    Favre is a mentally retarded scumbag, his own worst enemy. Talk about destroying a great reputation, it’s already bad enough we know how small his dick is.

    Whatever passes for Expedia over there reports flights from Russia all sold out. People are fleeing, either conscription or whatever coming devastation.

    I hope the EU reconsiders banning Russian passports. There needs to be an institutional escape hatch.

    Like Sun Tzu said, you leave a cornered enemy a way out, they won't fight to the death.

    But like Subutai later said, if you intentionally leave a single path as the way out, you can execute a pincer move on the fleeing enemy, slaughtering them to a man.

    So at this point, what do y'all think the odds are of a new Russian revolution popping off soon?

    It looks like the choices are: Get sent off to the meat grinder in Ukraine and probably die, or:

    Revolt at home, probably die, but at least (hopefully) leave the country a better place.

    No better way to deal with a demographic death spiral than sending all the young men that should home knocking up Russia women to die in foreign land.

    Is this that “quiet quitting” we are hearing so much about lately?

    Maybe. I thought it was referring to how I sit around and play GTA when I’m on conference calls.

    There are protests currently in Moscow and St Petersburg. Maybe other locations as well but those I know for sure and have seen video.

    Revolution? No. Not yet at least. We will see how the government responds, and what people do in response to that.

    I saw a video on twitterof a bunch of T-62 tanks on flatcars ready to head to the front.

    Imagine being an 18 year old getting blown up in the same tank your grandfather drove during his military service.

    Edit: I saw another video of old dudes being mobilized that had the same energy of the men who wait outside the liquor stores here in Sweden waiting for them to open.

    My prediction is a lot of these mobilized troops aren’t going to head to Ukraine, and instead will starve the winter away placed along NATO borders to mimic a build up like we saw earlier this year to try and and force NATO to divert resources to monitoring them and perhaps send additional material just in case, limiting what can go to Ukraine.
