    According to Wikipedia, this is 50% of the city's pre-war population, and 1000% of the city's wartime population.

    Was it fucking worth it?

    You have to consider the fact that human lives are worth nothing in Russia.

    Ask any of the local russian shills here. Avdiivka was totally the main HQ of the Ukronazi-NATO-evil West Alliance, housing Star Destroyers, 3 Death Stars, Illuminati leadership along with 347 Zelenskys. Not to forget million secret NATO soldiers posing as mercenaries for ukrainian army.

    You forgot the mutants they claimed are being made in Ukraine by NATO. In those secret bio labs.

    And black magic grannies casting curses. Or psyops, who knows, the memes keep changing. Ukraine doesn't have great chances without western aid, but then it's not about measuring which country can win in a 1v1, it's about not letting genocidal nazi states roaming free. Takes a special kind of person when you support russians.

    Russia yet again flaunting international borders, carrying out assassinations on foreign soil, this time Spain.

    Ukraine updates: Defected Russian pilot found dead in Spain
    He was shot repeatly then driven over by a car.

    I was recently walking the streets of Rome when I noticed some graffiti that made me smile, wrote on a telephone pole, was "All Russians are guilty."

    Given the previous comments on where those troops are drafted from and why, then it's probably considered a bonus to those in charge.

    I still think that's not entirely true, I mean the Afghanistan war was stopped, in part, due to casualties and the backlash over it. I do think that to **putin** lives are worthless but I'm pretty sure that those losing their lives would rather not lose them. (but if that's their concern they should get their mates and re-enact 1917)


    Another one bites the dust, another one bites the dust, another Su-34 gone...

    7 in a week, going well.

    Not really surprising though. Russia, like many countries, has a habit of killing those branded as traitors.

    This should be easy to show happening in modern times.

    Links would be great.

    Oh yes, who hasn't heard of the German murder squadrons hunting down defectors on Mallorca.

    It would appear that the reports of Gerasimov's demise are a bit exaggerated.

    in an admittedly brilliant but evil move to silence opposition and dissent, the people in Russia who attended Navalny's funeral or staged tributes are being forcibly drafted into the Ukraine war.

    Several Russians who were detained by police for laying flowers at memorials to Alexei Navalny have already been given military summonses and told they’d be sent off to join the war, according to local reports.

    In St. Petersburg, police officers arrived and handed the summonses to at least six men shortly before they were released from custody, Rotonda News reports.

    “People in civilian clothes came, didn’t introduce themselves, and gave out the military summonses,” the wife of one of the men was quoted telling RusNews.

    While officially, the papers only oblige the men to visit a military registration office within the next few days to “clarify” their information and register, another man said the detainees were taunted with the threat of being sent off to war.

    “Two hours before we were released, we were taken into a room where some men were sitting and handing out summonses. They said if we didn’t sign, they would break our fingers. They kept repeating: ‘Well, will you go fight for us? We’re so good,’” he was quoted telling RusNews.

    So this could go here or into the (Hunter) Biden discussion I guess, but who wants to bet Russia arrested the $50 traitorous ballerina to trade her for the asset that fed misinfo about Hunter Biden?

    Don't they have bigger fish? I mean I sincerely doubt they'll get that asset for an unknown ballerina, who became an US citizen in 2021...

    That'd make more sense as the reason behind the war (while still completely insane), than the excuses they've thrown around.

    Few things express the limp dicks of Europe and US is how recent reports show that Iran has sent 400 ballistic missiles with ranges varying from 350km to 700km from just January 2024 to this date. Meanwhile cowards in Berlin are afraid to send Taurus and US is shaking in boots about their ATACMS.

    NATO is afraid of escalation, they have always been afraid of it. Meanwhile Russia gives no shits because they know that so long as they don't directly invade NATO we don't do anything.

    As someone somewhere else recently reminded us all of. Russia has committed chemical weapon attacks on NATO soil, they give 0 fucks.
    Maybe we shouldn't either.
    It ignores such insignificant forces as time, entropy, and death
