    It shows for me, but it's a gif of Viktor Krum from Harry Potter.

    Anyone else getting slightly more alarmed at an unhinged Putin doing something nuclear?

    Yup. But it might also be a tactic to get the EU members to blink. I hope.

    Ah, there it is. I’m a muggle so maybe I was under the influence of some sort of charm.

    Yup. A 70+ year old nut case with no regard for human life, will be dead soon any way you look at it, and sitting on a huge nuclear and chemical weapon stockpile. Probably the most dangerous combination of circumstances in world history.

    This is how I felt every day under trump. I’m completely shocked he didn’t start a war just for funsies. Though I’m sure he wanted to and was held back by his handlers

    Not to nitpick, but for those curious, Putin is 69. The current average male life expectancy for Russian males is 71.

    I wrote my Congresspersonx to ban all jokes that sound like they came from Yakov Smirnoff. Am I xenophobic?

    I think it’s only a matter of time before there’s a coup or an outright revolution in Russia. There was a run on the banks over the weekend. They’re cut off from international markets and they will run out of places to sell their oil and gas. The Russian war chest is dwindling quickly. A few days ago Putin threatened to seize all Russian citizen deposits to fund the war and pay his soldiers. Besides the fact that the ruble dropped 30% over the weekend and is now worth around $0.01 USD, that might push the Russian people over the edge if it actually happens (if it hasn’t already).

    Not to mention the absolute bad faith negotiations happening in Belarus right now. Civilians are being indiscriminately shelled by unguided weapons during the actual negotiation.

    Yeah, I’m guessing Ukraine may be willing to give up Donbas if they are allowed to join the EU. It’s basically an economically depressed, shit stretch of land, the inhabitants of which would rather be part of Russia anyway.

    I wonder how they would feel about that in Donbas. Right now, Ukrainian currency is more valuable than Russian. If Ukraine goes to the euro after this, and Donbas gets the ruble…

    I'm doing my part by only looking at Ukrainian women on the Kindgirls website.

    Also onlyfans has blocked Russian accounts, which I expect is the main source of income for much of the women there. Pornhub has blocked Russia too. Old news I know, but still funny.

    This is awesome... the "Russian Warship, go fuck yourself" soldiers are alive!

    https://www.joe.co.uk/news/snake-island-sailors-319998

    They will probably never have to buy another beer in their lifetime.

    The only shitty part is they were taken prisoner by the Russians.
