One of the deepest problems of these people is that they are always looking for someone to blame for their misfortunes and nightmarish lives. Now they blame the West, Ukraine, NATO, in the future they may blame putin. But this will not lead to anything, since the very feeling of inferiority caused by the resentment experienced by the whole country does not motivate development (and no protests will help it, especially considering the fact that those protest are far away from beeing full-scale). The point is not that it will be too late, but that nothing will change if they simply transfer their accusations to another facility. Instead of constantly looking for someone to throw off the responsibility for their own problems, they should start doing something to solve them. It is to do it yourself, and not wait for the arrival of the "best ruler" who will clean up after the previous tsar. They need to stop placing their hopes on their superiors and start taking responsibility for themselves. Only then can we talk about some changes in russia.
Experts on Russia pulled themselves into the topic. How do you know about deepest problems of Russian people, did you go to Moscow to work to wash toilets at the train station or build an Olympic stadium in Sochi? You think someone can know about something only from his personal experience? I didn’t do all this, but it seems to me, that you did and you are really proud of it So you're not only racist, but elitist snob too? |

Russia has openly offered itself to the West since the collapse of the USSR, and with just a little more feeling for its interests,
which the West could then quite painlessly incorporate with its power its strategic interests in a broader sense - everything
could have been different.
Or you could escape your medieval mentality and understand that maybe, only maybe, the people in Ukraine may actually have something to say about the future of Ukraine and their own future and choose how they want to live and what do they choose to die for. Alas, I am asking the impossible. You live too long under someone's foot and the only thing left in your brain is trying to choose the nicest looking shoe sole to get smashed in fashion. Lol, someone talking about nations and states accusing someone of "medieval mentality" Russia is isolated completely and they have failed this war no matter how it ends from now.Economically speaking and with the sanctions put to them they need at least 40 years in order to keep up with Western advanced technologies which they have no access anymore as they cannot import vital technological chips for their devices,this alone for me is devastating but the results of such move will be felt with the passing of a couple of years.It will be exactly then that Russian citizens themselves will not care anymore about their government and wide protests will go on,they will see how far behind they will be.They will be poorer and they will blame Putin them but it will be too late.
Thats racist...by "completely" you mean remaining 70% world that did NOT isolated them is worthless people? |

Of course it's everybody else that's bad. Finland and Sweden don't invade other countries, but they're bad, Ukraine never invaded, but it's bad, Poland doesn't invade but it's bad, France is bad, the whole world is to blame just not Russians. The more I watch this war going, the more I hope this fucked up country finally bombs itself into oblivion.
After Napoleon, Poland, Kaiser, almost whole world during Bolshevik revolution, Hitler...they saw USA expanding toward their border with MILITARY pact. I'd be nervous if I'd be Russian, too So your "drunk man" example totally missed the point |

Not so bad if it really were the rules for the whole world, like the universal laws of physics or something like that. It's really bad - when these are the rules for the whole world for everyone but you. A particularly bright blaze of asses begins when it turns out that this sword is double-edged.  That "quod licet Iovi, non licet bovi" policy of the West seems main culprit Otherwise we can all surely agree that invading other countries is bad, be it USA or Russia or whoever doing it |

Russia has not ratified the Rome Statute, so for Russian citizens this warrant is a legally insignificant piece of paper. It happens, the USA, Ukraine, China and many other countries have not ratified the Rome Statute either. Moreover, according to the Constitution of the Russian Federation, the incumbent president cannot be held criminally liable. And also in accordance with the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of Crimes against Internationally Protected Persons (Adopted by resolution 3166 (XXVIII) of the UN General Assembly of December 14, 1973), heads of state enjoy absolute immunity. It sounds like you are just undermining the legitimacy of this Convention. Slobodan Milošević probably thought his arrest warrant was a legally insignificant piece of paper too. The NATO bombing of Yugoslavia, the arrest of Milosevic and his murder in prison by the method of not providing quality medical care is perhaps the most shameful page in the recent history of Europe. It is even strange that you draw these analogies here, they are very disadvantageous for Ukraine. They simply can't fathom that they can't make rules for the whole world https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UfLxnIqi4Uc |

Now evaluate what wording is applied to these actions in the report. The offer of free trips is "mobilization for the recruitment of children." The field trips and school program are "political re-education" to "erase his identity" and the lack of information about abuse is due not to the absence of such treatment, but to "cover-up due to cultural stigma and the risk of retaliation." Pretty interesting talk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lBUbLpwig5g |

Russians were smart enough to deescalate during Cuban crisis
Americans during Ukraine crisis...not so much
USA seems eager to start war between China and Taiwan too...I guess
they calculated there's no other way out of 31 trillion debt
Nice theory and maybe true for China and Taiwan but it seems they have calculated well the war in Ukraine too and Putin fell to this trap like a stupid fish.He made his army extremely weak after almost 1.5 years war where he is losing everything from personnel to every kind of artillery and machinery.Russian economy is down on its knees and with this move USA did put out of the way Russia as they are not worthy anymore,no one takes them seriously now,they thought to win the war in three days but even with the passing of three years I doubt they will win anything and even in the remote case that they win and get the 4 new areas,it is inevitable that Ukraine will join NATO then and Russia will be completely isolated,Russian have lost their game this time. You're just parroting western propaganda here, and most of your points are exactly the opposite |

Leaked Documents Reveal Depth of U.S. Spy Efforts and Russia’s Military Struggles
Lol. You just screwed up with NATO's eastward expansion and now you're dragging a leak from a closed "Bear vs. Pig" chat here to build on your success? Huh? I guess you didn't actually read any of my posts in either situation proving all of what you said is false. Dude, this is not a vegetable market, but a forum - and the arguments on the forum are usually not counted, but weighed. If you repeated nonsense several times, it did not become true, no matter how much you would like it. Your prooflink was weak, besides, you yourself guessed from it what was allegedly meant there. It doesn't work that way. Its fun to watch how MSM is exaggerating anti-Russian parts of leak, while downplaying or not reporting on anti-USA parts of it (spying on all allies and even UN, for example, or NATO personnel actually been present on the battlefield) |

Interesting voting in the Duma. The RF seems to be doing so well and having so much success that from now on the citizens can be notified of them being mobilised by an "email" (short of) and, just in case, they are no longer allowed to remove or delete their account from the electronic system of the government (most have an account).
So... yes, they have played the "patriotic card", then the "good pay" card, then the "slave army" card, then the "pardon for criminals" card... and there it goes a new one "you cannot scape" card. Who knows, maybe even some of the people from Moscow and St Petersburg might be mobilised.
Needless to say that this is about the Kremlin psychos noticing that the Ukrainian offensive to recover their land may go as far as breaking the bridge to Crimea. Bad news is that modern warfare is not about throwing meat into the grinder. BTW, this is a recognition of "being at war" since, none of this can be legally done unless at war.
Yep, the deputies of the State Duma adopted in the third reading a law that they didn’t even read (they had less than an hour to get acquainted with the voluminous package of amendments). I think that in Russia in the foreseeable future there will be a second wave of partial mobilization, and for Ukraine this is bad news. There will be no peace talks, there is no one to negotiate with. Ukraine will suffer a military defeat. So, somehow the fact that Putin had to mobilise more soldiers to launch into the meat grinder is "good news" for the RF? Oh well, you must be very sure that you will not be one of the lucky winners of the one-way ticket to the front. The rest is just blah, blah... all wars end with peace talks and the RF is facing so many challenges that it may just have to stop whether Putin is happy with it or not. It is of no use to have another wave of soldiers if they do not have the means to fight in a modern war and have to keep on using WW II tactics and trench war for each meter of land. I guess you missed leaked USA documents proving all you just said is false? |

A big chunk of the military budget obviously went somewhere besides the military....
Obviously. If they intend to compete with USA, they need at least 2 wars in every decade, to keep army in good shape and root out corruption And keep NATO unified and NATO membership attractive to other countries, especially those that share a border with Russia. No other person is more responsible for NATO expansion than Vlad. Isn't it crazy to think that since invading Ukraine, Russias border with NATO countries has doubled? Yes, because before war, Finland and Sweden was Russia-friendly and Russia allies |

Did the IRA only hit legitimate targets during a war? Did they not, for example, set bomb a city centre with no particular strategic value or target?
The fact that a concealed bomb is used does not make it a terror attack. RF is at war with Ukraine, espionage, propaganda and production centres are legitimate targets. It would be not be acceptable to bomb a supermarket, shell a Theatre or kill civilians, steal their property and mass-grave them.
I support the peaceful (read it again) right to self determination and, in general, a military defensive response against a military attack with the objective of reaching a durable peace. More so when a democracy or something that could become a true democracy is at war with a despot.
Why are Falklands still occupied? Why is Russia still occupied? Because Putin still didn't purge all oligarchs that were plundering it and transferring money to the West |

I would not say exactly "karma". A known centre of propaganda and a gathering of people that, not being the army officially, but clearly part of the war effort in terms of spreading mis-information and pro-Z propaganda, and probably directly involved in cyberthreats... sounds to me like a perfectly valid war target. I guess war is no longer than patriotic and marvellous when you know they can blow you ass in St Petersburg right under the podcaster chairs of the "keyboard patriots division". Alas, it will take many more people's lives in both sides to get to the peace that should have never been broken. So you supported IRA bombing in UK? |

Is that a dress for elves or something?  I heard Finns removed swastika from military insignia so to be able to join NATO. But its probably just for PR reasons |
