That's Russian war propaganda. Putin and Russia have everything to lose.

 

What I write and how I mean it and how you read/understand/interpret my stuff are 2 different pairs of shoes. In no way I have ever done any Russian war propaganda here. I know I have many questions, we all post facts, our impressions and feelings, speculations. That’s what I have done too. And the first part of my last comment was soley about Putin - the impression he makes on me, NOT about Russia. But whatever is wrong with him, and I guess you all agree that at least mentally nothing is ok with that guy, NOTHING justifies a war!

 

(I don’t know if that guy has physical probs too, he looks very bloated like he would take meds (or his is on drugs) and I noticed there have been articles and speculations about his health for quite some time. This is what I meant when I said it kinda feels like he has nothing to lose, like his days are numbered, and he knows it. Again this is only my impression and that doesn’t justify what he has done.
Just to quote a Ukrainian woman: ‘bad health and a short life for Putin!‘ I agree!!)

 

Stay Safe Everyone ❤️

There's a story going around about how a Russian warship wanted to refuel at a port in Georgia and the Georgian port master said no and gave the captain a pair of oars

I hope it's true 

Anyway the talks in Belarus have commenced so it will be interesting to see what Putin is willing to concede, if anything

 I meant that's what the Russian government would like us to believe, not that you're spreading false info.

 

I agree, he has nothing to lose if he's very ill. That's why I wish hin good health lol or a death so sudden he can't finalize his plans.

Switzerland will forego "Swiss neutrality" and adopt the same sanctions as EU against Russia

On Monday, Switzerland announced that it will forego its commitment to “Swiss neutrality” in favor of adopting sanctions against Russia, Swiss Federal President Ignazio Cassis said, adding that Switzerland’s sanctions will be in line with those already adopted by the European Union. 

“The Swiss Federal Council has decided today to fully adopt EU sanctions,” Cassis said during a news briefing. “It is an unparalleled action of Switzerland, who has always stayed neutral before.”

“Russia's attack is an attack on freedom, an attack on democracy, an attack on the civil population, and an attack on the institutions of a free country. This cannot be accepted regarding international law, this cannot be accepted politically, and this cannot be accepted morally,” Cassis added.

Y'ALL THE SANCTIONS ARE WORKING

Russian oligarchs criticise Putin in open letter and demand and end of the invasion

"Billionaire Oleg Deripaska has called for an 'end to state capitalism' in Russia"... a bit ironic but whatever. Main thing is, the rich are mad

I think its important to note that you shouldn't feel guilty if it's all to much and walk away from the news for a day or two. Health professionals have advised that excessive doomscrolling can negatively impact existing mental health issues.

 

Here's a site that can help you set boundaries etc - https://www.endocrineweb.com/news/what-is-doomscrolling-and-how-to-stop

 

Look after yourselves and your well being xx

 

I'm not at home but I'm thinking of doing a good news thread at the weekend. We need to remember the wonderful things out there in the world as well as acknowledged the terrible things. Pet Photos, Fun memories and good news stories we can share etc to uplift each other.

I saw a news story on TV in which the neo-Nazi militias were called patriots defending their lands.

 

I hate this. Putin is making the Nazi problem WORSE with this war.

I have seen the Ukranian neo-Nazis. There are pictures and videos of them. Putin isn't lying when he talks about the Nazi situation there, though all he's doing is pushing more people into their arms.

the poc international students/workers that are stuck in ukraine are facing so much racism right now, some are even denied transportation services to flee, prioritizing the white refugees. its unreal. you'd think that times like these would bring out the best in humanity, people would overcome their prejudices, but no. same old shit.

I expect that you would also have been cheering on Slobodan Milošević because of the Ustaše. (I know where that comes from - I have relatives who smile every time they hear about a German dying).
