@Alfred what is a PGM?
@Dane
Yes, but these loonies are family and neighbors.
@Render @th3j35t3r
Is this hubris?
Stupidity?
Incompetence?
Or ignorant leaders not assessing the situation?
Or, are they using the Belarussians as fodder to soften up the Ukrainians?

You are meeting her parents for the first time and it is not going well.
@mcfate
Thanks!
I can now categorize my old girlfriends.

Every time I see this scumbag I think about how he must have implanted bugs in the Oval Office when T%$^& invited him there.
Less than two weeks after invading Ukraine, Russian forces have lost 11,000 people, the Ukrainian military said on Monday.

The Ukraine cause is deep. Very deep.

I hope they are carrying the right USB cable.

This will be an incredibly volatile shitshow.
You really don't want a nuclearized country failing catastrophically.
Systematically? Maybe.
Someone should be designing an East/West-Germany-Post-WW2 partition plan for Russia before it's needed.
@WeThePeople
I think the denominator is "deployed to the boarder assets" and not total Russian forces. They've merely crossed into Ukraine.
@mcfate
I think Putin also read Marcus Aurelius' "The Meditations". There is plenty of ammunition in there for a dictator to justify his ideology.

Here's another long and good thread to check out from Kamil Galeev of the Woodrow Wilson Institute:
Let's discuss what's happening in Russia. To put it simply, it's going full fascist. Authorities launched a propaganda campaign to gain popular support for their invasion of Ukraine and they're getting lots of it. You can see "Z" on these guys' clothes. What does it mean?
Statesmen will invent cheap lies, putting blame upon the nation that is attacked, and every man will be glad of those conscience-soothing falsities, and will diligently study them, and refuse to examine any refutations of them; and thus he will by and by convince himself that the war is just, and will thank God for the better sleep he enjoys after this process of self-deception.llll

I think Putin is going to nuke or gas Kyve.
He will go down in a rage.

If you were wondering about whether the Russians really influence our social media, compare the list of top Facebook posts from a few weeks ago to this week, when Russia couldn't access its foreign cash reserves. Rather telling.
On the left, Feb 12th, long before the war began and Russia killed FB & Twit,.... on the right, yesterday, with all the Russian bots and gremlins gone
A Pro-Russian march in Belgrade.
