So... dodged?
And back in the real world.
It's an interesting study in authoritarian control, when after 20 years of Putins dictatorship. There is a such an environment of fear, that only a tiny percentage of Russians protest or questions the systems corruption.
Chinese citizens protesting, Iranian citizens protesting, Russian citizens -

the protests in china re: covid are quite remarkable all things considered.
i cant comment on the iranian protests as i have not fully read up on it ( i am not acknowledging western media spin on it, would prefer to read more before commenting ).
i think if russia took a similar stance to covid as china did, that people would protest. i also think as more get conscripted that there will be more protests over time, in russia. of course i expect said protests to be brutally suppressed.

as an addicted advocate of capitalism and compound interest you wont understand it anyways.
under the line, its diablo and his brothers, if you know who i mean.
This sub forum is rife with users that do not clearly state their position. when arguing a point of view it is, to my mind, imperative to be very clear on your position, argument and with your words. I am trying to be helpful here: if you want to blame someone, or some entity/body, be clear about it. some will agree some won't but at least your position will be clear.
