Except for the fact that it's the same Russia that Putin evokes.
He shouldn't even be in Russia spouting "peace" crap because the only peace is for Russia to withdraw and any other suggestion is appeasement.
Just an increasingly irrelevant figure trying to look important.
Nice
Where does he condone Putin's actions?
He is speaking about a Russia that existed a very long time ago, not Putin's Russia. If anything, he's pointing out the great differences between the two Russia's.
If it's a terrible source I'm sure it'll be clarified but you can't say "juicy" and not share either.
Go for it if you have a source. Just let people know about the source if possible. Sometimes they are right, sometimes they are wrong.
Is it allowed to post juicy rumours here? Most stuff posted is of a serious nature, with ok-ish sources.
No huge surprise, there. Although if he does have doubles, could he not just send one of them in his place? Wouldn't that sort of be the point of them - to wheel them out to public appearances that might be dangerous?
Obviously, Putin hated Prigozhin's guts after Prig started mouthing off and then did that thunder run toward Moscow, but if polling is to be believed, only 8 percent of Russians believe that Putin had something to do with Prig's death, so him showing up to it wouldn't cause that much head scratching in Russia itself. Putin could even do a eulogy. I wonder if he's secretly a fan of Peep Show? He could quote this with contextual alterations.
It would come as no surprise to me if an organisation that absolutely loves kidnapping and deporting children would have admiration for a regime that does the same.
What is the pope at . His statements offer MORETHAN CRUMBS to Putin to justify the war. The pope , on a number of occasions, has requested that peace be given serious consideration - so is Putin. So he is on the same hymn sheet as Putin - a remarkable achievement for a man in his position.
justwondering if the Popes statement is ACTUALLY from the pope . IIs ie an AI statement. I hope it is
With his ties and admiration for Russia and distain for human rights. He probably will.
I'd laugh if Trump uses the sledgehammer analogy soon.
its for local consumption, and as you know, local bunch by large are not particularly bright.
Just when you think the Russians couldn't sink any lower, SMH:
Seems more like a very accurate description of Putin's Russia...
But their audience are not bright enough to see the absurdity of it and they know it.
At this point, I'm sure that military age Russians are fighting to get jobs that protect them from conscription. Even soul destroying work in any Russian Defence industries.
i guess when the new T14 Armata tank they were boasting about needs a tow back nearly every time they take it out for a spin, easy to se why they go for repairing an older but more reliable model. Plus hey most likely still have a spare parts stock for them.
Yes, and even on twitter ( OOPs Sorry ) X there's been an drop also on Russian troll's replying to anti Putin tweets.
I'd say any homes built by the Russians would make priory hall look like master craftsmanship.
Nice new homes for the Ukranians when the RuSSians are forced out.
This is not the real Putin. This one is a double called "banketniy" who apparently got tipsy and talkative from just one glass of bubbly.
..
Can't wait. I am particularly awaiting posts on ""Beautiful" life in the occupied territories." It will be entertaining.
They are selling at a 20% discount to China and India and they have to sell crude not refined which is another big chunk of profit and also means all their mega refineries are going idle. Also gas sales are way down as this pipelines are no longer in use. russia official figures show that their economy is not good. And those figures are probably inflated.
"Yes comrade, of course you have a choice; you can contribute to the war here, or you can do it on the front lines in Ukraine. Shall I call the plant manager and the local military district commander to make the necessary arrangements?"
Nothing wrong with using a screwdriver for the clamp he was tightening.
But they are probably just making more of the out of date tanks that they have lost.
Found this to be a very infotaining channel in the past and their analysis tends to check out.
The problem is that to use hi tech tools as you describe, the whole assembly needs to be upgraded and modernized, and when you think that this is a Country that does not use pallets or forklifts in their logistics, you will have long way to go. I remember years ago after managing to purchase a new Lada ( no mean feat!!! ) the first thing we had to do was basically check each and every nut and bolt, drain all the liquids and replace them, check and adjust each and every setting on the engines, suspensions , brakes, etc. Then you could actually drive the vehicle, but be prepared for malfunctions, mechanical failures etc.
Well imagine working for a company where the production targets are on an ever increasing spiral, you've just been informed that your working week has been increased from 5 days to 6 days, effective immediately. Oh, and this extra work will be your contribution to the war effort to save the fatherland. Any refusals, complaints, etc. will be considered "Unpatriotic" and be punished accordingly. So even with the best will in the world, not to mention patriotic fervor, you are determined to try your very best, but then you run into another problem. Spare parts / assembly items etc are not available. So now, you are not going to meet your targets. Big Problem for you. So no, nothing to smile and be happy about working in Russian factories.
