Just had a bowl of cereal, and at no point did anyone try to conscript me. West is best comrade.

once again: I don't see in anyway how this can be related with the military agression of Ukraine. This was more than 20 years ago.

Or maybe we should start to talk about GULAG and why not LAOGAI, non stop ?

It’s more about drawing historical parallel with an attempt at a regime change by making millions of common citizens suffer, stealing their pension savings and instigating proxy wars that ultimately achieve only devastation and catastrophic loss of life and human potential, but never remove the authoritarian in power. Look at North Korea.

Can you imagine a minimum wage cleaner coming into your commodity desk and screaming at you, saying you don't know what the hell you are doing and he is the best trader ever?
You are experiencing that now.

Agent Moose Elkins, you've been compromised, mission failed

Don't worry; savings are not very important when you have millions of your own in deaths camps.



You rarely see them usually, they are often "invisible" and are leaving when first employees are coming in.

How dare could they even talk to you, right ? Horrible person.

You could always volunteer to go help Ukraine, guess you are too busy...playing diablo? Lol




No rubles for me

What death camps are you talking about?

Being respectful to operational personnel makes or breaks a career in my profession. You can’t survive without your ops now matter how much of a hotshot you are.

Wow:

(Reuters) - Russia and Ukraine gave conflicting accounts of the situation in Bakhmut on Sunday, with Kyiv saying it still controlled a small part of the besieged eastern city while Moscow congratulated the Wagner private army and Russian troops for "liberating" it.

FIGHTING

* Ukrainian forces have partly encircled Bakhmut along the flanks and still control a part of the city, Deputy Defence Minister Hanna Maliar said.

* Senior Ukrainian General Oleksandr Syrskyi said Kyiv's forces controlled a small part of the devastated city, were advancing in the suburbs and weregetting closer to a "tactical encirclement" of the city.

* Russia claimed on Saturday to have fully captured Bakhmut, which would mark an end to the longest and bloodiest battle of the 15-month war and Russian President Vladimir Putin congratulated troops and Wagner.

* Biden said the Russians had suffered over 100,000 casualties in Bakhmut.

* A Russian-installed official in Ukraine's southern Zaporizhzhia region said Kyiv had struck the Russian-held port city of Berdyansk with British-supplied Storm Shadow cruise missiles.

* Reuters could not verify the battlefield reports.

DIPLOMACY AND ECONOMY

*Zelenskiy drew a parallel between the devastation of Bakhmut and the U.S. World War Two atomic bomb attack on Hiroshima, evoking the symbolism of mass destruction as he wrapped up a surprise appearance at the Group of Seven (G7) summit in Japan.

* Leaders of the world's richest democracies at the summit said they would not back down from supporting Ukraine.

* Zelenskiy said he was confident that Kyiv would receive supplies of F-16 fighter jets from the West and Biden said he had received a "flat assurance" from Zelenskiy that Ukraine would not use them to go into Russian territory.

* Zelenskiy played down the fact he did not meet Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva on the sidelines of the G7 summit and said it was likely because of scheduling.





You are bringing Iraq war 2 on the table, i don't see why i should not bring authoritarian regimes victims (gulag, laogai)
Absolutely NO reason to not doing this. I would bring holomodor too, why not.

Iraq 2 is NOT a good parallel, there's no parallel, military agression of Ukraine is a completely different story, forces, location... Actually we could agree: it's putin's terrible mistake.

They jailed the FSB guy for falsely claim Ukrainians would welcome the military with open arms LOL . JESUS.
