Not sure what Buryats, Dagestanis, Tatars, etc, are waiting for. The Russians are using them as expendable cannon fodder and no uprisings. Also class act by the Ukrainians going maximum cringe with the racism in the comments.

Do people assume that megalomaniacs have no sense of self-preservation? Even bonafide nutjobs like Jeffrey Dahmer had that.

In the future, nuclear non-proliferation will be considered one of the greatest policy mistakes of the 20th century. Those who wanted to get them, got them through other means anyway and those that followed the rules found themselves defenseless.

He is pissed at Germany too. He's been doing this "everyone is throwing us to the dogs, poor Ukraine is all alone" act since basically the first week of the conflict. On one hand I can definitely understand his plight. He is stuck begging people for assistance to help fight Russia and the only...

Most people thought the Ghost of Kyiv was a made-up morale booster for Ukrainians anyway. I'm still not sure that he isn't and this isn't just another attempt to boost credibility by slapping the moniker on some random Ukrainian pilot but whatever.

General Putin has stepped onto the battlefield:

I wonder if foreign investment like Turkey's in Karabakh is behind these current changes: Normally I wouldn't place much stock in Aliyev's promises but he does seem to see the writing on the wall and might ease off on the insane levels of corruption in our industrial sector at least to some...

I think the most shocking part of this map is that China was generous enough to allocate some Russian land to Japan.

Oh nice, you moved them again. And you turned the wreck upside-down too so people wouldn't be able to compare to older ones. :LOL:

Reminds me of an anecdote I once heard: A tourist gets held up by an armed man in Northern Ireland who asks "Catholic or Protestant?" The tourist says "I am an atheist." The armed man contemplates this for a moment then asks "Catholic atheist or Protestant atheist?"

Kyrgyz also have territorial feud with Uzbeks and they've fought each other before in the 90s and recently clashed in 2010s. I respect pan-Turkic sentiment but don't let it override rational thought. Plus a decent amount of Tajiks are just Iranified Turkic people anyway, no need to throw away...

When did Tajikistan support PKK? I've known and lived with a fair few Tajiks, they are generally OK with Turks, even supported Azerbaijan's struggle in Karabakh.

Why did we stop public executions again? Not only do they keep society healthy but they were an excellent and cathartic form of entertainment.

Moldova makes a move and Russia declares war on Moldova. And international law will consider Moldova the aggressor regardless of background context.

If true, that's an insanely good trade-off.

Welcome back bro! How are those wunderwaffe Zircon missiles of yours going? BTW, I recommend you listen to the full interview. Context is kinda important.

YPG killed a bunch of civvies in the vicinity of Deir ez-Zor, civvies got angry, took up arms against YPG and seized two of their outposts in Hisan and Muheymide.

Not only is this badly staged propaganda but I guarantee you that most of those are not actual soldiers who will be going to the front. Russia only tends to send poor, hopeless men from places like Dagestan. Some of those guys are too clean-cut to fit that profile.

There is absolutely no indication that any of the people there are hostages. One of the kids even thanks the soldiers for bringing them food and supplies and it's pretty obvious she's not referring to the Russian army. EDIT: Also the part where the kid talks about their parents and then stops...

Last time a "corridor" was opened, Russian soldiers shelled the hell out of it. And then it turned out that the ones they were offering led straight to Russia. If you prefer to go to Poland or Romania? Tough luck, only Rossiya for you tovarish. No wonder Ukrainians don't take you at your word...
