This latest nuke threat must be ignored as any of the previous ones. The reasoning is entirely idiotic. If you lay claim to a piece of land that doesn't belong to you and think that gives you the right to lob nukes when people take it back, then you're just using nukes to take land with extra steps. If he didn't use them before he likely won't now, if he does then I guess he was always willing to and we'll need to deal with that. This ridiculous justification changes nothing however. Crimea belongs to Ukraine.
"All tickets for direct flights to Istanbul and Yerevan were sold out in a few minutes after Putin's address."
What is up with this flight? It says three economy tickets to Hong Kong for three is $54,000. It's got a layover in Dubai overnight.
Moscow to St. Petersburg is only $33.
Flights to Nairobi remain inexpensive, even below the norm at around $300 to $400 per person. Other destinations like Johannesburg, South Africa are approaching $50,000 for three one-way tickets.

You sure about that? Seems to me they're less strict than the Finnish ones:

China and India are not happy about the war. It has been bad for the global economy. Venture capital funding in Asia dropped precipitously. The drop in 2022 is twice as large of the drop in the US. With China experiencing the largest drop. The flare up of border disputes between the various "stan" countries are worrisome to both China and India.

I'd say the image speaks for itself

they arrested a busker playing Grazhdanskaya Oborona songs, saw him belting out Всё идёт по плану. Decent voice.
1000 arrests so far.
This is just as stupid as the time you said another civil war would start when Trump was impeached the first time. Russia definitely ain't winnin' at the moment, and considering they can barely clothe their soldiers and their tanks either shoot and don't move or move and don't shoot, I'm wondering where you're thinking this Heart of the Cards esque asspull from Russia and Putin is going to come from to win this.
Here's the thing, even if they "win", they don't win. The world will cut them off and they'll be just as poor then as they are now.

1) get drafted, sent to Ukraine, immediately surrender and ask nicely if you can gtfo

3) profit
It's a numbers game. If enough people take to the streets and tell their government enough is too much they win. This happened already a good 30 years ago all over eastern Europe, no reason to believe it can't work again. Being the first is hard though.
