Ukraine official count is 55k, obviously take with much salt.

Not to far off a official document was released a while ago asking for rubles and the calculations were like few hundred less than the Ukraine figures

Not seen G around this thread for a while. Maybe he’s busy signing up for the Russian Army after his words about people who supported Ukraine needing to go to the front lines?

Probably doesn't realise it's still going on, he thought Russia had won in May.

Lots of protests

Good to see

Although they were fine with the war when they weren't being enlisted

Could this finally be the thing that encourages them to get shot of Putin? This plus that Russian 'Celine Dion' shouting out about how crazy the war is... perhaps the message is starting to get through?

No they weren't.......there were over 10,000 arrests for anti-war protests in Russia back in early March......

Brave people.

Your mate seems to be a knob , he really thinks we will struggle this winter? He does realise that most country’s storages are full? I’m sure he will be begging into the west when he gets his legs blown off. But it would be better if he becomes fertiliser for grains

Even Putin admits GDP will be down 2%, world bank reckons nearer 12%. Several key Russian institutions stopped releasing official economic data during the early part of the war.

So were the initial Russian troops that were sent into Ukraine the actual professional soldiers?
I thought even then it was young inexperienced men/boys on the frontline and the "actual soldiers" were in reserve? But now there are talks of conscription

Also hasn't Russia been hinting at the use of Nuclear weapons since the very start?
Seems like it's the only threat Putin has up his sleeve at this point

They have. And then they brief quietly that Russian military doctrine only allows for a nuclear response to Russia being under existential threat or the command and control centres for the nukes being attacked.

Also, they’re very quiet about this right now, but China has a deal with Ukraine to step in if they’re nuked.

It means some people spent far too long online during lockdown.

Look back through his posts and they’re probably full of doom laden predictions about whatever the buzzwords of the moment are.

I mean aside from all the batshittery, how on Earth does an EMP “trigger” nanoparticles? Particles of what exactly? How will releasing a digital currency or a fingerprint reader scare people more than a nuke?

it doesn’t even make sense on its own terms. It’s just scary words jumbled together for internet clout.

Wow, I wasn't aware of that agreement. They really are backed into a corner if that's the case.
Surely China are their only actual ally who is capable of posing a threat to the West as well

China aren’t much of an ally since things started going south either.

The EMP from the false flag NATO nuke will trigger the nanoparticles in the vaccine?

This is definitely one of the less plausible but more entertaining conspiracy theories I've read in a while. I'd genuinely worry about anyone who did believe it, but there are probably some out there...

As a thought, if you're close enough to a nuclear explosion to be impacted by the EMP, then I suspect the nanoparticles that aren't actually in any vaccines would be the least of your worries.

If it isn't in a peer reviewed journal it's bullshit.

Youtube videos are not a source. If you couldn't submit something as a reference in an undergrad essay then discount it and if you don't understand what would be an acceptable reference then let other people do the thinking for you.

Yes they sent their best troops in first expecting to take Kyiv within days and a combination of bad/lack of planning and over confidence led them into a massacre.

Now they're resorting to calling up drunks and old men from deepest Siberia.

The economy has probably been propped up to some extent this year due to continued gas/oil purchases and prices going through the roof, however, revenues will start dwindling now they’ve turned the gas taps off and oil prices have dropped. Add to that sanctions that stop certain parts, tech etc being exported to Russia and they will definitely start feeling the pinch in the coming months

Sanctions were never a short term play apart from freezing reserves held abroad but agree, it will already be worse than Putins admitting

Just checked. Apparently in a speech Friedrich Merz leader of Germany's Christian Democratic Union party accidentally referred to the start of Russias latest invasion as September the 24th not February the 24th. Conspiracy theorists jumped on his fraudulent slip and added a conspiracy to it that seems to have grown and grown in complexity each time a new group of conspiracy theorists run with it.

Did these people grow up thinking that Ghostbusters was a documentary or something. How do you get to the point where you buy this horseshit?

My advice to Putin is to avoid staring out at the view for a while, unless he's in a bungalow.
