I think we are witnessing the downfall of Russia/Putin. I don't think there is a way back for him and I don't think he can win......his country is now seeing that he built a house of lies and once trust is lost, he is done. DD
Am I the only one that reads an article, and anytime there is a transgender person mentioned, feels like there's been a huge plot twist, and then I rack my brain and get confused trying to figure out what gender the person was and what gender they are now, etc etc ?
It's becoming a trope in these articles where the trans person involved is either incredibly brilliant (hacker) and/or crazy. I'm not saying all trans should be stereotyped in that range but news generally doesn't pick trans folk as subjects of interest in topics like "this person couldn't finance a mortgage, or that person is starting a cancer awareness drive..." It aint easy for trans. They have to reconcile reality while people are the other end are trying to doing the same thing as to where the trans would fit.
This is from Fortune Magazine. Look at this in Twitter and there are a whole series of posts from numerous sources, several Russian, that Putin's decision to "mobilize" is a catastrophe for Russia's economy. Look at the expression of the young man by the window, staring off into space. He can't believe what's happening to him. Neither can his parents, the rest of his relatives, and his friends. That's just one individual. Putin is putting hundreds of thousands in the same position.
Russians in Liman encircled, but not giving up. Many dead Russians to follow: Demanding soldiers die for no reason rather than surrendering was a big mistake fake tough guy Hitler made, too.
As these Russians watch their sons, brothers, and fathers be slaughtered out of someone else's demand, and for no good reason, I get the feeling that something is going to give, and soon. I just hope 'ole Vladimir doesn't get desperate as he is ousted from power, especially if it gets rough for him.
The operator of the Turkish Stream offshore gas pipeline South Stream Transport B.V., which transports Russian gas across the Black Sea for consumers in Turkey and European countries, announced the early revocation of its export license by the Dutch Central Authority for Import and Export (CDIU). From now on, it is allowed to transport only gas in the amount necessary to provide "emergency support in order to prevent damage to the environment." Also South Stream Transport B.V. can no longer export to Russia equipment and materials that are on the list of EU sanctions. **This means that the main apologists of Russia in Europe — Hungary and Serbia — may run out of gas. And Russia itself, taking into account the diversion on the "Nord Streams" — without money. Subscribe to ZN.UA
Dummies gonna dumb. Seems like the Trumps and Tucker Carlsons of the world are the Russia Apologists...
Who's saying that? trumpers are saying that. Far-Right extremists that support Putin because trump does are saying that. I don't know what "Leftists" you're talking about. Where do you get this nonsense?
In Europe, it's the leftists AND the right-wing extremists. E.g. in Germany, both the very far left-wing party and the very far right-wing party are Putinites. In the US, you would probably have to look at the @glynch far left-wing extreme group to find them.
