THE
HELL
Yep. Also right before the ruble went to complete shit they had downgraded to less expensive Nigerian trolls. Now I don't even think they can afford those. Also the internet troubles they have had due to Anonymous have cut down of their personal social media presence.
As far as non violent things Ukrainians can do, a bag of sugar in the gas tank is a time honored way to stop an engine for good.

Apparently, people are trying to flee Russia right now as rumors of the actual war are starting to spread. Obviously even if the TV is not telling them anything, the effects of the sanctions are starting to hit, and there have been runs on banks with people trying to withdraw money. So the public in Russia definitely know the shit is hitting the fan even if the news in Russia is sanitized.
This is from people's social media who say they have friends in Russia however, so not a confirmed news source:
The fears are that during an upcoming Presidential Address, Putin will declare martial law and conscription. People are heading to the borders but finding that they can't get plane tickets and the border guards are confiscating and searching people's phones so they're deleting all the private messages on there before they get to the border (person's friend was apparently trying to get into Latvia).
Well, what about that "responsible leader" stuff now. Surely, Putin should "bend the knee" right about now rather than have his people suffer with international sanctions and blockades, right?
EDIT: came across news articles about it, EDIT^2, removed paywall

Comment section of RT is a cove of useful idiots ( (

I mean, when Sassoli (European Parlament President) has died the more gentle comment was "
Damn Pedophile" 'cause he was catholic (so "pedophile" takes over "communist" he literally didn't can be) and slender.

I noticed something, there are a lot of videos claiming it's black people being denied access to trains in Ukraine.
But all the videos only start AFTER the doors of the train are closed and the train is leaving, and the platform railworkers are keeping people back from the train.
So you see people who can't get on a train, because it's already closed it's doors and MOVING, but what you do NOT see is people being *selectively* let on a train, while others are excluded.
Why don't the videos start literally 1 minute earlier, and show which people got on the train? If they REALLY only let white people onto the trains, then surely *that video* would be the smoking gun
What they do not show you tells you as much as what they do show, and in this case I assume that seeing the people who actually got on the train wouldn't fit "the narrative" which is that there's racism in who can board trains.
So a bit of fridge logic suggests that these videos were deceptively edited.

I don't think "racism" can exist with GRAD missiles flying around.
