Er, Yes! Yes you did Putin.

Who do you think you are fooling?

Mostly his brainwashed subjects and idiots outside Russia, I would guess. Oh, and there's there the repeating a lie thing too.

And they probably believe such clear nonsense. Confirmation bias makes people say the stupidest things.



I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.

Kaliningrad, if I were Russian, I wouldn't want to live there right now. The hammer is going to fall heavy on that region.
But of course, if I were Russian, I wouldn't want to live anywhere in the current Russia Federation :D

To be fair, if the Kremlin goes to war against the West, Kaliningrad will be one of the first parts of Russia defecting.

will definitely be a place where the West can take many POWs. I doubt those soldiers would defend that place until death. 





If Harris wins then either SpaceX should be nationalised or Musk should lose every single government contract, especially the military adjacent ones, he is a national security risk, Trump won't care of course because he's also a useful idiot for Russia too, that they can easily manipulate. Wild that America could have Trump, Vance and Musk as a trio, all people on their hands and knees for Vladimir Putin. Fuck sake America, what the fuck happened to you. All it took was Donald Trump to go from hating Russia to loving everything about them and wanting to model your country after them.

The original Prussian population has been mostly replaced though, nowadays the entire Königsberg province is 90% Russian

I'd see more resistance coming from regions where independentism is much larger, like Tatarstan, Chechnya, Sakha or Dagestan - though if it goes on a bit, then Königsberg will certainly join in on the fun. It will be more difficult for them however, as Russia has normally a rather sizeable military presence in the enclave.

Just Russia's espionage hard at work. The amount of money they put in to social media and the internet to turn the idiot masses in other countries is insane. One thing we forget is that even famous people and even powerful people like Trump or Musk are part of the masses. Trump might even genuinely believe half the things he spouts because he heard it from a Russian masquerading as a bot on social media.

Yeah, when he was questioned on his "immigrants eating cats and dogs" his response was a shitty "it's what I heard" so basically he doesn't have a clue whether it was true or not, he just repeated some random shit he heard without verifying it. He is so easily manipulated that whether he is a Russian asset or just a useful idiot is irrelevant because they both have the same consequences.

What happened to that huge satellite and intelligence deal that the American dept of defense had with SpaceX? It could open up his company to similar deals with other friendly nations, and actually give SpaceX a source of revenue which they might not even have yet. And putin will probably leave office within a few years if he isn't deposed soon. Whatever Musk is getting from Russia might dry up soon. I think he should consider helping the good side out instead. 



Ukraine is gaining on Russian artillery, and now the ratio of Russian shells fired to Ukrainian shells is only 2:1. Keep goingUkraine, you got this!
