Anyone notice the string of Russian oligach's killing their families and committing suicide lately? Now also a string of suspicious fires in and around Moscow - BREAKING: Russia - Dmitrievsky Chemical Plant burned down today on the outskirts of Moscow. This is the largest Russian manufacturer of chemical solvents. Located 250 miles EAST of Moscow. We are beginning to see a pattern develop.And the SAMe day the main building of the 2nd Central Research Institute of the Russian Ministry of Defence, it focuses on the development of anti-aircraft and air & space defense weapons, navigation devices, etc. The roof has since collapsed.

I have not seen any reports on this. That crazy about the oligarchs. You’d think that they would have had an Plan B in case things went south with little **** Putin.

Yes, very interesting development indeed. You have to wonder if it's a matter of some Ukrainians living in the country or perhaps sympathetic Russians who are attacking these targets. Could be the beginning of something. The oligarchs deaths are also something to watch, it could become a trend. Some in the wealthy class (those who have stolen from the state) have had it too good for much too long.

When you make a deal with the devil that's what you get. Don't feel sorry for these people, they were living lives that kings and queens couldn't imagine. Too bad, so sad.

AND ANOTHER TWO BIT THE DUST...

The Chief Intelligence Directorate reports that two Russian generals have been killed in Kherson Region.

Source: Chief Intelligence Directorate

Details: The Intelligence Directorate says that on 22 April, the Armed Forces of Ukraine launched an attack on the forward command post of the 49th Combined Arms Army of the Russian occupying forces, which, contrary to combat regulations and common sense, was deployed a short distance from the line of battle in Kherson Region.

Obviously, I wasn't talking about small defenceless children, that is an absolute tragedy.

However, the Oligarchs and their wives and grown children who are attending the top schools all over the world, with ill begotten money from the people of Russia, they can all go #$%# themselves. You see it in Manhattan, how some of these people live, it's another world all together. Having been to London, Paris and the South of France, it's an eye opener, the Czars never had it so good.

Saw Ukraine destroyed their first Russian T-90 tank. 2016 cost in USD was 4.5 Million!

Nice. I'd like to see them trash the new Armada.

The Russian population is fairly uneducated now. They are going on 30+ years of deemphasizing public education, so they have the exact stupid working class they were going for.

I feel like they got a good head start but the USA will catch up. We can't be that far behind.

The brain drain from Russia due to this war is a real thing. The ones with skills and the sense to know what this war meant for Russian society have skipped the border in the tens of thousands apparently. Maybe we can bring them here to slow down the dumbing down of Americans

Forgot where I read this recently but there was someone talking about how a lot of these authoritarian governments realized the best way to combat liberal democracy was to utilize extreme nationalism

This is something I learned about almost 25 years ago in Social Studies and yet there are people who I recall sitting in the class next to me who are basically the same ilk as the Capitol rioters. Even education can't combat it. It's appealing to something rotten inside a person which is either innate or learned early at home.

I don't know. Then you wind up bringing in bitter zealous over educated Russian nuts like Ayn Rand, who wind up causing all sorts of long term problems with their BS pseudo philosophy.

Haven't read all 90 pages of this thread - not close, but does anyone here watch Beau of the Fifth Column on Youtube. He's got some pretty interesting takes on Ukraine.

This one I thought was interesting and it makes sense.
