A Russian was driving in Moscow by the Kremlin when he got stuck in a huge traffic jam. He rolled down his window and asked a police officer what was happening.
The officer said "Putin is standing in the middle of Red Square, threatening to douse himself in gasoline and light himself on fire unless he gets donations for his war in Ukraine".
The driver asked, "how much have people donated"?
The police officer replied "about five gallons".
The great problem of any civilization is how to rejuvenate itself without rebarbarization.

Re: Russian Invasion of Ukraine
What Russians think of Russians - The Romanian writer, Orlando Balaș, made a list of important Russian writers who expressed their opinions about their own people:
Mikhail Saltikov-Shchedrin - "If I fell asleep, waking up after a hundred years, and someone asked me what was happening in Russia, I would answer without blinking: drunkenness and robberies"
Aleksei Tolstoy - "Moscow - Russo-Mongolian taiga, wild, expanse of robbery"
F. M. Dostoevsky - "A nation that roams Europe and looks for something to destroy, to make dust, simply, everything out of mockery"
Mikhail Bulgakov - "We are not a people, but cattle, rats, a wild horde of scoundrels and murderers"
Maxim Gorky - "The most important sign of victory of the Russian people is its sadistic cruelty"
Serghei Aksakov - "Ah, how hard it is to live in Russia, in this center full of the stench of physical and moral depravity, a place of malice, lies and villainy"
Ivan S. Turgeniev - "The Russian is the biggest and most impudent liar in the whole world"
Ivan C. Shmeliov (Orthodox thinker) - "A people who hate freedom, adore slavery, love chains on their hands and feet, dirty physically and morally... ready at any moment to dirty everything and everywhere"
Aleksand Pushkin - "A nation indifferent to its smallest duty, to the smallest justice, to the most insignificant truth, a people that does not recognize the dignity of man, does not recognize, in general, neither human freedom nor free thought..."
Vasili Rozanov - "We are not a nation, but a crazy hell".
Alexandr Blok - "The tormented Russian soul has no strength to breathe and cannot fly."
Zinaida Ghippius (anti-Bolshevik poet) - "Russia, a huge psychiatric hospital"
Vladimir Sorokin - "In Russia, no one is surprised when an official takes a bribe, while the state is seen as a sacred entity to which citizens must worship. This seems absurd, but for Russians it is completely normal."

Re: Russian Invasion of Ukraine
It is ultimately a tragedy for the Russian Nation that the invasion took place. Putin has lost the future of Russia. A huge percentage of the population needed to propagate, populate and produce is leaving the country. Airlines are booked for months, people are paying $25,000 per seat for a chartered flight out. Russia is becoming dramatically older and poorer.
Why is this happening? Well, one aspect, to quote Stephen Colbert, "is potato". Or more accurately, the Vodka you can make from it. If religion is the opium of the people, it produces a dream. Vodka produces despair. Czars controlled the production and produced considerable revenue. Despite efforts from Khrushchev to Gorbachev, it is a deeply entrenched problem. I think it contributes greatly to the fatalism and pessimism that has permeated Russian society for generations.

Ah. So the only reason for launching a war on Ukraine is to save the only "white" civilisation left in the whole world. Which is Russia.Doctor CamNC4Me wrote: ↑Sat Oct 15, 2022 9:33 pmRussian explains their motivations for this war:

Everywhere else, former white countries are full of <insulting word for Chinese people>, Arabs*, and <insulting word for black people>, and the white people suck the <word for a male organ> of <insulting word for black people>.
Reassuring to know that this war is being fought by some really stupid people; maybe that will give the Ukrainians a slightly easier job?
*A bit sad to know that Arab people don't get their own word. A lack of imagination there, I fear.

Re: Russian Invasion of Ukraine
To me, this video looks like it may have been staged. A Russian soldier just happens to capture the fascist Raison d'être for the war, stated succinctly enough to be Tweet-able AND sent it out to the world? This smacks of manufactured propaganda.Doctor CamNC4Me wrote: ↑Sat Oct 15, 2022 9:33 pmRussian explains their motivations for this war:
