No economy without fuel.
No war without an economy.
If the military gulps all the fuel, it will not have any resources (other than fuel).

A human, from a Finland.
What is important to me? Generally: doing the right thing. And everything that follows from that: Sustainable living, including sustainable travel and eating, privacy, opposing fascism, opposing genocides.
And then languages and bicycles are other interesting things. I also am a parent of some further human beings.
I have lived in Finland, Germany, Ukraine, Spain and the Russia. And hitchhiked from Finland over China to India.

You need three people in order to give the nuclear launch command in the Russia. Putin would want to do that indeed, but the minister of defence and the head of the army absolutely not.
They are hired according to their bootlicking skills and that alone. They won’t bomb their own children and grandchildren that are scattered across the western countries.
This is the one thing Putin really cannot just dictate in his country.
2008 revolution, not 2014 invasion.
The Orange Revolution is apparently what prompted Putin to start preparations for this war, because that’s when the official grammatical rule was changed in the Russian language.
Without the civilians’ intentional passiveness Putin would be unable to wage this war.
The choice to not know is a _choice_. It is a political decision. One that people make around the end of their teenage years, but a decision all the same.
That decision is what keeps the murder going on.
Also, these drones are not targeting civilians. They are okay. The Russia redirecting them into homes in order to protect Russian military targets is on the Russia’s own responsibility.
If you knew Russian and spoke with Russians, you’d understand they are supportive to this war. What they are angry about is *how* it’s fought, but about the war itself.
As long as the war has their support, it will continue. And when they abandon their support, the Russia will leave Ukraine and the war will end.
Of the people on this photo? 16, for what I’ve understood.
@doo @rockerface , translation programs do indeed usually translate “khokhol” into “crest”, and if you see that word in a machine translation from Russian, it almost always means that slur about Ukrainians.
No.
They went to die for Putin’s ego.
Because they feel that they share his ego. In sending them to useless death, he shows he’s a strong leader – as the soldiers want. They are glad to be part of their Strong Leader’s plans. That makes them feel strong.
Remember, the Russia has not started sending conscripts to the front yet. All soldiers are there of their own choice. Mostly for money, but also for their country finally doing what they want it to do: Bruteness.
Ukrainians fight like hell because they know they will be tortured if they surrender, or might even be killed if they try to.
The main reason to be nice to surrendering enemy combatants is that it motivates them to surrender. If you kill your enemy when he tries to surrender, your chances for victory diminish dramatically.
Ukraine wants victory. The Russia wants to inflict pain. Different goals, different means.
2·8 months agoThis used to be the the capital of Lithuania.
Also, it had an excellent museum about Lithuanian history, with almost everything available also in English.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Externsteine is quite cool, though! :)

The Russia is in a war with Ukraine, though. How is Ukraine attacking a Russian arms shipment not okay in your books?
