History Lesson: Why all countries need to band together and help Ukraine

The USSR, which was known as the Soviet Union and was a communist government, used to have many countries under their umbrella of control, including Ukraine.

When the Berlin Wall fell in the early 90's Russia dropped the communist part of their government and became the Russian Federation. They gave all the countries under their umbrella autonomy. So more or less, the Russian Federation was no longer in control of all these countries.

Putin is the current President of Russia. He has held this position since 2012, after previously serving as President from 2000 to 2008 and as Prime Minister from 1999 to 2000 and again from 2008 to 2012.

Putin has expressed a desire to restore the glory of the Soviet Union, which is a key part of his domestic and foreign policy goals. He aims to regain Russia's influence in world affairs and strengthen its position against perceived threats, particularly from NATO. (https://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-26769481)

If Putin regains control of Ukraine, he will move on to the next country, then the next country, until Russia's old glory is restored.

This must not happen.

When I was young I asked my dad what Spam was made of. He told me “Chicken lips and assholes”. My dad is a funny guy.

I dropped them like a bad habit when they first implemented the advertisements. I have never looked back.

I was able to make it all the way to 1500 with no issues. I was lost at 1400 due to the unfamiliar lettering.

Texas Law Question (lemmy.world)

Wife who I left 4 years ago due to her cheating on me. We never divorced. She went to the hospital in a diabetic coma a few days ago, and her sister texted me yesterday saying that I need to pay half the hospital costs or she would have the police come after me. Am I legally required to pay it?

EDIT: Thanks everyone! I will speak with a lawyer for advice, completely ignore my SIL, and get divorced ASAP.
