Russian invasion of Ukraine | Fewer tweets, more discussion

Two Russian oligarchs killed family members and committed suicide the same day:

 
The way he holds on to the table for the entire convo is just strange.


My wife told me when the war started that she thought he might have Parkinson’s. After showing her that video she said “told ya”.

*she also said it might be Graves Disease

I’m not in any immediate trouble at the moment, a few of my friends have been found guilty of that weird new “defamation of Russian military” thing but for them it’s been just a fine so far. It’s more the feeling of existential dread, complete powerlessness and inability to plan anything for the future. Thanks for asking though, it means a lot.
The world hasn't forgotten that there are decent people like you in Russia, who don't support this madness. Stay strong and hopefully over time there'll be more like you and you can make a difference to your country instead of feeling powerless.
 
'The territory where Russia should protect the rights of Russian speakers is Russia itself.' (Zelensky)

Nailed it again.
 

Honestly these are empty threats. If they cut off the gas and oil, they'll literally collapse as a state in a single day because that accounts for 80% of their economic revenue. Europa should have gotten rid of itself of Russian natural gas and oil a long time ago, but instead our dumb leaders decided it was a bright idea to get more and more involved with a completely unreliable partner that has proven time and time again that he is completely unstable and untrustworthy.

Hopefully this shit would be the last time this happens and this time Russian gas and oil slowly, but surely, are cut off from the European/American market. If that happens in the near future, Russia won't have any power to do whatever. Ukraine, ironically, can be huge in that because they have plenty of gas and oil fields that are still undeveloped that could act as a replacement against Russian natural resources. That's partly or mostly what this war is about.
 
The BBC reports:

"Russian state media claims that "sabotage specialists" from the UK are helping the Ukrainian military in the western Lviv region.

According to the Ria Novosti news agency, at least two groups - or about 20 people in total - from the SAS have been deployed.

"These are no ordinary special forces," a Russian intelligence source is quoted as telling Novosti.

The source added that the SAS personnel are likely "co-ordinating the activities of sabotage groups" in Russian-controlled territory.

British media reported last week that SAS troops had been training local forces, according to Ukrainian commanders.

Founded during World War Two, the Special Air Service is known for covert missions, including hostage recovery, reconnaissance and counter-terrorism."
 

I really want to laugh hard in the face of everyone who has ever mentioned Nato as a reason for occupation and was spreading that propaganda on Putin’s behalf.
 
I have long said his face looks twice the size, despite not appearing to gain any weight. He doesn't look well.
Hope his worsening physical condition is an incentive for someone to be brave enough to topple him.

Are they special special forces?

I'm sure there are a number of people who blamed NATO who deep down would have been very open to this happening.

Yes I mean he could be holding the table to hide his hand shaking. There's no other obvious explanation for gripping the table so tightly. His right foot is constantly moving too
 
After the demise of Putin, Imo in any peace deal (lifting the sanctions) with the Russia should include them giving up all their nukes.

They’re waiting for him to die
 


I honestly feel the forced deportations haven't had the coverage they should in the media and in international institutions. Is this a fair criticism or is that too harsh?

I've googled like a maniac about the Lenin statue being erected, where was that done? Is there a link to that story from a credible source?

I think sadly 'forced deportations' is codeword for genocide. I don't think they have the logistics to move this many people and we already know that they're commiting a genocide
 


Loitering seems to be beyond its capabilities.


Actually that matches to the stories about Ukrainians that showed some Russian soldiers how to use an indoor toilet when they asked. (At the end they were taking the toilets with them...)

A quarter of the Russians still do not have an indoor toilet - every 7th no heating in the house - a lot no running water or no running hot water. 3200 russian schools do not have indoor toilets.

Actually Putin would have enough work inside his own country...

It is genocide, that's probably the reason it's not being touched on enough.
