People who don't want to see $5/gal gas. I sure don't want to pay $5/gal.

Spoke to my friend who lives in Moscow. Everybody with money or sense is leaving. He said the sanctions are not harsh enough. Most of the country won't know the difference, they're already impoverished. The oil would actually hurt the Kremlin.
He also agrees that Putin won't stop with Ukraine. Putin is batshit crazy.
Putins not crazy. He’s doing exactly what he should be doing. Everyone knows Western Europe is a lapdog and NATO is all US military power.
And he knows the US wants no part of this. You boys can play the putin bad game but if you had any inkling of objectivity, you’d see that this is all pretty predictable.
The media is also playing you all like a fiddle, like they did with other recent events.
You ladies need an intervention. I can help you get through this.
don't make me post the word censorship again and trigger you
Hal you can come and stay in my attic until this all blows over. The wifi signal up there is only good enough to read Charles Jones blog comments as entertainment, but I think you'll be pretty safe up there given the thicc layer of lead and asbestos in the roof.
Petition to ban American IP addresses from posting in this thread

on a scale from dumb to Dooch this was a pretty stupid move : 'umma flee the country wiv my cannibis vapes on me'
because right now Russian customs is gonna be extra lenient towards foreigners - fail
Hal look at it this way, Russians chicks are way hotter than Belgian girls. You should be kissing Vlad’s ass. How ungrateful.
And that was a very racist interpretation of how that black American would talk. Putins trying to stop Naziism and you’re just full blow all about it. Sad.
I take that as a compliment from you.
Petition to have posts from American IP addresses in this thread to be tagged with “fake news” disclaimers
Putin saved you from Covid. If it wasn’t for him you’d be locked down again.
Show some respect. Sure, your sister will have to take a Russian man for a husband, but you even said she’s “insane”.
Hey I'll gladly ship her off to Russia.
Heartwarming to see that we are now involving people's families. You feeling confrontational and frustrated babes? lol
Doochski got banned from twatter
Twitter Reportedly Bans 100 'I Stand With Putin' Accounts For 'Inauthentic Behavior'
Twitter has banned at least 100 accounts promoting the hashtag “I Stand With Putin” for “inauthentic coordinated behavior,” indicating that the messages are a propaganda assault supporting Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, NBC News reported.
A spokesperson for Twitter told NBC Friday that an investigation is continuing into who is behind the accounts praising Russian President Vladimir Putin and his ruthless military operation, which violated Twitter’s policy against “platform manipulation and spam policy.”
The hashtag trended briefly on Twitter, but scores of accounts retweeting the messages had only had a few dozen followers, NBC noted. They also used stock photos for messages and profile pictures, which often indicates fake accounts.
The hashtag is still being used on Twitter, but much of the tweets are discussing banned accounts or attacking the pro-Putin sentiment.
The suspicious tweets were apparently first flagged by Marc Owen Jones, an assistant professor of Middle East studies and digital humanities at Hamad Bin Khalifa University in Qatar.
“They’re not bots. They’re a lot harder to check than that,” Jones told NBC. “Imagine a call center setup. Think of the amount of damage you can do.”
Jones shared his analysis of some 20,000 interactions linked to pro-Putin hashtags on his Twitter account earlier this week.
Thread 1/ This is a thread on pro-Russian propaganda & #disinformation. I analysed the hashtags "i stand with Putin" & "i stand with Russia'. I analysed around 20,000 Twitter interactions involving 9600 unique accounts

3/ Below. You can see three distinct clusters.
Cluster 1 (left) accounts that seem to support the hashtag (pro Putin and Russia)
Cluster 2 (middle) = accounts criticising the hashtag
Cluster 3 (bottom) = accounts and bots spamming hashtag and thus boosting it#UkraineRussianWarpic.twitter.com/VmiUskSkCH

Twitter, Facebook, Youtube and Reddit have restricted Russian state media access on their platforms since Putin launched the Ukrainian invasion.

Oh I'm okay with you getting e-motional, RT. Get it out of your system bro. You can project all you want for therapeutic purposes. Teaching your little girls Russian while riding that covid train must be a hell of a job. Now there's a good Soviet. Tchoo tchoo toochski.
I can tell English is your second language. Soon to be third.
Azov Batallion? for 'not caring' about this war you seem to know an awful lot about it. may I suggest that, in addition to keeping 12 tabs open on your RoverBook 5e that supply you with a steady stream of official Russian state media 'info', you use Spell Check Premiere Pro when posting on the Corp to help you with some of the more difficult words you try to use. 'Ukraine' etc. There are many programs available that will help you battle your early onset dementia. the mods will happily chip in if finances are an issue in the Doochski household
in fact I was just going to start a gofundme for you but it looks like your fam beat me to it

looks like you passed away in 2019 already, David. that sounds about right, looking at your current posting style. pretty dead
'Died from a rare genetic condition at age 38'. yes, everything is starting to make sense now.
good to see your Italo fam tried to pay for an open casket funeral. $1,750 out of $3,000 is nothing to sneeze at, David. since you've been rotting for a good 3 years now I'll throw in the missing $1,250 - but we'd better close the casket on the second go at the funeral
R.I.P.
back on topic :

we're gonna see more of this in plenty of EU member states for sure
Putin is goofy. Russia has a small population, half of which aren't interested in the war, and now they're going to get cut out of the global economy.
Unless China decides to back them, its not going to end well for Russia. Of course we have to worry about what happens before it gets to that point, because it'll be bad for everyone else too.
https://www.consilium.europa.eu/en/eu-russia-relations-facts-and-figures/#:~:text=indicators%20between%20countries.-,GROSS%20DOMESTIC%20PRODUCT%20(GDP),Russia's%20is% 20%E2%82%AC1.39%20trillion.
Looking at GDP , I would think the EU would be able up it's defense to match Russia easily.
Putin had MAHNEY to keep Russia's mid-sized economy going through war and a boycot for at least a year, maybe two, but now that his and the oligarchs' assets abroad are being frozen who knows if he'll make it that long and stay in power
lol are any non Russian companies still even active in Russia? then there's Visa, Mastercard and American Express that don't allow payments in Russia / by Russians / to Russians anymore
it looks like, at the current rate of international Russia canceling, all Putin's gonna be sitting on is a big ass bunch of gold bars. by definition, if he has to flood the market with them to keep things afloat, they'll be worth aluminum
oh yeah he's got crypto too. good luck with that
Was it Venezuela that tried to sell off gold and got the proverbial chump change for it?
of course he can cut off the EU's gas and oil supplies to fuck up our economy in turn - but that's not gonna help him financially
let's face it, Putin thought a Crimea style weekend war was gonna get him Ukraine and a popularity boost at home. now it's a clusterfuck for everyone involved. thanks Vlad
this war is gonna drag on now for ages and Putin's uniting NATO further day by day. he might say 'our special military operation is going as planned' but eh I don't think so. sucks that this delusion of grandeur fraud has his finger on the red button
