      Its crumbling… russia had revolutions because of bad wars before, but now they also have a bad economy on top. I think it will come crashing down at some point

      I’m concerned about BBC’s Steve Rosenberg. He seems to do a lot of honest reporting and often clearly sides with Ukraine. I hope he doesn’t fall out of a window.

      It’s long past due that Swan Lake was playing on Russian TVs in place of normal programming.

      Yeeee, I think we are entering the end phase of Moscow and therefore Russia. Let me remind you the quote by Ernest Hemingway from the 1926 novel called, “The Sun Also Rises”. In that novel a character wehnt bakrupt, and when it was asked, “How did it happen?”, replied, “Gradually, then suddenly.” A lot of people might redeemer it as, “Very slowly, and then all at once”. I think we are entering the suddenly/all-at-once phase of this.

      I remember reading in another thread on here how these kinds of prohibitions (countries making it illegal to post about drone or missile strikes), while draconian on paper, are actually a smart move.

      Basically, it was pointed out that social media is an extremely popular input of “open source” intel that gets hoovered up by Palantir and similar companies to improve targeting, verify strikes etc.

      If you go on Palantir’s website, they do literally boast about applying AI to public social media sources for intelligence and targeting purposes.

      So it’s less a free speech thing, and more a “don’t let people volunteer information that could be used as information feed by the enemy’s AI systems” kind of thing. Made sense to me.

      Russia is now admitting theyre losing the war to superior drone technology

      It’s crazy that they only did it now. Posting on social media gives information to your enemy and doesn’t do anything for local populations. Is it because Moscow has been virtually untouchable until recently?

      This is pretty normal in war though, isn’t it? They don’t want Ukraine getting any real time assessments of what the damage is and where. That said, I hope they keep posting to help Ukraine improve accuracy.

      I love watching those videos. The shotgun drones shooting down other drones is just great tv

      Reminds me of the Chornobyl show. “You didn’t see any drone strikes because they weren’t there!”

      Well, I certainly would want to know as a potential target. And not to answer the question if 3-day-Putin maybe isn’t Peter the Great after all, but to…you know…survive?

      ***”The national median wage in Russia is about per month, according to Sberbank”***

      I knew it was low, but I had no idea it was that low.
