Bro power!

Good to see some Russians on the right side of this war.

On second thought making Putin's recent decisions seem sane does seem like an impossible task.

Medvedev has always been Putin's puppet. Maybe some of the crazy things he has been saying recently is an attempt to make Putin look like the rational one by comparison. Zherinovsky is dead now so Putin needs a new court jester. Kind of like the good cop bad cop routine.

Thank you for your input, yeah I agree so far there is no evidence that China is offering Putin material support for his war in Ukraine. That is why that tweet that I shared that started this whole discussion seemed suspicious.

Is this news credible? If so is it time to sanction China?

Welcome aboard Letter from Prague! Don't know if you are from Prague but I visited that city a few years back. Truly beautiful city.

Some good news.

Ukraine showing it's appreciation for the support it is getting from Great Britain. Queen Elizabeth II bringing down the (n)law.

Maybe I'm a victim living in a "NATO information bubble" as an earlier poster put it but this war does seem really black and white from where I am sitting. You have a much larger country lead by a former KGB dictator attacking a smaller country and killing thousands because he wants to take more land for himself. Said dictator is not happy that countries that used to "happily" live under Moscow's rule are now voluntarily joining Western organizations like NATO and the EU. Who is in the right and who is in the wrong seems rather clear here.

Happy to send some money over. The speed at which we were able to fund this idea is a testament to just how much others appreciate Haiduk's many insightful contributions to this topic.

Can't argue there! Our friend deserves a nice new laptop.

Yeah, if the goal is just to post on the internet you can get a netbook for less than $200 USD.

Putin sympathizers: But what about Russia's legitimate security concerns? Putin: I'm literally fighting a war for conquest of territory.

Absurd.

If I had a subscription to the New York Times I would cancel it by now.

Lavrov gets a though guestion from a Ukrainian reporter in Turkey today regarding Russia's theft of Ukrainian grain. Notice in his response he said Russia's goal is removing "Neo-Nazi's" from eastern Ukraine rather than the whole country.

Some news concerning Ukraine getting new howitzers.

The Russian sailors in the Pacific are probably secretly happy that the Turks closed off the Black Sea to the rest of the ships in the Russian navy.

New photos of the M109 in action.

Doubt this footage is making it to Russian TV.

Members of Putin's gang are starting to look like characters at the final act of an organized crime drama. They see "the boss" is in deep trouble and know the "good times" are coming to an end for many of them.
