The man in the video is a Russian philosopher. This video is very charitable toward Russia.

You really hate Ukraine and the West.

Everything you have is thanks to the West. Yet you hate them so much.

What did Russia give us? AK47s?

"I use Thomas Mann's brilliant meditations on Nazi Germany to help us start a conversation about how do humans take responsibility when they are not guilty of evil, but are associated with it. "

Yep, responsibility , the part Russians don't feel towards Afghanistan, Chechnya , Georgia, Moldova, Ukraine and not even towards their own people Nemetsky and so on...

Germans still feel colective guilt about the Nazi , Russians just say it's not my problem.

Why should Russians feel an ounce of guilt about 'Chechnya , Georgia, Moldova, Ukraine'?

It is hilarious to watch all the ...
"Ukraine can win this war"
"Russian wants to take over Kiev and cause regime change"
"These sanctions will hurt Russia enough to stop the war" ...
conspiracy theorists and propaganda pushers once again lose ALL credibility.

The propaganda has become so bad that it is a safe bet to assume that anything these propaganda pushers post is simply false and can be ignored since the real truth will come out at a later point anyway.

Of course these same simps just cannot get it into their heads that both Russian propaganda and their own propaganda are basically equally BS. Of course nothing will stop these people from labelling anyone that does not accept their BS propaganda as a Russian bot or simp.

We will not invade Ukraine - 1 week before invading Ukraine.

He's laid his plans throughout the course of the war, with the most recent being that he wants to emulate the conquests of Peter the Great of imperial Russia.

Oh, I'm aware of that. I just want to know what @MunosMachos says Putin's real plan is. Then I can hold his statements against him whenever it's different.

Ukraine isn't doing their best to alienate their minorities.

I know it may have escaped your attention while you worry about Yemen but just as an FYI, Russia invaded Ukraine and is currently at war, Ukraine is fighting back in a bid to defeat the invasion.

Russia and its puppet proxies have bombed and shelled numerous Ukrainian cities and town killing thousands of civilians. Many civilians being shot, shelled and bombed on purpose.

Probably not really intelligent to come here like a wet lettuce crying about a retaliatory strike that has had minor collateral damage in the middle of a war zone caused by Russia.

Putin and Peter the Great: Russian leader likens himself to 18th Century tsar​

Vladimir Putin's admiration for Peter the Great is well known but he now seems to have ideas of "Great"-ness himself.
He has openly compared himself to the Russian tsar, equating Russia's invasion of Ukraine today with Peter's expansionist wars some three centuries ago, and making his strongest acknowledgment yet that his own war is a land grab.
Mr Putin's apparent empire-building ambitions bode ill for Ukraine and have irked other neighbours, including Estonia, which called his comments "completely unacceptable."
Russia's president was meeting young scientists and entrepreneurs when he made the remarks. Before talking IT and tech development he talked politics and power: the new battle he sees for geopolitical dominance. In that, he told his select audience that Peter the Great was a role model.
"You might think he was fighting with Sweden, seizing their lands," Mr Putin said, referring to the Northern Wars which Peter launched at the turn of the 18th Century as he forged a new Russian Empire

I watched an interview with Tony Blaire a while back who met with Putin shortly after he was elected. He said he was the hopeful Putin who wanted to modernize Russia and bring it into the free world. The longer one person stays in power the more paranoid and evil they have to become to retain that power. Blaire said the Putin of today is a very different person to the one he met and had discussions with. Same thing happened with Mugabe. Progressively got worse the longer he retained power and the dirtier he got retaining it. Over time power corrupts. Its a why a 2 term electoral system produces such great results as compared to others. The focus is on leaving a positive legacy in the time you have. You do that by improving the country for all. With absolute leaders for life the focus completely shifts to retaining power. If you have to hurt your people to retain power you do it. Now that China has abolished terms for their leaders just watch. They will stop progressing, and things will get worse and worse for them as Winnie the Poo gets more and more afraid of his own people.

Its getting obvious that Putin's health is failing. That is normally a sign of the end. The vultures who are in the running to replace him will probably take him out or push him aside to hurry the process along knowing that a sick paranoid leader like Putin has far less support. His protectors will be anxiously looking to figure out who the next ruler of Russia is and they will switch allegiance very quickly once that leader becomes clear to ensure continued patronage. Just as was seen in Zim.

Just because the Russians were bored , in a zone without active hostilities...

One killed, two injured in Sumy region: Governor​

A Russian drone dropped grenades on a small community on Monday in Ukraine’s Sumy region, which borders Russia, killing one person and injuring two, the local governor has said.

“Almost at 2 pm, an enemy drone dropped ammunition (grenade launcher) on the territory of Velykopysarivska community. As a result of the explosion two people were injured, one died,” Dmitry Zhivitsky wrote on Telegram.


“At about 5 pm, the community was also shelled with mortars,” he added but did not mention any casualties from the attack.
