I get the sense that he might not actually care about humanitarian issues in DNR and LNR.

I'm surprised he hasn't brought up The Third Rome, or declared "ONWARD TO TSARGRAD" or something.

I mean, based on this speech, I could kinda see why Trump thinks Putin is his friend.

BIG FLUFFY DOG posted:I have never regretted not knowing Russian more Most younger Russians, i.e. who you see on the internet, either do not like Putin or are fine clowning on him. His support base is oligarchs, the olds, and increasingly the more religious segments of the population. Putin has gone all-in on church promotion in a big reversal from the old Soviet Union anti-religion policy. Gov't officials kissing crosses on their knees on TV is a common occurrence nowadays.

I'm wondering how the citizens of Russia will react to this. Alarm or just more eye-rolling? I understand them being rather jaded and cynical after having to put up with this for so long. As a dumb American, I don't really have a feel for the internal dynamics in Russia.

eke out posted:ukraine is torturing women, children, and elderly people? This has been a claim they've made since 2014, including their recent "We found a mass grave" That nobody has seen yet. Which is ironic because after 2014, one of the first things Russia did was re-open a prison in Donbass to disappear people to or torture.

I vaguely recall something in the media from a few months ago, saying that Putin has some kind of progressive disease and that he is looking for a successor. Is this partly why he is apparently so off the rails? Anyone know what I'm talking about or did I just make that up?

By Putin's own backwards rear end logic Kiev is far older than the Duchy of Novgorod historically Does that mean all of Russia is actually historically claimed by Ukraine?  Dude has completely lost his mind
