    The Russian name for the remote mining system is 'Zemledeliye' or 'Agriculture' and is meant to kill civilians as well as disable heavy machinery, making farming near impossible.

    Yup, my Russian bud with a foothold in Chile and Canada is fielding lots of questions from his Russian colleagues (academics, adventure buddies etc) about prospective destinations for emigration. Buy land in Patagonia? A million lots are on offer in Chile, for those who would rough it, but most are sold remotely (always a mistake). Get in before the Chinese….

    Oops, too late

    - The statement was discussed on Saturday: Biden should stick to the script even though he’s not wrong. The “peace now” crowd is hopelessly naïve. Peace now means foreign occupation with functioning internment camps inside Ukraine. If Ukrainians have to make a deal with the devil then so be it. Otherwise it’s wishing for Ukrainian victory or Russian defeat, not an illusory "peace."

    - (Reuters) The Kremlin said on Monday that Biden's remark that Vladimir Putin "cannot remain in power" was a cause for alarm, a guarded response to the first public call from the United States for an end to Putin's 22-year rule.

    - The Kremlin is floating a 'North Korea' solution along areas it currently occupies which is unacceptable and in response the west should continue to push for a cascading Russian economic collapse until its forces leave Ukraine.

    This is probably the goal post being moved by Putin if true. I think that's why Mariupol is being leveled. The Russians won't let any civilians out. Putin wants Ukraine to surrender the city. A lot of Ukrainians are going to die in that city over the next few days. Or they will come out with their hands up and be shipped to Siberia. One resident that I saw interviewed said she would commit suicide before surrendering to the Russians.

    "Day after day mainstream liberals were promised major revelations which would lead to the entire Trump family being dragged from the White House in chains, and day after day those promises failed to deliver. But what did happen during that time was a mountain of US cold war escalations against Moscow, a very good illustration of the immense difference between narrative and fact.
    Trump supporters like to believe that the Deep State tried to remove their president because he was such a brave populist warrior leading a people’s revolution against their Satanic globalist agendas, and surely there were some individual goons within their ranks who would have loved to see him gone. But in reality the major decision makers in the US intelligence cartel never intended to remove Trump from office. They’d have known from their own intel that the Mueller investigation wouldn’t turn up any evidence of a conspiracy with the Russian government, and they’d have known impeachment wouldn’t remove him because they know how to count Senate seats. Russiagate was never about removing Trump, it was about making sure Trump played along with their regime change plans for Moscow and manufacturing mainstream consent for the escalations we’re seeing today."

    Caity needs to read the Mueller report...didn't turn up "any evidence"? What an idiot.
    Damn shame, throwing away a perfectly good white boy like that

    Among Benny's other Kremlin backed media outlets, Greyzone's Max Blumenthal says Will Smith and Chris Rock along with the Academy planned the slap as a false flag in coordination with the CIA & mainstream media to distract people from Azov Battalion activity.

    Day smokin teh crakz. Because it's not just for nighttime. I mean, if you squint it has echoes of the run up to the GWOT and Desert Storm II, sure, but that's a lot of pieces to fall into place. Yes, there's historical precedent. But jayzus h Christ.

    It's why Putin keeps his distance from everyone. He doesn't want to get the Putin treatment.

    Don't see how killing the negotiators in peace talks helps Putin. How's he supposed to get his demands met if no one's willing to have a conversation? Or did he just want to punish Abramovich for insufficient loyalty?

    Russian observers say there are two primary Kremlin factions whispering in Putin's ear. The more moderate economic people responsible for keeping the economy afloat and the hardliner FSB, military, security services people. Abramovich along with most of the other Russian oligarchs are more moderate than the hardliners so the poisoning could be an attempt to undermine political rivals. Insight into how the hardliners think:

    Or you could complain about those false flag crisis actors in the Mariupol theatre.

    If The Great Eye was interested in peace, he wouldn't have invaded a sovereign nation.
    The Dark Lord plans on getting his demands met by killing enough Ukranians to frighten the rest.
    He just wants to show Russian oligarchs and Ukranian negotiators and any would-be dissidents they'll never be safe.
