President Vladimir Putin’s spokesman informed Russians this week that the “special military operation” that Putin launched in Ukraine in February 2022 was set to go on much longer because it is now “a war against the collective West.”
That’s right: a war.
It was remarkable to hear that word from Putin’s spokesman Dmitry Peskov. Journalists were explicitly banned from using it as the invasion began and thousands of Russians have been detained, fined and imprisoned for telling the truth about a war which has now been raging for almost two years.
“Moscow deputy Aleksey Gorinov was sentenced to seven years in prison for saying ‘war,’” Sergey Davidis, head of the Political Prisoners Support group, told The Daily Beast. He said over 20,000 Russians have now been detained and punished for protesting against the war. “That includes 131 Russians who have been sentenced to long prison terms in punishment for peaceful or for more radical anti-war actions,” he said. “I don’t think punishments against the war will now be milder after the Kremlin openly says ‘war.’ Putin will be next to declare it.”
no you stupid russian cunt you are not at war with the west, you are at war with ukraine and they are making your mighty army look like fucking clowns.
If you would be at war with the west, you would be pretty much done by the end of the week and now for the love of god do us a favor and skip to the chapter where you put a fucking gun to your mouth and pull the trigger.
Honestly how have there not been any successful assassination attempts on this mf yet, seriously. Let’s get on with it, shall we. I’m over Putin already, since even before the war.
Unfortunately it won’t prevent another one taking his place. Especially with the 2020’s constitutional referendum that basically lets Russian war criminals get away unpunished. I think the whole country is fucked beyond repair at this point.
Probably. It’s quite uncomfortable having them this close to Europe, as a European.
Risky take, but I’m glad the US hasn’t done that. We have a terrible track record. It never seems to help, and this isn’t ultimately a Putin problem so much as a larger tendency of this regime and its economic systems.
I just don’t know if there’s a version of Russia that can coexist with the status quo we’ve been trying to protect. It might be terminal, and god help us if I’m right.
I guess it is inevitable that Russia will ultimately have to be destroyed by external force. Whether it happens sooner or later. One day the full West will be at war with them. Here’s me hoping it will be a couple of lifetimes away. I have young children. 😓
In one week from today it will be 2 years into a “3 day special military operation”. At some point even the most delusional people have to face the music. We can only hope that it eats at his psychological health and he soon drops dead.
It just goes to show that his “special military operation” has basically failed if it lasted 727 days longer than usual
that’s just how special it is ✨️🫠✨️
Classic Russian Federation
The special op is… just a bit slow, bless its heart.
This is just western version of propaganda I assume. Most Russians still overwhelmingly support the clown

How can you not see that’s what he wants? He’s been working to destabilize the West for decades now. Everything you just said weakens Europe, even when they inevitably (mostly) side against him. The result is chaos in Europe, and as you said, the rise of nationalism and fascism among individual nations.
A bunch of nationalist countries fighting for their own interests rather than their collective interests, doesn’t make for a great European Union.

I hate when tankies think they sound intelligent.

Putin isn’t dumb, he’s evil and in mental decline.
Don’t pretend he’s acting this way because he is stupid, he knows he doesn’t have much time and wants to make a legacy of cruelty like his idol Stalin
Claiming he is incompetent just makes him more dangerous.

I agree with almost nothing you’ve written and it is the most self-indulgent twattle I have seen in weeks.

You do the math.
Do you even know what Europe is?
It’s some city or something. I unno
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Europe Try it. Even it is not the best resource, it can give you at least a gist about it. It is not a city, it will surprise you.
“Every time we hit the bottom harder and fall through it and now we are at war with the entire world, it seems. What else could be worse? Next will be nuclear, nobody doubts. What depresses me most is the helpless situation we have: the majority will still vote for Putin simply because they feel lost without him, despite tiny salaries, awful medical service, men dying on the front, despite the growing feeling of instability.”
Bloody Russians, at least they could not vote for fucking Putin.
Remember, this is nothing but a sign that the Russian economy is booming!
There have been so many signs of the Russian economy booming the last 2-3 months it’s hard to keep up…
But rest assured, I’m here to help you remember the wise words of the great and courageous leader Vladimir Putin who is guarding the insides his pala…eh…I mean part of Russia from those pesky Nazis!
Russian something goes boom but it’s not their economy… unless that’s also what an implosion sounds like.
When will we expect a massive export of Russian brides? Uh, asking for a friend…🧐
