Blame Putin or the war lands you straight in prison or a labor camp, of course people don’t blame him.

That’s the good case.
Bad case (and IMHO more realistic here) is wing sent straight to the frontlinie instead, with a ticket for the front row of the next wave to assault Ukrainian lines.

Or you get to learn what defenestration means firsthand.

I’d hate to live somewhere with soaring food prices and no public opposition to war.

Yeah but see American food prices aren’t the governments fault and also are good for the economy but Putin manually goes into the system of each grocery in Ruzzzia and sets the prices of bread higher so it’s totally different

Instead of sending north Koreans to the front lines to be used as cannon fodder, maybe they should have sent them to the farms to grow food.
halcyoncmdr@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Can’t do that. Then the North Koreans would know what food actually looks like.

Welcome to the eventual mirror image in the USA upcoming next year.
Due to tariffs, groceries will go up but no one will blame Trump for any of the idiotic things he will do that will work towards ruining our economy.
Russian media manipulation was simply a proving ground before implementing it in the USA.

I will be complaining about it, and thanks to the first amendment Donny won’t be able to do shit about my gripes.

Ultimately, the goal of our sanctions is to make this a strategic failure for Russia. And let’s define a little bit of what that means.
Strategic success in the 21st century is not about a physical land grab of territory. That’s what Putin has done.
In this century, power – strategic power is increasingly measured and exercised by economic strength, by technological sophistication, and your story – who you are, what your values are, can you attract ideas and talent and goodwill. On each of those measures, this would be a failure for Russia.

I mean, western liberals were calling it Putin’s inflation. And yeah sure, war in Ukraine did contribute to it but the corporations also took advantage of their price setting power.
And in the Russian case it applies much better. If there were no sanctions, Russia would’ve been able to import more from the international markets. And there are also corps with price setting power there as well. Thank the American puppet Yeltsin for that.

It’s also odd the last speech that putin made looks AI generated.
I wonder if he already is hiding in a bunker.

What war? You mean the Special Military Operation?
Kidplayer_666@lemm.ee 5 months ago
Special military operation? The one that ended in three days and allowed thousands of young men to go into the newly liberated territories for vacation?
ICastFist@programming.dev 5 months ago
What newly liberated territories? The ones that always belonged to Russia and were mistakenly shown as being Ukrainian?
Doom@ttrpg.network 5 months ago
Thought that ended like 1000 days ago? Wasn’t that just a weekend operation?
