As a Finn I say this is fine. Every military resource that is tied down and not raping and destroying Ukraine is net positive.

    Is Putin really that weak domestically to care about elections?

      His greatest political opponent just “went missing” (from the prison he was being held in) and “nobody knows where he is now.” Russians have been watching their population get ground into meat by what he originally called “a military exercise” that’s been going on over six times the time estimate that he set, and he’s actively making it so nobody can leave Russia without smuggling themselves out.

      He wouldn’t still hold office if he was playing fairly, so yes, he is that weak domestically. Get fucked, Vladolf Putler.

        Don’t forget the oligarchs can no longer live the lives they did. Obviously they are complicit with the war but that doesn’t change the fact that there are those that would turn against him if the right opportunity presented itself

        Have the days of it being illegal to call it anything but a special military operation in Russia ended?

          Putin calls it war, not sure if others are allowed to do that
