Fascinating insight into the political power structure supporting Putin: the oligarchs and the strongmen, from an assistant Professor at University of Toronto:


Her conclusion is that sanctions actually allow them to tighten their grip on Russia - they don't care since they're already well provided for.

Certainly more dark days ahead for the Russian population: devaluation, inflation, deprivation, repression and outright imprisonment if they protest.

Sounds like Venezuela to me.

Of course, if Putin dies, this can only lead to more chaos. Par for the course for a dictatorship - there can be no orderly handover of power.

The Russian government has arrested more than 5,000 anti-war protesters this week, and reports say that the Russian government is working on legislation that would immediately conscript these protesters into the Russian military.
The abuse of the Russian people at the hands of Putin's regime are numerous, but this one is especially heinous given the current circumstances.

Respect to the brave Russians fighting this tyrant that is Putin. You people are heroes saving humanity.

I was pointing out the irony of the title of the article.

I think all of you guys have relaxed on the possibility that Putin, who has already said that any no fly zone would be considered an act of war, might also declare that anyone who arms Ukraine is committing an act of war. Frustration is starting to set in. If you are relaxing on the possibility that this conflict can blow up into a bigger conflict, don't.

EagerBeaver,
I totally agree with you about Putin : nobody can predict what he will or not do. I guess many governments are asking themselves the same question, though they have access to information not available to us.

WOW....POUTINE a offert today à l'Ukraine des couloirs humanitaires/humanitarian corridors ;) vers la RUSSIE et le BELARUS....offre grotesque /insensée rejetée évidemment par l'Ukraine....de se jeter ainsi dans la gueule du loup/agresseur...
On peut facilement imaginer le sort sordide qui serait réservé à ces migrants déjà en pleine détresse...f...you POUTINE......MACRON a déclaré y voir là du pur cynisme moral et politique......we can't say better..

A good video on the Liberal bias/misinformation regarding Ukraine War.
Have you looked at the author of that video ?
His background ? Unless you beleve anything you see on the net.
Just because you don't like PJW doesn't mean that the questions he raises in the video aren't thought-provoking.
Or are you just content to let the government and media do all your thinking for you?

I listen to unbiased news coverage like from the BBC and then come to my own conclusions. Putin is pure evil and a blood thirsty killer.....you have to be deaf and blind not to realize that.

Autre journée de négos inutiles.....faut se rendre à l'évidence --et on le sait depuis le début---POUTINE ne veut qu'une reddition complète OU une destruction complète......

Se rendre à l'évidence aussi que l'Otan devra intervenir dans ce dossier avant qu'un horrible génocide ne se produise.....hey wake up...POUTINE est déjà en guerre contre nous.....question de temps....et en s'en prenant à l'UKAINE c'est à toutes nos
démocraties qu'il fait la guerre......my 2 cents en ce triste Lundi sur la cité....et dans le monde.

Evidemment une intervention militaire/OTAN devrait se dérouler UNIQUEMENT sur territoire/aérien de l'Ukraine pour leur DÉFENSE....et non pas une attaque en règle vs la RUSSIE.....dans ce scénario fort à parier que ce sckizo utiliserait alors l'arme ultime....MAIS anyway c'est sûrement dans son plan.

Et btw...les sanctions économiques....POUTINE est mort de rire...se fout royalement des conséquences sur son peuple et sait qu'elle va le suivre anyway....pas vraiment le choix...lol.

Mais ce sadique sait très bien que ces sanctions vont both ways.....parlez-en à L'Europe qui s'inquiète de son alimentation énergétique... et même nous nous avons commencé déjà à les ressentir et ce n'est pas fini.....après une crise pandémique de 2ans qui a fait
des ravages.....on risque fort de passer à une crise économique sérieuse avec inflation galopante...oui de biens sombres jours à l'horizon......et lui pourra toujours compter sur la CHINE pour le dépanner...et ensemble former le plus grand continent./puissance....
l'EURASIE.

Talk is heating up between Blinken and European allies of a boycott on oil and gas exports from Russia. Canadians may have to suck it up with even higher gas prices and put their money where their mouths are. Meanwhile, I wonder if Putin could consider this an act of war.
