There’s more chance of Putin being elected Pope than that archaeologist being released in five and a half years time.
My money is on a ‘heart attack’ by 2028 or a sentence extension of 100 years for smiling at the camera. |  | |  |

Interesting comment on Russia’s recent realignment statement. I’ve chosen the DW (German) article as it’s not the British media commenting, though they say the same thing.

It’s interesting because Russia is looking to realign the world, based on its broadly totalitarian values. Values that say if you voice objection to an action by your leader, you’ll face years in jail, probably worse. Values that say rape, murder, theft, destruction is absolutely fine because the victims deserve it.
As junior partner to China, the growing Russian federation (empire) is looking to boost itself by expanding its sphere of influence. There are plenty of states that are dictatorships or wannabes that will naturally gravitate to it.
There are many people in the west and on here he share Putin’s view of the world, don’t see places like Ukraine as countries and believe that because these people have no right of self determination (are nothing) peace and world order on Putin/China lines is not a problem.
It is for me. Western countries need to make their mind up. More to the point India needs to make its mind up, though Putin’s statement suggests it already has. How that plays out is anyone’s guess given their relationship with China. | | | |

Looks to me like the latest phase of the ongoing resource wars. A war which Western Europe will likely lose, not helped by the fact that we have off shored our commodity production and manufacturing base in order to feel misplaced moral superiority regarding carbon emissions. |  |

It is remarkable that people are prepared to speak out. Brave people to be applauded.
We should also be grateful for our political system. Much as there is a lot to rightly criticise our current Government for, it is not even a pale shadow of this. |  |

"Efforts to pull down the blinds, ramp up repressive institutions and do away with civil rights have been going on in Russia since 2000. Barring a few exceptions, this has caused no major protests. People either didn't care or even condoned the trend." is potentially close to home with the legislation that has been passed in this country too.
As I said above, we can be thankful we are far better off than Russia; however, we should also never take our freedoms for granted either. | |

On a lighter note, Ukrainian armed forces are struggling to deal with an elite military force that is infiltrating their trenches.....a beaver!

Perhaps they should train it to help out? | |

Interesting article on BBC about the 12 year old girl that drew an anti war picture at school.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-65015289
She’s been put into a children’s home, her father arrested and facing jail probably for a long time. Appalling. Incredible in the 21sr century in Europe we have an essentially imperial war and a dictator of the worst kind where a child’s picture can become a crime.
Basically, it’s one people, one view, no opposition tolerated. It reminds me very much of Hitler’s Germany. If enforced correctly it works too. The Nazis got it perfected in that neighbours would inform on each other, children on their parents etc. total control. it was so effective that Hitler enjoyed massive support until the day he died. Any excesses were greeted with comments like ‘if the Fuhrer knew’.
It was as if people were conditioned to accept complete control, shepherd and his flock, right to the point of sending the Berlin Home Guard (Volkssturm) out to their pointless deaths with a salute and a Panzerfaust in 1945.
I can only see this getting worse for the Russian people and see no real end to it. Bottling Russia up and waiting for it to implode as the USSR is the best hope, though given it is a country rich 8n resources others want, I can’t see that happening any time soon. Killing Putin might help. | | | |

Interesting article on BBC on Russian losses. No wonder the bloke featured in the article legged it. The official Russian figures are the truth as most Russians will see it. They are not reality, but from Putin’s perspective who cares?
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-65213426
Getting the right message across is everything and it can work both ways. Following the Dresden raids in 1945, that master of propaganda Joseph Goebbels took the estimated deaths figure and slapped a zero on the end. Repeated enough, it became fact over the decades repeated in history books and forming part of the narrative of a claimed ‘war crime’.
For Putin, as long as he and his lunatics bluff it out, the majority Russian people, or at least the ones that matter, will never know. The potato heads from the far corners of the empire? Unimportant fodder. | | | |
