Ukraine war brings the Russian Caucasus to its knees

Sanctions and military mobilisation are weighing heavily. In the 'Ciscaucasia', companies have lost up to 90% of their turnover. Income consumed by inflation. Income from the sale of energy re

Russian TV pundits fight over war footage: "You're working for Ukraine!"

A voiceover said the scenes depicted how Ukrainian fighters "dealt" with the residents of a Ukrainian city who were "caught cooperating with Russian troops."

Come on lads continue to tow the party line. No room for factual dissention.

Tip of the iceberg also

Yup. They know they’ve been beaten in the Kherson Oblast. So they’ll pull back over the Dnipro and then blow the dam at Nova Khakovka (and blame it in the Ukes of course). Then they’ll level Kherson. I’ve a bad feeling also that they’ll use chemical weapons there as well.

Mindless orcs.

Excuse my lack of knowledge, but is there any point or possibility where the UN could send in peace keepers? The Russians would surely not attack UN forces!

Russia have a veto for such matters.

Yes, I’ve lived in the US over 20 years and in any case it is a question on the citizenship test that I passed so I’m unlikely to forget it.

No I didn’t as I haven’t seen it, care to share?

So you follow a random nobody out of 535 members of congress on Twitter and say thats the "messaging" people are getting, but ignore the ranking republican on the actual House Foreign Affairs committee speaking out the same day, Michael McCaul? Sus.

He said supplies should be stepped up and “We’ve got to give them what they need. When we give them what they need, they win,” and has been pushing to give them the ATACMS that the Biden administration doesnt want to.

I suspect Putin will try and insulate Moscow as long as possible and bleed the other regions. What I think is really most likely to kick things off in Russia if the slow burn continues is far out regions deciding they have had enough and revolting, starting a domino effect.

Even if they didn't, the Russians would see it as a maskirovka for NATO directly taking a hand, and rightly so.

“Sus, do you think I’m a fan ?!! lol I guess you haven’t read any of my posts on the US general politics thread!

I don’t follow Gosar but just like MTG/Gaetz etc sometimes their posts come across my timeline and yes, I do think that is the messaging some segments of the GOP are getting fed regularly. Trump and Tucker Carlson are also pretty vocal against Ukraine aid and I see it at real risk depending on the results of the midterms. That is also messaging coming from Republicans themselves.

No more "blank check": Ukraine aid under threat in Republican-controlled House

Even House Republicans who have been outspoken about supporting Ukraine say there has been a noticeable shift.

Is it all empty posturing prior to the midterms? Could a combo of establishment GOP and remaining dems get some funding across? Probably but given GOP are promising huge swaths of cuts even potentially to things like Medicare and Social Security I don’t know what would be horse traded in negotiations. Anyhow we should probably take this to that above mentioned thread.

Social Security and Medicare eligibility changes, spending caps, and safety-net work requirements are among the top priorities for key House Republicans who want to use next year’s debt-limit deadline to extract concessions from Democrats. The four Republicans interested in serving as House Budget Committee chairman in the next Congress said in interviews that next year’s deadline to raise or suspend the debt ceiling is a point of leverage if their party can win control of the House in the November midterm elections.

Fake: Ukraine Committed Genocide Against Donbas Inhabitants

Russian President Vladimir Putin considers “saving the Donbas population from genocide” one of the main reasons for Russia’s full-scale war against Ukraine. Over the past two weeks Putin has spoken three times about the “14,000 civilian deaths in Donbas” that he believes “were exterminated by Ukrain

Exactly right as his main power base resides in the area. NATO knows this and apply maximum force in this area and other related areas.

Interestingly the new laws do impact Moscow regions, although not to same extent as the border/occupied ones. Going to be very interesting to see how aggressively they implement the controls (especially transport) and what citizen reaction is.
