Leader of the Chechens in Ukraine has been killed within their first few hours of combat

Putin has lost Orban and Erdogan. When the other dictators leave the lunch table, it's bad. China not having all the feels anymore either.

These Ukrainians are going to fight, and if Putin gets control, he will have control over a country of people that hate him.

Zelensky had to put out that video because there were reports that officials were fleeing the country. Looks like everyone is accounted for.

This is to ensure Abramovich doesn't have Chelsea seized as an asset. He will still control the holding company, but will not be in direct control of the club. The holding company that Chelsea FC owes £1.5bn to.

Fuck it. Take it anyways.

Not sure what "selected Russian banks" would entail.

Crazy,…

I saw on another tweet it means any bank that has been previously sanctioned. No clue what that looks like and how many are truly affected. Could end up being theatre if that’s not an extensive list but hopefully not.

Dayyyum. Lol.


And then

I think the big one is Russias central bank. That is supposed to be the one that they could prop themselves up with to undercut other sanctions. .

 

[GoIrish41]

Previous sanctions from earlier in the week targeted the 10 largest financial institutions in Russia, comprising 80% of their national banking system. I’d assume this affects those same banks.

 

[NorthDakota]

Dayyyum. Lol.


And then

Id take all this with a grain of salt. Wouldn't be surprised if its true. Wouldnt be surprised if it's fake.

C’mon, I know you have a soft spot for Vlad and the gang but it’s pretty telling that Roman is giving up control right now. Seems like the move of a guy with a guilty conscience (or one of Putin’s right hand men).

Hitting these oligarchs in the pocketbook is one good way of putting internal pressure on Putin.

I can say my wife and the Ukranians are pretty sold it is real. They have already started writing poems and songs about them. When I asked her, she said "you dont write songs about men who run". Im gonna go with 100% Russian propaganda but to be honest, when has there been anything but lies to prop up Russia's agenda?

What the fuck are you talking about? I dont have a soft spot for Vlad lol. I get that Russia sees Ukraine as part of their dominion/country/whatever. That doesn't make them right. I have been pretty hawkish on putting boots in the ground prior to the invasion because I was thinking that was the best way to stop an invasion from happening.

Literally go fuck yourself dude.

Bruh…. Literally? Can we as a board please be more mindful of our use of the word literally?

"Ukrainians believe it so its real" is the dumbest thing I've ever heard. I hope it's right. But we had a veteran American congressman retweeting a literal meme of a guys face photoshopped on a pilot supposed to be the "ghost of kyiv" or whatever the fuck people spell it as now.

Russians report that island surrendered. Ukraine says they basically fell on their swords. Ukraine says they have an ace. Some of the footage people showed on the internet was from a video game.

I have no idea what's going on over there but so many people are buying this rosy picture that Ukraine is standing tall and defying the Bear when they have cities under siege.

I hope things work out for them. But the whole "Ukraine are reliable arbiters of truth" idea is stupid.

You've made comments that the invasion was smart/savvy etc. Some may infer that to be sympathetic to ol'Vladdy lmao

 

[Te'o4Heisman]

One thing is for sure..

You've made comments that the invasion was smart/savvy etc. Some may infer that to be sympathetic to ol'Vladdy lmao

i know most or your views lean as strong left ss possible, but it actually is still a real thing in the world to be able to have thoughts/opinions, and make statements of thought/observation that are held separate from one’s actual emotions and feelings. One does not need to be necessarily tied to the other.
Im not sure why it wouldnt be reasonable for him to observe something as smart or well timed, while also not supporting it or believing it is just or right.

What better time to go than under a geriatric scared old man leading the only superpower?

You can believe it is a smart move to do something without liking that someone does it. If Russia wants to assert their dominance over Ukraine, this was probably the best time to do so.

That doesn't mean it's a good thing or the right thing to do as far as the western world is concerned. Are you one of them people who thinks everyone on an opposing team is stupid? Thats illogical. Pretty sure American troops and generals have acknowledged foreign adversaries smarts and savviness in the past. Does that mean they have a soft spot?

He’s suggesting that his time may be better spent beating’ his meat or jerkin’ his gherkin.
