Russia turned off the gas to Germany recently, citing a maintenance issue, and no one knows whether the EU will cave and lift some sanctions or embrace energy austerity to stick it to Putin.
Thanks for this report. I'm sick of this war operation. Stopped asking my friends in Ukraine how they are (they're fine. In Germany, Spain etcor in the parts that never been hit) but obviously screech the loudest or talk to my family in Crimea... whose super pro-Russian pro-army memes about Natziki and how Putin is winning all round are kinda cringe. I really resent this literal brother war. This war is as "brother" as they come. It's so brother that I can't even. Everybody, you, Rolo; me, some rando on the internet is part Russian/part Ukrainian. Can you say polyanitsa? Fucking bastards. Is it the Jews that are behind all of this hatred?
New theory/proposition that I came across - Russians + Belorussians + Ukrainians are the same people and should be united into one Rus....a la how it was the Medieval Times. Everything past Volga should be sold off to China...cos there ain't enough people to populate that cos Russians kill more of their babies than are born.
I hope Ukraine is as deindustrialised as possible after this operation.
And hopefully Putin is trying an ecological experiment to cleanse Donbass off all that pollution and general industrial cancer that's plagued my country since 1930s Industrialisation Plans... I believe he's good for Russia.
Well Canada has allowed the repaired turbine to return to Germany and Germany is expected to send the turbine back to Russia. Europe desperately needs to replenish gas reserves.
The fine imposed on Google is very good news. Either Google pays and they take PR flak for it; or they do not and Russia may ban Google over refusal to abide by the law. I view it as a smart move.
Mercenaries are expendable and this one has been expended. If Ukraine, or the Jews running Ukraine, cared about them, they would create official military units staffed with mercenaries like the French Foreign Legion. It would oblige Russia and the Donbass Republics to treat them as official prisoners. It is only paperwork. But Zelensky and his henchmen cannot be bothered. That says a lot about them.
German plants can also work on coal, of which there is plenty near borders with Luxembourg and Czech.
With good peace of the Greens, of course, because there is a limit to insanity. Companies won't go broke, people won't freeze and starve just to appease the environmentalist lunatics.
The Greens are so retarded that they actually advocated for and succeeded in decommissioning Germany's nuclear plants which is funny because those are by far the most environmentally friendly. I'm convinced the Greens are just US puppets placed there so Germany buys LNG, so I think you're right that they will oppose the usage of non-American coal.
The reason the laws of war prohibit executing captured enemy combatants is entirely practical. If you know you'll be killed if you're captured, you're less likely to surrender and more likely to fight to the death. I suspect this is even more true for mercenaries.
On the other hand, making a few examples might make other mercenaries hesitate before joining the fight in the first place.
Robocop sounds badass, frankly. And yes, mercenaries were the norm in many periods, although they're infamously unreliable. See e.g. the Italian condottieri, who would agree to fight for one city, then during the war offer to switch sides for more money, then plunder the first city and help themselves to whatever remained of the treasury.
I would be more sympathetic if the merc had family there he was fighting for or something,but he came to foreign land to hurt people in a conflict he's not remotely connected to.Even the reddit brigade was primarily concerned with morality,twisted as it was.This dude was literally there for a paycheck.Fuck him.
P.S. do you know the youtube channel Leonardo of Biz by any chance?High quality memes.
> Perhaps its a pipe-dream, but I would really, really, really like to be able to have free speech on the Russian internet without having VK demanding we take down posts, refusing us advertisements, and shadow-banning our content.
Seems like you've got plenty of shitlibs entrenched in positions of power over there. Hopefully that will change as globalism falls apart. I suppose it will eventually change in the West too, but not before we collapse unfortunately.
I have noted since I first saw him how decidedly ambiguous - racially, ethnic, perhaps even sexually orientation-wise, that own nothing be happy guy is - the rulers just love doing that.
Rolo, do you have anything to say about Bill Browder's activities in Russia and how they were used by the American regime to try to get Germany to sanction Russia long before the Ukrainian imbroglio?
One question Rolo. I have recently learnt that there was a management change at Gazprom Media. The CEO stayed but 3 deputies were sacked and replaced a few weeks ago. More sackings have followed down the chain. Do you know whether this is part of turning the group more patriotic as a consequence of the war ? Or is it mere internal infighting ?

If so God Bless Putin. Slava Rusi.
Thanks for reading this.
I have the same situation in my family.
But I'm lucky because i have like-minded nationalists to chat with.
We should keep Altai though. I'll populate it Ghengis Khan style, don't worry.

What makes you believe the Greens are retarded rather than evil?
Well I should say Green voters are retarded. The politicians themselves are evil.

For long stretches of history mercenaries were the main fighting force at disposal. See, 30 years war.
The ban on mercenaries, is it to allow only nation states to wage war? Google or Unilever cannot draft conscripts.
Reality would be as it is in Robocop, if they could hire mercs.
Also, Gurkhas are mercenaries. The French foreign legion. I don't really understand this ban on mercs, if the reasons are merely puritan.

Not really, that Unz author clearly knows far more than me.
But it's very interesting that the regime was so intent for so long on finding any pretext to pit Germany against Russia.

I was hoping to get more info on this myself.
