Putin is Russia

[Lucavi]

I'm sure Putin will stop at Ukraine and be satisfied.

Worked out when ol Adolf took Poland and decided to call it a day

We know what his endgame is. Take all former USSR territories. He's not going to try to fight all of NATO and everyone knows it. If the sanctions don't squeeze the Russian citizens enough for one of them to take him out then he'll ultimately get what he wants, but nothing more.

He won’t get this either. I’d like to believe the rest of the world won’t continue to let him toss lemmings at other countries, over and over again, until he gets what he wants. At this point he will eventually be labeled an international war criminal and have to go into hiding. Also I bet other territories suck as Finland join NATO just to tell Putin to go fuck himself. He can threaten all he wants but he isn’t stupid enough to go after NATO.

Again, Putin is not going to get to a point where people are gonna let him run rampant over Europe. He's fucked up now, if he keeps pushing against Ukraine and destroys it I don't think he'll stop there nor do I think the rest of the world is just going to sit by and do nothing.

Apparently this is a well known artist from Russia who lived through the Siege of Leningrad being arrested for protesting the war. Protests are not drying up yet and Navalny continues calling for more.

Here is something that's bothering me. You know that long Russian convoy that is just slowly moving towards Kiev because it supposedly has supply chain issues. Why aren't the Ukrainians bombing the shit out of that? They have those drones from Turkey that somebody posted. I dought they can get many fighters in the air since Russia has destroyed all of the major airfields but do something!

There was a Tweet somewhere earlier saying they had started picking that convoy off but I can't find it and who knows if it's true. Also rumored that the reason for it was because the vehicles at the front started running out of oil/supplies... would be superbly ironic if Putin basically trucker convoyed himself. But that was just random people saying so so no idea if it's true.

because this is a map of what the fighting looks like

how the fuck do you get to them with the minimal resources they have. russia has 10x the air supremacy

[Twilight Sky]

Yeah and they can't risk leaving the greater area of Kyiv.

He won’t get this either. I’d like to believe the rest of the world won’t continue to let him toss lemmings at other countries, over and over again, until he gets what he wants.

He has already threatened action on Finland and Sweden. I live in Finland though and the PM has said they aren't pushing for it yet..this is classic "take forever and just talk about nothing" Finnish politics however >.< Probably too busy talking about Sote(long story) like it's much more important. For once I agree with that super duper far right Jussi that they should join them now. It's like they need to be reminded that we share a long ass fucking border with Russia.

"#IStandWithPutin" is trending on twitter. The modern age is truly remarkable. Mostly its just the ol' bot farm talking about how "The West" is racist and hypocritical so that means Putin is cool to kill everyone in Ukraine, or other great gems. Feel free to dive into that shit for some good nightmare-fueling laughs.

It's capitalist. Authoritarianism is a government structure, capitalism is an economic one. The two are not mutually exclusive. The fact that there is no subdivisions under capitalist does not make capitalist the wrong choice.

corporatist is prolly the single best descriptor given the emphasis on the role of the state within a broader capitalistish framework

kleptocratic corporatist oligarchy prolly the best three descriptors given that central state role is empowered primarily to plunder national wealth for the benefit of Putin and his allies

ya lmao with what is the primary response. i think people forget how poor Ukraine is in general, their per capita GDP falls between Sri Lanka's and Libya's. they have a handful of donated weapons systems and bought a few more but Russian material supremacy is overwhelming. there are ways to blunt that on the ground (as American tech found out in the desert) but in the air u either have the hardware or you don't. they'll land a handful of celebrated strikes with what they do have but Ukrainian air power will not be a significant factor.
