Free World accounts for 50% of global GDP; russia less than 2%. It’s no superpower, just a declining empire throwing a tantrum.
russia's foundation (economic, moral, demographic) is rotten to the core.
And the only thing more dangerous than an aggrieved dictator is a world too afraid to confront him

Russia wages a criminal war, and Lavrov’s role is to justify the unjustifiable. The results speak for themselves.

After repeated lies, they have now confessed due to overwhelming evidence against them and could face life in prison.

The problem with this kind of “dispassionate analysis” is its meta message: that russia’s criminal war is somehow “🇺🇦’s problem.”
This sleight of hand obscures a plain truth: any outcome where russia walks away with anything resembling victory is an open invitation to WWIII in the rest of Europe

Haven’t read full article, but the thesis that Ukraine is about to collapse is false: Ukraine has secured billions in funding commitments until 2030, and it’s long-range strike capability will soon be widening & intensifying.Tiny, incremental ground losses do not spell defeat.

The Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster is more of a religious institution than the Russian Orthodox Church.
The first is satire; the second is a KGB (now FSB) department built to manipulate, not enlighten, its followers.
