Russia - threadbanned users in OP

100% : loyalty is expected to the state and the motherland, your fellow citizens are irrelevant.

Classic authoritarian dictatorship stuff. You're a mere cog in the wheel, all that matters is the survival of the state. More at the Nazi Germany 1933-39 / North Korea end of the scale and far from 'western' values. It's not really a 'community' or a 'society' at all - hence the TV propaganda from Solovyov and chums sounding so downright weird and crazy to our ears.

Its a throwback to the communist times as well, when good communist citizens were not only allowed to spy on each other, but were actively encouraged to do so, and report any infringement's of the law. ( any anti-communist talk) I always remember a Russian colleague at the annual party, where he had drank too much, begging me not to report him. We had a few drinks together to convince him that I was not going to report him. Or the Babushka's in the hotel corridors sitting down at their little desks on each landing noting who came and went, and the time. Or the individual dressed in ordinary clothes who would appear in any restaurant you were in and randomly select a few customers and ask them for their documents. And woe betide you if you did not have them. At no time did I ever see any of these "Gentlemen" show any identification or even announce themselves. Neither did anyone raise any question's. It was ( and still is) something instilled from babyhood.

Reminds me of the end trailers from Cry Freedom

I think the common denominator must be Windows and the Blue Screen Of Death.

The GRU found a list.🤣

Which face it is not beyond science fiction in Russia.

Especially so with a regime obsessed with history and repeating the past in the present with zero regard for modern values. Killing off the modernists....AGAIN.

Russian Army Shelled The Maternity Ward Of The Hospital In Kherson

I just saw somewhere the the Azov battalion ( or a part of it ) are being deployed to Bahkmut ,

Could they be sent there to draw in the Russians , keep them supplying that front ,

Instead of Russia using it as a meat grinder, the Ukrainians are grinding down the Russians , or at the least using the region as a distraction..

I appreciate your post but that photo look like is is a house.

In my opinion a link to jpost is like a link to RT TV. I won't click on it. They as bad as each other.

No way of verifying what damage or casualties but its a second strike points to the dysfunction in their armed forces seen elsewhere

Take out putin lavrov Medvedev prigozhin kadyrov all evil sadistic badmen problem is Russians would be left like headless chickens

Why the west appeasement of these people was allowed secret services must have been severely frustrated.

US has quietly upgraded its b61-12 gravity nukes in europe this month that's called walking the talk

Doesn't inspire confidence in the Indian police...

A Russian tycoon, Patel Antov, has died in a fall from an Indian hotel window. Last Friday another member of his group died at the hotel, apparently of a heart attack. Recently Mr Antov criticised Putin’s war in Ukraine. The Indian police say there are no suspicious circumstances

Someone on Twitter was either too lazy to find a picture of a distraught Ukrainian child online, or they were sent it by someone else and didn't fact check it. People post pictures and content without fact-checking it all the time, for example this happens daily here on Boards.

What point are you trying to make here exactly? Are you suggesting that no children have been killed or injured in this?
