homophobic propaganda has become one of the justifications for Russia's confrontation with the West, which is accused of “promoting homosexuality as an instrument of political influence” in order to “destroy Russia from within.”

Nevertheless, Gleb notes with regret that, according to his personal observations, about half of the LGBT community in Russia (not counting activists) exhibit the same Stockholm syndrome and even homophobia towards themselves as the rest of the Russians, having internalized the state’s propaganda themes.


“They consider themselves ‘perverts’ and agree that they should not publicly demonstrate their relationship. Like their heterosexual compatriots, these people are quite isolated, afraid to actively express their position, and tend to agree with the authorities. Both I and other activists have repeatedly heard from them reproaches that it is we who are to blame for the negative attitude towards LGBT people, since we openly express our homosexuality,” he said.

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.

He's laid out 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.

Everyone who is against the war has been saying this from day 1.

Russian simps have denied this, to this day.

Even when Putin, himself says it, they will still defend it to say well akshually he didn't really mean it that way.

Wow, FLIR type imagery from the drones makes those grenade drops way more gruesome actually...

Somewhat unpleasant.

Also worth noting that even though those grenades were killing their comrades right next to them they didn't seem to wake up. Guess they have just become that accustomed to the noise.

Fsck me that thing looks cool as hell.

And I would hardly call it an answer to the T-14 Armata... I would fully expect Rheinmettal to actually be able to produce it, and it will be at least 2 generations ahead of the T-14 if Russia can ever produce more of them.

I'm intrigued by this "Software Defined Tank" concept though... that would inherently place it leagues ahead of anything Russia can produce from the stuff we're seeing on the battlefield from them.
