The denialism we have in Europe amazes me. If we cant protect our Nato allies, their cities might end up looking like this. And soon ours, too. But it seems we cant agree about sending troops even to secure a peace deal.

This doesn't look like terror either, I just mean it is a large country and it is difficult to know what is going on with only a vid like this. To me it looks like a riot of some sort. It could be about Ukraine, could be about migrants, but it could just as well be about football for all I know.

I'm sure they blame everything they can on immigrants and minorities. But there are dozens of ethnicities in Russia, all with their own histories. There might be tensions you and I are not well aware of. And concentrating forces in Ukraine has left Russia vulnerable for example for islamic terror.

All the sweat for a few conscripts? I figure post soviet bureaucracy can do better than that. In the old days they just picked anyone they wanted from their beds to a night train and if anyone asked questions, they were next.

Is it though? Fighting on the streets of Moscow should be the last thing Putin wants because it makes the rulers of power look weak. If it is indeed staged, it begs the question, staged for what?
