Is this a new one? I'm losing track.
LONDON (Reuters) A senior naval commander in Russia's Black Sea Fleet has been killed in Ukraine, the governor of Sevastopol said on Sunday. Post-Captain Andrei Paliy, deputy commander of the fleet, died during fighting in the eastern Ukrainian port city of Mariupol, Governor Mikhail Razvozhayev said on the messaging app Telegram. The Russian navy did not respond to a request for comment. Sevastopol, which is a major base of Russia's Black Sea Fleet, is located on the Crimean peninsula, which Moscow annexed from Ukraine in 2014.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By PurpleOtter: It's the brain drain that's the issue brought up by the article. This is going to have generational ramifications for Russia. Putin, so far, has failed to do what the Soviets did at the beginning of the cold war and seal his borders. Russia is seeing all of it's educated and talented people leave in a mass exodus. They don't think their own country can be redeemed. I believe the different issues are related. Smart industrious young people in russia are not going to want to stay and be part of a pariah state. These future innovators and teachers will want to leave, they will if they can. Countries with smart people who are innovating, creating, and doing important work are not going to share their creations and productivity with a country that might use them to murder women and children. Russians will not be enthusiastic about helping their own country move forward, they will try to leave and help other countries. |

Because while we may differ on how our country should be run, many people agree that seeing innocent people killed by an aggressor nation invading a sovereign country is generally a bad thing. I’m no Biden fan, but I think his administration has walked a pretty good path here. Aside from the MiG debacle we’re supporting with arms directly and supporting indirectly by supporting European Countries doing the same. A bunch of European countries that have S300s Ukraine could use are magically getting Patriot batteries stationed there being a good example. We’re not the global police but are encouraging European countries to do their part since this is in their backyard and supporting that process pretty well. Just because Dems are supporting something doesn’t mean Republicans should automatically be against it. That’s part of the problem with our politics. We bashed Democrats for “Orange man bad”. We should not fall into the same trap. ETA: there’s always gonna be politics at play…but the core here is that what Russia is doing is bad and we’re playing an appropriate part of stopping that. |

An understatement. Those are the largest pressure pumping, logging, and directional drilling outfits in the oilfield. Good luck drilling blind and not being able to cement casing strings. I don't know if fracking is a thing in Russia, but they're the biggest in the industry for that service as well. They also do stimulation of existing wells, which could impair the future output of aging wells that are already in production. |

The "left" if we are talking about the same thing, is motivated primarily by injustice. And they usually figure it's ok to break the rules because fighting injustice is a higher cause. Ukraine is the victim standing up to the bully. The communist political doctrine is actually hurting them this time because Ukraine is actively fighting injustice. It is also one of their written down tactics to accuse the other side of being nazis because everybody hates nazis. This time, the accused nazi is a jew. Again, injustice. |

I’m completely confused as to why some conservative politicians and personalities like Gaetz, MTG, Boebert, Tucker Carlson, etc are supporting Russia and Russian propaganda. Can someone give me a quick summary on wtf is going on? I think some of it is they know saying something against the popular public opinion will get them a bunch of views. Some of it I think they are trying to make a point, like we are claiming we need to defend Ukraine because it’s a democracy but in the US and Canada the government is doing authoritarian things, so we are kind of being hypocritical. Another example is we seem to care about Ukraine boarders but not our own. Then look at the members of government that own defense stocks. It’s probably not all black and white on motivations for supporting Ukraine, but it still might be wise to question motives, our intentions might not be pure as snow. And just because an option isn’t full support for Ukraine doesn’t mean it’s pro Russia. If someone says we should remain neutral and Russia replays that, is that Russian propaganda? Maybe we should stay neutral as to not appear like we are taking sides, perhaps we should let Europe deal with Europe. Or maybe we shouldn’t, but we should be able to discuss it without being called a traitor. |

Kyiv, Ukraine In a move hailed by pro-Western Ukrainians, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy unplugged three television networks overnight that he said spread Kremlin-funded "propaganda" and served as a bullhorn of an increasingly popular pro-Moscow party. But his ex-Soviet nation of 43 million is polarised linguistically and politically, and the move may prove risky for the political fortunes of Zelenskyy, a former star comedian who hails from a Russian-speaking family. Millions in Ukraine's east and south are Russian speakers without necessarily being pro-Kremlin and their votes propelled Zelenskyy to the presidency against all political odds. Zelenskyy was elected in 2019 with 73 percent of the vote, a staggering figure for a rookie politician whose only experience in the halls of power was the role of an accidental president in a popular TV series. But recent polls show that Zelenskyy's approval ratings have fallen well below 40 percent, reflecting the public's growing dissatisfaction with his inconclusive policies and constant cabinet changes. One of the fiercest Kremlin foes and most successful reformers in the former Soviet Union applauded Zelenskyy's move to close down the 112, NewsOne and ZIK news channels on Tuesday. "He surprised everyone who said he was not capable of decisive steps, and he made the step none of his predecessors had been able to take in the past decades," Mikheil Saakashvili, who served as fellow ex-Soviet nation Georgia's president from 2004-2013 only to be expelled and end up as Zelensky's adviser on reforms, wrote on Facebook. |

Name one fucking media personality at his level who has done MORE to try to highlight the left's hypocracy and lunacy than Tucker Carlson. I understand perfectly why the left wants him gone. What I don't understand is why the average ARFCOMMER wants him gone. Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Eight_Ring: Originally Posted By kncook: Damn. Guess you felt I was talking directly to you.

What I don't understand is why the average ARFCOMMER wants him gone. Is he a commie stooge? Cuz I didn’t say that at all. Are you suggesting a lot of people here aren’t affected by what they have been doing propaganda wise? Are you saying it does or doesn’t exist? Which is it? @Eight_Ring |

Russia certainly should not have invaded Ukraine.
Dems and Rinos certainly should not have been laundering money in Ukraine, and participating in corruption. The US should not have engaged in provocative actions in Ukraine. We should have taken Russian security concerns seriously, and told them we would not place nukess there under any condition, and supported denazification through peaceful means. The green weenies should not have made Europe dependent upon russian energy. NATO countries should have kept up with defense obligations. Joe Biden shouldn't have stolen the election. Ukrainians should not have persecuted ethnic Russians. With all that said, millions of people who had nothing to do with the above stupidity are being made victims of this conflict. I pray that peace can be made soon, and if not, that Ukraine can defend itself. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Eight_Ring: Cool. So now tell me why the left wants to see a war with Russia. The left--who hates America and everything America stands for, some people did some things--remember that left? Yeah--tell me why THEY are so peculiarly interested in involving themselves in Ukraine's war, no matter what the costs. Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Eight_Ring: Originally Posted By outofbattery: What is going on is that the Russian IO aimed at the American right has worked very well. It has been obvious for years and nobody has cared. Cool. So now tell me why the left wants to see a war with Russia.

Yeah--tell me why THEY are so peculiarly interested in involving themselves in Ukraine's war, no matter what the costs. |

There is a difference in having a true 1A vs being in an active invasion and people pushing legit propaganda. |
