How quickly you get arrested in Moscow speaking into a video camera. Why they’re there is the question.

Off she goes.. How nmny is that arrested now. Was 10,000+ about a week back.

I saw a youtube video the other day of interviews of ordinary Russians about what's happening in Ukraine. Was an interesting watch. The elderly appear to go all in with this state driven 'neo nazi hunter!' idea as ludicrous as it is. With the younger people I feel like access to the wider world via the Internet (which will likely become more more North Korea and restricted over time i should think) feeds into their view. Lots of 'i don't know enough to comment / not my business / but it doesn't seem like a good idea' angles. People do seem cagey and worried about saying anything specifically negative or referring war, but then I don't supposed legally its something they can freely even acknowledge anyway.

Predictions of Ukraine's war from April 2021 by former Russian MP Nevzorov - [Link]

Can't see the end of his predictable happening quite as stated, but he certainly had a point with regard to the perception of the Russian military vs the reality of invasion. Plus he's right to highlight the dangers that Putin creates for himself at home in waging this war. Equivalently stated.. and darkly amusing.

If any British Special Forces were killed, no-one will know.

I disengage, I turn the page.

If Russia can't beat Ukraine, it would be national suicide to go into Poland or anywhere else. They're really being shown up for what they are. Equipment and logistics poor, morale poor, leadership poor. No strategy.
