Even when artillery shells knock on top of your bunker shilling for solar panel and wind turbine manufacturers is what REALLY matters

 

[Tom Nook's Gloryhole]

The UK literally did a Live Aid type concert for Ukraine tonight and I'm speechless at the audacity of it all.

Is there a list of every company and entity that cancelled Rossiya?

So far, I found this:

• Google has stopped licensing Russian Android smartphones. This means that Russian companies cannot produce Android smartphones from Android to GMS (services from Google) for the Russian market.

• Juniper Networks has suspended all sales, product delivery and customer support services in Russia and Belarus pending notice. Will continue to support clients and partners in Ukraine (except Donetsk, Luhansk regions and Crimea).

• Fujitsu has confirmed that it has stopped its orders in Russia for both goods and services. Fujitsu Limited is a large Japanese corporation, electronics manufacturer and IT company.

• Veeam (American software developer) has suspended all sales in Russia.

• VyOS (Spanish software developer) refused to cooperate with Russian organizations.

• From April 2, Bloomberg will turn off access to its terminals for Russian customers - a computer system that provides financial market participants with real-time information, news and analytics.

Disconnection from the terminal will hurt the activities of company executives. It is a huge repository of all possible data and market tools - figures, external analytics, comments.

• Semiconductor manufacturer Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) stops supplying chips, which could stop the production and implementation of technology on Russian processors.

• IT consulting company Accenture ceases to operate in Russia.

• SEO-platform Serpstat blocked Russian accounts without refunds.

• Electronic Arts (The Sims, FIFA, etc.) has suspended sales of games in Russia.

• Niantic (AR-game Pokémon GO and others) partially withdrew from Russia.

• Apple Music. Subscriptions can only be paid with a mobile phone bill. However, this possibility will probably not happen soon.

• EDeezer. Subscribers of the service received a message about the termination of work in Russia "due to current economic sanctions."

• Discogs. The world's largest online market for vinyl and CD sales works with PayPal, currently unavailable in Russia - Russians will no longer be able to buy and sell music on the site.

That's his way of saying "start collecting firewood, euros."

Joke's on them, wood was also being exported from Russia and Ukraine. And yes, it includes wood pellets for eco-friendly pellet heating boilers. Next winter is going to be fun.

Update: The statement of General Shamanov about the alleged capture of the Nazi "Chile" near Kharkov does not correspond to reality. He is quite alive and well in Kharkov.

So Russia ain't got no Chile huh

So wood will also be need to paid in rubles.

Day 6: A smiling American gentleman shows up at your door. He says that his name is John Smith (or was it Smith John?) and ...said something about setting up a biolab in your shed, but you said your moonshine still will get in the way, so can discuss that later.

Day 8: Russian cruise missiles wipe everything off the map.

The end.

They don't need to build a new lab. The Soviet government kindly already put one there, there just asking to stay there since they don't have their own apartment. You hand them the keys- the place is mostly empty of people and full of junk you don't understand anyway, from your grandparents' era.

The cruise missiles? Yeah. Sad for these podunk regions, sad but true.

Maybe they can eat beans and fart under a blanket to stay warm. Тогда Европа точно войдет в новый мировой порядок с треском...

At least they don't import beans from Russia.

I think we can all join together and laugh at the freezing Germans. I know I will be at least.

Sauce?

I'm struggling a bit since it's a thing from two years ago.

Right now I'm finding stuff about Presidents representative Peskov verbally debunking that, but there were plenty investigations about Putin's whereabouts and that he is indeed very paranoid about coof. That or current bunker reports.
Remember that long ass table when he was meeting with certain yuro representatives? Kinda the same thing.
And here's the meme:

What exactly has the West offered Ukraine and Georgia? And how did it work out?

money of course, worked well enough to make them want to break with russia and align with burgermerica instead
same approach as the baltic states, but russias grip on ukraine/georgia is a lot tighter than it was on the baltics, hence the disastrous results

applying the same playbook to the autonomous minority regions inside russia is a whole different situation though. moscow is very good at suppressing separatist and nationalist movements, because they know damn well that such movements turning into breakaway states would be a big vulnerability that foreign enemies (america) could exploit to break apart russian territory.
so, unless the russian state collapses as hard as it did in 1917, i don't think funding minority dissidents inside russia is a viable attack vector for america.

For what though? They've been living under the aegis of the Russian people for 3 centuries and even after the cold War and the color revolutions, we still see no sign of any separatism.

we saw violent separatism flare up just 20 years ago, that's what the chechen wars were about. if the separatists had succeeded, the chechen republic of ichkeria would be a sovereign nation instead of an autonomous subject of russia.

This hits some results, although there's some Biden mixed in as well (lol)

Yeah, I thought that the table was more about his ego going to his head Erdogan style but now that you mention it this makes a bit more sense.

I know I saw pictures of him in like hazmat suites when visiting folks during the coof.


Still, most of his videos nowdays have been from an office that at least resembles his Kremlin one, no? Obviously he could have two.

From a pro-Russia account so take it as you want:

Dmytro Yarosh is an Ukrainian activist, politicion. Yarosh calls himself a follower of Bandera and likes to parade in boy scouts uniforms.

I’m just trying to imagine what Zelenskyy being Saddam’d on Facebook, Twitch, and YouTube live would be like. The last photo/video of him alive just becomes a meme.

I mean the man built a palace for himself for all we know the bunker inside could look just as fancy as the Kremlin

Resident Russians will also confirm my words most likely.
Thing to look out for whenever you see Putin's cabinet is lack of real windows. No daylight ever goes through the curtains.

Indeed I was thinking about that.

But do you think hes still paranoid about the coof or is it something else now? Cause the US president and the rest of the world leaders don't seem that paranoid.

My point is that GDP isn't a good way to measure how good the quality of life in a country is.

Let's picture the scenario you described, if some oblast suddenly decides to leave the firm yet caring grasp of Moscow.

Day 1: You and your cousin who is the governor of Starozalupenskaya Oblast spend an evening drinking moonshine and watching CNN. After a few drinks of grandpa's recipe and some Anderson Cooper you come to the conclusion that the only way to move forward as a nation is to separate your oblast from Moscow and embrace the ways of the West, who has never led anyone astray before. You celebrate by drinking more.

Day 2: You wake up with a hangover, have a meager breakfast and a drink, then immediately call your unemployed graphic designer friend over, have a few more drinks, and start arguing over what your new republic's flag should look like. That process will take 2-4 days.

Day 5: After a lengthy creative process, you proudly present the flag, coat of arms, football team logo, Twitter page, email signature, t-shirt design, and such of your new stunning and brave independent republic to the world. No one cares, but you got some updoots on Twitter so you drink to celebrate.

Day 6: A smiling American gentleman shows up at your door. He says that his name is John Smith (or was it Smith John?) and offers to support the proud nation of New Zalupenland during this crucial transitory period. You offer him a drink. At the end of the day you end up with a loan, a few key members of your oblast's administration replaced with "approved" effective managers, an iron-clad contract giving the Americans exclusive access to your natural resources, and a pile of NLAWs in the middle of your living room. Just in case. He also said something about setting up a biolab in your shed, but you said your moonshine still will get in the way, so can discuss that later.

Day 7: Few more smiling American gentlemen show up at your door. They brought with them some of the dumber locals and a pile of guns. They're your new army. Your other cousin, who was a quartermaster in the Soviet army back in the day, shows up with them and proclaims himself to be general. You agree and have a drink with the general to celebrate.

Day 8: Russian cruise missiles wipe everything off the map.

The end.

Before: "we'll take Grozny with one regiment in 24 hours", "we'll take Kiev in 3 days".
After: "Мама, приезжай и меня забери"
That's precisely the reason why Russia will balkanize. Необучаемость.

Fuck if I know. Even if he wasn't paranoid about coof at this point, he will likely be paranoid about nukes. Even moreso likely being afraid of some of his close friends serving him his own favorite poisons.

 

[Elbereth]

Guys, I'm like 70% sure this is the end of war and we will get some stupid compromise so Putin can go back with face instead of facing consequences of doing this absurdly stupid invasion.

20% that they will face some disagreement, fight for a week and have another negotiation.

10% that this is another Russian betrayal, and they will regourp and strike back.

My question is: Can I laugh now at delusional Putinbros, or do I need to wait for a few more days?
