if you ban the likes of cigs, drink and drugs, it promotes criminal activity noting sizeable minorities will to ever want to use these, in any country.

also it might not be safe to post links from the moscow times, but wiki should be ok. on that note:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sergei_Magnitsky

thats all you really need to read to acknowledge the corruption of all things controlled by Putin. i posted that link before. not sure if it led to a suspension.

Plenty of articles about him here:

For sure it's a sad story. People forget quickly.

Themoscowtimes is safe IMHO , no hate (for sure less than on d2jsp pard which contains white supremacists, covid & holocausts deniers loool) and no sexual suggestive content.

Once again if you had issues with links it could have been tabloids that often also contain side articles with sexually suggestive content or hurting material (dead bodies etc).

Sure, so if he actually believes he is acting in their best interest. He is doing a terrible job.
I would doubt that he is, he basically acted in his own self interest for decades. The mans a tyrant. Doesn't care if tens of thousands of his own troops die. Its irrelevant.




That's your spin on reality. For me its far, far from the truth.
Take 2 of a 10 day special operation. That in a nutshell, is the depths of your denial.

Defence investments in Europe are increasing but stockpiles are "almost empty" and critical defence capabilities are lacking, the European Union's top diplomat said on Thursday.

"The war in Ukraine has been a brutal wake-up call for many of us," Josep Borrell told people gathered in Brussels for the release of the European Defence Agency (EDA)'s annual spending report.

"For years we have been under-investing and this has meant that our stockpiles have been quickly depleted due to the fact that we are providing them to Ukraine," he said.

Rise of nationalism in Ukraine after russian invasion & war crimes ?
I think the Russian support to the "war against the nazis" dropped quit drastically in last 6 months. Maybe from 50 to 25% or something like that. And what it will be in 6 months ? Only the regime leeches will still support it. Prolly like what ... 15% .
