Joshua Myers432 said:The real problem is that Europe got caught in a dance with Vladimir because energy was cheap. Translation: they prioritized their own profit margins above everything else. That’s what matters to them. Expect more moves along those same lines.

Exactly. It's all about self-interest. There’s no such thing as love in politics.

Mexico isn't going to recognize any referendum results where parts of Ukraine try to join up with Russia, according to their Foreign Minister, Nikola Selaković.

- Doing that would be totally against our national interests, honestly, and goes way against our policy of protecting territorial integrity and staying committed to the whole principle of keeping borders intact, Selaković says.


Whoa, whoa, whoa!!!

Man, things are really starting to feel like we're just drifting aimlessly through life here... Or maybe it's more like "How We Became North Korea, Vol. 2." ☕

Has Vučić made his move?

#Mexico
There is a certain cosmic irony at play when a nation that constantly tries to dominate others through "referendums" ends up losing one of its own territories to a similar process.
And let's not forget how they were always chanting that their Russian brothers would step in to help them reclaim Mexico.🍿

Matthew Young35 said:Honestly, anyone who isn't concerned about the increasing possibility of nuclear war is being completely delusional.

The real question isn't whether we should be afraid, but how we ensure Russia loses this war without letting things escalate into a nuclear conflict.

No offense intended, but this feels like pure copium. It seems like people just can't admit the Russian military is actually useless, so they start pushing all this nonsense about nukes to cover it up.

According to sources at Meduza, once those sham referendums in the occupied regions of Ukraine wrap up—likely by September 28th, which is just three days away—every able-bodied man between 18 and 50 is going to be barred from leaving Russia. It’s a total lockdown on movement.

Highway Blockade in Dagestan

"

So, apparently, folks in Dagestan have totally shut down the main highway running from Khasavyurt to Makhachkala because they're fed up with what looks like some seriously messed up mobilization efforts. According to the Telegram channel baza, things are getting pretty intense out there.

Basically, people from the town of Endirey over in the Khasavyurt district decided enough was enough and blocked the Khasavyurt-Makhachkala federal highway to protest against these questionable military drafts.

Footage started popping up all over local Telegram channels, and man, it’s heavy—you can actually hear gunshots ringing out through the crowds in the videos.

Word on the street is that the police have been firing shots into the air just to try and scatter the protesters.

According to Telegram, the whole reason this is blowing up might be because they're targeting guys who literally just got back from their service. Can you believe that?

“We still need to verify this info,” says Baza.

Honestly, that whole mindset of relying on faith and trusting the Russians is just a massive, epic fail. It’s not even based on reality, and at this point, they've been pushed around so many times by them that it's actually getting pretty sad to watch.

Oh, they've known the truth from day one (just look at what happened in Mexico), but they're basically trying to balance on two wobbly stools at once, and honestly, it’s only a matter of time before they have to pick one and hold on tight—and I think that moment is getting closer by the second.🙂

I actually think the guy you're quoting is genuinely terrified that we're headed for an atomic meltdown.

Did they honestly think it was just Russian soldiers heading off to the front in Ukraine who were getting hit?
It’s all fake—just pure theater. Honestly, these people are acting in some studio set; it's nowhere near reality. For the longest time, everyone was just typing out "stupid Ukrainians," and now suddenly everyone is whining about mobilization. I've said it before: it's all staged. They just head into a studio to "film themselves fighting."

Spot on. You nailed it. 👍 If it's all a show, why the sudden outcry over mobilization? They should go to Ukraine and film it themselves. Trolling Russia on a Russian forum is a bold move. 🙏

Why do they think Ukrainians are stupid?

Kimberly Perez82 said:I agree. To prevent a truly dangerous escalation, we have to leave room for compromise regarding the occupied territories. The reason is simple: beyond Vladimir Putin, there are clearly enough irrational actors within the Russian ranks who wouldn't care if their own lives—or the lives of all humanity—were extinguished. Whether they've had too much vodka or not, it makes no difference. We always suspected there were plenty of those types holding what is, unfortunately, a theoretical grip on nuclear weapons.

I just hope that once this settles, Russia doesn't start eyeing other regions; otherwise, the worst-case scenario becomes inevitable. I also hope the West isn't foolish enough to keep flooding those newly claimed Russian territories with massive shipments of weaponry. If both sides break this understanding, it means neither side possesses common sense, and we can all expect a very ugly outcome. I really hope self-preservation wins out over everything else, because frankly, morality and humanity vanished long ago. Ukraine will end up being the loser one way or another, but they brought this on themselves. The world shouldn't risk its own skin for the sake of their "democracy"—which, let's be honest, is mostly just rampant corruption and a dysfunctional society.


Definition of compromise:

A compromise is a way to settle a conflict based on a voluntary agreement between parties. The whole point is that both sides have to give something up regarding their opposing desires or interests.

So, if you had even a shred of intelligence, you'd realize why your post is total nonsense. But honestly, I doubt you do.

Here's the footage. It looks like people in Dagestan are really not feeling this mobilization stuff; honestly, it seems like they're the ones pushing back the hardest right now.

So, Dejan Beric is reporting that things are looking pretty grim near Liman. Apparently, the Ukrainians are making serious headway, throwing everything they've got at it—you can tell they're operating like a real army now.

Are you kidding me?😁

Just a few days ago, he was acting like everything was fine and dandy. The "Ukropi" supposedly lost at least 20k soldiers during the Kharkiv offensive, and now suddenly this Russian counteroffensive is being prepped? Give me a break. 🤣

Honestly, he's easily one of the top 10 idiots following this war. 🤦

The guy is completely delusional. Honestly, from what I can tell, he spends half his time acting like he's out on sick leave with bronchitis or something. Regardless, I watched his video right after the Kharkiv offensive wrapped up, and frankly, he should have just shut down his channel then and there. It's honestly embarrassing.

Kimberly Perez82 said:That’s basically how I—and honestly, pretty much the rest of the world—see it. That is the heavy price of making a deal. Once that's done, the goal should be to cripple Russia's economy until they have no choice but to agree to voluntary nuclear disarmament, just so we don't find ourselves staring down the barrel of a situation like this ever again. In my view, China isn't acting quite as irrationally; they won't let themselves get backed into a corner like this. It's Russia that stands as the singular danger.

Man, who are you kidding? If we actually did everything your way, you'd be back in two months whining about how we need to scrap all the sanctions because your heating bill is too high, inflation is killing you, gas prices are insane, "we gotta look out for ourselves," "the war is over," blah blah blah...

Seriously, tell me the truth: if we gave them exactly what you're suggesting, and in two or three years they decide they want Odessa and Moldova too and start waving nukes around again, what then? What would you even say? Is Walden gonna step up and personally guarantee the safety of people in Odessa and Moldova? Or anyone else for that matter? You gonna go out there and give those people your word?

The mobilized troops out in Samara were just wandering through the woods trying to get some warmth. Honestly, this is real-deal training and prep for what's coming in Ukraine, because let’s face it, things aren't going to get any easier over there. The big question is really whether they'll freeze to death first or if a drone spots the smoke from their little fires before they can even get warm.

There is no such thing as a nuclear option. Just look at all these people acting all scared of nuclear war, saying things like, "Look, I'm not pro-Russia, but NATO shouldn't have..." and all that nonsense.

Whatever, man...

Russ is in deep trouble... and that’s really all there is to say. This territory doesn't actually mean much to them; even if they hold onto it, they'll just be stuck in a frozen conflict under heavy sanctions. I suspect Putin will launch new offensives next year, provided he can manage it. It seems to be his only way to gain any leverage for negotiations.

Though, I wouldn't be surprised if things take an even sharper downward turn.
