Putin’s Russia in one photo.
According to the Russian government, patriotic volunteers are joining Putin’s Special Military Operation in big numbers.
At the same time, wives of the mobilised Russian men record videos with angry and racist complaints that Moscow and other cities are full of migrants from Central Asian countries.
Don’t expect them to understand the connection between cause and effect as it’s not taught in public schools in Russia, but perhaps they should ask themselves : “who’s gonna do the work for my husband if he went to war in Ukraine?”
While Russian women’s husbands kill Ukrainians, Tadjiks and Uzbeks must be brought to Russia to build roads and housing, change car tires, drive passengers in taxi cabs, and make shish kabab.
Is it the fault of the Asian migrants that Russian men don’t want to work and love their tsar so much that they rather die for him than live another day?
After 2–3 waves or mobilization, Russia will look like Tadzhikistan, and don’t expect Russian women to give birth to any more babies - that hope is gone bye bye - as their husbands are away, and they’d rather have a blast while husband’s still alive to rake in blood wages.
If America’s Deep State wanted to trap Russian military in Ukraine and turn it into Afghanistan 2, they have succeeded beyond their wildest dreams.
In the first Afghan War, Russians sacrificed all they got until the state didn’t have money to import foodstuff in order to kill more Afghans and they proudly called this exercise in utter stupidity “International Duty.”
Mass hunger totally wouldn’t have stopped Russians from continuing masochistic war but the oil embargo bankrupted the state and USSR collapsed.
In the second Afghan War, Russian retirees were told that their pensions won’t be increased this year to keep up with rampant inflation because those moneys are earmarked to pay pensions of the Ukrainian elderlies in the annexed territories.
Russian elderlies are subsidizing Ukrainian elderlies! Note that state authorities make no sacrifices. Imagine the situation in which Russian military annexes all of Ukraine - Russian retirees would be paid in state benefits next to nothing.
“This month we recommend that you satisfy your food needs at the dumpster and take a loan at Sberbank to pay your utility bill to fulfill your International Dury, you dumb f—s.”
And before you start feeling sorry for the Russian elderlies remember that they cheered annexation of Crimea and voted for Putin time and again to save them from liberal democracy. Gotta make personal sacrifice for this lofty goal.
Improvements in healthcare, infrastructure repairs, new housing construction - all of that have been put on hold to subsidise annexed territories that are lying in ruins.
According to Rosstat, young families in Russia decreased consumption of the staple food while they are spending 29% more than last year on them. Is that the real size of … inflation? All to the front, all for the victory!
See? It’s already panning out Afghan War 2, in which Russians are spending less on food to grant their army privileges of killing foreigners. We suffer so others suffer more!
Ruble/USD exchange rate was in free fall a couple of days ago , until the interference of the Kremlin that ordered to forbid expatriating foreign currency from Russia, the money of the very enemy they’re fighting against.
And what about upcoming launch of BRICS gold-backed currency you ask? What a marvelous proposal!
You sell Russia sneakers and snickers bars for BRICS funny money. Then you demand to convert your BRICS funny money into gold at the Russian Central Bank. They’ll have to give you gold at fixed exchange rate otherwise their bluff is called.
And what about everyone at the same time demands to convert their BRICS funny money into gold until BRICS gold reserves are drained and laborers in the quarries of Yakutia and South Africa can’t keep up with backing up BRICS currency anymore?
“Ivan, you must dig in three shifts! We need more gold to pay for the imports of computer chips and passenger airline engines otherwise our missiles and airplanes won’t fly!”
Russian military demonstrated North Korean ammo. “Long live Workers Party of Korea!”
You can’t teach old dog new tricks. They won’t stop until they make the Russian Federation meet the same fate as the Soviet Union.
