Damn. Putin really does have no friends rn.

 

[Dandy]

Lukashenko is basically a puppet regime figurehead for Putin and Russia, is he not???

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

Yeah exactly

Jfc. Poor Kentucky teachers union but uh, even before this, given the volatility of last 30 years, did it seems like a superwise investment to invest with a Russian bank?

War has so many unexpected consequences

 

[cobainwasmurdered]

Disgusting knowing that when I was stealing other people's shit I was also supporting Russia.

There's talk from Ukraine that they think they stopped the invasion and/or Russia is going to be out of resources on Sunday lmao

Not doubting. Want to read more.

Grain of salt on the second one

 

[cobainwasmurdered]

that seems incredibly optimistic

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

Putin just told Macron to go to Hell when he suggested withdrawing so yeah, it does seem PRETTY OPTIMISTIC to think he'd withdraw less than a week later but Idk.

 

[cobainwasmurdered]

I can believe Ukraine is winning and Russia is in dire straits based on what has been happening the last 36 hours. However that could lead to some really dangerous escalations so I'd be cautious about declaring victory is imminent.

Russia-Ukraine war: What happened today (March 4)

A roundup of key developments and the latest in-depth coverage of Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

www.npr.org

This morning MSNBC's "big board" was showing that Russia had troop ships ready to unload near Odessa and that a land strip had been secured near Mariupol that would allow supplies to flow in from Mother Russia.
Then again 12 hours ago could be a whole different world.

That sets off my "fake news" alarm, ala the Iraqis killing babies in incubators BS from Desert Storm.

Opinion | Ukraine's Nazi problem is real, even if Putin's 'denazification' claim isn't

Not acknowledging this threat means that little is being done to guard against it.

www.nbcnews.com

Even Putin's Nazi thing has some truthiness to it.

 

[Big Papa Paegan]

Yeah, there is a ton of Nazi shit in Ukraine. That's never really been in question. What has been, though, is using it as a basis for Putin to invade. Nevermind the RIM (the group that Putin is allegedly targeting) and its ties to American white nationalist groups, the level of antisemitism in Russia has been steady for decades, and overall racism has skyrocketed since the collapse of the USSR (thanks, in large part, to the declining birthrate of native Russians, which fueled a state-sponsored welcoming of immigrants from all over).

And every last bit of it has been met with either praise or tongue-in-cheek "shaming" by Putin.

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

As I mentioned earlier ITT, for sure there's Nazi/far right influences in the Ukrainian military but there's far right/racism in p. much EVERY military.

Germany to spend $220bn for industrial transformation by 2026 - Carbon Brief

Christian Lindner, Germany’s finance minister, has said that his government has “earmarked 200bn euros ($220bn) to fund industrial transformation between now and 2026.

www.carbonbrief.org

Germany is pretty much going green to avoid relying on Russia for energy.

 

[Dandy]

We can’t do that because the frogs will turn even gayer.

 

[Big Papa Paegan]

Leading scientists all say the world will be virtually uninhabitable in 100 years if we keep using fossil fuels and people don't care.

Fossil fuel-producing country invades their neighbor and then we start doing Green New Deal stuff.

Fuckin' people...

 

[cobainwasmurdered]

Seems about right tbh.

People are also bitching about how high gas prices are and blaming the wrong people (Biden, Trudeau) instead of the gas companies. Canada hasn't imported from Russia since 2019, America gets 5% of it's oil from Russia. We are being gouged. A competent government would go on the attack and point this shit out.

Putin can expect a tearful, pleading phone call to END THE WAR NOW from our former POTUS at any moment.
