    It makes me sad. I feel for the Russian people who I would imagine at this point are fed up with Putinism. To hear some Americans pretend that any US leader, previous or current, are authoritarians is political nonsense, because their claims sure are not rooted in reality.
    My heart goes out to the oppressed, Russian people.

    Found something for you:

    "All planes to visa-free countries were completely sold out, according to the Russian news portal RBC."

    I think he is feeling cornered since his big gamble failed spectacularly. This is causing him to take more desperate, misguided actions in hopes of correcting the situation and, most likely, forcing some kind of negotiated settlement that allows him to keep some Ukrainian territory and not look like a total dunce and failure.

    The Russians have been duped........fed a bunch o flies as "justification" for an elective invasion of Ukraine. Many still support Putin......but many are getting a rude awakening........and now things are coming to a critical mass........with threats of Nukes, Putin has painted himself into a corner.........and with the exception of a limited few nations.......the world is against him........as it should be
    Now that he has painted himself into a corner....... he will be even more unpredictable and dangerous

    Many Russians are truing against him now.......more protests and more arrests.........

    They all will have to realize that Putin has become a liability.........and "deal with him"......

    This is the first time this war is significantly impacting them personally, and it's doing so by threatening their lives and it has come out of the blue, rather like how the war began in the first place. So yeah, those Russian cops rounding up protesters are going to be very busy for a while.

    The update video I posted just above shows one guy hiding in the refrigerator and being found by the cop serving his papers xD

    If I were to predict the outcome, I think Putin fortifies the lands he's about to annex and stops there. Which is short of what he wanted but his rhetoric is going to be that if you attack that land you are attacking Russia.

    It will be in zelenskys court then to see how far he wants to take this.

    If zelenskys relents those lands I think it would be a win for Russia...if he doesn't (meaning he attacks those areas) and Russia is looking like it's still getting it's ass handed to it, I think Russia may drop some tactical nukes on Kyiv.

    I don't think Brandon would respond with nukes, just bad names.

    The only people that can stop this today is the Russian government by removing Putin from power.

    With the vast amount of Russians upset with this change of events I can't see his popularity staying what it was. If it does then those polls are bullshit. Which is friend now for "Russian"

    I'm sure Brandon has a plan for such an eventuality, though I doubt that it's nuking ruZZia, and I'm OK with him not starting a nuclear war between us and ruZZia. I doubt that anyone from either party would opt to do that.

    Russia: Panic, protests follow Putin's call for 'partial mobilization' | DW News


    Russia is going to tear itself apart internally. Putler's claims that NATO is in Ukraine will not get the Russians who haven't already fled the country to go fight and die for him and his "Russkiy Mir."

    That Gulag is certainly going to fill up rather fast, Vladdy.

    Meanwhile the Russia paid shills on these boards are petrified they will get conscriptions in the mail.

    Russia has become the new North Korea.

    What he tries to annex now.....he'll try for more 5-10 yrs from now....Putlerstan wants Kyiv....that's what.

    The only way he doesn't annex is if Ukraine joins NATO ....ASAP.

    He can't. It's ingrained into his psyche to lap up any and all fake news.
