"If there is no water in the tap, means Jews drank it all."
A quote from a satirical song by a well known Soviet actor, singer and songwriter Vysockij from many decades ago. The song basically was about various Soviet life issues and mocking of excuses for them.
Known issue from times immemorial. There is always some sort of conspiracy at work by the enemies or somehow it's not govt fault.

This is by the way I keep telling here that what you see now is not Putin or something - it's the system that's there for hundreds of years that changes face and slogans from time to time.
This is why I am almost sure that eventually the system will drop Putin and pretend things are totally going to be different now - only to reveal another 2 decades down the road that nothing really changed... again.
This video is fascinating about what's happening now in the Ukraine war.

St Petersburg is basically like any western capital (at least, it was when I was there in the 2000's). Moscow is more like your stalin run of the mill capital with red cross on some building and such. It does not look like any western city, but it is still okayish to live in there by any low western standards. Outside those, the more you go far, the more you go back in time. Some town are still in the industrial age while in the countryside, you go back as far as medieval age since they have no running water nor electricity.
Lievrov is at it again in his attempts to justify the war, basically saying France would invade Belgium if it banned French. Firstly, no it wouldn't, and secondly, Russian is not banned in Ukraine to start with.
Yeah...I'm not very impressed with him considering he said that the Finnish army mostly consists of low morale conscripts and that the reserves are anything from fresh ex-conscripts to men in their sixties (by which he means: of questionable quality). Additionally his assessment of the Finnish artillery is similarly laughable. He's not done his homework when it comes to the Finnish army.
While the Finland does know conscription those who serve are anything but low morale.

On the other hand, if Flanders declared independence, a number of polls have shown substantial support among Walloons and French for reunification.
See Rattachism.
But anyway it would most likely be a hot topic of contention when it comes to the EU's stance on minority languages rights (a 40% minority at that).

A French journalist has been killed when the evacuation vehicle he was on was attacked by the Russians.

Makes sense, after all currently every country is at war with every other country that's using a different language.
While it sounds like ramblings of a madman, many russians would only nod with understanding. For generations they have been told that the #1 thing that matters is the size, power and areas of influence of The Motherland, and the weaker should just get absorbed by it unless they wanna get hurt. How could they imagine same rules do not apply everywhere else in the world.
Army uprising is happening:
Russan who shots this general will be a hero to Ukraine people.
Don't sweat the details!!!
No missiles that can reach into russia
Given that russia was very clear about this I'm not surprised.
The rest of the world would be perfectly content to let Russia continue to rot itself as it sees fit no matter who runs it, just so long as it stops going around invading and/or generally messing with other countries.
Various pro-Russia shills around here seem to act like everyone always has Russia constantly on their mind and Russia is this grand, looming presence they all fear and revere... when the simple reality is that nobody would give a single flying fuck about what Russia was up to, or what it was doing to its people, or how it was failing them, if they'd stop monkeying around in the business of other nations. They go on about how "Russia has to bully/invade/threaten others, or else NATO would invade them!" when NATO really only exists to temper Russia's constant ambitions of bullying, invading, and threatening others.

"Law and Order", lots of places have had that, Russia, North Korea, Saddam's Iraq.
Laws can be made to enforce order of cruelty and brutality.
Equality and Justice, that is how you have peace and a society that benefits all.
