For those who have lost track of Snowden, this was him in February, just before the full-scale invasion. Since then he has been absolutely mum about Ukraine and now accepts a Russian passport (though his lawyer says he's not required to serve since he doesn't have Russian military experience). LOL.

If there's an invasion tomorrow, dunk on me because I have been spectacularly wrong.

But remember, too that the source of my skepticism is that the US IC has (again) been making truly spectacular claims without presenting any evidence -- because you did not require it of them.

The state will never be better than we require it to be.


I guess he thinks the Russian state has produced adequate justification for this war because we never hear him criticize it?

Russian troops have arrived at the Verkhny Lars checkpoint on the border with Georgia, where thousands of Russians are piling up trying to leave the country. Eyewitnesses say they are setting up a roadblock

The FSB (to which the border guards in Russia report) confirms that an APC has been sent to the border, but only "as a reserve in case the reservists try to breach the border and leave the country by using force".

Another visual confirmation of Russian troops arriving at Upper Lars checkpoint with BTR.

According to reports, they are erecting a roadblock to prevent men between the ages of 18 and 55 from crossing the border.

Apparently there is just 1 BTR-82 so far.

He starts to but for some reason he loses his motivation after glancing out his 7th floor window.

They'll have their hands full. It's been a mess on the Georgian border in the last couple of days.

That pic is about 99% men between 18 and 55.

Throw in Julian Assange. He is nothing more than typical Russian propagandist. When Wikileaks first had big news, it was all half truths. A European biz friend was implicated to be in cahoots with Qaddafi with several GOP operatives. / While they were seeking to allow a lobbying office to open in DC, what was painted was all half truths. Wikileaks started out trying to take down GOP side. It switched sides later which is typical Russian operation to create chaos.

Now that Drobysheve is firmly in Ukrainian control, I'm reading reports of fighting in the streets of Lyman.



Saw that also reading rumor (**unconfirmed**) that a chunk of he russian line north of Lyman has collapsed and there is a Ukrainian break through. Hopefully reports are accurate.

The Russian population collapse is going to be catastrophic. Putin tried to lessen it by capturing former Soviet states such as Ukraine and supplementing the population via subjugation but that plan has backfired spectacularly and has only hastened the Russian decline. My prediction is after this last gasp the Russian Federation will fall apart in 20 years and it will be ugly. I think China will face a similar collapse later on. They have communism to thank.

And when one/both of those collapse, I wonder what happens then, does European or American colonialism make a comeback?

After all, why sit idly by while waiting for some new (and likely hostile) power to use all of those vast resources against you? Next century or so is gonna get interesting

Extremely hard to lose.

EDIT: I don't even believe there is a way if you were born in the U.S.

1970's It has no bearing on some fool who supports the KGB regardless of military service.

Which, is fair. I have not a clue how any of that works, but ultimately, I would say I agree with that being a positive, in general.
