Igor Girkin (aka Strelkov) was arrested today for "extremism". He had a great option of fleeing to Hague and getting a comfortable prison cell... Instead, he'll get a cell in a Russian prison or worse.

Well, he's been ramping up the anti-Putin rhetoric as of late. Either he finally crossed some paper pusher's line, or whomever was his patron and protector lost influence in the power structure reshuffling that seems to have ensued after Prigozin's stunt.

Indeed he should have gone to the Hague. Free Playstation in your prison cell, play chess with Milosevic, Mladic and other mini-Hitlers all day, or at least with those that didn't die and decompose in their cells yet. Great times.

Meanwhile in Ukraine, it is becoming more and more obvious that Putin really hates black people (we knew that already, Russia has 300 thousand black people on a population of 140 million, and those black people know that they are in for a world of pain and assault if they leave their Russian black people zoo.) Maybe he doesn't hate black people as much as American police officers do, but he is getting close.
They have bombed so much grain now in Odessa, that a lot of extra Africans will die of hunger this year

UN warns that Russia cancelling the grain deal will lead to millions of deaths of hunger worldwide just this year...


EDIT: I will never forget. Back in the late '90s, when I was still in university, there where still pretty good academic relations with Russia. Quite a lot of Dutch students went to Russia for foreign student exchange projects. However, black people were strongly disadvised by university to go to Russia, and made to sign papers that the Dutch universities were not responisble if they were raped, tortured and/or killed in Russia if they decided to go there anyways despite of negative advise. The only thing they could tell them if they did go was "DON'T LEAVE UNIVERSITY CAMPUS. YOU WILL BE ASSUALTED BY EXTREME RIGHT PATROLS. POLICE WILL STAND THERE, POINT, AND LAUGH. Do not go to Russia if you are a person of colour."

The war became 20% more boring... What will I do without his legendary shitposts ? The man who very publicly told Putin to "Shut up, just shut up" will be missed after his unforseen prison suicide.

Don't worry bros Putin is stepping up to fill the shitpost void by claiming Poland will invade Belarus and Ukraine to revive the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth

I was under the impression that Putin's favorite hobby was making shit up, then killing people over it.

Not only people, now he started a war on wheat, striking enemy targets in Odessa, making him not only a war criminal, but also a cereal killer.

This isn't ramping shit up. The narrative has been in play since day one of the invasion, if not earlier. It's 'well known' >in Russia<, because the propaganda has been hammering it in for so long that everyone has heard it by now.

I dunno, it seems centralized. There is much more Poland in various nonsense pushed by Russian propaganda and trolls. There is nothing new but just more of it.

My favorite is that Poland is about to launch an invasion to reclaim Lviv and other pre-1939 territories

Ukraine on Reactive Armor: "I put that sh!t on everything!"
I like how it's even red like Frank's Hot Sauce in the memes as well.

To be perfectly fair, whenever other Europeans and Americans criticize, I think Ukraine can just look them straight in the eye and say "...and how many days have YOU been directly fighting a Conventional War this Millennium?"

According to British intelligence services, starting after this year's summer vacation, Russian children between age 10 and 12 will learn how to fly military drones, how to handle guns and how to handle grenades in school.
I guess Russia is either preparing for a long war (when those kids turn 18, 6 to 8 years from now), or preparing to use child soldiers.

There are other options. Most of what Russia says or does is information warfare. It's either/both aimed at the West to make them think what you wrote - that they are ready and willing to wage a protracted war - to undermine the support for continued military aid, or/and internally to consolidate the populace by hammering it in that they're waging an existential war and everybody's gotta do their part ('Military service guarantees citizenship. Do you want to know more?').

I dunno, it seems centralized. There is much more Poland in various nonsense pushed by Russian propaganda and trolls. There is nothing new but just more of it.

Fair enough. Even Lukashenka chimed in, rattling his Wagner sabre. Possibly to do with the approaching Polish parliamentary elections.

Russia has had military preparedness lessons in schools for years. This is where the famous videos of kids learning how to quickly assemble AK-47s comes from. They've just updated the curriculum.

It's not substantially different from the mandatory military training some countries have, and frankly, if certain countries had had this over the last couple decades, the Ukraine war would look very different.
