No one wants that Gaddafi treatment. Even the saddam execution was on grainy shytty cell phone camera.

at least Saddam got an old school hanging.
Gaddafi (Rest in Peace, Pimp) went out bloodied in a sewer pipe, sodomized with a sword and then they drove his corpse around in a freezer on the back of a pickup.

Russia is so fuggin corrupt. They really poisoned Alexei Nalvany then imprisoned him for 2 years for seeking treatment :russ: then extended his sentence 9 more years for “fraud” and “contempt of court”. I don’t know what he was thinking to be honest. He should’ve never came back. He’s actually experiencing what Julian Assange’s dumb ass thought he was experiencing.
I can't call it with Navalny. He's arguably as much of a Nazi as Azov is and always seemed like a bit of an "op" cause theres no way legitimate opposition like this could exist and yet he keeps flirting with that line.

They speak like they are the only country with nukes. It's amazing. Countries will lose cities. It will be horrific, but Russia will cease to exist.

They don't understand that? They believe they can launch nukes without retaliation? Russia launches nukes after what they did to Ukraine, and they don't understand it's suicide?

The Putin koolaid is crazy.
maybe Western russia will cease to exist. Russia is big enough that eastern russia could legit just ride it out and never know nukes went off :mindblown:

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said Wednesday “no one could have predicted” Western sanctions would target the country’s central bank, in the first major admission by the Kremlin that Moscow was blindsided by the transatlantic response to Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine.

“When the reserves of the Central Bank were frozen, no one would think, out of those who made predictions, what sanctions the West might apply,” Moscow’s top diplomat told students and staff at Moscow State Institute of International Relations, while slamming the West’s move as “thievery.”

“Russia must be made to never again be reliant on supplies from abroad,” he said, but added that Moscow would be “ready to cooperate” with the West in the future “if they want.”

Within days of Putin’s lethal invasion beginning on February 24, the EU, U.S., U.K. and Canada imposed sweeping and coordinated sanctions freezing the Russian central bank’s foreign deposits. China holds the most Russian foreign reserves, though France, Germany and the U.K. together held more than a quarter in 2021, according to data research company Statista.

The move left the central bank effectively unable to access around half of its $630 billion gold and foreign currency reserves to mitigate the impact of other sanctions and — added to other measures such as disconnecting Russian banks from SWIFT — caused a precipitous drop in the value of the ruble.

He could be. I don’t know too much about him. But at least in America MAGAs can MAGA without the President trying to kill them with a nerve agent :skip: He might be on to something though :patrice: Either way, I read that Putin gave a promotion to the judge shortly before the court proceedings began which is just blatantly rubbing it in at that point.
