    Why is Ukraine crowdfunding it’s military? Why aren’t we discussing this more? When was the last time we saw average citizens pooling their money together to buy military equipment for a military? This is madness!

      Also: fundraise to aid civilians caught in the middle of a conflict? No. Buy even more weapons for Nazis? Yes!

      Idk elswhere but in Poland in 1939. Ended as you could expected. It’s a sign of utter fear and desperation in both political circles and military ones.

        Weird how events around WW2 are the only think comparable to this Ukraine situation, on both sides of the fence.

      It really does feel like we’re in the Twilight Zone doesn’t it? This shit is completely unprecedented.
