Do you think it is realistic that Russia will unilaterally pull out? The war will end when Russia leaves, but Russia isn't going to leave until they are pushed out, negotiations are had, or Ukraine is destroyed. The first possibility is becoming increasingly more unlikely, and the last is something that nobody should want

That leaves negotiations. I think Ukraine should come to the table while they still have some leverage, which is decreasing every week that they throw their men into the meat grinder without meaningful gains.

Zs aren't an old Nazi symbol. The balkenkreuz is.

It's not just iron crosses, he's thinking of the balkenkreuzes that are being painted on tanks. The symbol Germany stopped using after WWII.

He set up Popular Revolutionary Tribunals to prosecute public officials charged with political crimes[12] and corruption, considering such elements of the state counter-revolutionaries.[15] This led to criticism by Amnesty International for human rights violations, including extrajudicial executions and arbitrary detentions of political opponents.[16]

idk sounds pretty authoritarian to me.

Sounds absolutely deranged, no? That's the same methodology the Black Book of Communism uses, and why we are laughing at the 100 million number.
