Oh, Serbian nationalists can be unreasonable for a long time given the smallest perceived slight. To be fair, they’re matched in their Olympics-level grudge-holding by the Croatian nationalists, the Bosnian -nationalists, really any Balkan area nationalist group you can think of.

Most especially those Albanians, who are nothing more than Serbs who forgot they were Serbs… /s

Indeed. Seems to be a common theme on illegitimate land grabs, no?

Is the cartoonist Russian, or someone working for them? The name looks Scandinavian and the text is in English.

What a nasty piece (and body) of work. He’s obviously trying to obtain a following in the West, especially the American right given the frequent appearance of Biden.

Russia launches fresh strikes across Ukraine
Lorenzo Tondo
My colleague Lorenzo Tondo reports for us from Kyiv:
According to preliminary information, in the Kyiv region, Russian strikes hit a residential area and critical infrastructure objects, said Ukrainian authorities.
Explosions were also heard in Lviv and Kremenchuk, in the Poltava oblast.
Power outages have been reported across Ukraine.
An air raid alert was issued across Ukraine and Ukrainian media carried reports of air defence systems in action in several parts of the country.
There were no immediate reports of casualties.
Guardian correspondents in Kyiv heard several explosions. Emergency power outages began in Kyiv, a local energy provider said.
Kyiv mayor Vitali Klitschko wrote on the Telegram messaging app:
(Missiles) Hit one of the capital’s infrastructure facilities. Stay in shelters! The air alert continues.
He gave no details of what infrastructure was hit. But Russian forces have increasingly targeted Ukrainian critical infrastructure in recent weeks as they faced setbacks on the battlefield following their 24 February invasion.
‘Massive’ blackout in Moldova after Russian attack, says deputy PM
Andrei Spînu, Moldova’s deputy prime minister, has reported “massive” power outages in his country following Russian strikes on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure.
Moldelectrica, the state-owned energy firm, is working to reconnect more than 50% of the country to electricity, he added.

Russia is truly filling the role of the abusive bully, lashing out in anger. Its ground forces are truly crap, its artillery too inaccurate to be of tactical value, its air assets unable to work against actual AA systems, and so it falls into lashing out with rockets at civilians, since it has done fuck all when it comes to actually fighting the Ukrainian army.
The Russian army better hope the rasputitsa (aka Mud Season) lasts all winter, since it is the only thing saving their asses right now.
