Damn the MAGAts, Latinos, Blacks and Michigan Arabs who voted for the imbecile. It’s been only a month, and the country is already a cesspool.

What is never mention is the war weariness of 🇷🇺 people, the loss of young men, sanctions and heavy depletion of armoury/hardware.It could possibly be the weakest moment in #PewTinTheWarmonger history?

🇺🇸 Just 6.5 miles away from 🇷🇺 territory off Alaska.

Because there isn’t weariness of russian people. The russian people would also like Ukraine to surrender. But yes, the Russian economy might not survive the war effort much longer

This BBC piece explains it well: https://bsky.app/profile/bbcstever.bsky.social/post/3lirqfnm4ak2x

The BBC was once a great news service, before hard right loyalists were placed at the top. So another source a little more independent would be good.
No public surveys come out of 🇷🇺 that are vetted. Why did PuTin ban young men from leaving?

This journalist's anything but right-wing, but okay. Here's a whole book: https://www.amazon.ca/Russias-War-Jade-McGlynn/dp/1509556761 .Young men are NOT banned from leaving. Truly, most experts on russian politics acknowledge the war is popular w a broad segment of the population and the antiwar opposition is brave, but small.

You can also read this Russian opposition media in exile. Even they recognize (and regret) the fact that many many Russians are fully supportive of this war and volunteer to go kill Ukrainains. Russian society will not stop the war. https://meduza.io/amp/en/feature/2025/01/23/happy-people-don-t-go-to-the-frontlines

The Russian people share a collective guilt.

Amen, if you dont rise, your no better than those bending down.

Getting others to do its dirty work on its behalf is classic Russkie strategy.

This was absolutely embarrassing. Something we could only conceive of in our worst dreams...
