  • Some family evacuations, some orphans, some just lost. Some of the latter were returned to Ukraine (double digits, as far as I can tell) the rest got assigned guardians after that free vacation in GULAG Artek.

    As for the numbers, they’re about as wild as you should expect these days. I’ve seen anything from 100k to 700k in European media. 50-60k, says the UN. Ukraine officially said (last spring is latest I was able to find) 16k.


  • Oh, it’s one of my favourite flavors of copium.

    Someone starts complaining about some rotting systems and crises or other, libs nod along, then the magical C-word comes up and they’re like “WAIT, NOT LIKE THAT! That’s not how capitalism is supposed to work, that’s bad bad evil bad corporatism. We can fix it with proper legislation an stuff and things!”.



  • О, дополнительный лулз.

    Тяга про-западных блядей к проекциям грехов хозяев на Россию и Китай - это не ново, в конце концов вы, карго-культисты, за хозяевами только повторять и можете, но не перестаёт быть смешным, что псевдолевые дегенераты, искренне считающие себя свободными мыслителями, с пеной у рта защищают центр империализма и главных спонсоров геноцидов, просто потому, что были шокированы реальностью в какой-то момент и не выросли из абстрактного гуманизма.



  • В смысле руками пленных нацистов? Тут жаль только, что их потом домой выпустили.

    Или руками советских преступников, которым платили и было гарантировано трудоустройство после окончания срока, а не полоскание на ветру, как в твоих любимых либеральных залупах, раб?)




  • First of all, on the “irradiated world” and less devastating nukes. Modern nukes are way more efficient. More fuel reacts -> bigger boom and less pollution. Also, destruction of industry and infrastructure don’t happen in a vacuum. Subsequent chaos is gonna claim many more lives.

    And the part about Russian and Chinese defense systems is hella wishful thinking. Maybe China can do something like that, but if anything, war in Ukraine showed that Russian electronic warfare capabilities have been overestimated as hell. All the “sanctions” on chips won’t help either.



  • Niger’s current government demanded that the US troops GTFO and these Russian troops are a “not Wagner” replacement for Wagner contingent that was in the country already. Officially there to strengthen relations and train Nigerian army.

    As for barging into an American base while their troops are still there, that has to be a démarche of sorts, much like that message at the trophy display in Moscow.

    I skimmed through some American statements about the whole thing and this might be Kremlin preventing Americans from stalling, because they said they’re pulling out, but want to keep presence for as long as possible, maybe waiting for an opportunity, considering situation in Niger isn’t exactly stable yet. Nothing like a threat of a major diplomatic incident to make people hurry, I guess.

    P.S. The message I mentioned and translation for non-Russian speaking comrades: “Attention! Employees of the United States, the UK, Germany, France and Poland embassies are granted access to inspect trophy NATO equipment OUT OF TURN.”







  • The US also orchestrated bloody terrorist attacks in China through their Uyghur jihadi proxies and China did not directly accuse the US. They are playing the long game.

    They have cause to. China can actually weaponize their economic connection with the US. Doesn’t work that way for Russia at all. The main loser of the “sanctions” is the EU.

    I don’t think so. Perhaps that was the case at first but by now they seem to have resigned themselves to a more or less permanent break with the West. They have reoriented their economy toward the east and i see no indication of any intention to turn back to how things used to be. In fact a lot of Russian officials have said as much. It’s just no longer necessary. The West isn’t the only game in town anymore. In a multipolar world you have options.

    Maybe if our government wasn’t kicking so hard while reality is dragging it towards industrialization. They still want to sit on a pipe and get fat. And the world isn’t so multipolar with that perspective. China And India will buy, but you better believe they will also capitalize on Russia having a very short list of available markets.
