Russian invasion of Ukraine imminent, BBC reports

[Fradi]

I was just watching the speech from the UN Security Council.
What a useless bunch of old farts making speeches that have no power behind them nobody gives a fuck what they say Russia certainly doesn’t.
Why do useless organizations like this cost millions upon millions of tax payer money.
I dont even know why the news even bothers to report what these useless clowns have to say.
If you can’t enforce your resolutions and decisions then you are totally worthless should have been disbanded a long time ago a total joke with numerous countries holding absolute veto power over any decisions it is a non starter to begin with.

Former U.S. Ambassador to Russia Michael McFaul reacts to Vladimir Putin honoring the military unit accused of committing the Bucha atrocities, and Russia stepping up their attacks in eastern Ukraine.

Putin goes to a fortune teller. The fortune teller says "I see you in Moscow on May 9th, huge crowd of people around you, cheering, chanting your name." Putin asks "And what am I wearing?" Fortune teller says "Dunno, the coffin is closed."

Russian pro-democracy leader Garry Kasparov tells José Díaz-Balart what needs to happen for someone in Vladimir Putin's inner circle to turn against him.

They haven't turned on him because they don't want to die as simple as that. He has no problem with killing he is ruthless.

One of the worst case scenarios for Russia is that Russia becomes a failed state like North Korea or Venezuela. Outcast by the international community, dominated by 1 figure, while the whole population starves and country drops back decades in human progress.

Anybody have experience with Parkinson's disease? Looks like Putin may be suffering from it - he's slouched, can't keep eye contact and he's tightly gripping the table with his right hand (usual coping mechanism)

KYIV, April 21 (Reuters) - Russian President Vladimir Putin claimed victory in the biggest battle of the war in Ukraine on Thursday, declaring the port of Mariupol "liberated" after nearly two months of siege although hundreds of defenders were still holed up inside a steel works.

Ukraine derided Putin's attempt to avoid a final clash with its forces in the city as an acknowledgment that he lacked the troops to defeat them.

When a central banker says "structural transformation", she means Great Depression:

Russia’s central bank says that the economy will plummet in the second quarter and Putin is ignoring the warning

The institution’s president is concerned about high inflation rates and the impact of international sanctions

In her opinion, sanctions “affected financial markets at first, but now they will start to affect sectors of the real economy more and more.” The head of the Russian Central Bank noted that the problem is not the financial system, but the lack of materials that factories and companies will receive in the near future. “The main problems are not with the sanctions on financial institutions, but with restrictions on imports and, in the future, exports of Russian products,” she added.

Assuming these artillery pieces + the 144,000 rounds from the US can get to Ukraine in time, it could be a real game changer in Eastern Ukraine.

Zelensky not mincing his words:

Zelenskyy articulates the Russian dream: âTo steal a toilet and dieâ

Kateryna Tyshchenko - Friday, 22 April 2022, 22:55

www.pravda.com.ua

"To be honest, the territory in which Russia should take care of the rights of Russian speakers is Russia itself.

Where there is no freedom of speech, no freedom of choice. Where there is simply no right to dissent. Where poverty thrives and where human life is worthless. To such an extent that they come to us, they go to war to steal at least something that resembles a normal life.

You know they used to talk about their biggest dream: to see Paris and die. And their behaviour now is just shocking. Because their dream now is to steal a toilet and die."
