Russia Invades Ukraine

*smile* just took an interesting turn

Russian advance halted; Putin says those involved in mutiny will be punished — The Sydney Morning Herald

The Wagner chief said that while his men were just 200 kilometres from Moscow, he decided to turn them back to avoid “shedding Russian blood.”

I had a chuckle listening to the news on the radio when the Wagner chief called Putin a criminal

Civil war? Or Putin dropping a nuke on the “ terrorist” group now?

Well, Wagner are employed by the criminal !

Sounds like one criminal ahole bitching with another.

 

[Tigers of Old]

Yep whilst good to see Putin under some pressure, careful what you wish for.

 

[TigerForce]

Is Putin dead yet?

 

[Redford]

Wagner sounds a bit like Hitler’s Schutzstaffel.

 

[tigerman]

Is Putin dead yet?

No, but it mightn't be long before one of his look a likes goes for a long walk on a short plank.

 

[Redford]

Can’t believe an oligarch hasn’t taken him out yet.

CIA funding Wagner….

 

[Carter]

Feel for the people.

What to think in times like this? So much apparent danger at home and abroad.

The people deserve so much better but no one would be storing much faith in these most recent developments

I have little sympathy for the Russian people except for the small minority who oppose Putin, most of whom have fled Russia - they have tolerated Putin's kleptocracy, agree with his fantasies of "Great Russia" and largely support the war against Ukraine.

Vatniks.

That’s a lot of people still

Most are apolitical

Was listening to the Monocle podcast on Friday and one of the guests stated that over 1,000,000 million people had fled Russia. This was due to their being politically opposed to Putin and potentially in the sights of his fictitious trials.

If you are apolitical that's as almost as bad as supporting the regime. But even if Putin goes there will still be a militaristic kleptocracy in power.

Ultimately ordinary Russians will have to decide whether they want to live in a shitty autocracy based on a diminishing gas and oil economy with fever dreams of Russian power, or join the real world.

Yeah - after the war started there was a flood of young professionals and creatives who took the first flight to anywhere just to get out of the shithole.

If anyone wonders why Ukranian resistance has been so resolute it's because they want a functional democracy with an open economy. Russia offers only the opposite of that.

Wouldn't be surprised they'll return to Soviet Union again.

Scared of being drafted into the army, Asia is full of Russians.

I’ve come across them a bit in NYC. There’s an enclave of them in Brighton Beach, near Coney Island.

I have no problem in saying I can’t stand them. Neither can most New Yorkers.

It will be interesting as to whether the Ukrainians see this as an opportunity to launch a massive counter attack-or whether they follow the Napolian's advice of never interrupting an enemy when they are making a mistake.

 

[Willo]

Old Putin’s gonna feel some real heat soon

Is that good?
