Some of you might have heard that the Ukrainian entry won the 2022 Eurovision Song Contest.

They released this video after winning.

^ Uf, that lady is heavily brainwashed and paid to brainwash. To be honest I don't see India supporting unconditionally Russia. China could if it saw a way to yield USA in the journey.

IMHO one of the World's priorities at this point would be stopping Trump to rule the USA for a second time.

Drink it. Don't complaint.

Coffee is NATO plot to indoctrinate Russian people with Western ideology. We reject this "coffee".  Big Brother Putin will instead supply Victory Vodka.

With apologies to George Orwell.

Russia won't use tactical nuclear weapons in Ukraine, says ambassador to UK.

So they will on Tuesday.

What, you don't believe them?

Russian colonel who carried Putin's nuclear codes briefcase found shot.

I firmly believe that if Putin authorizes the use of nukes, two things will happen:

1) He'll be dead within 15 minutes.

2) The order won't be carried out.

The order to use nukes has been given in the USSR several times, by mistake. It was never carried out each time. There are - relatively - unknown Soviet military men to which we owe our lives. I don't see how this will be any different. They're not suicidal.

The bigger worry is that, now that the Russians seem to be getting their shit together slightly, Ukraine will keep taking heavy casualties and eventually will be ground down into submission. Russia doesn't have forever to do this - they're also running out of manpower, taking heavy casualties and equipment losses, and the sanctions are about to paralyze many key industries. However Ukraine's early good fortunes seem to be turning for the worse. For now.

Russia Accidentally Shoots Down Their Own $36M Su-34 Bomber, Ukraine Claims.

To be fair, it looked like civilian airliner.

Not directly related to the subject of this thread, but may hint at unusual ways to attack Russia financially.
