I have to teach a student about WW2 in a few minutes. I'm tempted to tell him just to turn the television on and draw parallels.
What can the West/NATO do? Seriously?
They move....its not good
They don't....its still not good.

Reports trickling in about a young boy who's been killed in an apartment building during shelling in Kharkiv. Pictures of children weeping over their deceased parents following missile strikes in residential areas of Chuguiv.
Oi, Russia, thought you said you were going for military targets only? Not that I believed it for a second, but, you wankers.
Didn't see that coming.

I've seen several countries warning their citizens and businesses about ensuring cyber security is as good as possible. Not concerning at all...
Lukashenko has said Belarus will back up Russia in their military operation if needed.I wonder is he sending in the troops? Things move fast in war
Didn't see that coming.
Interesting analysis from the Guardian (whose rolling feed is excellent): "Western defence sources have said that they expect Russia to invade on multiple axes" of attack - but the key focus is expected to be the capital Kyiv, which has a population of around 3m. They believe Putin wants to engage in regime change in Kyiv, encircling the city with its military and hoping to oust its President... without engaging in urban warfare."
I was thinking about that when I was hanging up washing. I cried a little for people who are simply too scared to oppose him. I just can't bear thinking about the fear in Ukraine though! We are so lucky.
However - Ukraine is not going down without a fight. I fully believe they will kick Russian ass. Wouldn't be the first time Russia lost when it seemed impossible.
Where's James Bond when you need him?
How scary that this should even be necessary. It's sad that this is the world we live in.
Unfortunately in war the information from both sides is unreliable. Only a handful of casualties from an invasion and missile barrage?
My little ones are home on a snow day. We are a military family and Dad is at work. I’ve turned the news off.
I cannot imagine what the people of Ukraine are experiencing right now. The images coming from the areas attacked are heartbreaking.
The parallels with the start of WW2 are very frightening.

I loved history at school, I did it at O level and our teacher was amazing ! Really taught us about how wars started and about propoganda it was amazing. I am scared because I’m watching all of this imagining the history lessons in 50 years.
Qatar has given support to Ukraine.
In addition to Australia, Canada, South Korea and Japan have announced sanctions.
China has told citizens in Ukraine to display the Chinese flag on their cars if they need to drive, otherwise stay home and stock up on supplies. They have yet to advise citizens to leave the country.

Well, my student hasn't turned up: perhaps he's glued to the news, as indeed I am. I'm really not in the mood to teach the history of world atrocities when one is unfolding before our eyes...
Not sure if this is allowed but I watched the news earlier and there was mention of the Association of Ukrainians in Great Britain - on their website they've launched a fundraising page to help source medical and essential supplies for those in Ukraine. https://www.augb.co.uk/
"Now tell me how the Axis powers versus the Allies can be reflected in the last 24 hours? Where might you find parallels?"
A bit close for comfort...

Brilliant some really strong countries coming out in support , Japan should rip up the pacifist doctrine and begin rearming to protect themselves they have amazing technology and their people are fearless.
I want to preface this by saying that I expect this will sound very silly and childish. I’m only in uni and I haven’t seen very many wars, I want to get my feelings out.
The one thing that keeps going through my mind is “how dare he?” How dare Putin? Who does he think he is, that he is entitled to Ukraine? Who does he think he is, that Russia threatens to invade Ukraine, multiple countries say Russia will be sanctioned for it, and in response he behaves as if that’s unfair? Who does he think he is that he should be able to lay waste to a country and let the bodies pile up simply because he wants to and not be punished for it? How dare he! In the midst of all this tit the world is still reeling through, there has to be a war simply because he can’t keep his hands off something that isn’t his anyway?????!!!!!!
It feels wrong to carry on as normal, you know? To carry on with work for lessons and to do the laundry, but I know as a regular person there’s only so much I can do, and I’ll do what I can, but the power is held within the government (that I haven’t trusted since I became politically aware anyway). It feels rather hopeless.
