More Ukrainians coming over? I’ll give credit where it’s due, the ones I’ve seen in my neighborhood are pretty anxious to go to school or get to work. At least they’re useful immigrants, from what I’ve seen so far.

Explosions at Henichesk, Kherson. There is a bridge there to the Arabat Spit. It does have a road along the spit all the way to the Kerch Bridge.

Blowing the bridge would not affect Henichesk's small port.

All the links are being broken. Russia can retreat or suffer the loss of their armies of aggression.

Just curious here, what are you loonies going to think when the US starts hitting Chinese targets inside Cuba? Matt Gaetz is pushing for it but I really do see this as a likelihood in the not too distant future. Are we going to be the bad guy aggressors then? Are we going to be no better than “Putler” and his Nazi Army? Seriously 😐

Was looking up a Slavic version of Esperanto. There is interest in such a language.

It could be used as a soft power thing. Papering over the differences between the Eastern Orthodox and Roman Catholic churches is not a big deal. All the church heads have to get together and reach tolerance and start dialoguing ad infinitum. Pope Francis is so flexible as to make both gymnasts and demimondes blush.

Interesting thing is that Czech pan Slavic language enthusiast wanted no Russian language input. For a Pole or Ukrainian that would not be unexpected. but a Czech? Russia must have really made an ass of itself from 1945 to 1991 and beyond.

I figured you could do words on a per stipes basis. Or obviously get linguist involved and look the progenitor words and figure out which cognates would work out best for the majority of people, be easiest to teach and learn and make sense (as in not too many exceptions to the rules sort of thing).

Alas, Russia has boned everything in the butt.

Committee(s) in Congress did convene to look into Cuba waging war against the Us in the last 2 decades by spreading bird flu as an active effort.

A casus belli has already been established.

Ah, so is that why we are at war with Russia then? Did a Russian tourist sneeze in way that was deemed suspicious? Unfortunately in this day and age that doesn’t seem out to lunch like it should be.

We are at war with Russia because Russia invaded Ukraine.

It is not a fully declared war, because too many politicians are pussies. It will get to a full war. Don't you worry your pretty little head.

ru news showing the quiet area 60km back from the front... funny thing is that this far back the SU-25s are still flying treetop high.... you only do that if there is a threat. something tells me that ukr ADA is projecting deep over the south and the RUAF has taken more losses

Wagner attacked by russians that's the news, that should be the number 1 topic here no more no less.

@wartranslated
reports that Wagner Boss Prigozhin has 'declared war’ on the Russian MOD. Prigozhin is seen as Putin’s 'cattle prod’-- he's allowed to bad mouth under-performing RU generals, despite the fact that it's a felony in Russia to criticize the military.

Prigozhin may be performing for Putin's benefit.

I seriously wanted to join Wagner, trying to learn Russian, not easy by any stretch of the imagination. If this is true, I’m glad I didn’t join. I like Russia but would be at odds if I was a contractor having to fight them. What a mess over there. But do consider how divided we are here, only a matter of time before civil unrest and conflict becomes kinetic, and in a big way.

Prigozhin has announced that his forces are marching on Moscow, that civilians should stay inside, and that MoD troops should surrender to Wagner.

If he's serious, Russia is now in a state of civil war.

🚨The FSB has opened a criminal case against Prigozhin.

He is charged with calling for armed rebellion.

This is not theater. It's a real power struggle inside Russia. 🚨

The fact that Wagner relies on the MoD for logistics doesn't mean Wagner can't carry out a coup.

It means that a coup requires help from the pro-Wagner faction inside the MoD.

In latest audio message, Prigozhin claims that the majority of the Russian military supports Wagner against Shoigu.

He says soldiers are sending him messages of support, saying they'll finally receive the ammunition they need.

New messages from Wagner: "It has begun."

"Neither the FSB nor [General] Surovikin can stop what has begun."

"All the generals who, with trembling hands turn to the musicians [Wagner] with calls to stop, have actually already signed their sentences.

There will definitely be a tribunal."

I hope this isn’t true. We need a beacon of light in the world and if Russia isn’t it, then we are helpless

You are right. Who are we going to look to for any type of moral standards or civilized behavior? The west? Other wise known as sodom and Gomorra and full of purple haired screaming freaks.

The west has been come an anti christian and a rejector of 2000 years of western civilization and decency.

Like what you got? Laugh all you want fools. Your day of reckoning will come by your own hand. Good Luck with that.

@9:06, what’s so funny? What country in the world would you consider a standard at this time? Jackass

9:06 will not answer. Because there is no reply.

The west has become a copy of 1920 Weimar, a moral cesspool, secreting bile and slime. It offers no spiritual sanctity or solace. It has no comfort of spirit and that is why it is falling apart, and many of its citizens are on drugs and without hope.

Would be really funny if all this was a deepfake.
