Russian President Vladimir Putin said in a speech Wednesday that Russia should undergo a "self-cleaning of society" to get rid of the "bastards and traitors" as thousands of Russians try to flee the country amid its invasion into Ukraine. "The collective West is attempting to splinter our society," Putin said in a video address shared on Twitter. "Speculating on military losses, on socio-economic effects of sanctions, in order to provoke a people's rebellion in Russia." "But any people, the Russian people especially, are able to distinguish true patriots from bastards and traitors, and will 'spit them out,'" he said of those who do not back the Kremlin. "I am certain that this necessary and natural self-cleaning of society will only strengthen our country, our solidarity, togetherness, and our readiness to answer any calls to action," Putin said. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By hondaciv: Is that a crewman falling from the sky towards the end? Jesus he was in the air a while. I think you see two. One after the third hit on the first tank that takes the corner and takes two flank shots, one of which blows the track off. The tank backs up, spools track, and then takes a third hit. Then when the crew bails I think you see one of the crew get launched. I think at the end, the splat is a crewman or some gear blown off of another tank that is never shown until the very end, located on the corner that the first tank turned down. Kind of hard to tell with the way the edits chop around. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By mancow: That was the single most amazing video of this whole thing so far. That guy blown out of the hatch.... I figured he landed off frame but he was still orbiting the entire time and landed near the end of the video. That was fucking spectacular! The first crew kill that's blown out of the hatch plops down to the front left of the tank. He's lying there when the second crewman (I think TC) gets down and runs past him (the video flips around so the tank is oriented with the front to the left of the frame). Just as he runs by the blob, something blows up to the right, and it looks like the TC caught something from that, and then the other flopper comes down on the street. The blast may have been the second tank that is seen on the corner burning at the very end of the video. |

The Koch Brothers are assholes.
As hundreds of major U.S. companies exit Russia over its invasion of Ukraine, Koch Industries is staying put. The industrial conglomerate the second-largest privately owned business in America, with $115 billion in annual revenue is among those defying public pressure and continuing to operate manufacturing plants and sell products across Russia, while remaining mum on that nation's relentless assault on Ukrainian cities. Wichita, Kansas-based Koch has several business lines in Russia, and is among the nearly 40 companies described as "digging in" by refusing to curb or stop business in that nation, according to a tally compiled by Yale University professor Jeffrey Sonnenfeld and his research team. Koch Industries stays in Russia, backs groups opposing U.S. sanctions |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By stone-age: We can certainly say "Fuck those people, I like my money." But if russia is not contained in ukraine they are going to hit poland. Then it is nato which includes us, and it is WW3. Then we are all going to lose a bunch of money. What did all that covid money get spent on? What do you think money for Ukraine will get spent on? Fucking gender studies for Ukrainian people of color. Probably some abortion clinics. Maybe a park if they're lucky. No doubt the big guy will get his 10%. Anyone supporting that shit hasn't been paying attention. If you want to write checks for that go ahead. Don't spend my money. If you want to stop the baddies of the world, funding globalists ain't the way to do it. EU globalists are loving this shit. UK bailed, Poland was headed that way. Now fucktard Putin has has Ukraine begging to join and Americans wanting to throw money and arms at them. |

Orcs in the Lord of the Rings and other Tolkein works are barbaric, crude, brutal and cruel. It doesn't have a damn thing to do with "Slavic Russian". Considering that Ukranians are also Slavs that's kind of absurd. Tolkien wrote the books as allegory. Orcs were Nazis or Russian hordes depending on the reader’s perspective. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By HiramRanger: No, I'm some shmuck that was nearly bankrupt two years ago from north of $1.5 million in medical bills. I don't make six figures nor have a supermodel wife, ten inch cock or a million dollar supercar and $20 million yacht. I am fact a complete loser by ARFCOM standards. I drive a KIA, and ARFCOM tells me it's a shit car for shit people. I don't own any LaRue or Daniel Defense or KAC firearms. I own jus az gud PSA rifles. I do however realize how blessed I am. I've been dirt poor when I had $50 in my bank account to live on for the next two weeks. I've chosen buying food for my dog over food for myself. I've had the electricity and heat turned off. What I haven't had is my wife or child blown up by an invading army. I haven't watched elderly people bleed out in the street. I haven't eaten out of trash cans because there was no food to be had. I haven't had by business blown up by artillery. I've never been forced to take up arms to defend the only thing I had remaining - my life and liberty. So yeah, I'm willing to tough it out again. I've been through financial circumstances that are far worse than anything $10 a gallon gas might bring to me. I'll clue you in, much of Europe already pays that and they are still there. Not that I want that, but we'll get through it. Maybe I've just been fortunate to come to the realization that some things are bigger than me and maybe I shouldn't always think about myself above all others. It's a perfectly normal thing, self interest, but I can and am willing to make sacrifices to my comfort so others may survive. Just for your reference: Hong Kong – $10.718 Norway – $10.193 Denmark – $9.090 Liechtenstein – $8.945 (updated monthly) Sweden – $8.685 Netherlands – $8.649 Finland – $8.464 Israel – $8.362 Singapore – $8.903 Germany – $8.236 This guy's a patriot and a born and raised 100% american , he keeps on keeping when the shit get's tough and doesn't asks for a hand out. He just keeps getting up in the morning and keeps on trucking. We need more guys like this who never quit. As bad as we think shit is there are a many people worse off than we are. |

Autocrats such as Putin eventually succumb to what may be called the "dictator trap." The strategies they use to stay in power tend to trigger their eventual downfall. Rather than being long-term planners, many make catastrophic short-term errors, the kinds of errors that would likely have been avoided in democratic systems. They hear only from sycophants, and get bad advice. They misunderstand their population. They don't see threats coming until it's too late. And unlike elected leaders who leave office to riches, book tours, and the glitzy lifestyle of a statesman, many dictators who miscalculate leave office in a casket, a possibility that makes them even more likely to double down. |

I specifically looked for articles PRIOR to the onset of hostilities because things were already looking grim then:https://foreignpolicy.com/2022/01/22/russia-ukraine-war-grain-exports-africa-asia/ SNIP These scenarios should not be taken lightly. It has barely been a decade since the uprisings of the Arab Spring, for which rising food prices were the spark that lit the fuse of revolution in Tunisia and Egypt. More recently, one only needs to look at Kazakhstan to see how quickly a rising price for a staplein this case, fuelcan lead to protests, violence, and, in Kazakhstan's case, a Russian military intervention. A population's grievances might be much broader and have accumulated over many years, but it's often a price shock that sets off conflict. Hunger can increase tensions-producing inequality and simultaneously radicalize mass political movements. Interesting infographic from Al-Jazeera: https://www.aljazeera.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/INTERACTIVE-Russian-and-Ukranian-wheat-export.png Now throw in a poor harvest: https://www.spglobal.com/commodity-insights/en/market-insights/latest-news/agriculture/020122-russias-2021-22-wheat-exports-fall-21-on-year-prices-decline Russia's wheat output is expected to fall in MY 2021-22, due to adverse weather conditions, particularly dry and warm summers. Platts Analytics has projected Russia's wheat crop at 77.6 million mt in MY 2021-22. Export prices of Russian wheat fell $11 over the past month, as the government's repeated interventions and escalating tension with Ukraine weighed on the prices. Russia introduced new export tax mechanisms last month, setting an export quota on wheat at 8 million mt over Feb. 15-June 30. Again: These news are from BEFORE war broke out. @Zhukov Then you have this: https://www.reuters.com/business/russia-may-suspend-grain-exports-until-june-30-interfax-2022-03-14/ and this: https://www.tribuneindia.com/news/world/pakistan-government-urged-to-ban-wheat-export-amid-ukraine-russia-crisis-376398 and this: https://asia.nikkei.com/Business/Agriculture/China-warns-of-worst-in-history-winter-wheat-crop So, if a peace agreement isn't made to save the Ukrainian wheat harvest, and things continue on their current trajectory, then you have problems. Don't forget that we have serious food concerns considering our biggest fertilizer supplier is Russia, and fertilizer was already astronomically high before this started from covid/supply chain issues. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Third_Rail:
Did you miss the part about "as a nation"? The vast majority of Russians in Russia either support the heinous government there or refuse to act against it. Of those bold enough to act against it a portion simply shrug and leave forever - are they part of the Russian nation in their chosen new homes? No. Actually, getting Russia out of Ukraine doesn't solve the main problem, which is Russia as an authoritarian and belligerent nation. Any peace deal that leaves Russia's government intact is going to leave the door open to more aggression in the future. Russia needs internal reform. Maybe Ukraine can be the instigator for it, as an impetus to remove Putin. |
