the world and we are seeing atrocities I thought were gone in the modern world: extermination, deportation, enslavement, systematic rape and torture. I am not anti Russia, far from it, some of my best friends are Russian, they include some of the most talented artists here and friends in my own city's symphony orchestra, and they, like I am anti war. And I have to say that if you are pro war please unfollow me now and forever.

Duncan and Lancaster are lovingly represented here in a piece long in coming from artist  The.Fool as she moved out of harm's way and into another bad situation before leaving there finally for loving family in Canada with the help of her followers in the furry community. She could write a book. Many could sadly.
