3,000 US Military Vets Willing To Fight With Ukraine Against Russia
As I asked in my original post, what should we be doing if not sanctions? Nothing?Sanctions will not work and will push the Russians into closer economic ties with the Chinese. Sanctions only hurt ordinary people and usually have the opposite outcome and rally a country behind its leader and against the people imposing the sanctions on them. They never hurt the wealthy and powerful leaders they claim to target. Notice how careful the west are being in selecting sanctions that will do no or little damage to themselves. So yes I do not support action in the form of sanctions that are aimed at destroying the lives or ordinary people, like me, living in Russia.
In terms of this conflict the western media are every bit as culpable as the Russian state run media. My statement is not an assertion it is based on solid evidence. Have you not been watching and reading western media coverage? Both the west and Russia are feeding their respective publics with outright propaganda. Perhaps you would like to share an example of our wonderful news media and its impartiality in relation to this conflict.

The logic of the targets of sanctions is always the same. Please stop doing the sanctions that aren't working. Of course, if they didn't work you wouldn't hear anything out of them.As I asked in my original post, what should we be doing if not sanctions? Nothing?

It’s also incredibly distinct and rare.Isn't the F22 a fighter and not a bomber?
Praying the Caf starts sanctions. Meanwhile, I will bite my tongue knowing the apologist’s life gets worse by the day.What exactly are you attempting to do, because you’re not doing it correctly.
Looking at the language on the map ("liberated cites", "special military operation" etc.) I would imagine that it was taken from some Russian site, so yeah, it's hardly reliable.Rod Dreher is such a toolbag. I'm sure he's just angling for another vacation to Russia like he got to Hungary. I've seen the map called out as BS by other people who know more.
I'm all for objectivity. This is, however, not true. Not even close.Sanctions will not work and will push the Russians into closer economic ties with the Chinese.

ExactlyIt really is not close at all.
Which is precisely why Russia has started to massively restrict the freedom of speech in many ways and throws protestors into jail. Everybody knows their story only works if everyone else is not able to tell the other side. Obviously we're biased politically, but nowhere have I found any sign of significant restriction of freedom of speech and the likes here. We also broadcast what Russian officials have to say about this special military operation to denazify the Ukraine from the jewish president.
Also, to generalize western media into one entity is unreasonable, considering the completely different character of the different western media channels. You can't even compare FOX to CNN, nevermind FOX to ARD/ZDF from Germany.
They’d realise as soon as they down an American pilot of course. Then America would be fighting Russia and China. Real brainy stuff from trumpIt’s also incredibly distinct and rare.
Remove the parachute from the pilots. Genius!They’d realise as soon as they down an American pilot of course. Then America would be fighting Russia and China. Real brainy stuff from trump
4d chess again. You use Chinese American pilots!!! We turn Russia and China on each other and we reduce white replacement in the USA! LOCK HER UP! BUILD THE WALL!They’d realise as soon as they down an American pilot of course. Then America would be fighting Russia and China. Real brainy stuff from trump

It's probably worth mentioning that you have to change "e" in "fecking" to "u" to open the link as caf autocorrects it.

high ranked german military (responsible für Russia+Moscow especially) I know very well since childhood openly just said to me he's personally got the impression that Putin's gone pathologically crazy and everything seemed possible at this moment
Nothing new, as this was speculated before, but kind of frightening to hear it from someone whom's judgement you'd trust without any hesitation.
If so, I reckon he’s gonna be topped (or toppled) by the end of the month. At which point they’re going to be so dependent on China that whoever is in charge in Moscow will be China’s puppet.
My distinct impression is that right now both China and USA are sitting back waiting for him to blow a fuse and then he’s gone.
He is too dangerous to be kept alive. Like Palpatine.Regime change would be the best thing that can happen at the moment, imo. It would open up the possibility for the west to lift the sanctions and start integrating Russia again, which is why I'm not 100% sure that whoever would be in charge in Moscow would be China's puppet. Ideally, he doesn't get killed but gets a fair trial and then rots in a cell forever. Unfortunately, I don't expect this to happen anytime soon.

Putin dying on his sleep as soon as possible, followed by Russian leaders setting the blame exclusively on him and Russia being reintegrated in the West would be the best possible scenario.
I think it is hard to see it happening. He might be an irrational actor now and have gone mad, but he is still paranoid as feck, so a coup probably does not have a good chance of happening.
