It's just as symbolic as moskva going down if not more.
I hope they manage to fully tear this fucker down!

Ukrainians know a thing or two about etiquette - Crimea bridge is on fire, consider it a Putin’s birthday firework.

re: tanks
Re-purposed captured Russian equipment now makes up a large proportion
of Ukraine’s military hardware.Ukraine has likely captured at least 440 Russian Main Battle Tanks,
and around 650 other armoured vehicles since the invasion. Over half
of Ukraine’s currently fielded tank fleet potentially consists of
captured vehicles. -
The price is steep for real but I love mine and wouldn't call them marginal gains. They brake just as good as my sram force hydraulics on my other bike. The only thing I don't like about mechanics is that they're not self adjusting like hydraulics.
I've never had any other mechanic brakes so maybe they all have plenty of stopping power when done right but I was under impression that hydraulics are superior and in my case they both work just as good.
Speaking of paul components quality control - i've managed to buy a faulty QR skewer from them some time ago - it just wouldn't open all the way. That was surprising. But of course they've changed it after I wrote them.

Depends if we talking Russia or normal world.
Some Russian conscripts who were collected in the streets are already in Ukraine.

The diplomacy I approve

Misleading in a clickbait way.
United States Ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield told the meeting that
estimates from a variety of sources, including the Russian government,
indicate that Russian authorities have interrogated, detained and
forcibly deported between 900,000 and 1.6 million Ukrainians.He [Russian ambassador to the UN] said more than 3.7 million
Ukrainians, including 600,000 children, have gone to Russia or
Russian-controlled separatist areas in eastern Ukraine, but they
“aren’t being kept in prisons”.So obviously not all 600 000 children are without their parents and up for adoption but some are.
And if you mean the replenishing cannon fodder part - I obviously don't mean they'll send those kids to war straight away - they'll put them in Russian families and raise them Russian.
One less Ukrainian, one more Russian, right?
-
More than 600 000 Ukrainian children transferred to Russia. Some with their parents, some - up for adoption. That's one way to replenish a cannon fodder reserve.
-
Just pointing out the absurd of Russia being part of United Nations.
-
Russia vetoes Security Council resolution condemning attempted annexation of Ukraine regions :)))))
-
Is any government of any democratic country, no matter how arseholish it is, even remotely comparable to the one in Russia? I doubt it.
-
“There are four new regions of Russia,” Putin said in a televised ceremony from the Kremlin in Moscow, according to a translation.
The territory being seized consists of two pro-Russian “republics” in Luhansk and Donetsk in the east, and in Kherson and Zaporizhzhia in the south.
There are concerns Moscow could use unconventional weapons to “defend” what it will now say are its territory and citizens.
Pathetic.
-
Can't blame people for not caring about politics...
Until politics start caring about converting those people into cannon fodder. -
Congratulations on finally closing the border to Russian tourists. :)

The C.I.A. issued a vague warning in June to a number of European
nations, including Germany, that the two Nord Stream gas pipelines
that carry natural gas from Russia could be targeted in forthcoming
attackshttps://www.nytimes.com/2022/09/27/world/europe/cia-nord-stream-pipelines-attack.html
Some theories float around that it's Russians doing it to their pipelines first so when they damage some other pipeline from Norway soon, they will be like "can't be us, we got our infrastructure destroyed as well".

Of course I've seen German anti war protests but my point is that Russian minorities in Germany are not so vocal about it and seem to have a different point of view.

Not to mention some random occurrences of straight up bullying Ukrainians.

Being a pacifist doesn't work out very well when dealing with Russia.

Seeing Russians that have been comfortably living abroad for decades, yet march with soviet flags to support Russia and abuse Ukrainian refugees i'd think otherwise - close all the borders and force them face their own shitty government and their own shitty decision to do nothing about it.
There are around 3.5M people Russian speakers in Germany and around 2M of ethnic Russians. I haven't seen big anti war protests there but i've seen parades to support Russia.
-
Wind of change
-
Russians have a peculiar mentality.
Something with this. I still can't comprehend how they'd rather send their family members to war than doing some serious protesting.
We have some very distant relatives in Kaliningrad and from what I've heard the mood there is "if they tell us to go to war, we'll go - what can you do, eh?"
-
More footage emerge on mobilisation. Waves, hugs, friendly pats on the shoulder and tears of course. https://twitter.com/PjotrSauer/status/1572863899934019585
And the video is from Yakutia, of course - 8000 kilometers from Ukraine.
I kind of understand why russians don't protest - they simply will get their shit beat up and probably spend some time in police station but simply agreeing with it and letting your loved ones go to a war? This is insane.
And yesterdays protests? They simply stand and watch how police beat them one by one.
-
Regarding the conscription - I think they'll only manage to pick the saddest and the poorest ones, the ones that are not rich enough to be queuing in a traffic jam near Finland or Georgia borders or the ones that are unable to give doctor a bribe so they get a medical exemption from the army.
And then all those unlucky bastards will go to a neighbouring country to fight against highly motivated, NATO trained soldiers, equipped with NATO weaponry and guided by NATO intelligence.
This one here is pure gold and a great example how everything operates there - prank call for a son of Dmitry Peskov regarding the conscription - he will be solving this on "another level". :)
-
Reports emerge on some protests but mostly consist up to 100 people. Soon to be arrested and back to normal.
