Ukraine ping
[Puty is dumber than a box of rocks. Did he think everyone was going to jump onto his death train? Total moron.]
The differences between Russia today and the Russia of the past, including the Soviet era? One - the borders aren’t militarized, with machine gun nests and minefields barring the way. Two - the population isn’t teetering on the verge of starvation, meaning there is enough surplus to travel abroad - which helps with dodging the draft. What’s interesting is the way large numbers of Ukrainians are staying to fight, while large numbers of Russians are fleeing abroad or internally.

This is a fascinating detailed report of actual conditions by disillusioned Russians. The actual state of the FSB is especially interesting. This post is well worth passing on to your pro Ukraine friends and those who need a bit of encouragement.
Earlier this evening I saw a news crawl about a Russian freight training being derailed near the Ukraine border and being on fire. Does anyone have more information on this story or a good link to post here or on the Search bar for both Russia snd for Ukraine?
