So almost like on the internet where Nazi means anyone who opposes you ;)

Pretty much the terms been devalued.

Key difference with Putin there's no ideology beyond nationalism and kleptocracy. USSR had better soft power due to Communism having some amount of appeal.
 

So, hung out last night with my Ukranian friend. Plus side, her mother is arriving here in Japan in a few days and it looks like the town is going to kick in pretty well for taking care of her. Bunch arrived at the airport last night.

It was a bit strange talking to her though. She's Russian Ukrainian and her perspective is quite different from what I see in the news. I found myself just biting my tongue an awful lot.

Used to work with boat crew out of Odessa. Think most were Russian though. Mostly good bunch but interesting at times

This could get wider

This is not new, Russias previous action in the vicinity of Odessa supports the interpretation that Odessa and probably Moldovia were targets of the Russian invasion all along.

The military question now being addressed is: can Russia gain and hold the Donbass and Luhansk oblasts and force Ukraine to accept a ceasefire or peace ceding Crimea, Donbass and Luhansk?
