I just read that, they won't do anything to the site to harm it, I think its just the fact that thats how far they have reached. Its a pretty large area and its fairly close to Kiev.
Did they invade that far in just overnight??
I saw this in a reddit thread, indicating all the explosions and major airports got bombed to disable transportation.
Can't confirm the source though. That's a lot of areas hit in short time if so...

I'd believe it. Modern day missiles range is massive and the size of Ukraine is not huge. Maybe just an extra few seconds between hitting targets on the border and on the other side of the country.
Strategic Offensive Limits: The New START Treaty entered into force on February 5, 2011. Under the treaty, the United States and the Russian Federation had seven years to meet the treaty’s central limits on strategic offensive arms (by February 5, 2018) and are then obligated to maintain those limits for as long as the treaty remains in force.
Aggregate limits:
Both the United States and the Russian Federation met the central limits of the New START Treaty by February 5, 2018, and have stayed at or below them ever since. Those limits are:
700 deployed intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs), deployed submarine-launched ballistic missiles (SLBMs), and deployed heavy bombers equipped for nuclear armaments;
1,550 nuclear warheads on deployed ICBMs, deployed SLBMs, and deployed heavy bombers equipped for nuclear armaments (each such heavy bomber is counted as one warhead toward this limit);
800 deployed and non-deployed ICBM launchers, SLBM launchers, and heavy bombers equipped for nuclear armaments.
Thats what is SUPPOSED to be. But I have no doubt they're lying.
The US needs to finally bring out the TR3B to really shut down anything Russia has, go for a little cruise across Ukraine's airspace
-Talk about kicking them off the SWIFT system
-Nord Stream 2 getting scrapped
This won't end well for them.
It's pretty wild some of the posts I'm seeing on Facebook by ACTUAL Canadians. It still blows my mind how strong the QAnon is up here. Comments I've seen from doof-troop Langley rednecks:
"Putin is strong, just like Trump, good for him"
"We need to mind our business, Ukraine should be part of Russia anyways"
"Putin is going to Ukraine to unearth all the drugs and child porn that Biden has been hiding there, the wave is coming"
The problem is exactly what has already been said before -- Russia has previously said that they will consider expulsion from SWIFT as an act of declaring war on Russia. The natural implication to that is once again their threat to go nuclear on the countries endorsing the SWIFT expulsion.
I'd 100% expect Nord Stream 2 to fall apart now. With the war happening, it would be suicidal for Germany to follow through with it, and I trust they couldn't allow themselves to continue with it either. But one problem is -- Russia is cunning, and has already hedged against this by signing some sort of major gas / petroleum deal with China. So even though Nord Stream 2 is dead, the petroleum revenue stream isn't.
So what can be done against a bully that continues to wield that nuclear card?

It's going to get worse and worse until the climate is so bad we can no longer sustain life. Or a nuke goes off, whichever comes first. Give it 10 years
Hall of Fame boxer, Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko intends to fight for Ukraine with brother, Wladimir
Quote:
Vitali Klitschko, a Hall of Fame boxer and mayor of Ukraine's capital of Kyiv, intends to fight for his native country of Ukraine as it faces an invasion from Russia. Attacks on Ukraine, including one on Kyiv, began in the early morning on Thursday.
"I don't have another choice," Klitschko said when asked by ITV's Good Morning Britain if he would take up arms to defend the country. "I have to do that. I would fight."
Klitschko, a former heavyweight champion, became mayor of Kyiv in 2014. His brother, Wladimir, who is also a former heavyweight champion, is also expected to help defend Ukraine after enlisting in the nation's reserve army earlier this month.
"We will defend ourselves with all our might and fight for freedom and democracy," Wladimir wrote on LinkedIn on Thursday.
