Russia's state budget: saved
Putin's war chest: salvaged
Further proof that the Burger Reich is appeasing (((Russia))) instead of actually stopping warfare. Treaty after treaty, (((Putin))) is playing with Trump's mind like a fiddle
I'm glad Russia is winning their war

Unfortunately, the Russian "army" also disintegrated with it.
>>2719896No it wasn't. No Russian official actually said that. An American general said it, and NAFOs kept the meme in circulation with a fake screencap until even so-called western radicals started believing it.

I like how the main criticism of putin that gets conveyed by his detractors on this board is that he isn't as recklessly bloodthirsty and stupid as they are.
>>2720176Cucktin is one of the most retarded leaders in all of world history. King Lear has a higher lQ than the pathetic specimen called Vladimir Vladimirovich. It's truly a shame that the Russian people must suffer for his incompetence. At this point even Zyuganov would be a better leader. This cuckold thought he would secure his place in history by taking Ukraine and got BTFO so hard that he lost Venezuela Syria Armenia Azerbaijan and soon to be Iran, while burning through basically all Cold War era Soviet stockpilesand turning his military into a laughingstock. History will remember Cucktin as Yeltsin 2.0.

2) Lukashenko is not part of the Russian Government, nor does he represent it.
3) Ukraine practically DID surrender in a few days, asking for peace, which Putin agreed two at Istanbul, only for Zelensky to immediately turn around and launch a surprise counter-attack, forcing Russia to pull back to areas that it had a foothold in within the Donbass.

Truth. Luka overestimated Christcucktin's iron fist. It's not for nothing that Luka mentioned TWICE how the Russian Gen Staff wanted to Oreshnik the Ukro regime but Christcucktin refused. Unlike some others here, I don't blame Luka for getting into a prisoner-release deal and joining Drumpf's board of piss. Why wouldn't you hedge over doubts about Christcucktin's seriousness? And I don't blame (thx for the comprehensive list, anon) Venezuela, Cuba, India, Serbia, Syria, Iran, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan for turning more to the Western psychopaths, either. Christcucktin has no geostrategic foresight and doesn't understand the second-order effects of his Kirill "TRUMP IS BASED" diplomacy, Donbass performance, and craven tolerance for NATO provocations.
>>2721255 (me)
I've thought about this some more and have decided I was being too harsh, too hyperbolic. Like maybe a few Scientologists are dumber, but if we want to be sure, there are those UFO breeding cults around.
>>2721264Yeah tbh there was no way for them to do anything else long term even without the Maduro arc because their BRICS partners (lol) just don't have their back or any will to project their hard power. Theyll end up like Cuba if they keep going autarky.
Delcy don't have much of a choice.
>>2721372I wonder whether the KPRF will still be shitting on Khrushchev if and when Cuba falls under Putin. Will they stay the course, or will they become a real opposition party?
>>2721264>this law represents president Maduros vision for the futureThen why you couped him and brought the burgers in? disgusting
<Lavrov:
>"The spirit of Anchorage is evaporating"
I don't know what his plan is saying something like this every two weeks. If he's helping the hardliners put pressure on the Putins/Peskovs/Dmitrievs and other Anchorage fetishists, as some pundits have speculated, that's based, but if this is actually some Putin-coordinated tactic of "I'll take my ball home… really, I will!" that's just sad and pathetic.
>The Kremlin says it sees no signs the EU is reconsidering its plans to ban Russian gas, after Vladimir Putin suggested Moscow might redirect supplies elsewhere before the restrictions come into force
Yeah, Peskov, cuz nobody bloody believes Cucktin. For four years, he's "thought out loud" about lots of things he didn't have the nerve to do.
>ukraine simps forever living in the past because the present and future is so grim
>>2721494Justice for my chill pedophile homies.
I'm sorry, but Cucktin is an outdated name now. The Overton window of cuckoldry shifted a lot in the last week. Putin is less cuck of center now, if anything.
>>2721462I think there is certainly a section of people developing that is very much hardline (same is probably true for China). Iran is basically full of hardliners now.
>>2723329And this shift towards the hardline position you kinda see happening on pro-russian telegram. Some of those are also deeply involved in the smo so i would say thats a good sign overall.
i dont a see an end to this war that would leave either side in a decent state of affairs tbh. Russia having massive amounts of war debt and crippled vets and ukraine having that x10 and an essentially ruined half of a country. Shit is quite grim boyos
MOSCOW, March 6 (Reuters) - Russian companies will redirect some of the liquefied natural gas supplied to Europe to other markets, Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak said on Friday.
Russian President Vladimir Putin earlier this week proposed considering the possibility of halting gas supplies to Europe amid the sharp rise in oil and gas prices due to the Iranian crisis, thus anticipating the EU's decision on a phased plan to phase out Russian gas.
"In accordance with the president's instructions, we examined this issue today. We discussed in detail the current situation and the possibilities for redirecting gas," Novak said.
"A decision was made that some of the LNG volumes currently supplied to Europe will be redirected to other markets where constructive, pragmatic relations are being built with our country, where there is demand and the opportunity to enter into long-term contracts."
According to him, companies may redirect supplies from Europe to, among other places, India, Thailand, the Philippines, and China.
>>2723672Lol, lmao even. Russia was holding a grudge all this time and just waited for an opportune moment.
>>2723448russia barely used debt, they havent even yet drained their prepared money reserve for the war and stopped being so reliant on oil and actually taxed porkies, and the war keynesianism helped them economically
but yes, this is still a colossal waste of life and production, this is war
>>2723678So, basically we are at a point where le bastion of western freedumb against le mongol ruzzian hordes relies on large stash of cash being moved across borders like that? It looks like a parody of a Sopranos episode. Btw, if I was the Hunnic government, I would confiscate all of the goodies and if the Hohols tries to do something funny, proclaim a state of emergency and suspend the coming election - which I guess Orban would like to do at this point.
That said, and getting back to these kinds of "financial transfers", we only know about the exact amount of a single one of them because of all of this kerfuffle, but we should assume billions have been moved like that for years. And I guess every single cent of that is obviously tracked in the way they are spent once they reach Hoholistan.
>>2723681it's not even a grudge, why would they stick to europe who just accepts LNG begrudgingly, and on a temporary basis
is leftypol pro russia, pro ukraine or neither?
>>2724878pro russia except for a few idiots
>>2724878This thread is for intelligence agencies that couldn't hack it on 4chan.
>>2723882Actually as a part of a covert operation Hungarian authorities observed that at least roughly 2 billion dollars were transferred through Hungary.
>>2724900>$2 billionMeaningless really. What they open another 2 holocaust museums for a billion a pop?
>>2724970There really aren't that many holocaust musems, maybe 500 in existence.
Should be more, to warn people not to target Jews.
>>2724986shut up you fucking idiot.
>>2724878more anti-nato than pro-Russia, but more pro-Russia than pro-nazi ukraine, yes.
>>2725052>pro-nazi ukraineOnly a small portion of military action, it's weird that you are seething about it.
no movement
>>2725054this guy, who killed a 2014 after Maidan switching-sides Russian communist was awarded by zelya last year. guy's a literal nazi.
'seething about it'? nafo pls.
>>2725060Yeahhh… I'm not going to entertain some odd delusion where Zelensky is supporting nazis except for sending them to the front line to support a war which will benefit his own race (jews).
uygha plz
>>2725071You said and described, everything that my post entailed.
>>2725071The even better part is that Putin is asshurt from 80 years of history, being chabad controlled himself.
>>2721773>2014 flashback:>MOSCOW (Reuters) - A reported comment by President Vladimir Putin that Russia could capture Ukraine's capital Kiev within two weeks was taken out of context, Itar-Tass news agency quoted a Kremlin foreign policy aide as saying on Tuesday.>It quoted Yuri Ushakov as saying that whether or not those words were spoken, the quote "was taken out of context and had a totally different meaning".>Italy's La Repubblica reported this week that Putin told European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso in a telephone conversation: "If I want to, I can take Kiev in two weeks". The comment was reportedly relayed by Barroso to leaders at last weekend's European Union summit.It was "taken out of context" because it was interpreted as an imminent threat to contest more than Crimea, whereas Putin was trying to downplay any imminent threat to Ukraine by sharing his legitimate belief that he could take Kiev in two weeks if he were
actually an unhinged aggressor.
lol, so yeah, he did believe that.
>>2723158On the contrary, he's more of a cuck. Even the Ukros are wondering why the large missile/drone waves in Ukraine have suddenly stopped post-Iran. Putin is offering relief to his Western partners while they focus on Iran.
>>2723672>Russian companies will redirect some>some>1%? 5%?Typical Christcucktin half measures.
>>2724986But the Jews didn't stop the Holocaust. It was the Soviets who stopped the Holocaust. There should be 5000+ Communist propaganda centers opened worldwide so that fascists don't get any more stupid ideas.
>>2725159You missed the key weasel word.
>companies may redirect supplies>may redirect>mayCucktin is "giving permission" for something that no company is going to bother to do. The epitome of uselessness. God I can't stand this fucking CUCK.
>>2724900>>2723882There was no need for "covert operations", these are regular official money transfers between two banks that are announced in advance to the relevant authorities. The Hungarian authorities have already released the personnel because they couldn't find anything wrong with them. The money they are keeping on suspicions of "money laundering" but it is most likely made up simply to delay returning it. It's empty sabre ratting from Orbán who knows he will lose the election in April and hopes that making it look like Hungary is at war with Ukraine will somehow scare idiots into voting for him even though this whole thing just makes him look like he's desperate to drag the country into war. Despite his whole campaign being based on him being the only person who can prevent the war from reaching Hungary.
>>2725302Was just reading on Twitter that one day after Cucktin called the Gulf states, the Iranian president has apologized to them and said they'll no longer be targeted unless attacks come from there.
Grim.
>>2725308>regular official money transfers that have an SBU general escorting them for some reason>>2725157they just hit a bunch of stuff tonight
>The targets of the strikes, among other things, were energy infrastructure facilities.
>In particular, the explosions occurred in:
>— Novodnistrovsk, Chernivtsi region, where the hydroelectric power station is located;>— Ladyzhina, Vinnytsia region, where the Ladyzhinskaya thermal power plant is located;>— Kiev, Odessa, Kharkov, Zaporizhia and Zhytomyr region.
>The attack also damaged the railway infrastructure. Ukrzaliznytsia is changing train routes in the Rivne, Vinnytsia and Zhytomyr regions. >>2725353He gave them a 10-day pause until he could secure a commitment from Iran not to target Gulf states and inconvenience the West.
The energy infrastructure campaign was a dud, as it was always destined to be under Putin's leadership.
Caused some blackouts and inconveniences, but electrical availability never dropped below an average 40% because after one flirtation with hitting one of the Rosne 750kV substations, Putin didn't have the nerve to actually wipe out all the 750kV nuclear substations.
So now it's just a rinse-and-repeat limp strategy targeting the same facilities, sending the same pointless le rational thinker man signals that rabid animals don't give a shit about.
>>2725397 (same)
>same pointless le rational thinker man signals that rabid animals don't give a shit about.Much like the two Oreshnik strikes, btw.
>>2725397>>2725400I like how whenever Putin needs to make it clear that he's serious (he's not serious) he launches an Oreshnik strike that doesn't even hit anything important and accomplishes nothing. He does this roughly once a year.
>>2725512>once a year Putin is a fucking schizo who needs to breathe in the aroma of Monster Energy deeply and to watch Making Fiends
>>2725512They don't care about Russia's capabilities and signals under Putin, because they know he's never going to use them effectively and will always be bogged down in Donbass, putting no real pressure whatsoever on Ukraine's political center of gravity.
They COULD be concerned about potential Putin replacements who'll untie the military's hands, but I haven't seen anyone on the bench who's all that better. Maybe worried about a Prighozin 2.0 scenario that actually succeeds?
<Rybar in English
<@rybar_en
<📝 They've reached the dry cargo ships too
<Another Russian-linked vessel has been seized — this time the dry cargo ship Caffa, detained off Sweden’s southern coast while carrying mandarins to St. Petersburg.
<The ship used to sail under the Russian flag and exported grain from Crimea, which is why it ended up on sanctions lists.
<This is exactly the trend we’ve been warning about: pressure on Russian commercial shipping is growing steadily. Even ordinary dry cargo vessels are no longer safe in the Baltic.
<If there’s no adequate response, the Baltic will gradually turn into a de facto NATO lake, and the same scenario will likely spread to the Mediterranean. The appetite for further restrictions, including on Kaliningrad, is only increasing.
The return of '22 Rybar? Could it be? Are the rumors of discontent in the foreign policy and military policy establishments real and his MoD friends have let him speak openly again?
>>2725556Relax my ziggers. Russia didn't need those fruits anyways. Who cares if NATO starts hijacking every Russian ship they can get their hands on? The most important thing is to maintain the Spirit of Anchorage and relations with Trump.
>>2725567Fake IntBrig, but true: Putin is letting them slice that salami in shipping just like they sliced it in Ukraine to the point that Donbass is going nowhere and no Russian or Ukrainian can stick his head out there without getting FPV droned.
3 Zakharova statements
2 Medvedev nuke threats
1 Putin legal complaint
and a partridge in a pear tree
>>2725308i thought hungary took the money as leverage so ukraine would turn the oil pipe back on? legally they'd have claim to it if ukraine broke the contract
>>2725614The official statement is that it was seized due to suspicion of money laundering and the narrative parroted by the government politicians is that the money could have been used to finance their opposition.
Hungary gave Ukraine three days to restore oil flows or else it will reveal who was doing the illicit money shit. Seems a bit sketchy of them to imply they'd seal their lips in exchange for oil, tbh. I hope they do the right thing and spill regardless.

It's a testament to the sheer resilience of Soviet engineering and urban planning that hundreds of drones and missiles are only capable of so much even despite ukrainian neglect and corruption. This is literally one of those stories about primitive post-apocalyptic tribes fighting each other using the technology of a long-lost highly advanced civilization
NEW
The Kremlin "accidentally" leaked unedited footage of geriatric Putin having a coughing fit, sparking rumors on Telegram among ecstatic Russian ultras that their long-discussed plot of the Siloviki using the Security Council to remove Putin for "health reasons" is underway. Supposedly the Siloviki has been disgusted with weak-ass Putin for a long time and only the oligarch faction was propping him up, but now it too sees him as a liability to profits, given that he's persisting in his delusional "spirit of Anchorage" / "Dmitriev $14T formula" instead of milking the current energy crisis for all it's worth (including approving hybrid attacks to exacerbate it).
Please have a greater than 20% chance of being true…
>>2727224wait… so does this mean that cucktin posters won?
>>2727232It's still at the fanfiction stage, imo.
The only thing I'm convinced of is that it wasn't an accidental leak, but this could be something coordinated by Putin for some unknown reason.
>>2727224>see news about le groundbreaking Putin "leak">everyone talking like it's le big happening, Putin dropping some inconvenient truthnukes or something>see what it's about>it's the kremlin website posting the wrong take of the women's day address where Putin coughs a littleFucking schizos man

>>2727351>Peskov wonders what law had replaced international law. >International law effectively no longer exists, and what has replaced it is still difficult to articulate, Peskov stated. He called the global situation a "perfect storm," in which Russia needs to focus on its own interests.Someone should tell them
>>2727357Earlier I saw the one below and was amazed that it was coming from Peskov:
>@SprinterPress>To be honest, I don't even understand how to urge anyone to follow the norms and principles of international law anymore. It practically doesn't exist anymore, says Kremlin spokesman Peskov.I was hopeful it indicated a change in Putin's thinking. Then I remembered that people at that age are unable to change. Likely just more Kremlin whining.
>Iran has 'betrayed all of us' but all sides must de-escalate, says Qatar PMSheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani described Iran's strikes on Gulf countries as a "dangerous miscalculation", warning the escalation risks destabilising the region and sending shockwaves through the global economy.
Speaking to the media for the first time since Qatar has come under repeated missile and drone attacks, the prime minister said the country had entered what he called "a very difficult period" but praised the professionalism of its defence and security forces.
For a man who has mediated some of the world's most complex crises, what stood out to me was how angry he was about Iran's actions.
"It is a big sense of betrayal," he told me. "Just an hour after the start of the war, Qatar and other Gulf countries have been attacked. We made clear that we were not going to take part in any wars against our neighbours."
For a country that has long kept diplomatic channels open with Tehran - even during the most volatile moments - the tone was striking. Qatar has traditionally positioned itself as a global mediator, able to speak to everyone. That relationship with Tehran now appears strained.
"All the attacks on the Gulf countries - we never expected this from our neighbour," he said. "We have always tried to preserve a good relationship with Iran, but the justifications and pretexts they are using are completely rejected."
Yet even as he condemned the strikes, the prime minister repeatedly stressed that military escalation would only deepen the crisis - and that the responsibility to step back lies with all sides.
"We continue to seek de-escalation," he said. "They are our neighbours - it's our destiny
His message was directed not only at Tehran. He also called on the United States to reduce tensions, warning of the risk that the entire region slides into war.
Diplomacy, he argued, remains the only viable path out of the crisis.
"The miscalculation by the Iranians to attack Gulf countries has destroyed everything," he said, but insisted the answer now must be renewed negotiations.
He also pushed back against claims that Iran's strikes were aimed at military targets.
International airports, water utilities and gas infrastructure have all been in Tehran's crosshairs.
"Twenty-five percent of the attacks are targeting civilian facilities. What has this got to do with the war? What do they want to achieve?"
Over and over again, the prime minister returned to the global stakes - and that what happens in the Gulf won't stay in the Gulf. Qatar supplies roughly 20 percent of the world's gas and is one of the planet's largest fertiliser producers - meaning any sustained disruption would impact markets, food supplies and people worldwide.
Even as the Gulf states insist this is not their fight, however, they are an integral aspect of it.
And that, perhaps, is the central danger of this moment - a war that began between the United States, Israel and Iran is now dragging in countries that want no part of it, but increasingly find themselves on its front lines.

>>2728034>Wtf do they put in the water in Baltistan to make them say shit like this?They know that they are not just vassals, but their whole existence as a state depends on the US and nato.
How does a baltic politicians cope with the situation where your country is a microstate with third of the population are russian speakers and the whole country is culturally Russia-lite with some Germanic and finnic undertones. The only reason your country also exists on the goodwill and geopoliticial machinations of other superpower 20k km away done in the 1990s, but your usefulness is generally waning to them and is constantly in question. politically the country is owned by three American and one German banks, sealed by EU lockgrip so liberalism is the only way, so no promising any grand national project, better tomorrow or welfare to the people beyond what the free market can provide. National Chauvinism however is free and effective.
However even a small war would leave your country totally destroyed and probably irreversibly depopulated, but that superpower across the sea only needs you as a forward military base, but that military base is geographically too much forward for to actually deploy troops without risking immediate encirclement of Nato and US troops. They of course warmonger, make allies with neocons in Europe and US and manage escalation and the flow of gibs. Baltoids are literally never noticed beside when they do their little statements and do petty "gottem" moves on Russia and China to please the master who can maybe give them a job in Nato or EU bureaucracy once they retire from politics and finally find freedom from the half-Russian shithole they really secretly despised all along.
Le interimperialist conflict. Reminder.
>>2730446>just blow everything up American/Israel-style >just level every Ukrainian city to the groundwouldnt even stop drone production you retarded psycho
>>2730446Putin has heard your concerns and released a statement via Peskov.
Peskov: "A trilateral format is precisely what's needed. Everyone is interested in it. The main thing is that the Americans are ready to continue their mediation efforts. Putin highly values these mediation efforts. We are grateful for this and are interested in continuing this process. There are no specific dates yet for continuation, nor are there specific locations."
>>2730507It's a real quote. He said it some hours ago.
I used to criticize Xi for not fully committing to Russia wrt Ukraine. I was wrong. Xi knows that Putin and his Dmitriev-tier oligarchs jump with excitement at every sign of attention from America. Can't trust that.

>>2732323this image is very funny considering Putin is probably the last leader alive who earnestly believes in international law (which is not a good thing)
sometimes I wish I lived in the same universe that nafo does
>>2733347A country can't be relevant based on nukes alone. A a country that is small and weak in terms of traditional armed forces is not relevant and probably a security risk to all. Since if nukes give them the illusion fo strength they will try to push the envelope and they pretty much have to act like they might use them the need arises to them have any utility for them. Any diplomatic military or economic conflict they might get into they will very quickly run into a dilemma of either threatening nukes or cucking out. Irrelevant states with no strategic depth or staying power will be pretty quickly put into that position. Imagine giving Estonia nukes? St Petersburg and Tallinn both would be nuclear wasteland in an afternoon.
Countries like UK and maybe France, but especially UK should be removed from the security council and India put in it's place. Neither are really relevant or sovereign. IF EU were any less spastic and divided (and hopelessly fascist) maybe French seat should be given to EU to have some greater resemblance of balance of power. If the council is just expanded mindlessly then it just bogs down the already dysfunctional UN system with multiplying countries with veto rights. The whole SC and it's veto system really should be abolished or reworked for multipolar world.
Why nuclear bombs are so feared?
Isn't better to get nuked than some other shit they pull on you? Like wasn't better for syria to get 1 nuke than ISIS
>>2733572probably the decades of nuclear fallout
>>2733572How many Russian families have lost sons, how many have lost fathers, due to Putin cowering before bullshit international law and refusing to just nuke Lvov. Should a pest exterminator ignore the hives right outside and only focus on the invaders directly within the four oblasts? It fucking enrages me to think about.
>>2733347Israel shouldn’t have a seat because Israel doesn’t exist.
>>2733643Most fallout is gone in like 2 weeks. After 2 days you can usually leave the shelter and flee if the need acute and yo don't risk any long term harm. The worst moments are really the 15-20 minutes after the blast when the most radioactive fallout starts to rain down on the area. That's why Hiroshima and Nagasaki are fine places to live with no mega cancer rate or deformed babies.
it's different if the bomb is "salted" like with cobalt. That leaves fallout lasting decades and centuries. I'm not even sure if those exists.
>>2732012America should die already. Let it rot like a bloated corpse at sea.
>>2732425Tbh Russian-bro your people kind of deserve it. Half of Europe, a huge chunk of Central Asia, immense respect and allies across the entire world, and your leaders sold it all away for NATO promising to not expand eastwards. The USSR was the only civilization in world history that committed suicide while under no existential pressure, simply for handshakes and fake promises from their enemies. Zyuganov won against Yeltsin but was too much of a coward to launch a coup and to contest for power. A few thousand liberal retards killed and a bit of bloodshed would have preserved the USSR but when push came to shove no one wanted to get their hands dirty.
>>2733657Really nice to see justice for once.
>>2733804
Now make the same for USA and gulf Arabs
>>2733656There is no design complexity to a ‘salted’ bomb, you just place a layer of reactant over an existing bomb.
>>2733572If you have a committed insurgency like ISIS and your adversaries are committed to nuking you until they are pacified then it is not just one nuke but the eradication of your populace. Something similar happened in the Paraguayan war: their commander refused to surrender until he was killed and he conscripted every man in the nation, while the allied forces signed a treaty mandating that they continue fighting until the Paraguayan government was toppled. After Paraguay was routed they fell back to guerilla tactics and ultimately consumed ~90% of the male populace fighting a hopeless war.
If Israel and the US fought a country this way with nuclear arms they could depopulate it immediately.
>>2733729>The USSR was the only civilization in world history that committed suicide while under no existential pressureLul, what? What do you think nato was for?
>>2733815My guess is they are happy to live in the US and Europe while retaining rights to the oil, and as far as that is concerned the US is doing its utmost to restore the flow. They will be hung out to dry in the event that the US charges them a protection fee, but they would need to do this before the conflict resolves.

Decap strikes are needed. Why oh lord WHY won't Russia do it??!!!
Just target the most elite Ukrainians, absolutely no one will cry for them. Ukrainians will welcome Russians with open arms if Russia does that.
Instead Russia targets power stations so civilians freeze to death.
How many Vietnams and Koreas and Afghanistans and now Irans do countries need to see to what an effective war actually is? You either go full WW2 style total war total destruction, or you only target the hated elites to encourage regime change.
Nothing in-between will work.

>>2733928>the reason for that, for Japan and Germany, is that they were the losers of the WWII.Yes I know all that. China's seat was originally held by Taiwan until 1971
> Other countries that didn't participate were allowed up to some point.The NPT went into effect in 1970. Only countries that built nukes before 1968 are allowed to have nukes by the treaty.
>The treaty defines nuclear-weapon states as those that have built and tested a nuclear explosive device before 1967; these are the United States (1945), Russia (1949), the United Kingdom (1952), France (1960), and China (1964). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treaty_on_the_Non-Proliferation_of_Nuclear_Weapons#IsraelIsrael would qualify probably but they don't want to admit they even have nukes.

And speaking of Germany, the Germans and French were making overtures towards sharing the French nukes as EU nukes and funding the building of more Frog Nukes but it seems they've cucked and that's gone no where. I've been advocating for that for years.

>>2734685>why? its stupid, france is not gonna give up sovereignty on its nukes, and especially not for fucking latvia or the germans that fucked us all economically.Did you even read the article I linked?
>France and Germany announced plans on Monday to deepen cooperation on nuclear deterrence, marking a significant shift in European defence policy as the continent faces rising threats from Russia and instability linked to the Iran conflict.
>The countries will set up a high-level steering group to align strategy, according to a joint statement. Germany will join French nuclear exercises and inspections of strategic sites, while both aim to strengthen conventional and missile defence capabilities with other European partners.
>"In response to the evolving threat landscape," the statement read, France and Germany have agreed to pursue "closer cooperation in the field of deterrence."
>The initiative reflects Europe's push to reduce reliance on the U.S. nuclear umbrella, long central to regional security, after Russia's invasion of Ukraine exposed gaps in Europe's defences.
>The Paris‑Berlin partnership poses challenges for Germany, which is barred from developing nuclear weapons under the Two Plus Four Treaty and the Nuclear Non‑Proliferation Treaty. Public opinion remains divided on nuclear issues, complicating policy choices.
>Separately, French President Emmanuel Macron, speaking Monday at a submarine base in Brittany, announced plans to expand France's nuclear arsenal and involve European allies in exercises.
>Poland meanwhile said it is exploring advanced nuclear deterrence cooperation with France and other European partners. "We are arming up together with our friends so that our enemies will never dare to attack us," Prime Minister Donald Tusk said on X.
>On 2 March 2026, French President Emmanuel Macron announced he had ordered France to start producing more nuclear warheads, increasing France's nuclear arsenal for the first time since 1992. He announced a new strategy allowing the temporary deployment of France's nuclear-armed aircraft, the Dassault Rafale, to allies.[7][8]
< EU cant have a shared seat because they would never amount to anything as they couldnt agree on shit except being america bitch. The seat is another matter, but the Euro army and joint nuclear umbrella is exactly the only route to stop being America's bitch. France and Germany are too weak to stand on their own.
So France just started producing weapons again in conjunction with Germany and their other allies. It's going to cost a lot of money and take a lot of technical expertise to really bring up their military on power with the world powers which they can't do on their own. Would probably advantage both Germany and France both to no longer have US nukes stationed in Germany.
So Russia lost huh
did the front stop?
>>2735087Nah, it's going the opposite way now
>>2735025There will be another 2 day special operation to rectify this
>>2735025No, proletariat did. Russia is as strong as it ever was.
>>2735360I thought Russians were celebrating already having depleted the useless american air defense like 2 years ago. What gives?
so, Russia won, huh.
>>2734983yeah despite what you seem to think, the president cant simply hand over the nukes without any debate and theres 0 chance of shit like that passing through the assembly, and plenty of military industrial partnership attempts with germany have been tried and failed over the years despite that kind of empty declarations. The policy of defending europe with french nukes always was kinda ambiguous and will most likely stay that way, and it would only be unenforceable promises anyway.
>Euro army and joint nuclear umbrella is exactly the only route to stop being America's bitchno, it is the route of being america bitch and keep being another appendices of the US empire to handle russia for them, because if you knew anything about EU you'd know the only thing that keep it together is being the US lapdog and all that rearmament is a lot of buying US weapons and being hostile to russia
>France and Germany are too weak to stand on their own.france foreign politics was a thousand times more independent when they were less integrated with the EU. And germany is an occupied country with no independence whatsoever, just look how they reacted to the US blowing up their critical energy infrastructure

Why do they wait till USA picks them off one by one?
>>2737532Why didn't USSR send heavy industries, oil, etc etc to Cuba?
>>2737532Because BRICS is a cope
>>2737530Perhaps you don't know this, but the "referendums" in the Donbas in 2014 were not legitimate in any way at all. See pic. If armed militants are kidnapping and beating "no" voters in a yes/no referendum, it's not a free or fair vote
Source for image:
https://archive.is/Uyjxa >>2737550these gloguys come here and try to convince us that most donbas and crimea peeps would vote to stay with the banderites in kiev and not go with russia if only the vote was 'free and fair'. and they wonder why we dismiss them.
>>2737539If the separatists never had any popular support, why did they only succeed in the regions with the strongets Russian idenitity? Did the FSB operatives not have enough fuel to drive to Lviv?
>>2737578>SucceedThey didn't succeed anywhere except for Crimea. 90% of them hopped across the border to go live in Russia instead and the remaining 10% was shelled to death by the Banderites. This is why when Russia invaded in 2022 there were no mass uprisings to aid them. Everyone pro-Russian already either fled to Russia or died.
>>2737532Because Russia and Venezuela are ultra corrupt mafia states where investing in them is basically pissing money into the wind and Iran is run by deeply incompetent theocratic clergy that polling from even Iranian sources has shown around 25%-40% of the country even barely support (with actual serious I like my Government estimated only around 15%)
China knows any money they invest into Venezuela or Russia, 80% of it will disappear and be totally unacounted for, likely similar numbers for Iran itself. This is why China instead of doing the typical IMF thing and spending hundreds of billions for it to all disappear into personal bank accounts of African political leadership who blow half of it on hookers in Dubai, China literally went into Africa itself with it's own workers and built the shit directly. China built entire cities like Addis Ababa meanwhile hundreds of billions of dollars since the 1990s and Western Investment in Africa has resulted in… a half built road and a bunch of projects where the groundwork was started then stalled immediately.
Russia is the most "serious" country of the lot and literally it's entire military modernization fell off the back of a truck onto VK airsoft stores (literally airsoft gear I bought from them back in the 2010s had Russian military production stamps lmao) and all the money invested into training went straight into officers dachas. Fucking NORTH KOREA have more modern, adaptable military structure and command than Russia. What even fucking happens when Putin dies? We see no real evidence of any plans of succession of power. Without the good will Putin built up in the 2000s, will people continue to be this forgiving of United Russia?
>>2737581Can you answer why only the most Russian regions were able to rebel? There are a lot of other regions that border Russia where the protests were crushed or barely took place. The regions where massacres of anti-Maidan protestors are also very Russian. Were the unarmed who were burned alive in Odessa FSB agents?
>>2737597Tbh I think if free and fair elections were held in Russia today the Communists would win. United Russia has literally nothing going for it.
>>2737627they are functionally the same party anyway
>>2737532Anti-imperialist?
How the fuck do Ukrainians still have the morale to fight this retarded war. How is there not mass protests and strikes yet?
>>2737664unprecedented givas/bribery and an elaborate enforcement system to squash any hint of dissent
>>2737664500 drones for every 1 soldier holding a trench. This is why there have been no mass rebellions after the vans bus the new conscripts to the front lines. They realize Russia's military is retarded and cannot achieve anything and they will be relatively safe.
>>2737528Why should we support anti-communists?
>>2737664It just goes to show that real spontaneous rebellion is exceptionally unlikely in a modern treat society, even a relatively poor one like Ukraine. Even with the periodic blackouts and the risk of busification, the average ukrainian has too much to lose to put their freedom or life on the line. It would take Russia somehow cutting off the internet, TV and creating significant food and commodity shortages
>>2737680Creating an economic blockade is nowadays impossible unless you are a tiny island and right next to the worlds biggest capitalist country (Cuba). And even then Cuba survived quite a long time mostly on aid. Its another reason why the US is resorting back to military means, economic sanctions have overall gotten much less effective as a weapon. The US and its allies cant stop North Korea getting its materials so why should we think Russia could impose an effective blockade when they dont even control their borders? As long supplies come from land unhindered from the neighbouring countries it will have little effect. They did also with striking border regions but still, there exist much more trucks and cars than there exist missiles which they could strike them with.
>>2737680bro what treats? the IMF raped the Ukrainian economy to death even before our Cuckmander in Chief invaded. ukraine didn't rebel simply because most of them don't want to fight for either side.
>>2737735most importantly, no popular communist organization. Organization is always key to resistance.

>>2737550>>2737559Democracy means that people need to be able to vote how they want, although I do think that democratic choices should probably be constrained by international law.
>>2737578I'm not saying the pro-Russia separatists had no popular support - I don't know what the level of popular support would have been. The "referendums" clearly weren't an accurate reflection of popular support, for the reasons I stated.
>>2737595What you're saying has nothing to do with the fact that Russian-supported separatists ran "referendums" which clearly weren't legitimate.
>>2737627It's difficult to know who would win. Voters don't want to give their true opinions to pollsters when they believe they could be imprisoned for those opinions.
>>2737532>anti-imperialist>RussiaRussia has been waging an imperialist invasion of Ukraine for 4 years now.
>>2737664I guess there are a lot of Ukrainians who don't want to be subjugated by the imperialist regime in Moscow.
>>2737676You can support who you like, but any person who imposes imperialism must necessarily oppose Russia's imperialist invasion of Ukraine.

>>2739318Do they need them?
>imperialism is when le war
>>2739339>Russia has been waging an imperialist invasion of Ukraine for 4 years now.Nope. Russia is defending its Oblasts of Donetsk, Lugansk, Zaporozhye, and Kherson from Ukrainian imperialism backed by NATO.
>>2739355Iran absolutely needs nukes and would benefiting mentally from them yes. That is the key part that has kept North Korea safe from imperialism in being bombed or invaded in the past decades. This should be very clear to you by now seeing all the regime changes and people being toppled that nuclear weapons are a great deterrents
>>2739364Would benefit immensely*
>>2739364You say that they need them. But Iran clearly doesn't think they need them considering the Nuclear fatwa.
>>2739367Yes, they need them if Iran had nukes the United States would not be able to do all these bombings nor could Israel do it to them for all these decades. Them being able to sustain themselves despite the nukes does not mean that they don't need them.
God, I wish the US could be as half of le bad Russia is in terms of imperialism.
Did a M1A2 abrams run over your taxi that transports wood? bad luck, no US citizenship for you, no access to US law, no access to US prosecution, and you'll never get US judges to prosecute the good democratic soldiers that ran over your Iraqi taxi.
Poor, poor, poor imperialized Ukrainians that fell under the legal jurisdiction of Russia, poor, poor, people.
>>2739367And this is also the same case for somebody like Gaddafi who would have benefited immensely from having nukes to protect himself. Same case for many other leaders. Denuclearization does not help you against imperialism
>>2739371They wanted to oppress their Russian-speaking population IN PEACE, but then Russia invaded
>>2739369>>2739371So why is it Russia's responsibility to convince Iran of this again?
>>2739375Can you link me to the comment where I said it is Russia's responsibility to convince them?
All ukraine wanted was to complete the Donbass Genocide, but Russia just had to do imperialism and save them :(
>>2739374I don't understand what you're comment is about in regards to what I posted
>>2739382>>2739383They'll just say that Russia was hitting their puppets to stoke fears and paranoia and to put the blame on squeeky clean Ukrainian Nazis who didn't do anything wrong\
Oh, and also, after those artillery strikes, OBVIOUSLY the local population wants to return into Ukaine's loving embrace, duh, and Russia represses them and doesn't let them have a self-determination :(
>>2739359Imperialism is when a country tries to take land from another country, or tries to subjugate that country. Russia is currently trying to do both of these things to Ukraine.
>>2739361Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhzhia, and Kherson are Ukrainian oblasts, and Ukraine is trying to defend itself from Russia's imperialist invasion

>>2739339>>2739406you have no idea what imperialism means for a marxist, hence why you're condemned to your retarded liberal interpretations of the world that always end up with your support for nato imperialism
>>2739406While I'm not pro-Ukraine for other reasons (Hate butthurt belt mentality, and despise Galician nationalism and their horseshit anti-communism), I agree in that the Lenin definition of Imperialism being the only form of Imperialism is basically horseshit. Finance Imperialism might be the latest STAGE of Imperialism, but it isn't the only form of Imperialism.
According to clowns here, ISIS, who were trying to establish an Islamic empire through mass ethnic cleansing and territorial expansion, wasn't Imperialist.
>>2739417Even by Lenin's definition, what Russia is doing is Imperialism. Ignoring the fact that Putin's mindset is to place himself among the Russian Imperial greats as his legacy, he is trying to keep Ukraine under Russian financial boot.
>>2739426>ISIS, who were trying to establish an Islamic empire through mass ethnic cleansing and territorial expansion, wasn't Imperialist.ISIS was not imperialist, correct. Read theory:

ukraine voted for viktor yanukovich and the party of regions, and their votes were nullified by a gang of criminals who seized power illegally and then systematically banned anyone who opposed that.
ukraine elections since then are just a euromaidan circlejerk where you get to vote for which nato-worshipping banderist you hate the least, and even then they're lying to you (zelensky) and you get the same thing no matter how you vote. 2010 was the last democratic election ukraine had. the referendums in the russian areas since then were more democratic than anything ukraine has had since.
>>2739406They were given every opportunity to settle with Russia peacefully. When all other options fail, war is inevitable. The fault lies with Ukraine, not Russia.
>>2739411>>2739417>imperialism, state policy, practice, or advocacy of extending power and dominion, especially by direct territorial acquisition or by gaining political and economic control of other areashttps://www.britannica.com/topic/imperialismI hadn't even looked at that definition beforehand yet my definition is pretty much the same. Interesting.
>>2739426>Hate butthurt belt mentalityI don't think there's anything wrong with eastern European countries wanting to decide their own futures, within international law, and without Russian imperialism pressing down on them.
>>2739428Exactly
>>2739457>get back to us when ukraine un-bans socialists and pro-russiansI think different political positions should be free to exist in a democracy, and yes Ukraine's democracy is flawed (as are all democracies), but that doesn't justify Russia's imperialist invasion of Ukraine.
>ukraine voted for viktor yanukovich and the party of regionsIn 2010, yes. Then in 2014, Ukraine's parliament legally voted to remove Yanukovych from power. A new election was held, and Poroshenko won. It seems a Party of Regions candidate stood in 2014, but he only got 3% of the vote.
>the referendums in the russian areas since then were more democratic than anything ukraine has had sinceIf you can show that opposition supporters (Opposition Platform supporters) in 2019 were being kidnapped by armed militants, as was happening to opponents of unification with Russia in the Donbas "referendums" of 2014, please do.
>>2739459You're certainly not a leftist if you justify this imperial nonsense from the Kremlin
>>2739426The only goal of ISIS was defending Israel at all costs. They were not a real, independent political movement or state in any way.
>>2739550>Ukraine's parliament legally voted to remove Yanukovych from power.Nope. it was illegal at multiple levels. they did not have sufficient votes to remove (3/4 is required to remove a sitting pres, not just a majority) and they did not follow constitutional procedures of creating a committee to investigate the alleged crime(s) (there were no alleged crimes even given as the grounds for removal), and they did not have the supreme court review the investigation and allegations before the vote to remove, as required by the constitution.
The Euromaidanites had their brownshirts run him out of the country under threat of murder and then used his physical absence as a basis for the vote (which is not a constitutional basis) and then their vote did not get the 3/4ths required either.
It was an illegal and unconstitutional coup at every level. and every election since then has been a euromaidan circlejerk with opposition banned.

https://eventsinukraine.substack.com/p/ukraine-becoming-little-russia>Parliament has been consistently failing to pass laws like this demanded by the IMF and EU for months now. But these are Ukraine’s last sources for financial support, and without it, the country’s top tax official warns, the country will face a ‘financial catastrophe’ this spring. Just as bad is the prospect that Ukraine won’t be allowed to join the EU, something that otherwise was just around the corner!>Given that Zelensky enjoys a majority in parliament that otherwise obeys his will, Ukraine’s leading liberal publications have been sounding the alarm: the president and his cronies are pushing the country away from Civilized Europe. The end point of this diabolical plan: Ukraine once again becomes a Russian satellite. Instead of Ukraina, Little Russia, Malorossiya!>Indeed, what if Zelensky runs out of western funds and faces serious defeats at the frontline — no doubt he will blame the EU for simultaneously not giving him enough aid to win, and forcing him to implement destructive, unpopular western reforms? One could even imagine him saying:>‘But don’t blame me, I held out despite the pressure, and stopped parliament from committing an OnlyFans tax genocide! And now, it’s time to end this brother war.’>And then, armed with a battalion of loyal Amazonian bodyguards, Gaddafi style, Zelensky will shake hands with Putin at the negotiating table. >>274342921 shiploads!

If Israel succeeds in taking out Iran they will also stand out as an example for brutal ethno-nationalism beating the "anti chauvinists".

>>2749290where are you getting this from?
>>2749290Orban's only virtue is that he's tried to maintain some degree of independent foreign policy from Brussels. But that isn't allowed in the EU anymore so he has to go.
It would be nice to see Orban win again just because the Ukraine and EU/NATO want him to lose and they deserve to fail and seethe, but really Orban's opposition has never amounted to much of anything in terms of outcomes. At most it just delays some things for a while and then they go through later. Him winning or losing isn't really going to change anything about the war.

>>2748616"Blacks" aren't a "nationality" in the USA.
>>2748628>>2748638>>2748651>>27486539 out of 10 ad agencies and media outlets are owned by Fidesz oligarchs, the rest are EU/NED/Soros funded, with no real independent voices to be had. Fidesz p. much gerrymandered all the voting districts for itself and has collected all the favorable voters into a huge ass illegal database that it uses to mobilize them for the election.
In other words Orbán maxxed out what is still considered under capitalism a "corrupted" democracy, but the actual votes are still technically free and anonymous with an overseeing body of civilians that ensures the process is legitimate, it's just that to win against Fidesz, you have to overcome a shitton of obstacles, which is still possible if unlikely.
By the way the contesting party is led by and filled to the brim with ex-Fidesz apparatchiks plus a few failed lib/"socdem" politicians and "experts".
Whoever wins this election, the Hungarians lose. Just three decades ago EU papers wrote about a rising young star, Viktor Orbán, who will surely bring Hungary to the new post-socialist era. They are now doing the same to Péter Magyar, his opponent.
Fact remains that the fucking oil infrastructure of Hungary is tied to Russia and feefees can't overcome realsies. Same with Hungary's soviet tech nuclear energy plant - necessarily tied to Rosatom. And finally, perhaps more crucially, it was the "socdems" in power who opened up diplomatic and economic ties with China and brought in the first waves of investments, because Hungary is, and throught it's history always was, situated on the border between the East and West, which means that it is literally not in the interest of any ruling party to let Ukraine in the EU (among several other economic - mostly agricultural - reasons).
But ofc Brussels might try installing a puppet government, but those necessarily fail, because by doing their bidding they would necessarily have to hurt national interests, ultimately meaning the wellbeing of the Hungarian people.
So whenever I see either pro-Fidesz or anti-Fidesz posting here I just scratch my head. At BEST the EU could control a puppet gov for one electoral cycle, after which they'd be overcome by Fidesz. (This also happened before.)
The opposition leader staunchly denies being in the pocket of Ukraine but tactically positions himself for the moment as more pro-EU, in the sense of being more anti-corruption and pro-democracy (meaningless shit), while on economic and social issues sometimes being more pro-capitalist than Orbán. For example voices from his newly formed party called for rent controls which he shut down as being "communism", while Fidesz has always made sure to give little crumbs to the poor, elderly, and the gipsy minority, especially around election times.
By the way, if Magyar wins, regardless what geopolitical or economic decisions he makes, I expect his government to be an insane shitshow, because his party consists mostly of already failed talking heads and Fidesz-rejects like himself, meaning that it's a completely incompetent group of morons that were clobbered together in under a year with no political cohesion or discipline whatsoever, which is why, fucking hilariously, his party is even more centralized than Fidesz (what Magyar says, goes) and his plan to "take back the economy from Fidesz oligarchs" at best will be a swift ownership change to his selected oligarchs.
So, idk, just stop being either pro- or anti-Fidesz. It's pure hysteria on both sides and even the ""new"" guys win they will either try to change course and necessarily lose the next election, or they replace the evil oligarchs with the good oligarchs and nothing fundamental fucking changes.
>>2749950
>stop wanting words have meaning
Nope. His comparison fails exactly because minorities and nationalities aren't the same.
>>2749964"Blacks" in this case merely refers to the historically oppressed grouping of nationalities that were imported into America by slaveowners and who grew up detached from their native lands and native culture. If anything it's a more accurate descriptor than singling out ethnic ties since it doesn't matter whether they came from Ethiopia Nigeria Angola etc. since the US government groups them all in racial surveys under the meaningless term "African-American" anyways.
>>2749964A "minority" group is merely a broad amalgamation of nationalities. So if you can oppress a minority group you can oppress a nationality. This is you playing retarded word semantics since you don't have an actual argument in favor of "non-oppressive" ethnic relations and are content with quibbling over phrasing and words rather than formulating a coherent explanation for why the USSR's ethnic policymaking was actually good despite it being one of the main drivers for the USSR's dissolution.
>>2749970>why the USSR's ethnic policymaking was actually goodBecause it enabled ethnic minorities or nationalities to keep their unique language & culture and exist in their native environment within the USSR without getting oppressed and/or exploited, enjoying exactly the same rights as other more populous ethnicities inside the USSR. This was anti-imperialism in practice under AES and it worked beautifully as long as the USSR existed. Liberals can't comprehend this. Their "multiculturalism" is not anti-imperialist. It is in fact inherently suprematist in nature, creates ethnic conflicts to distract workers from class struggle. Materialistcally the goal is to get preferably young people to move from point A to point B in order to get the price of labour to a desired level at point B.
>the main drivers for the USSR's dissolutionThe USSR did not disintegrate over "nationalism", it eventually fell because a bunch of traitors and liberal retards cucked to western liberalism out of sheer stupidity. Nationalism wasn't a thing inside the Warszaw pact at all, it only spread after the fall of the Iron Curtain enabled westoids to pour their reactoid "nationalist" diaspora cucks in.
>>2750244>Nationalism wasn't a thing inside the Warszaw pact ok Poland was different, they're probably the most nationalist, anti-communist and reactionary nation in Europe today and had a significantly big pro-west liberal opposition (Solidarnosc) first, early in the 80s. Dunno why that is, perhaps it's related to religion as they are highly religious as well.
>>2749959Shit's fucked, man. Friend of mine fled from the country and keeps having to send basic stuff like plates, glass and metals there so his family and friends can use or sell it
>>2750264It is. Immigrants also deliberately get worse working conditions than natives in destination countries. There's a hungarian worker dude in the German thread who seems to work for only the worst porkies here.
>having to send basic stuffThat's unfortunate plus it creates economic/financial/political dependencies between his home country and the country he immigrated to.

>>2752604
>iran is imperialist
Yeah? And?
>>2751303>American communists always held that blacks constitute a distinct "nation" in the US context Eh, it's complicated. In the 1930s/1940s the CPUSA did, but dropped that line in the 1950s. There's a Maoist-influenced communist group called the FRSO that still holds to that position though. They were using's Stalin text that a nation is "historically developed community of people, with a common language,
a common territory, and a common economic life, all of which are manifest in a common culture."
Emphasis on "common territory," as it sort of looked like that at the time, but Great Migration was going on. That was a historical event when millions of blacks living in the south moved to northern industrial cities to pick up factory jobs (they were getting proletarianized as they were dispersing throughout the country). This was accelerated by the two world wars. Most of the black population of northern cities like Chicago, Detroit, New York City, Baltimore (etc.) and also to California is descended from people who left the south in the first half of the 20th century. The black population in the south shrunk in relative terms, and by the 1950s there was the Civil Rights Movement which went on a different trajectory since the goals of that were really integrative.
Anyhow, the FRSO were 1960s/1970s radicals and their basis for them holding to the old position will reference Stalin but I think that's a reflection of dogmatism. There are black separatists in the U.S. as well but they are irrelevant politically and tend to lean more on cultural distinctions but that is essentially regressive and produces reactoid sects and cults (see Black Hammer).
>>2751869I'd rather Ukrainians not get mobilized at all, so unless either the Ukrainians or the Russians institute a communist dictatorship and kill their oligarchy so that their government becomes purged of nationalists and stops wanting to provoke all their neighbors, and therefore becomes worthy of support, I'm fine with the status quo (living in Belarus and watching the two retarded nationalist sides fight it out).

The official welcoming ceremony of President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko and Chairman of State Affairs of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea Kim Jong-un took place in Pyongyang.
The venue for the colorful ceremony was Kim Il Sung Square, named after the founder of the DPRK and opened in 1954. This is the main square of the country and one of the symbols of Pyongyang. It can accommodate up to 100,000 people and is a venue for military parades, public holidays and other mass events.
The ceremonial meeting included the performance of the anthems of the two countries, which was accompanied by cannon volleys, and greetings from members of official delegations. Cavalry and a company of the honor guard were involved.
Then Alexander Lukashenko visited the Liberation Monument in Pyongyang. Kim Jong-un was present here with the Belarusian leader. The President of Belarus laid a wreath at the foot of the monument.
The Head of State paid tribute to the memory of the Soviet soldiers who died during the liberation of Korea from the Japanese invaders, and a minute of silence was declared. The anthems of Belarus and the DPRK were also performed here.
Alexander Lukashenko was given a short tour around the monument. "Liberation" is a monument dedicated to the soldiers of the Soviet Army who liberated Korea during the Second World War. It is a 30-meter tall statue topped with a red star. It was opened in August 1946 in Moranbong Park, a popular recreation area for local residents. There is a cemetery nearby where Soviet soldiers are buried.

>Two questions about the war:
>Are the past three months characterized by Russian regrouping following the successes of 2025, or bloodily failed Russian assaults?>Is it possible to speak of successful Ukrainian counter-attacks in the southern section of the frontline (Zaporizhzhie and Dnepropetrovsk oblasts)? After all, venerable Russia-watchers like Bill Browder and ‘clean energy investor’ Ramez Naam are sure that these counter-attacks have just about won the war.
>To the first question, probably both. As the weather improves, Russian assaults have been increasing after the winter lull. However, Ukrainian adaptations to the Russian infantry infiltration tactics developed over the course of 2025 mean that many of these assaults fail. Nevertheless, Russian drone and general air domination, combined with greater infantry resources, mean that 2026 will see more Russian advances. However, the maximum possible this year would be Russia taking the last cities of the Donbass, and getting within reliable artillery range of the major southern cities of Zaporizhzhie and possible Dnepropetrovsk. The independent factors will be the supply of western aid to Ukraine and Ukrainian manpower reserves.>As for the second question, yes, as long as one qualifies success. If, as most reasonable Ukrainian military analysts do, the aim was to slow down the (still ongoing) Russian offensive in the south, then yes, Ukrainian counterattacks achieved that goal. The size of the advances is several times smaller than Zelensky’s claims, but the Ukrainians have increased their presence in some contested areas, and pushed the area of contestation into some territories previously consolidated by the Russians. But all this has not been without losses for the advancing forces. And what exactly is the point of this ‘1-2 month delay’, in the long run?>Not that the long run is a question that’s ever worried anyone that much.
>Stalemate?>The western press put out an interview on March 22 with Robert Brovdi, commander of Ukraine’s unmanned systems forces (SBS). As usual, he boasts that his SBS is killing more Russians than ever, destroying more manpower than is recruited. Though I find it hard to take him seriously, Russian military telegrams tend to enjoy puffing up his image. In any case, one can at minimum state that the Russian army would do well to find better ways to overcome Ukrainian drone operators. >Russian military bloggers — from the ‘patriotic opposition’ that once supported Evgeny Prigozhin — give a very pessimistic picture, as always. As usual, one can make all sorts of hypotheses explaining this. Perhaps they are CIA agents trying to destabilize Russia, just as Russian senators now say Prigozhin was. Perhaps they are angry that the blocking of telegram will destroy their income. Maybe they are attacking the regular army as part of a psyop to encourage the renewed growth of Wagner-like private military organizations, or as part of some other elite conflict within the ‘towers of the Kremlin’.>Or perhaps — or rather, definitely — they are simply engaging in the old east Slavic tradition of soul-deadening pessimism.
>I will say that journalists like Aleksandr Kharchenko and Aleksey Sukonkin are quite measured, respected analysts. Let’s take a look at what they’re saying about the bloody semi-stalemate at the front.>Aleksandr Kharchenko, military correspondent for RIA Novosti, wrote about how the Ukrainians have adapted to Russian infiltration tactics on March 24:
>On the realities of the front
>Drones have definitively taken over the battlefield. In 2024, you could slip through on a motorcycle; in 2025, you could run along a tree line; now only the lucky ones reach their objective. Aerial surveillance is total. Movement between positions happens only in bad weather. Evacuation from the front line has practically stopped.>No, this isn’t another critical piece—these are reflections. The enemy’s situation isn’t any better. Our offensives are halted not by infantry, but by a line of drones. The front has become nearly deserted. “Mavic” recon drones far more often record the flight of a “Baba Yaga” bomber drone than the movements of enemy soldiers. Reaching cover and staying there for months has become a viable survival strategy.>Of course, we need a breakthrough on the front—but how can it be achieved? Even if we find another 400,000 volunteers, it won’t change the situation. You can send not one but three people into an assault, but that will only increase losses without producing a turning point.>The mechanized armies of the 20th century have lost their relevance, and the infantryman has reached the limits of human capability. As banal as it sounds, the smarter side will win.>If in 2022 the front had been held by this many enemy infantry, the Russian army would have reached Dnipropetrovsk in two days. Results like that will only be possible when “reusable armored vehicles” appear on the battlefield. For now, no armored unit can survive multiple drone strikes.>If every armored vehicle could shoot down a dozen drones, offensive operations would become viable again. Unfortunately, such machines are unlikely to appear in large numbers this year.>For now, the rule on the battlefield works flawlessly: whoever has drones that fly more accurately and more often has the advantage. But this applies only to the current stage of military technology. A breakthrough lies ahead.>If you asked me what should be done now, I would minimize attacks and infiltration attempts and direct all resources toward developing mass-produced active protection systems against drones. Infantry needs a new technological leap and new armored vehicles. Without these, we risk wasting lives without meaningful changes on the map.>—Alexander Kharchenko
> Military correspondent and novelist Alexey Sukonkin replied to the above on March 24:>Unfortunately, from my vantage point I see no changes in the approaches to planning and conducting offensive operations. Short-lived rank-and-file soldiers are still being burned through by long-serving commanders, as if they were a resource that can be quickly replenished, and as if the country has an endless supply of money to pay out death benefits. With the current approach, mobilization will not save the situation—it will only make it worse and ultimately lead to the country’s collapse, which is exactly what the enemy wants. What’s needed at the front are different kinds of decisions—not tactical or operational, but strategic ones. As is well known, no amount of tactics can compensate for a failure in strategy.>To understand these words, look at how the Persians solved the problem.>Then there will be no need to kill so many of one’s own soldiers against the soulless war machine called the “drone line.” The time of “large battalions” is gone for good. It’s a pity that those for whom war is nothing more than arrows on maps and sugary reports from obsequious subordinates refuse to understand this.
>In the “special military operation,” former head of the youth wing of the Rodina [a patriotic organization - EIU] party, Vladimir Laktyushin, has been killed—just 10 days after signing his contract. The death of the politician, who in 2015 created the “Tigers of Rodina” movement, was reported by war correspondent Alexey Zhivov:>“He went to serve and died just 10 days after signing the contract. At times I completely stop understanding what is happening with us. Why is there such a negligent attitude toward the lives of fighters? Besides the loss of healthy men, this also means huge costs for the state due to the loss of breadwinners, insurance payouts, and so on. If you don’t feel sorry for the people, you should at least feel sorry for the money! The budget isn’t limitless.”it does feel like the drone situation have turned the war in some variant of ww1 with drones replacing machine guns and artillery. And like ww1, to get a big break and an end to the slow grind of attrition (which russia would be sure to win eventually, but not without much more bleeding), there will have to be a significant collapse of one side economically (likely ukraine if the iran war fuck europe enough), and/or new weapons systems countering the dominant weapon (tanks and mechanized infantry in ww1, something that will counter drones now)
>>2753800that's exactly how yelsenites think.
he's a notable retard in that regard. he has deleted multiple times his opinions wen he gets his doodoos pushed back in, exposing how retarded his opinions on the USSR are.
>>2754714>Admits that Ukraine did successfully take back territory in the past few months>Admits that the wall of drones is bleeding Russian infantry to death and a tech breakthrough is needed>Admits that Russian commanders are totally retarded and have been trying for years to "solve" the drone problem with bikes and throwing soldiers into certain death hoping for the best>Admits that Ukraine can maintain the stalemate due to the sheer number of drones, also inplicitly admitting that forced mobilization videos of Ukrainians are useless cope propaganda since Russia is fighting NATO Skynet and not Ukrainian infantryI'm glad that there's finally a non retarded Russian analyst who agreed with me on everything I already knew 2+ years ago. Unfortunately he is still somewhat stupid because the obvious conclusion he refuses to reach is that regular tactics won't work and what is needed to win is simply indiscriminate nuking of Ukrainian cities so that drone operators and secret drone production facilities are rendered non-viable and the government instantly collapses from the humanitarian disaster.
>>2755047>also inplicitly admitting that forced mobilization videos of Ukrainians are useless cope propaganda since Russia is fighting NATO Skynet and not Ukrainian infantrySo why is Ukraine using forced mobilisation then? You’re focusing on the “propaganda” value of
videos taken by Ukrainians, rather than the reality they depict.

In a stagnated front if I have 100x the population that you have, on a long enough time frame obviously you're just going to run out of people.
Ukraines on a much shorter timer than Russia, they can hold the line and win here. The political war is going in Russias favor also with the Iran situation leading to sanctions being lifted, Russia is rich as fuck at the moment.

The frontline has been basically static for years now, it isnt working. The soviets won because they adapted and become essentially the strongest army in yurop if not the whole world while russia is throwing soldiers with horses on the front thinking it will surely work this time. Completely retarded. As long cucktin and his moles working for western glowies are in power that will not change. Solution: Nuke whole ukraine with salted bombs, make it unlivable, and stop giving a shit about taking territories, let the ukrops starve in their own filth. Thats what they are basically asking for anyway.
>>2755475>The frontline has been basically static for years nowThe unspoken assumption there is that doesn’t cost Ukraine anything, when the signs are that it’s costing them everything.
Also, we are basically already in the early stages of WW3. Yurops get more brazen each day by stealing tankers and sending basically their entire budget to ukropland, iran shitshow, tawain and south korea might be the next dominoes to fall. not to mention pakistan-afghanistan etc..
>>2755476>Ukraine anything, when the signs are that it’s costing them everything.Not enough. When you have still dudes alive in the ukrop army that brag about how much russians they kill each day its clear that they dont have enough losses. Only when the cowards are left you would know that you have done a good job.
>>2755483The cowards are the ones they send to the front, the nazis stay in bunkers in Belgium and Estonia and brag from there.

>>2755466Funny how Mauritius, a country with 600,000 slaves according to the BBC, voted Yes

>>2755638>contributing to a reparations fundBingo
>>2755649Patriots appear to be wank anyway and routinely fail to intercept anything. In Ukraine they had the excuse that the Patriot is so awesome that obviously it’s complex to use properly and Ukrainian operators aren’t trained as well as US operators are, but that excuse is gone when failing to intercept Iranian missiles.
>>2755497>Mauritania>MauritiusI know it may have been an accident but those countries are on the opposite sides of the continent
>>2755606>>2755638ranking crimes against humanity is a pretty bad move imo, then everyone gonna argue whether this crime or that crime is worse, or if we didnt do anything for the "the gravest crime" then the others dont deserve it either. When it should simply be a threshold that once passed require no ranking, its already the most heinous shit humanity can inflict and its perpetrators should be shot and all their wealth seized to repair the damage done.
but anyway its not like this will have any real effect so its all fine I guess
Libs are losing it because Yanis Varoufakis went on some British new media centre-left politics programme and started talking about how before the war NATO was expanding eastwards, Ukraine banned people from speaking Russian, and if western governments genuinely thought Putin was literally the new Hitler they'd send troops in to take Moscow.
>>2755860Link?
He's always said that btw lol. Libs suddenly getting touchy on the subject is interesting.
>>2755860>>2755865On the surface it’s waaaaahing about victim blaming, but the core of the issue is them having to accept they readily spent their integrity on denying, excusing and justifying the obvious Neo-Nazism in Ukraine on the belief Russia just HAD to be even worse, but are probably aware that sooner or later a deal is going to be struck with “Putler” which will rather suggest that he and Russia were not.
>>2755884Le heckin based poor Ukraine that has to use Nazis to defend against the consequences of banning Russian language and trying to squash separatism by force instead of by compromise, boohoohoo
ooga looga status nazissies?
>>2759489It’s already been known that the claim that Ukraine flies drones for thousands of KM over Russia with impunity was false. Drones have also previously crashed in Kazakhstan and tbh if Ukraine did have impunity then they wouldn’t have needed elaborate schemes for smuggling drones into Russia itself like Operation Spiderweb (if that’s what it was called, the attack with a lorry full of FPV drones targeting an airbase in the far north).
It’s interesting however that the rate of these drones falling out of the sky over NATO territory is increasing, I doubt Russian EW extends that far, so possibly a fall in the quality of the drones due to cost cutting, lack of advanced navigation/communication components, the last Oreshnik strike targeting an airbase suspected of constructing/maintaining them, fuel shortages?
>>2759499Assuming they want to pin it on Russia.
I don't think that's overly paranoid, they done it before and will (in all likelihood) do it again.
>>2759519>Assuming they want to pin it on Russia.Finnish authorities already said that at least one of the drones was Ukrainian. Did russian EW stray it in Finland? Maybe. Did Ukrainians fuck up targeting? possibly. Did Ukrainians send it on purpose for an false flag or some kind of message? Unlikely, but possible.
>>2759519I doubt it because
>>2759512 is the most common of Ukrainian drones and looks nothing like a Geran, we’ve also already been down this path of Ukrainian drones and missiles going way off course and crashing in NATO states, where they then opportunistically claim it was Russia and intentional, every time NATO denied that was the case.
The only reason why it’s even newsworthy is because it hasn’t been openly acknowledged that Ukraine has been given permission to fly military aircraft over NATO (and Kazakh) airspace.
>>2759534I don't mean this one specifically (I guess I wasn't even paying too much attention). But we also had incidents in estonia (power plant hit, just after the USrael war was getting hot with power grid fuckery, too) and some other shithole I forgot very recently.
That is why I'd guess more "come down". But then at some point most people will understand them to be crying wolf, so that tactic isn't very good either. Well, I dunno.
Or maybe Ukraine doesn’t have permission and they have to fly low to evade both Russian and NATO radar, it would certainly be in keeping with their entitled behaviour towards NATO in rightful confidence that the West is never going to pull the plug on them when continuing the conflict has a ever so slight chance of collapsing Russian society and unlocking Russian oil and gas reserves.
>>2759542bro… there is no ukraine, it's just cia
This is an interimperialist conflict.

Are the good guys or the bad guys winning?
>>2759761The bad guys (the military bourgeoisie)
>>2756638burn, baby burn. I guess zelya won't be sending AA drone specialists to the middle east any time soon.
>>2760913To be fair, Belarus allows Russia to use its airspace in the same way. In any case, I imagine vocalising about all the silent ways Ukraine is being supported is going to become more common since the “conventional” assistance of tanks, missiles, shells, etc are going to Israel and the Gulf states instead of Ukraine.
Also we shouldn’t assume it’s just the usage of airspace, but also quite possibly allowing Ukraine to launch drones from their territory. The chances of Russia targeting launch sites based in the Baltics and Finland are low, but understandably people in those countries might be concerned that they’re only a policy change away from being attacked. Thus “admitting” they allow only the use of their airspace is the half-truth that both explains why drones could even crash in very-recently-neutral Finland without revealing that the deal of NATO membership was putting themselves in the potential danger that they avoided for the entire Cold War.

True, I suppose. Technology is quickly advancing towards credibly replicating a person's online activity, itself a growing part of a person's social life and identity. Many hustles doing that.
However there is an opposite reaction to this. The tech will flow both ways with smaller actors being able to deploy bigger and bigger psyopps on "social" media, which renders it useless. Or at least, if the NPCs insist on eating from the trough like mindless consumers that they are, severely degrades the value of the user and their data. Now intermixed with fuck knows how much AI slop. An unsustainable proposition for social mediums, even if we put profits aside, because they are now fundamental to social and information control. X is forever, national security demands it.
There is tension on the opposite direction as more NATO governments implement restrictions on anonymity. Age validation, so far, seems like a scheme to arbitrarily deny service and massively enrich the data markets with personal information. That direction however, ends with the internet being gated behind digital government issued IDs. Useful NGL for doing bureaucratic stuff from home but I'd certainly wouldn't want my IRL identity associated with everything I post. The less anonymity the larger the chilling effect, if not out of fear, people are dumber than one might expect, from a more hermetic propaganda environment. Which can now much more reliably craft echochambers and skinnerboxes for real life people.
And this latter model is also a whole leg in the door for "public-private" partnerships, what are so popular nowadays regarding the data handling of states. So called "digital transition". It gets us closer to the time where it would be perfectly legal for all government data to be handled by Palantir or some such other tentacle of US intelligence… without being a britcuck.
I think they will go the latter route, but either way, I don't think an AI flooded "dead internet" is in the interests of anyone.

It fell on lake ice in eastern parts, near the Finnish-Russia Border (Parikkala). Area quarantined by police and a small evacuation is in place. Only thing they say is that the drone is much larger than a typical civilian drone and it's origin is described as "foreign".
Getting kinda SUS, ngl. That's three drones in three days. Zelensky apparently apologized about the previous two, said it was a mistake and that it would not happen again. Stubb said that Ukraine has the right to defend itself, but apparently condemned the drones and the threat they caused. Also in the end it's all Putin's fault anyway.
Zelensky claims Russia has issued Donbass ultimatum>”Ukraine has two months to withdraw, and then the war will end. And if Ukraine doesn’t leave, then Russia will capture Donbass and the terms will be different,” Zelensky said, paraphrasing Moscow’s alleged comments to Washington.https://swentr.site/russia/636856-zelensky-claims-receiving-ultimatum-from-russia/Are you all ready for the end of /ukr/ in two months?

Finland appears to be more of an landing ground for drones that stray because EW, malfunctioning or fuel shortage and Finnish airspace not really viable for use in strikes from Ukraine to st. petersburg. Balts however don't even have an airforce to do anything about it even if they wanted to. It's very likely that these drones fly through Estonia and the Baltics. There can be an incident brewing here.

>>2763062Cucktin had such great long term planning that 1 day into the war he had half of Russia's financial reserves frozen because he accidentally left them connected to SWIFT and still invested in Western financial markets, rather than simply buying gold and shipping it home like China did. Call a spade a spade. There is no long term planning here just impulsive gambling by a mediocrity. Putin is the more refined, Slavic version of Trump.
>>2763074That’s right spurdoanon, everyone is basically trump
You guys have become awkwardly silent lately. What gives? Has Ukraine collapsed already? Whatever happened to the massive upcoming offensives? Pokrovsk secured already?
Go on, help me understand the 9d strategy.
>>2763841Cucktin lost. Zizters on suicide watch
>>2762128Denied by Moscow, btw
>>2763841I've been busy between working, on the Iranian thread, and playing Stellar Blade.
>>2764013Unsurprising. On the one hand Banderites take pride in the supposed stalemate as proof that they’ve already defeated Russia, but on the other hand they have to deny there is a stalemate with these dumb performances where they cry betrayal from backers who want Ukraine to give up, but then claim victory over them by reasserting their commitment to bussing people to the front against their will indefinitely.
But it seems no one who is pro-Ukrainian notices the self-contradictions, they just intuitively understand that stalemate means Russia is on the ropes and soon to collapse, but also that it’s extremely important that Ukraine breaks the stalemate that was probably the US’s doing to support Russia.
>>2764361>B-but Putin!?Bad pitch considering Trump is currently throwing a hissy fit about Europe not participating (enough) in Iran.
>>2764430When the Epstein files were released Poland accused the FBI of concealing information and ordered an independent investigation into them…because they thought it didn't implicate Russia enough. Putin is God to butthurt beltoids.
cucktin actually delivered oil to cuba so i will stop cucktinposting for a while
>>2764485in the good spirit of putin's Christian mercy I promise to stop cucktin posting for one week.
>>2764485lol yeah, actually suprised at that
>>2764485>>2764576>>2765097now we need China to feel shamed by Cucktin actually doing something and help Cuba
>>2765098China already did send aid weeks ago

>>2765201>Picture of Ukrainian Nazis posted<I bet da Vaahtneeks posted this!Reddit eliminating anemia with this much irony.
>>2765398Philosophical question: Does ANY government of the country have the right to expend it's own unwilling population in name of the government's survival? Let's not assume we are talking of the shithole Ukraine here, for most here don't even see a reason to exist, but some ideal based country.
>>2765617What kind of threat, and how "by, from, and for the people" is the government?
>>2765617As long as all the politician that want it's survival are first in the frontline, I'm perfectly fine with it
>>2765624>>2763841Not checked out, there’s just little to discuss since the conflict is largely unchanging and whatever does change quickly becomes the norm anyway. Such is the attritional war. There’s no need (at least for the anti-NATO side) to force news and updates when there aren’t any. Most interaction in this thread is a couple of tryhards trying to make /ukr/ the anticampist general that died years ago.
>>2765620An external threat to the existence of the government.
Let's also say that the reason for war is more of conquest and not an war of extermination.
>>2765629Conquest? How old school.
>>2765629There’s few nations that would distinguish between conquest and extermination. Keeping the people alive but exhausting their land, developments (I.e homes and infrastructure) and resources is not extermination, but only by technicality.
To bring Ukraine back into this, if they’d succeeded with their 48-hour anti-terrorist operation in Eastern Ukraine, then any resources and MoP in that territory would be owned by the conquerors, they wished to erase any identity in Eastern Ukraine that isn’t that of Western Ukraine, for all intents and purposes Donestk would simply be another Lvov.
Even if there isn’t a massive landfill full of dead undesirables, you’d still come to notice that everyone who was there previously no longer seem to be.
Actually I suppose a better example is East Germany. It was alright for states like Poland, for whom their nationality was never under threat from the end of communism, whatever people liked or enjoyed about Poland during communist times simply becomes part of the Polish tradition. Not so for the DDR, Ostalgie stands as an aberration within modern German traditions. Its a part of German history that never existed as far as the modern German state and leadership are concerned. Modern Eastern Germans have to consciously and with effort recall that their former nationality even existed as it gets plastered over with “real” German nationalism.
>>2765635When it comes to conquests for most of history what it meant for average people after the initial bloodshed, was that there would be a new garrison in town and the people would be paying taxes to somebody else from now on. Most empires were this way.
This conquest v extermination, really boils down to if you agree that a nation needs a state of it's own to really be a nation. Like for some Ukies death of current state means the death of banderism and the death of the real Ukrainian nation. Without Ukrainian state and banderism they see that they are or end up just a bunch of Russians who speak russian kinda funny.
>>2765641There’s definitely a reason why people weren’t so dispassionate about colonialism/imperialism as just simply paying taxes to some other uncaring entity, from paying aristos to paying imperialists. I think a big part of why for so many places in the globe during the 20th century that Communism and Nationalism went hand-in-hand is because of the need to rediscover and redefine what being, say, Vietnamese is after so much time that was being overridden by just being part of the French empire.
People wanted both economic independence from their former or future conquerors (which communism covers) and to rid themselves of an identity imposed by external forces (which nationalism covers). The Ukrainians aren’t doing that, they feel entitled to economic dependency on both the EU and Russia and a minority group has inherited much larger borders than they ever had in modernity from a society they don’t recognise the authority of, thus the only chance to hold on to those gainz is to terraform everything within their recognised borders drawn by unrecognised authority into being “Ukrainian” and therefore, hopefully, squashing any other nationality that may seek independence or reintegration with their historical nations (not just Russia btw)
>>2765652Guy has clearly had some twists and turns in his story lmao, or perhaps that’s just one night on fentanyl. You wake up the next day in custody in Ukraine with a Russian eagle tattoo but signed up as a Merc in the Banderite military.
>>2765668>CONSOOMno i don't think i will
>>2765694Consoom? No it’s just the VPS is finally official now there’s a Vostok watch with its insignia on the dial.

>>2765814its funny nafotards use that line when putin didnt actually give a timetable while both the ukronazis and trump epstein fury did
>>2766031Natoids have been conditioned to think that a war past two weeks is a long war and therefore a failure. To them winners only fight short wars with blitzkrieg bombing campaigns, decapitation strikes of leadership and big arrow maneuvers. Just because US has had all the freedom to pick it's wars since forever, and nato doctrine and for profit military industrial base doesn't allow any longer wars, before they need a breather or a shift toward lower intensity warfare.
4,400 more days.
>>2765617>some ideal based countryyeah of course
The term "Menschenfänger" (translated from German as "man—catcher") is not an official name, but a contemptuous nickname that was popularly given to soldiers and policemen of Nazi Germany who were engaged in hunting people.
Transport.
Basic principle: The practice of disguise was widely used. Civilian vehicles and unmarked vehicles were often used to suddenly block the streets.
Composition: There were both standard passenger cars (including personal ones), trucks for transporting detainees, as well as specialized police vehicles.
Maneuverable passenger cars were used for fast raids, and trucks and buses were used for mass raids. Captured equipment (Beutefahrzeug) was also actively used, including French and Dutch cars and trucks.

>working classesThere is only one working class, THE workinr class. Retard
>>2767256>Communism is when you "help" the working classesBut that's socdemism
>>2767452Russia is stupid, unlike China. Whereas China is abolishing rural schools and forcing kids to live in cities, with ample supply of teachers and higher quality of education, Russia is still clinging to rural schools out of misplaced Soviet nostalgia when there were much, much more kids than there are today.
In this particular case, I suspect that this is a journo being dishonest in representation, it's probably actually Chinese-like solution being implemented - 10-11th grades educated in rural schools where there are 27 kids for all 11 grades is fucking stupid, it's just kids wasting time on their phones for 2 years
