    Can’t really treat all those poor Russian cannon fodder conscripts for acute cases of death. Sitting in out-of-fuel convoys is bad for your health. Luckily for them, many are opting to surrender. Also, threats of conscripting Russian anti-war protesters doesn’t sound like a good idea, either. Seems more like a free emigration to Ukraine program.

      What death? Only a few have died. The glorious Russian Army is too powerful for anyone to assault them. Like their forebears, they are gigantic superhuman soldiers, sent out on a mission to bitсhslap Nazis. Like Zelensky, the biggest Nazi of them all.

      They are so awesome, that they though “Why waste the fuel and further harm climate?” and just started pushing their tanks onwards. Could you push a 60 ton tank? But they do it as if it were nothing!

        I have great respect for the Russian people. I hope one day they’ll throw the yoke of authoritarianism off, again.

            I agree, but it’s not triumph if you simply replace it with local imperialism and capitalism. A post-scarcity future is possible. But we have to imagine what lies beyond capitalism. What might have the Bosheviks accomplished with good computers and no Stalin?l

              if you simply replace it with local imperialism and capitalism.

              True. However, that simply isn’t the case here. We can know, with certainty, that Putin is a secret communist trying to rebuild the glory that is the USSR. We can know this because we want it to be true, and wanting it to be true makes it true (when it’s a good thing).

              Soviet scientists like Lysenko proved this in the 20th century.
