I guess China will swoop in to save the day with their advanced commercial aviation. Not that it matters—you can always find other ways to reach Russia besides flying. But hey, you're the one who kept insisting that Russian autarky was the ultimate solution. 😵

Maybe they were just diverting limited production capacity toward more "useful" things. Or maybe—just maybe—the workers who haven't been mobilized yet will suddenly become super-productive, cranking out ten times the toilets while somehow building a tank or a helicopter on the side.
You haven't checked the site. That company specializes in high-end gold Polish WCoves. Because heaven forbid Russia be saturated with decent sanitary products.
The White House is currently discussing with American employers The introduction in The Coming Weeks of a "one-time voluntary contribution" from companies to the federal budget. "We expect this contribution to be about 300 billion dollars," or 3.8 billion EUR according to Goldman Sachs. It’ll be interesting to watch this unfold—the propagandists have been laying the groundwork for a while now. This kind of move just creates a massive pool of domestic enemies, which usually means extreme repression is right around the corner. That's 3.8 billion for the treasury... makes you wonder how much more is being pocketed for "protection" against local crime.
Kadyrov’s little idea about individual states and regions forming their own battalions within the Russian Federation—honestly, it was a pretty sneaky move. I just hope that behind the scenes of all this mobilization, they're actually putting something like that into motion. It opens up a very real possibility for decentralizing power in Russia.
Benjamin Taylor6 said:That’s exactly why Putin is going to declare those occupied territories part of Russian soil. The whole referendum thing is just a setup for that goal.
The legal goal here is basically to find a loophole—something that lets them send mobilized troops into war while dodging those extra combat bonuses you'd normally owe someone fighting overseas. I honestly don't get how people miss such basic logic.

Probably Medveschuk and that general. Russian nationalists will be losing their minds—the general who let that stuff happen near Kharkiv, plus tycoon Medveschuk. Just what Russia needs right now.
Swapping out Prokopenko and Palamar for Medvedchuk—that’s some wild PR maneuvering by Putin. Honestly, I don't see how the Russians can spin this one successfully.
Some faction within the FBI is playing the anti-war card just because it doesn't suit their own interests—honestly, it’s probably just some radical students running amok, if you ask me.

🤮
That’s a total straw man argument. I don't see how my following anyone has anything to do with this. 😑
Donna Harris11 said:And here go our local media outlets again, desperately scrambling to justify the assassination of this complete nobody. wtf
Looks like that fake democratic veneer they love to flaunt is cracking pretty fast, I guess.
Hundreds of kids are dying in Ukraine, yet people are losing their minds over some insignificant figure. Then they have the nerve to lecture us about how the world is upside down at the coffee shop.
Donna Harris11 said:The international left-liberal trash on Twitter and Reddit is out here celebrating some terrorist act, killing some random girl who doesn't even matter.
I mean, let's be real, I bet 99% of them probably hadn't even heard of her or Dugina until today, right?!
It’s pretty hard to watch, too—honestly. Why didn't the President just go himself? Biden, what actually went down? Dugin was clearly the target, but who was really pulling the strings?
Jose Clark2 said:Forgive me, but there is a distinction. There is one thing: being a journalist on the front lines and dying in combat. Then there is quite another: dying in an explosion involving a private vehicle far from the fighting. Most likely a mistake, and yet she still pushes the same agenda as her father.
Seems like you haven't really done your homework on her life and work.
