I’m also not sure. I wonder if there is a rule in the ISS that forbids people to talk politics. All astronauts will have to return someday, some via Kazachstan. I think they will talk about this after they have returned. Who knows what the world looks like by then…
I have no idea about the rules on ISS. But i heard that they are basically all need each other up there so it is no option to argue about politics.
That is the point. He is out of options. Just one major one left. Some of the countries he asked turned him down, so now he is screwed. So he will do what ever it takes on his way out. That is what he was taught in the KGB. If your going out take as many with you as possible. That is truth. @Dave27 This is also the answer for you just in one post for both of you.
Also on ISS there is no ban of certain media. The internet there is uncensored 
This is the thing what happens when you are so powerful and feared that even your own people no longer dare to tell you the truth. Obviously FSB knew that invasion won’t be easy and will end in disaster but did not dare telling him fearing his reaction.
Russia can’t win this war. They were even pushed back from Kyiv by some kilometers again. With all the weapons arriving to Ukraine form Western supporters the Russian military is fucked.
So the dangerous thing is Putin has no exit strategy. Means he can’t back out at the moment without making him look weak in front of all his people. This is a no-go for him. And that makes it dangerous.
So even when that guy is a lunatic and war criminal we now need some so called “bridge of gold” for him. Making sure he can back down without looking like a loser in front of his people. How that is possible. I do not know. History shows us that some arrengements being made sometimes always had some secret components in them.
For example the arrengements ending the Cuba crisis looked like a total win for the USA. But there was a secret passage in it saying the USA will also remove their missiles they had in Turkey. USA removed them few years later officially saying they are too old and needed maintenance.
So somehow we need something like that between Ukraine and Russia now. Not making look Russia (Putin) too bad but still being in favor of Ukraine.
Totally agree. Hope it is temporary and someone puts Putin down when he is not looking or feel like he has won something. I know that you never see the whole deal… That is also fact. 
Well I believe the removal of Putin is something to do by the Russian people. They have the option now for living like in deepest Sowjet times with basically no more access to the west or all stand up against him and remove him. He can’t shoot or arrest millions of people. But as I said I see that a separate point and not necessarily connected to the war.
So why should more Ukrainian soldiers and civilians die only to remove Putin? When there is a way to bring peace and independence to Ukraine again with Putin in power so be it.
The West already made his point. Russia with Putin will never be a nation we will do any arrengements or serious business with. So as hard as it sounds when the war is over, Russian troops are home and the West is strengthening its f___es towards Russia why should we deal further with him? Let him sit behind his new iron curtain until he either dies or the Russian people remove him from power.

Part of the problem is he is talking about his people as scum and that he is going to start to cleanse Russia from them. The more he talks the more he sounds like Hitler… And the more he acts like him as well. We all know where this leads. He really has no options… People just can’t see it yet. China is his last effort to look good and call this whole thing a win. But I really don’t know if they will support him financially after this… His people will find it hard to remove him as 56% of the people support him. It has to come from his inner circle. But he knows this. This is how it has always worked in his history. KBG never went away no matter what other people think. he just renamed it and reorganized it. So he also knows they will be coming for him… He has went to far.
There is a high possibility Russia becomes a new North Korea. At least for some years. Who knows what happens when he actually dies?

Polish people are forming a blockade of the country’s national road 68, which leads to the Kukuryki-Kozłowicze border crossing, thereby making it impossible for Russian and Belarusian trucks with supplies to cross the border and the Police are not doing anything about it either.
Even though there are sanctions these trucks are still crossing the border each and every day and groups in Poland have had enough of it and said they will stay and block these trucks until they are stopped legally. The blockage lasts for ten kilometres with trucks at a standstill.
Saturday is the perfect day to watch my favorite sport: Women’s football. Look at what the groundsmen in Germany did. (Wolfsburg has a couple of Dutch national players btw)
Would be nice to see this on more pitches.

The head of Roscosmos press service made a statement. The whole world is laughing at him. But it is sad…

The head of @roscosmos press service said in his Telegram channel named “Closed space” regarding the suits of #SoyuzMS21 crew: “Sometimes yellow is jest yellow. These are Bauman Tech University colors. To see the Ukrainian flag everywhere and in everything is a madness.”
This is in Moscow.
Anyone have a rocket launcher I can barrow???
To everyone who has been kind to anyone during this time of crisis because of this senseless, illegal, devastating war.
They used this Z-symbol more and more like the nazi-garmany used the swastika-symol at WW-II. In addition, all the lies, the war of aggression against Ukraine and now also more and more war crimes aginst clivilists in Ukraine. It seems, Putin really wants to provoke the 3rd world war. It’s just bitter and sad. Why can’t we just live together peacefully.
Anyway, My subscription expires in 1-2 days and as long as no changes occur i will not renew VHTV. I just can’t stand how in the Russian apartments everything just continues as if nothing would happen. They party there while their military k__ls innocent people in another country. I think it’s shabby.

I agree; how long their troops are to stay in Ukraine, I will not send to Russia a penny; I can still donate Ukrainians anyway, not necessarily via vhtv;
