Well if they're just going to continue to act like clowns, the only thing they deserve is for us to clown them.

After he stops crying he plans on running just as fast as he can G. The Ukrainian offensive, their counter attack, is kicking the shit out of the Russians. All those who report on the war standing at a map is going to show just how successful the Ukrainians have been

Hey Signym, tick tock comrade I told you so.

The broken mind to the kid chaotic Russian Army. Quelle sont les victoires de Napoléon, the French leader who fought across Europe and into Eurasia. Napoleon Bonaparte "In war, the moral is to the physical as three is to one."
Local militia the Guerrilla warfare is working a form of irregular warfare that is costing Russians. The reddit style jihad Mercs are idiots they are doing more harm to both sides it seems. Putin is a disaster now but the Kamala Harris and Biden's White House is in shambles, the War will drag on a while, Ukraine people will suffer under terrible conditions, Russian military will go broke trying to hold land they can not, Putin's ape like leadership, an idiot with expensive toys of death will have them bogged down.

How Putin became the victim of his own lies. Vladimir Putin and the dangers of yes-men.

Sean Illing: I’ve been working on a book that makes an inverse argument about democratic systems: The Paradox of Democracy -- Free Speech, Open Media, and Perilous Persuasion
https://press.uchicago.edu/ucp/books/book/chicago/P/bo146792768.html

Democracies contain the seeds of their own destruction in the sense that their openness unleashes forces that often undermine the very freedom on which they depend, and you’re saying that closed totalitarian systems also implode from within precisely because they’re too closed. I’m curious what, if anything, you make of that?

Brian Klaas: Oh, that’s interesting. The unifying thread is that it’s really important to have a shared sense of reality in any political system. What’s happened to Putin is that he’s succumbed to a fake reality that he himself created, and then he’s had that reality mirrored back at him by people who are afraid to tell him the truth.

In the United States, for example, you have people who find it politically advantageous to lie about the world. Many of these people understand what’s actually happening, but they also find that it’s in their political self-interest to construct and parrot this fake reality back to their own base who believes it.

But I do think you’re hitting on a parallel in the US. Because we no longer agree about what’s real and what’s not, we are dysfunctional. We have people shooting up pizzerias because they believe that there are children in the basement. That’s somebody who’s miscalculating based on a belief in a fake reality. It’s a similar dynamic.

The difference is that our leadership exists in a broader information sphere that is more reflective of reality and does provide checks on those things. When QAnon becomes popular, we have loads of people who start debunking QAnon. It doesn’t get through to everybody, but at least it exists.

The main parallel is that when a significant chunk of people in your society no longer inhabit reality, you’re in trouble. You’re particularly in trouble when people in elected office or in power no longer inhabit reality. I think in that situation, I’d still rather be in a democracy than a dictatorship, but it’s still truly worrying that it’s happening in a democracy.

Hey!

If shutting down Russia's pipeline will punish Putin and screw up the Russian economy, why did Biden shut down the U.S. pipeline?

Asking for a friend.
