So when do we get to the spiked Kool-Aid part already?
RT @Gerashchenko_en: "You were born for death and suffering. Die with joy, it's the only thing you're good for" - Russian leaders tell their population.
Of course, that doesn't apply to leaders themselves and their family members - they were obviously born for a long, prosperous, and happy life.

Another excellent, perspicacious thread from @KristiRaik.
Much as it may tickle our fancies, the collapse/disintegration of Russia is a third-order issue.
Our 1st priority is Ukraine's victory.
Our 2nd is our own security.
After that we will have to deal with whatever 1/n

After EU enlargement Switzerland wanted to keep its special trade relationship with the EU but not to give free movement of people and labor to the new members, only to old members.
East Europeans are merely Untermenschen to the country.

Your daily reminder that to buy *any* military materiel from "neutral" Switzerland is to torch your tax money, and support Russian genocide. They'll always support the aggressor.
Swiss "neutrality" means raped Ukrainians.

Finland's leading Estophobe-skizo offers a listicle of imaginary or -- alternatively -- merely ordinary defensive steps Estonia has taken in response to Russia's genocidal war in Ukraine.

Good, this is a good use of your energies, Russia. Keep it up
In five years there will be altogether different maps of a rump failed state.
Like "FYROM" it will marked as FRFOM, Former Russian Federation of Muscovia.
You will find maps of it on Google.
