Well given Zelensky is an actor, this kind of makes sense.

Stunning and brave. I can’t wait to be lectured again.

As someone who lived in Ukraine, Russia is doing them a favor by annexing them.

 

[No Batty Boys in Jamaica]

It would be hilarious nonetheless, it would finally to a nail in the coffin to Russia still claiming it's a superpower (no having a boat load of nukes doesn't make a nation a superpower, nobody dares use nukes, so they're only useful as a deterrent to prevent nations using military action against them, nukes can't be used to spread your nations interests to the other side of the globe like a massive navy and airforce can, and are worth jackshit in terms of making a nation an economic superpower, in fact they're expensive as fuck to maintain.)

Russia can't invade fucking Ukraine and yet the Dems say they got Trump elected using Facebook and 4chan trolls lol. It's a cope because Hillary Clinton is just that un-electable.

I take it that the new Netflix series on Putin will not be promoted or part of the nominees at the oscars then.

 

[Burgerasssand]

explain to me why the Russians even need Kiev? Isn't all the food and mines and shit in the east? Is all the media solely focusing on the cities just Russian 4d chess?

 

[Titos]

In terms of the economy how is Russia doing right now? Any movement on that front?
I assume the Ruble is still largely worthless? Hey, that's how inflation works. What did Putin think would happen when he turns his neighboring country into nothing but Ruble?

Yeah the Chinese have less nukes than France or the UK

They’ve been working on this super cool flulike virus superweapon tho

It's the capital city. Losing your capital is a massive blow to morale and organizational structure. Yeah you can just move the government, but that's more chaos, and you don't wanna have any more of that than you have to in a war.

Aaaay.
You know what's good about having toilet paper for national currency?
It can only go up

 

[Grand Wizard Wakka]

toilet paper for national currency

When China releases its next bioweapon, it'll become more valuable than the dollar again.

 

[Borscht]

Aaaay.

Rouble regained about 10% of its value after Putin proclaimed he will no longer sell gas for American dollars. God only knows if his plan will actually work, but the sight of European leaders running in circles crying "nooo you cannot do this, it would BYPASS SANCTIONS and BREAK THE CONTRACT" was hilarious. Apparently refusing to pay for the gas does not break the contract, so Russia was supposed to keep pumping it for free until they saw fit to unfreeze Russian bank accounts some time twenty years in the future, if then.

The Oscars are going to be partly hosted by Amy Schumer, a relative of Chuck Schumer who is a high ranking Democrat. This kind of third world nepotism look makes America look like a total joke. The connection and control between the cultural institutions and political institutions is total. They may as well just rebrand the Oscars as the Democratic National Convention. He better start off his address with something like "Dear millionaire pedophiles, imagine if getting young women to suck your cock for favors was made impossible because the women left the country".

TBF, COVID was possibly the greatest bioweapon ever invented precisely because it didn't do any real damage, but caused the US to fuck itself anyways.

It's currently being propped up by sanctions not yet hitting full force, countries still trying t find alternatives to Russian oil and gas, and Putin's demands to pay for gas and oil in Rubles.

So basically it's on a stack of cards that is currently barely being held from total collapse.

Is the center of government, where in most countries the wealth is accumulated and distributed, where nationals banks are in and where people of power reside.

You can still hold power in surrounding provinces or municipalities (or for you westerners counties and states), but more than likely when the capital of a nation is taken it soons follows the rest of the country.

Now, this is my take, but Putin doesn't actually want to take Kiev. He could have already bombed it and placed troops. He is faking himself a gimp in order to control north and south of Ukraine, ergo controlling border in North and resources in South, and creating disaray in Ukraine government (Who is as corrupt as venezuelan govt) and instituting a puppet president.

I believe that's Putin plan. Plus is a power move agaisnt the UN and European Nations.

Which oil, crude or sunflower?
Seriously though seeing retards panic over sunflower oil is pretty funny. You shouldn't be eating that shit anyways, seed oils are bad for you.

Eh, seems like a plan B to me. Seems to be an okay plan B considering their overall current progress assuming Ukraine fails in their offense.

It will work in the short term, but the Euro's will dig in and not renew Russian contracts. The contracts were in Euros, not dollars btw. They will find new sources and make hard choices. Even the German Greenfags put nuclear back on the table, so this move will likely make that previously impossible move possible. Spite is a powerful weapon after all.

Due to a contract dispute, I am leaking this frame from the Netflix Original that I am still looking forward to starring in. I want an Oscar to complement my Nobel.

My friend Alex has agreed to play Zelensky. He has made a full recovery from his wounds in an accident suffered on the second day of the invasion.

Ramon Films will be producing it.

His performance in his ongoing biopic series Downfall II has been brilliant so far and I'm going to call bullshit if he doesn't get an Oscar for that.
