The Brink of War?

[vnman]

I have not been in this thread, so I have no idea where everyone stands, but I thought it would be funny to share this great piece of Russian propaganda.

It is Important to understand that this was a commercial that ran in Russia in 2018. It was basically a warning from Putin to the Russian people: "this will happen if you don't vote"

Looks like you not saw video? There presenters prepare public to listen sounds of black hole and then Ukrainian president Zelenskiy starts to talk.

I did watch it, and two thoughts came to mind: (1) little things please little minds, and (2) Moses is watching a Detroit. Michigan news channel, so he's not in the middle of the action, which explains why he has to rely on the gossip of family members.

Oh look, another violation of the Geneva Convention. Rape, torture, and bombing of hospitals and elementary schools is all in there too, but I guess Russia is just seeing how many violations they can rack up.

Moses' favorite general, however, has stated that "Russia warns Ukraine plans attack on Kherson with «prohibited methods of warfare»" (https://news360.es/australia/2022/10...f-warfare-4/): "According to the Russian military high command, the Ukrainian Army could carry out a «massive missile attack» against the dam of the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric power station, located in the town of New Kakhovka.
Precisely this Tuesday Moscow has denounced a Ukrainian attack in this town, located in Kherson, where, they say, two people have lost their lives and a third has been wounded by shrapnel.
In addition, the pro-Russian governor of Kherson, Volodimir Saldo, has reported that the population of the eastern sector of the region has begun to be evacuated to the western part of the Dnieper River due to threats of a possible attack on the hydroelectric power plant.
Also, Surovikin has warned that Kiev is planning «a massive missile and artillery attack on the city without an analysis of the targets», according to the Russian news agency TASS.
«These actions may lead to the destruction of the infrastructure of a large industrial center and a large number of civilian casualties,» the top Russian military leader for the «special military operation» in Ukraine concluded."

A whiff of hypocrisy?

And to think, back in February it was clear to everyone that Putin wanted to go into Poland and Romania as well. Pretty sure those hopes are in the toilet now.

No. Target #1 after Ukraine is Canada - the same climate, the same nature. #2 is Australia - because is laying just on opposite side of the Earth: just drill tunnel to, from Canada, also there are living kangaroo, they are cute.

What to do with Poland and Romania? Romania is poor, in Poland Poles always ask for donations and reparations. Now they ask for reparations for WWII, then will ask for reparations for WWI, then Napoleon's wars.

Nope, pretty sure Putin was reminising about the great Soviet Union. Those dreams should now be in the toilet. Russia can't even hold Eastern Ukraine, much less Kiev, Warsaw, Krakow, or Bucharest.

The most stupid comparation. Newbies always compare GDPs without correction on internal consumption. for to compare countries you should always use GDP PPP, only for countries like Qatar or Luxemburg it isn't important - more than half of GDP is going to export.

You already saw: monthly amount of gas here for one family costs $3 and counted like $3 in GDP, monthly amount of gas in Poland costs $600 and counted as $600 in GDP, but it is the same amount of gas. The same story with all natural resources and their products. By the way: Poland also count as GDP EU dotation in tens of billions Euro...
