that depends how long the war will drag on

if it actually ends within a few months from now, you will probably be right, the media will stop banging the war drums and the general public will lose interest in the anti russia frenzy. but if the war grinds to a stalemate then the anti russia sentiment will be kept up for longer.

I didnt actually expect them to start canceling long gone Russian composers. What is next, canceling the Soviet Union from WW2 history?

If Zelensky is dirty, which he probably is, there will absolutely be a trial.
A trial by Ukraine, no less, not by a Russian war tribunal. Just like Nürnberg.
They would absolutely try to put the entire fault on him and his government, and would try to show in his dealings how he was a puppet of the west, how he didn't care, etc, etc.
They don't want him to either become a martyr by killing or disappearing him, nor do they want him to become a pet to the EU and US, who gets to hang around Washington and Brussels, gets huge bookdeals, appears on CNN every week to drum up continuation of sanctions or military intervention, etc.

They will want to ruin the hero image that was constructed around him as best they can.

Barring interventions from other countries, this war straight up looks like it's over by June at the latest. I honestly see Kiev hoisting the Russian flag by the end of April at this rate.

The key is to completely blockade Kiev and then simply wait. Once people click that they'll have to start rationing out what they have and there's no way of knowing how long it has to last then you'll see how degenerate Slavs can be. They've already executed their neighbours for "looting", imagine what they'll do to those who they believe have a decent stash of food?

Once Kiev is surrounded there doesn't need to be another Russian bullet fired.

Can anyone translate? I don't want to just take a blue check nigger at their word on this even if it seems like something that was inevitable.

Yeah, this proposal surfaced a few days ago. The blue check mark is generally correct, although he omits several crucial details like 3-month grace period for the companies to resume their normal functioning.

Putin sez:

"We are not closing our doors to anyone. We are willing to work with all of our partners that seek cooperation, which is why the rights of those foreign investors and colleagues who stay in Russia and remain working in Russia must be securely protected. I ask the government to bear this in mind. Those who want to close their production lines - we must act decisively to prevent any and all damage to the local Russian suppliers of parts or materials. Just like the deputy minister offered, in such cases an outside management should be implemented and the company passed on to those who ARE willing to work. We have enough legal and market tools to prevent tyranny, we will find a legal solution to this issue".

while true, for me the bigger unknown is how effective this global 'cancelling' of russia will be and if it'll be good enough to make them tap out before that can happen (wether via a mass revolt and regime change of Putin or just him some fucking how giving up). that seems to be what the West is counting on right now, after all.

it seems obvious by now that morons like Bellingcat were completely idiotic in thinking they'd have to tap out this last Sunday lol...but idk how 'prepared' they actually are for this as a marathon. it's fairly obvious Putin wasn't exactly anticipating it and was hoping for a quick surrender, buuut...russia is a big country and if it had the will to roll with the losses of this war and become self-sustainable (with some strings attached to China), they deffo could do it. I guess it'll be interesting to find out in any case right now. if they actually survive it and achieve their objectives...then the western globohomo should be afraid. VERY afraid....

Not gonna be the best, but in general he says that Russia is not closing anything themselves and they're ready to work with anyone that's ready to work with them and he's asking the government to to ensure protective measures to companies, investors and partners still friendly with them. Those who are going to close down their operations in Russia must not be allowed to cause losses to their Russian suppliers and distributors, and their services must be given to those companies who still want to work within Russia. There are plenty of legal solutions, he says.
Better translations will probably come from actual Rooskies of the thread

Oh god, the response to these chain comments is just going to be a pain the ass, I'll just number them via your points, easier to follow and format, no slight intended on your response pal.

1: Yeah, Mariupol is getting the Grozny treatment at the moment, give this a look over: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2...tack-residential-maternity-childrens-hospital - that's before they've take the city, I imagine they're going to be doing more of the same, because lets be honest, it's likely going to work a charm, unlike their VDV deployment.

2; Can't pull a source out of the top of my head, but it's similar tactics to what they applied down in Syria, get the corridor going, shorten the time, block the exit, force the inside forces to try and help the outters get out, whilst at the same time, going gun-ho and attacking whilst everyone's focused on the buses leaving. - https://www.lbc.co.uk/news/russia-shell-attack-mariupol-ceasefire/ - LBC, tends to be more on the left of things politically, but their source for the claims are coming from the red cross, personally I'd take those guys at their word, but that's just me.

3: Syria perhaps is the most different in comparison, whereas Checenya is the little brother akin to this sort of invasion, only Russia is doing so much worse for some daft reason. You'd think being the second or third world power, they'd be stomping things down by now.

4: If not invade/breach the city, then at least encircling the bugger would be a sure sign of things going to plan, but instead, they've had a couple high rankers getting their brains blasted out on this front. Sure, again this could very well be down to their absolutely retarded idea to invade during mud season of all times, but still, they have a air force, they should be shelling the defenders along the columns roads if nothing else. Instead, they're losing ground and losing high ranked bodies.

5; Again, if nothing else, it's been one hell of a entertaining couple weeks. Reckon they're holding back their good lads, tanks and planes or do you see them continuing to slog it out with these twenty-plus year old relics they're fighting with?

This Putin holding back his best claim is unproven. Russia does claim (falsely as they admit) to be using only professionals and provincial militia (Kadyrovski) for the 'special operation.' This could every so slightly be a Finland moment in that the Russian bear is a bit scrawny and flea bitten. Their specialists (eg spetnaz or VDV) seem less effective than those who rolled the D Afghan government (although the Afghan Communists did not resist) and the VDV problems are a bit memed up. There seems to be a tentativeness to the Russian effort. Perhaps a landing is being prepared against Odessa, hence the semi hiatus, from what I can discover. Perhaps the peace efforts might yield all RU wants of UA.

I think RU will want to get back in business, so I too don't see radical acts toward foreign companies. Ford continued in wartime Germany, but I didn't foresee this war as the Odessa (?) Accord gave RU a de facto veto. Who really knows?

That really throws things for global chains because a decent amout of them are simply 'suspending services' in Russia while still paying staff (aka, we're coming back just the optics are terrible). Now they're being threatened from Russia's side too so it's not as simple as walking it back. I mean, they have 3 months to walk it back but that's a long way off my goal of things generally resuming from 2023 onwards, they'd have to take a major reputational hit if they want to keep their factories.

It's the best timeline because you get your major chains having to weigh up their decisions. I absolutely see a few chains waiting until 2 months and 30 days to ensure the maximum time between annoucing the continuation of their services.
