    Russia & Ukraine

    I repeat. The "good Russian" who is against the "operation" and wants to leave Russia, in the end of the conversation turned out to wish that Russia, after finishing up the Ukrainians, would invade Lithuania.

    Russia & Ukraine

    Absolutely not. Don't judge by yourself. If you're an immoral moron, not everyone is. I have several friends in Russia. Some have a business that is basically zeroed by the sanctions. Not one expressed any support or desire for the current invasion or any further ones. Because they are decent...

    The "good Russian" who is against the "operation" and wants to leave Russia, in the end of the conversation turned out to wish that Russia, after finishing up the Ukrainians, would invade Lithuania. Those are the "good Russians".

    Russia & Ukraine

    Here's the counterpoint to all that "why sanction ordinary Russians". This is a real conversation between a Lithuanian company's personnel dept. and a Russian applying for a job: I have a Russian passport I am 46, my profession is economist, don't have a job, need money. - I understand. I am...

    The Demolition of Russia's Economy

    Those that think that are delusional. This is not temporary. It is permanent, as long as Russia continues on its belligerent course. Sanctions are not going away. Reserves are being depleted. They are going into deep hole and there is no climbing out. Within a few months even Russia's defense...

    Russia & Ukraine

    Apparently Russia is having serious problems selling its oil. It is still being pumped out, but they are running out of storage space, and not enough people are buying it. Now they are reduced to trying to sell it to India at $35 below market price, but having problems with moving it. If they...

    The Demolition of Russia's Economy

    This is hilarious. Someone told me that in order to get around the restrictions on the buying of dollars, Russians are resorting to a fun trick: there are ads in the newspaper in the "Numismatist" section - will sell a $100 bill for 25,000 rubles.

    Russia & Ukraine

    This is Dmitry Rogozin, currently the Director General of Roskosmos - the Russian space agency. The sign says "Whites of all countries, unite". Definitely needs denazifying, wouldn't you say?

    Russia & Ukraine

    It has been reported that Russian troops have dug and ran tanks through the so-called "Red Forest" area of Chernobyl. Which would put huge clouds of radioactive dust into the air they were breathing. Couldn't happen to nicer guys.

    Russia & Ukraine

    Putin made legendary heroes out of the far-right nationalists in Ukraine. The Azov formation's amazing resilience, bravery and the enormous losses they caused Russians around Mariupol have made them unquestioned heroes in Ukraine to all Ukrainians. If before the war a lot of Ukrainians were...

    Russia & Ukraine

    You know those new measures the Russian Central Bank instituted a while ago where people or companies with foreign currency accounts could only take $10K total from them in currency, and the rest would have to be in rubles? The Central Bank just announced that until Sept 9th no withdrawals in...

There are only 3 factories in Russia that produce such bearings, all foreign-owned and all extremely reliant on imported parts. So - a big scramble...
