Discussion about Russian invasion of Ukraine

Yes given that this week the last independent news sources in Russia were f___ed to close, they will now have to arrest the entirety of their leadership ( we are not going to invade Ukraine for example ) and their State media outlets :grinning:

Ok guys, Friday night, time to _____. May be quiet on here, but always with Ukraine in my heart.

Russian millionaire offers bounty for Putin

It’s a race against time. Soon ordinary russians will be unable to buy food. That is when society breaks down. Many of the current captured russian conscripts have not eaten for three days or more.

And Putin control media will blame the west, and Russian people will believe him

1M ?? too little. 100M at least

The one person who succeeds, and survives, will never have to pay anythng again. So it doesn’t matter how high the bounty is.

At the moment I write this, I am at the Dorohusk Mitnitsa border crossing after taking down a tonne of supplies and this is my third trip this week. Now I am in the process of picking up 25 Ukrainians for the trip back to Warsaw and it is desperate situation with many c___dren and wives devastated at leaving their husbands, which to me is a pointless regulation by the Ukrainian government as they are only accepting people to fight if they have previous weapons training, leaving 500,000 Ukrainian women in Poland to somehow find a job and feed themselves and their c___dren. Yes, there will be support from the EU and Poland, but it was a desperate decision by the Ukrainian government which wasn’t really thought through all that well as it is only going to cause further problems and suffering in the future with the husbands cut off from their families. Rant over, but I tired, and seeing all this displaced people is heartbreaking, especially the c___dren. :cry: :pensive:

Unfortunately there is some element of truth in that. My wife is of Indian descent and she is in India now. One of her friend’s brother has returned from Ukraine on Thursday. He was studying medicine there. He had marks on his face and when she asked he told that Ukrainian border guards were hitting black and brown people and were not letting them cross initially. He was also stuck. They have heard reports about some discrimination in Poland but he told they are treated very well in Poland. However he didn’t put the border discrimination down to racism. Most of the students are of the view is that it’s because India abstained from voting in UN and has not condemned Russia. Same is with a lot of African countries. In a high emotional state when the Ukrainians guards have seen their country men die in hundreds, its just retribution and though he didn’t enjoy it, he can understand it. Having said that he also mentioned that they finally managed to cross the border after some local Ukrainians convinced the guards. So I guess it’s basically a normal society where there are good ones and not so good ones. And under duress normal people also become not so good ones.

No news on Elon I think?

Has a_____l consumption in the apartments decreased quite noticeably in the last few days ? I hope that’s a result of the scarcity of cash and the payment ban by visa and mastercard. If it hits the common Russians hard financially, I hope there will be at least some pressure domestically on that egomaniac.

Sorry, wrote as a reply to your post. My bad !!

I didn’t notice that. Russians are able to make their own Wodka. So that is nothing where sanctions can hit them…

Exactly, banning the sale of Vodka here won’t hurt them. But banning them from Pornhub is a completely different matter. They will be pissed off for sure. At least Candy Red might get more work now.

I hear they blocked Facebook and Youtube. Now the participants can do nothing but play card games and have sex. Oh wait…

(and paint and make jigsaw puzzles)

Twitter too…

Just got back from the border and it’s strange tonight and I think people are becoming very numb to the situation as there are no tears, just tired faces.

There are still a surprising amount of young men getting through and I think it may have something to do with that I heard that if you have more than three c___dren you can cross the border. However, I did see groups of men, and I suppose they could be non Ukrainians, but I really don’t know.

At least I got a kiss on the cheek by a Babushka. :smile:
