Interesting documentary from inside Russia. Check out how "strong is the rouble" and how "everything is ok".

https://youtu.be/ZsjDSLgOMMc

Yep... that is the "best performing currency" and the new "petrorouble" that can either not buy what you want because the shop is closed or it will buy the stuff for nearly double of what other people pay outside the glorious Putin's Tzardom. Keep your roubles under the pillow... what could go wrong?

I think you are very confused about who is getting nervous and trying to paint a picture that is simply not true, but I will make it a bit more clear for you:

- It is perfectly know that Russia runs conscriptions, and on this situation they can be send to die for Putin in Ukraine.


Nobody believes your Psycho in Chief Shoigu - and who can blame them, after even denying that Russia is at war with Ukraine when everybody knows it.

- Young Russians are effectively being conscripted. That is why many police locations and recruiting centres are suffering attacks by Russians inside Russia.


- Even pro-Russian bloggers and leaders are criticising  the deplorable leadership that is sending regiment after regiment of unready soldiers to their deaths in useless offensives.


And you are somehow trying to say that, with what is known now about the deadly western weaponry being supplied, the massive economical and intelligence support from the US, the videos showing how full tank columns are obliterated with no possibility of scape, the thousands of dead that are being hidden by the Chief Psychos of Putin's army, the young Russians are flocking to go to a war to burn alive inside the tanks or be killed in the worst possible manners.

It is quite a symptom that, in a country where free speech can get you into jail, there are many voices that say "stop this madness".

Do not die for Putin.


Crimea is a contested territory that belongs to Ukraine and is under Russian occupation. Even Putin understands the consequences of using any form of nuclear weapon.

The fact that he "declares" a territory "Russia" means that he would be drawn inevitably into a choice: Use nukes to defend it (with a corresponding response) or loose face. A third options is to be killed by his own circle.

This is for machine guns and hand grenades, sure


Sorry to tell you, but this knife does not cut both ways. Ukrainians are fighting for their right to not be governed from Moscow and for a future among the most developed nations in the world, Russian soldiers are dying for nothing - if not for the delusional fantasies of a 70 year old guy that just cannot tell reality from fiction.

Do not die for Putin.

Russian mothers, did you raise your sons and daughters to be sent to kill, rape and murder and then die a horrible death away from home?

No, he said that Ukrainians fighting for Russia would be considered enemy and be killed. Ukraine is at war with Russia, so Ukrainian nationals fighting under Russian orders are enemy combatants at best or, in my view, traitors in a legal sense, like in most countries in the world when you fight against your own people.

On top of it, on the ridiculous attempt to make it look like if US were giving any credibility to the "nazi-terrorist" arguments, this is how reality looks like:

https://youtu.be/6JUOIJRpffs?t=14 - Senate approved 40 Billion USD in help to Ukraine.

That is the US view on the matter, putting the dollar where their mouth and the public opinion are.

Edited: I just noticed on the strategic map that if either Kherson or Melitopol fall Crimea may simply not have any water. The supply would be cut. Some maps even give a larger advantage to Ukraine in the South, calling contested some of the areas that Russia is taking for granted.

Which means that 495 did not. You see 40 vs 495 - that is how credible your argument is. In my view, the Putin's army as of today is a terrorist organisation: invaded a pacific neighbour, destroyed schools, hospitals and a range of civilian buildings with people inside, tortures and kills to spread terror... that looks like terrorism to me.

The Nazi argument is irrelevant to the war, Putin could not care less about the ideology of the people that he kills and this discussion is only for the internal propaganda market and to cover up an unjustified war of invasion and aggression. Nobody outside Russia (probably not that many inside) thinks that this war has anything to do with Nazism (Putin himself is behaving much more like the Nazi Reich and his army like the Wehrmacht).

As said before, retaliation is a bitch. If Putin decides to treat POW as terrorist, the young and unprepared Russian soldiers sent to the front should not expect anything else. Under Putin, Russia is acting as a terrorist state and it is to be expected that is granted the same "courtesy" as he has with the adversary.

This if to you, young Russian men: If you do not stop this you will be sent to die for Putin. He is 70, he does not care at all if you live or die and the leaders that will send you to your death know that you are inexperienced and will be facing an experienced and well supplied army that will do anything to defend their land.

Do not die for Putin.

Because you cannot afford it.


It is not out of question certainly. I am not sure about a full loss of al the occupied territory, but there is a decent chance of them loosing it partially at least. Crimea is heavily defended but the Russ have shown their incapability to take Mykolayv and may be forced to retreat further. A few of the chief psychos have been shown the door by Putin, that is certainly a sign of how it goes. I never heard of generals dismissed when they win in modern times.

Anything physical has a value really, is just a question of choosing a storage that is cheap to maintain, easy to liquidate, easy to move,... So the idea of crops may be interesting, it has to be taken with a pinch of salt. Selling food in Amazon or in any other place requires a number of licences and it is not cheap.

There are ways to invest in those asset without the "DIY" element - that would be the funds that invest in forests or agricultural land. That should work as a good proxy for these.

I am quite interested in any type of referral or commission, what is really important for me is that the site really delivers satisfaction for the people I am sending there. On any referral you are putting your reputation in the line, so the site must be trustworthy and able to provide some elements of honesty that make it worth your while. usually, these sites will also be serious about paying yourself when you send referees.

A referral can be an affiliate or not, an affiliate is always a referral. A referral means that you will get something in exchange for sending customers to them. That something may be simply a one-off award or a percentage of the opening balance of the player. An affiliate usually means that you will be getting a cut of the customer expenses in the site or book, that is a more recurrent method of referral payment.

The process of gaining trust is quite complex. It requires hard work and plenty of time and there is little you can do about that. However, here are some ideas:
- Start with a community. You can build a community of interested people by sending newsletters, creating a youtube channel or delivering a podcast for people interested. They will feel they know you.
- You can also join organisations of customer assurance and quality.
- You can use a jurisdiction that has a clear law and is trustable.

I think differently on this, themes are part of the ambience and the interest of the game and make you focus more and enjoy the experience to a higher degree. There is not that much fun if a game just delivers a result and that's it. To put an example, you can run any pc under Microsoft by using a command shell. You write, you get a text result and that's it. Does that look like an Apple at all?

A brand is built overtime. If they have great functionality and design they will be retaining the clients and building brand by word of mouth and by reviews and comments on the internet. You eventually need some advertising to consolidate the brand and make the business grow at a pace to beat the competing casinos. It is a mix you need to get to be know and know for good things.

Shhhh... told you not to say anything! Now all your soldiers will want one and you only got one!

The same solution has been tested by the US. The results are quite dissapointing: short range, dificult to aim, slow response to the threat... again, your Psychos will field a few unsuspecting and untrained soldiers from the eastern regions and the US and Ukraine will have free test dummies.

In general terms he is right. Taking a loan during high inflation is beneficious for the debtor, as the capital is "worth less" as time passes. The important thing is to invest in something that has a return higher than the mortgage rate and that is the key of this strategy. Bitcoin is too volatile, gold works with inflation but only as long as interest rates do not hike, which will happen.

You need something more or less stable that has a physical base, perhaps Commodities, particularly metals.

Loosing heart? The morale and conviction of Ukraine is 100x the Russ. It has taken your glorious Psychos in Chief months to defeat a regiment even under continuous shelling and siege. Is that how you intent to play this war?

Threat of encirclement.. blah blah... The Psychos in Chief of Putin's army have steadily been loosing ground. Interesting... a SU-34 has been downed near Kupiansk. In theory that is occupied territory. I think you got your prediction way out of reality.

Meanwhile, for those that have a VPN, please see here why you should not die for Putin not let your loved ones go to this war. Do not die for Putin.

Do not die for Putin.


Sure, it is just that Putin is not subscribed to Amazon Prime and he does not get next day delivery to the front. That is why Russia has fielded an army from the 80's. All those tricks are secret... shhhh don't tell.


I am starting to believe that he may not have 100% grip on Lukash either. Self-preservation is strong in despots.

The first soldier judged, many more to come  https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-61496428

Do not kill for Putin. Do not die for Putin.

If you continue to test those simpler "proven" solutions with people inside, there may be no more people willing to play dummy.

Javelin's are expensive, agreed. They are 126k USD, but they kill tanks worth 1M USD plus 4 to 5 young Russian soldiers - still good cost-effective. I kind of agree that other AT are better and cheaper.

Nope, NLAW is perfectly effective against Explosive Reactive Armour. See here how the top-attack works. An here how the Russ are using what they call "emotional support armour" or "cope cages" absolutely useless BTW against Javs or NLAWs.

Again, all this is good for short distance. UKR is now getting proper siege artillery, the modern ones that are accurate, fast firing and come with a range of ammo for various situations. We have already seen footage and my guess is we are going to see much more.

At least one exists or three counting on this video. So that must be 6 dachas and 3 tanks.

Your general point is right, there is no proof of any of the in theory sophisticated Russian ground vehicles to actually do anything of what is claimed.

Not advisable = We only have 10 and 1 has a glitch with the aim (shoots inwards). Jokes apart, they are too expensive, it is much cheaper for the Russian Ministry of Sociopathy to send a few dudes from the eastern regions in a T-72. Their strategy on the ground is not about subtlety or technological superiority.

Most tanks are killed by artillery or other armoured vehicles. Javelin missiles have definitely killed armoured vehicles in Ukraine. However, the best thing is that the tanks and other know that they cannot just walk on their own without support or feel confident in attacking an infantry position, not to mention urban warfare. It provides the guy on foot with something that can deal with a tank effectively.

 I particularly find Stugna-P an even better weapon. There is footage of it killing tanks and choppers, soldiers do not have to be there so backfire is not really an issue. Quite a threat, great for ambush.

A good face? You mean like  this

Oh, by all means, go test - the problem of Putin's army has never been having weapons, it is a problem of corruption and poor leadership so any vehicle sent is just another death trap for the young Russ that should be at home fuck*ng their wives and making more little Russ and, instead will die for Putin. Particularly a 30MM with anti-tank is something that most armies have since years ago. Fronts stalled, even some advances by Ukraine in the North and all you have to show is that the last bit of Mariupol conceded after months of siege - and there is no guarantee that it will be kept in the future.

You still think Putin's Russia has something to win from this war. Somehow, Putin will take the coast and perhaps a bit of Donbas and then everyone will call it a day, go home (those who did not die on both sides I mean) and that is it. What could go wrong? Something like Ukraine continuing to fight with plenty of western help is not possible. Or is it?

US strategy is letting Russia bleed itself and it is working. All they are wishing for is another year of war and then another and then more members for NATO... and Putin is just giving it to them. The recession will be worldwide, but you guys are heading for honours.


In case you do not get the last bit - That means big inflation.
