Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

What knowledge am I claiming about Russia?

Again quote me. Unless you can, you’re just making things up.

And why do you think speaking Russian makes you more knowledgeable? In these times Russian is easily translated…

I find it pretty arrogant that you think you’re the only one who knows anything. And you’re arguing against points I have never made.

And everyone knows they have to import their gasoline (but not diesel). And that is not a result of sanctions or economy, but a result of successful Ukrainian strikes on their refineries. So that’s bullshit as well.

It’s well known that common Russians aren’t happy. And I’ve stated multiple times in this thread that the economy getting worse is mostly affecting people in poor areas, who were already having a shitty time.

You’re just stating common knowledge as if they’re some kind of secret fact that only you have inside information about, and you have the arrogance to call me arrogant? Yeah man…. Get lost :)
