staggering stats:
1 in 5 Russian doesn't have indoor toilet
1 in 4 doesn't have access to internet
1 in 8 lives on less than $6/daySignificant portion of Russia lives in 3rd-world-country conditions.
When you have absolutely nothing, the only thing keeping you alive is pride. And here is why the neo-Stalinist at the helm of that country is doing so well the the polls. He has nothing to offer to those poor other than pride in the Great Russia. With no other prospects, they gladly take that mirage.- Like usa and trump, Uk and Boris...shapesalad
- Resilient folk. They wont have as far to fall when it all goes tits up.********
- Ukraine is the same, life quality wisedrgs
- fundamental difference is outlook on life: poor of Ukraine want more; poor of Russia want others to have nothing too.pr2

its crazy we're getting live update of the scores...
this is the first conflict/war to have this i think...- no. desert storm bombings were scheduled to coincide with the nightly news. even had trading cards.imbecile
- i think the purpose of trading card was to distribute bounty posters by the american.pango
- no. https://www.google.c… president, generals, etc. obscene grandioseimbecile
- ooof i guess it went outta control.
it was a method to spread bounty posters. they had it on playing cards and match books.pango - wanted: dead or alive https://cconnect.s3.…imbecile

- i mean if you can capture that missile, good for you.pango
- https://i.cbc.ca/1.5…pango
- i remember that deck of playing cards. that was a different thing than the trading cards. which weren't used as bounties. capitalism at its worst/bestimbecile
- Why was it called the "most wanted "playing cards? And was distributed for free. Just because one thing is true doesn't mean the other can't be.pango
- the only point i have been trying to make is the ones I have been referring to were not used as bounties, but as toys for kids. they were two different sets.imbecile
- You kept saying bounty and i kept saying no because they are two different things. yes those exist, no, not what i was talking about.imbecile
- Well we were talking about different thing thenpango
- You kept talking about trading cards but that's not what I was talking about lolpango
- high fives to us for something new from the otherimbecile
- i wonder though. if you knew about the bounty cards, what made you think this was the first war for us to watch the score live? you seemed to know better.imbecile
- it didn't feel as instant as twitter and 24/7 news and youtube. at that time news were only consumed at 7pm every day.pango
- also quantity as perhaps. everyone with a youtube account is a news source now.pango

One of Abramovich's yachts docked in my town amid protests by the sea.
In other news, Zelenskyy asked Biden to hold off the sanctions specifically against Abramovich saying he'll be the mediator for peace negotiations. I think he's trying to gain extra time to save her wealth.

Crazy footage of the large ship hit.
A Ukrainian UAV hit a landing ship in Berdyansk. It’s burning and trying to leave port in this video.
https://twitter.com/michaeldweis…
Russian ships “Saratov", "Caesar Kunikov", and "Novocherkassk" were all hit.
"Saratov" losses are unknown, fire continues in the stern. Due to threat of ammunition exploding, the ship was sunk to a depth of 5m.

A 95-year-old Ukrainian woman who lived through Soviet-era famine and World War II said she’s “never seen anything as horrible” as the Russian invasion.
- to be fair, she probably didn't see what the Soviet army, including her own, did in Germany..Nairn

3 large ships hit, 1 destroyed, 1 badly damaged, 1 slightly damaged.
This is so fucking nice.
- This rolling coal trend has gotten out of hand.palimpsest
- ^ I just learned about that recently.
Fuck if humans aren't screwed...Nairn - They got struck with a Ukr ballistic missile and drone fire apparently.NBQ00
- Rolling coal: douchbagism: https://en.wikipedia…jagara
- rolling coal, while visually obscene isn't shit compared to corporate waste. corporations do love it when you blame the individual, thoughimbecile
- Isn't that the same flavour of logic cryptoBros use to defend obscene energy use for Their Thing, ignoring the per capita impact?Nairn
- I've only seen people 'rolling coal' to expressly give two fingers to tree-huggin libtards, etc.Nairn
- er. ."ignoring the per capita impact of the global finance system versus their gamblerbation"Nairn
- Greta wants a word to both sides regarding all that pollution. David attenborough just got back from snorkelling in the Black Sea and isn't happy.shapesalad
- i'm not justifying, i'm just saying people love vilifying individuals over corporations. I think you know I don't give a fuck. *looks at garageimbecile
- as far as the crypto comparison, I don't think CO2 waste is comparable to wasting electricity to lose fake money.imbecile
- something tells me this was more impactful than all the "rolled coal" last year https://www.indy100.…imbecile
- but yeah, people love to hate on the redneck douchebag with their superiority complex. Obviously, it's about the person, not the pollution.imbecile
- Example: my race ready motorcycle & straight piped car are probably just as offensive. No one cares, they can't see it to be offended, only because it's gas.imbecile
- imbecile, are you done?NBQ00
- further, everyone LOVES my TBird... the carbureted, leaded gas drinking antique. That thing is terrible for the environment, but it's pretty so no one complains.imbecile
- while I'm on it, there are the 2009-2015 2.0 liter diesel VW engines that circumvent EPA emissions standards. Who's yelling at those drivers?imbecile
- Jesus Christ dude.NBQ00
- again, in summation, rolling coal is targeted at hating a personality type, not a pollution problem. Thank you for coming to my TED talk.imbecile
- NBQ00, do you want to suck my dick? you can get in line.imbecile
- this you NBQ? https://i.imgur.com/…imbecile

"Throughout your reign you served nor God nor Russia,
But simply followed your own star —
Your deeds, both good and bad, mere empty masquerading,
The falsest of façades, a mockery degrading:
You were an actor, not a Tsar."Tyutchev to Russian tsar Nicholas I, who, anticipating humiliating defeat in Crimean war, which he started in 1853, full of remorse for the disasters that he had caused, caught pneumonia and died
If history repeats itself Putin will catch the covids and croak

- Most likely "cause of death: covid" will be the explanation presented to the russian public, the real reason will be assassinationdrgs

Relatively sensible breakdown of how Nato should respond to various Russian escalation scenerios, written by a former US ambassador to the organisation.
Mostly portportionate-response stuff, but still a terrifying prospect that — possibly, eventually — Nato will get sucked in, to one degree or another.
'Putin may ramp up his war in Ukraine – here’s how Nato should respond'
- Eh ... proportionate*Continuity
- Step 1: Putin says it's just military practice when putting all of his military along the boarder = Response: drop nuke on top of Putin.shapesalad

Norway, Estonia and Latvia - Nato members that border with Russia. So why the beef with Ukraine?
- Putin essentially want's to make Russia great again. He wants back essentially what he feels is Russia's. It was never about NATO or Neo Nazi's.utopian
- They were alway false pretexts and propaganda for war with Ukraine.utopian
- a disproportionate amount of the great imperial russian and soviet figures are from the ukraine https://en.wikipedia…kingsteven
