Ukraine

My closest friend lives in Moscow, so I have very regular contact. He reported 2 days ago that a number of Polititions in St Petersburg offically called for the sacking of Putin. He then stated that a number of Polititions in Moscow mirrored the sentiment. The sentiment can be summed up by this translated quote " We ask the President to resign due to the fact his views (sic) outdated beyond hope and prevent Russia from delevoment"
I know nothing of Russian politics but I am thinking they would not have made a statement without some sort of leverage, because they all face the wrath of POO-TIN and they risk there own freedom and perhaps lives.
I wonder how much length and breadth this sentiment has at those levels and how what it means in optential outcomes. I think this is exiting as it is the first such stirring of this type, as I understand it and the opinion of my Moscovite freind. -
Wow Liam I had to go look that up, and it's true! What I was hoping, that the people would rise up against that guy, could be happening.
This is that statement- “The rhetoric you and your subordinates use is full of intolerance and aggression,” the statement said. “People once again fear and hate Russia while we threaten the whole world with nuclear weapons.” The Lomonosovsky district added: “Therefore, we ask for you to be relieved of your duties as your views and governance model are hopelessly outdated.”

Unknown to many outside Russians get a lot of information through Telegram it is very popular now and is fully enkypted, so a popular form of secure information platform Thats how I had this news days ago.

It seems the boot is on the other foot militarily too with significant gains by the Ukrainians.
They seem more positive than ever that they can win on the ground which is a good sign.

It saddens me to see continuing revelations of humanitarian crimes in this conflict. Various mentions to the effect that Putin is being criticised with impunity suggest he is coming to the end of his popularity in Russia. For the sake of everyone, including Russians, I wish they would get a move on and depose Putin and his murdering associates. Before they do something monumentally bloody stupid and devastating for all.
Stay well folks, you and yours.

Mordor is heading to mobilization. It's a matter of nearest period.

Discovering those crimes on the recaptured grounds would remain an everlasting wound on the face of humanity. It has been a while since I have not chased after the Ukraine news as here has been an absolute mess after the death of Mahsa Amini. such tragic death...

It seems that Putin is wanting to play the territorial card, you fight in 'our' territory in Ukraine and you invade Russian soil.
This is the only way he can manage his war with anything resembling legitimacy so, where does he go from here?
I reckon he will go defencive and use the called up troops to reinforce those already in claimed territories before launching another attack when he thinks the situation has cooled somewhat.
Either way he is a parentless brat.

Insanity is ruling. Here I think it is obvious in domestic and international policy. The uprising is suppressed brutally and the government supports the Poo-tin inasion. Pure insanity.
-
To put it simply mate, ALL the idiots have their toys out and are playing Richard Tator in the sand box.
The thought process that comes up with their actions just boggles the mind.

The thing that worries me ATM is Winter in Ukrain, Poo-Tin is systematically cutting of water supplies and electricity for heating and evertything else. The winter campain for Ukrain will be even more brutal than it is now. Poo-Tin had the audacity to call the destruction of part the Russia, Crimea, on the Kerch Strait an "Act of terrorism"..........words fail me now...................

I predict if orcs from your brother Mordor would drop a nuke on St.Sofia cathedral in Kyiv in 5 minuted you'd post some shitty RT trash about "Yankees were first in Hiroshima" wouldn't you?I am glad you people still know that fact.
And that "Orcs" did not do it, but Yankees.I accidently gave that a thunbs up

It;s a pity that people have forgotten why the bombs were dropped, the horrific and brutal behaviour of the regime they were dropped on and the lives that were saved BECAUSE they were dropped.
The expected casualty figure should and invasion of the home islands be required is staggering.
Japanese women were making balloon bombs for dropping on the US mainland, and being executed for eating the potato based glue because they were literally starving.
I suppose that is inconvenient.

"It's astounding," he says. "While we were looking at some of our own casualty estimates, the Japanese military was doing much the same thing, and the figure of 20 million appears again and again."
