Father Merrin !u5oFWxmY7U started this discussion 2 years ago #112,087

Ukraine has launched 2 drones at Moscow, lightly damaging a couple of offices. From CNN:

"The Russian foreign ministry has issued a statement calling on international organizations to condemn the recent Ukrainian drone attacks on Moscow and Crimea.

“We regard what happened as another use of terrorist methods by the military-political leadership of Ukraine, intimidation of the civilian population” the foreign ministry said in an official statement published Monday.

“We strongly condemn this, yet another crime of the Kyiv regime. We call on international organizations to give it a proper assessment,” it added.

The damage to the offices is estimated to be up to $60,000. But sure, Ukraine is just a "peaceful democracy" fighting for its freedom.

This is clearly a message for the Russian domestic population.

Yep. Targeting civilians. Textbook terrorism.

If you mean presidential elections, I don't know yet. The candidates haven't announced themselves.

Do you think Putin has a chance of winning if he runs for re-election?

Yes, he's extremely popular right now. But I'm not convinced he'll run.

Under a series of constitutional amendments passed in 2021, Russian President Vladimir Putin, 69, can serve as the country's president until 2036 when he is 83 years old. Russian law limits presidential terms to two consecutive six-year periods.

That just means he'll control whoever's president basically until he dies. It won't necessarily be him. I think the plan is still to have Alexey Dyumin take over once Ukraine is wrapped up.

Once Ukraine is wrapped up? How do you think it'll be wrapped up?

Crimea and Donbass Russian territory, no NATO in Ukraine. Basically what was agreed 15 months and 200,000 dead Ukrainians ago before Johnson told them to keep fighting because they'd break the Russian economy by June.

If you don't think firing drones at civilian buildings causing literally tens of thousands of dollars worth of damage constitutes terrorism then your moral compass needs adjustment.

Possibly. Defenestration can happen to any of us. It's an uncertain world.

True. It's pure coincidence that it happens to 99.999% of Putin's political opponents.

I would, but if I posted it, I would defenestrate.

So you have no citation. Ok thanks, that'll be all.

By the way Putin announced today that he's going to be giving Ukraine's grain away to African countries free of charge. What Western leader gives Africa free food?

One that's desperate for a friend on the international stage.
