After watching a few videos of Putin's recent meetings with his ministers and media, it's really clear to me that absolutely everyone in his sphere is terrified of him. The last one I just saw, they were talking about all the sanctions, and about the future recovery of the ruble, one guy...

Of course it wouldn't, because Trump would have just tried to get Zelenskyy to hand over Ukraine claiming Hunter Biden corruption and worked extra hard to pull the US from NATO so that Russia could feel all nice and in control of Europe. Putin attacked Ukraine now because he realized this might...

Yes, because I am sure the families of the people fighting you are more then happy to enjoy old Russian hospitality. More then likely he just wants enough people he can hold hostage to get many of the fighters to stop fighting.

Remember that huge convoy that has been stuck for days? Russia blamed the delays on faulty Chinese tires, but based on the damage people have seen in photographs, it's beginning to look more like they just left most of the trucks unused, stored out in the open, and tires just degraded over time...

Just finished reading a possible whistleblower report from someone inside the Russian government. If the report is valid, it's going really bad for Russia right now. A few of the key points is that while Russia is officially saying only around 500 soldiers have been killed in Ukraine, internal...

Wish I had a link, but a day or two ago someone compiled a list of the biggest trending topics on Twitter, and last month it was right wing personalities like Ben Shapiro and Sean Hannity, now at the start of this month with the full Twitter and Facebook bans in Russia, all the trending topics...

A very informative video I came across that does a great job explaining the strengths and weaknesses of the Russian forces and why they struggled so much early on.

That is how conscription works. Putin basically called a bunch of people to report for mandatory military training at the border, then based on what we are hearing, told them they were waking up to do "military exercises" before they started getting shot at by Ukrainians. Most of them didn't...

Progress was unfortunately inevitable. Russia has a massive war machine of conscripts and allies willing to join them in Belarus and Chechnya. NATO is too scared of WW3 and nuclear reprisal to fire a shot, and since Ukraine was not a member they felt they didn't have to. However, the...

If that guy ever decides to return to Austin I have a feeling he wouldn't exactly be welcome with open arms. But who am I kidding, the guy looks like a steamed potato. He likely won't survive if he is anywhere near the front lines.

It's hard to know what is true and what it propoganda, but there have been a lot of videos of young supposed Russian POWs from the first day of invasion saying their commanders woke them up to get in trucks for "military exercises" and before they were even told what they were supposed to be...

FIFA has also banned Russia from using their name, flag, or anthem in the World Cup, but has not banned the team from playing. However a few other teams have already said they are boycotting playing against the Russian team.

Take it with a grain of salt, but supposedly not long after entering the country and about an hour or so after the Chechen soldiers posted a video taunting Ukraine, almost the entire division, including the General leading them, were wiped out. Have not gotten an independent verification but...

Finally actually FINISHED Eternals.

This really does feel like he was hoping for another Crimea. I just imagine in his head he saw them walking right into Kyiv, Zelenskyy escaping to EU, which would demoralize the Ukrainians, and then holding "new elections" to install a puppet government, or even just annex the whole region into...

Reports are that Ukraine took back Kharkiv today. From what I read a whole lot of Russian divisions just straight up surrendered due to lack of ammo and fuel, while the rest that were hostile were eliminated. Putin probably should really consider that negotiation Ukraine is offering near Belarus.

It's hard to know what to believe after it came out that fighter pilot story was fake, but the videos I have been seeing have been pretty stark. There seems to be a general trend. 1) Lots of Russian soldiers don't want to fight, and either abandoned the equipment or gave themselves up. One of...

By the last count I saw 200 Ukrainians have been killed compared to 3500 Russian soldiers. Holy shit. If those numbers are true this is a disaster for Russia. Ukraine is hard as fuck.

No they hit a Turkish ship before stopping. The plane they shot down was Russian.

Was just reading that Russia has accidently attacked a few ships since the war started, including damaging a Turkish ship. They also shot down one of their own aircraft today over the Black Sea. Oof. If Putin was attempting to show off the strength and power of his military this isn't really...
