The Brink of War?

[Brad the Impala]

Delusional! This will make the West worry!

Moscow is developing measures to restrict entry into Russia for nationals of "unfriendly" countries, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has said.

"A draft presidential decree is being developed on retaliatory visa measures in response to the unfriendly actions of a number of foreign states," he said in televised remarks.

The state news agency Tass quoted him as saying the measures would "respond to unfriendly actions by the United States and its satellites", including "illegitimate sanctions" and "decisions that infringe on the rights of Russian citizens and legal entities".

heh, and sure enough Russia said it's keeping the 500 commercial planes worth $10 billion that were grounded in Russia when airspace was closed. Not going to give them back to the airlines.

Because of course...

I'm struggling with the number of planes that got grounded. I can see 5, or even 50, but 500???

"In 2019 some 4.5 billion passengers took 42 million flights worldwide. That is an average of 115,000 commercial flights everyday according to Flight Radar 24".

Google is your friend.


Oh, and Russia apparently went and poisoned that one Russian oligarch who was trying to help broker a peace deal. Really FSB?

BBC already withdrew this accusation. Abramovich also denied that.

Ah... again crocodile's tears? $10 billions you said? What about $300 billions stolen from Russian gold reserves?

Yeah, but we stole that from the Russian government. Fair play there.

Still pretty mystified as to why Russia completely leveled Mariupol. Population of ~450k, ~70% Russian speaking. Were all ~315,000 of the Russian speakers secretly Nazis, or something?

From the sounds of things, the city has basically been wiped off the map. What the fuck was the point of that?

Civilian fatalities within whole Ukraine is below 1500 as per UN Human Rights commissar. And yes, Mariupol is key for Ukraine to have control on Donbass region, that why Azov regiment has (had) headquarter there. They still have resistance point in industrial zone within "AzovSteel" manufacturing plant. Yesterday leaders of "Azov" tried to run from it on helicopter, but helicopter was destroyed before they left. Russia wants them alive.
