He absolutely is, and I doubt the Russians are aware how much harm he did even before the war.

A lot of analysts talk about a social contract between the corrupt leadership and common people. That as long as the corrupt regime provides prosperity, the people is OK with not meddling in politics.

The same analysts say that Putin has broken that contract with this war, and Russia has had successful revolutions at least 2 times before, turning over the Tzar and later turning over the communist regime. So the people are not unfamiliar with revolutions.

Wow thanks, I didn't remember that.
I just calculated the average to 870, so it's definitely a lot above average.
My calculation is 4 years and 1½ month = 1505 days with 1310110 casualties = 870 casualties per day. Not exact but should be close enough with an error margin of 2 or 3 at most.

1440p 🤔
I don't recall the number has ever been as high as this. It's insane the Russians don't get rid of Putin, and stop this madness.

No it was nothing of the kind. He claimed Ukrainians were basically Russian, that is not about Russian minorities.

China’s leader Xi Jinping declared people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait are Chinese and want peace.

Isn't that pretty much what Putin said about Ukraine before invading?

Even in France there's a huge difference between the extreme right there and in USA. Le Penn is of course a traitor that support Russia, but she is not for instance advocating against healthcare for all. She is also not trying to undermine ordinary workers. But she hates foreigners and think Russia should be allowed to take Ukraine. But she is also not a war monger like Trump, and as far as we know she is not a pedophile.

Yes she is bad, and I have no idea why she is popular in France? But she is not nearly as dangerous to our democracy even just in France, as Trump is in USA. Also they do not have 40-50% support, she only got 23% of the vote, only because France has the stupid system that ends op pitting 2 candidates did she get 41% of the vote, when there was only one other candidate to compete against.

So you are wildly exaggerating the popularity of the far right in France and in Europe. Only the undemocratic presidential system in France makes her and "Rassemblement National" a danger of getting actual power.

if the US got the boot the Institution would than collapse

Yes which is why in reality NATO has already collapsed, it's just not been dissolved yet.
But we can't trust USA to lead NATO anymore. Are you aware that if a NATO operation were to happen in the middle east, USA would have control of the British nukes?
Obviously we can't allow that.

as doing so means the US has more assets to bomb Iran and such.

That is pure fantasy, USA has not redirected anything from the arctic or Greenland to be used against Iran.

You write:

We Europeans don’t see you as a threat,

That is not true. It's simply factually wrong, and the chart very clearly shows how wrong it is.
If you write "we here at our business", that would be a different matter. But you are making a decidedly false claim on behalf of Europeans in general.

Yes both Republicans and Democrats agree on sharing the power, except maybe Republicans don't want to share anymore.

Unless you are from Poland, that is blatantly false, see the chart. Europeans CLEARLY see USA as a danger and for good reason.
For some countries the "close ally" segment is in 1 digit percentage!!!

USA is absolutely a threat, they have threatened to invade Greenland, which caused several NATO allies to send troops to defend an American invasion.
And they currently wage an unprovoked illegal war against Iran, that threaten the economy of the entire globe including Europe.

No it's not just the Orange turd, He is just a symptom, he was elected by a majority vote, and no checks and balances has been effective in removing the madman. USA is a rogue state and is absolutely dangerous for the entire world.

USA is not just a potential danger to Europe, they are a current active danger. There can be no ifs or buts about it, it has already happened that they have acted very clearly dangerously towards Europe.

My comment that I can't see if I am not logged in to Youtube:

@buffalox8492 for 2 timer siden (redigeret) How is that piece of sh*t car street legal in Norway?
The design conflicts with standards that protect soft/vulnerable road users as well as other cars and the driver, The sharp edges are a hazard to soft traffic, and, the extreme rigidity lacking crumbling zones and weight of the car is an insane danger to everybody, even including the driver. And there are numerous safety issues with the technology that you depend on to drive it.and something as simple as the lights on the car are simply designed wrong for safety!
I thought Norway observed EU standards, but apparently not. Shame on them for allowing this car on their roads. Norwegians should demand to have it removed ASAP! For their own safety. Be warned, This is probably the worst most dangerous car to drive in modern times!

This video explains some of the problems that make it illegal in UK:

Across its full range, Tesla sold just 83 vehicles in total in January 2026, marking an 88 percent decline compared to the same period last year.

With little innovation and lacking new models, Tesla has decided to cut prices again, this time the price of the model 3 is cut by 10%.

This may be to regain some of the lost marketshare. But it may also be because they simply have too much stock.
Cutting production is expensive, and obviously producing just to stockpile unsold products is expensive too.

I have no doubt that this price cut is an act of desperation, not a result of being competitive. Tesla is losing money no matter if they cut production or they cut the prices or they stock up on unsold product.

Whichever is the case, I had a good laugh that the Swasticars are so hard to sell Tesla has to cut prices yet again, and that's despite inflation.

Allegedly the profitability on a Tesla car was recently estimated at just 2%, so cutting the price by 10% is going to hurt for them.

Here's a link to a story about it by a major news outlet in Denmark:

Anton Gerashchenko on Bluesky story about a strike at a nuclear plant with documentation:

The post contains video from the situation.

As I've been posting many times before, many workers in Russia are behind on payments. People working in factories being 3 months behind is not uncommon.
Anna from Ukraine explains the situation here. She is a good source IMO, because her English is excellent, and being Ukrainian she understands Russian, and makes frequent news updates about the Ukrainian war from various perspectives.

Anna Danylchuk:

Inside Russia on youtube was first to report on the Russian population beginning to have had enough to a degree they are actually beginning to complain:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EoR5_bJywWQ

I've claimed before I don't think Putin will last through the winter, and I see this as the first signs that the Russian people is about to have had enough.
The story reported by Anna and Gerashchenko tells that the workers are at least 2 months behind on wages, they were promised transportation to work, something that is important because of the lack of fuel, and public transport becoming unreliable. But they do not get the promised transportation. They were also promised 1 hot meal per day, but do not receive that either.
Finally in their homes, they are out of water and heat.

This is the economic and infrastructure collapse many have predicted was inevitable, that is now beginning to really show. And it isn't even really winter yet!

PS: The moderators removed my previous post with false accusations, so here it is posted again according to their demands.

FDM warns of errors in several models from Tesla, and FDM has now been successful by the Danish Road Safety Authority. FDM has previously described that there are several cases of significant veil in the rear suspension and in the steering column of the popular Model 3.

The Danish Road Safety Authority has stated that the motorists' interest organization, FDM, rightly did not approve two Tesla Model 3 by sight after the car owners had independently complained about the demand for omsyn.

FDM said in a statement.

In both cases, the sight results were due to "too much veil in bushings in rear-wheel suspension".

However, Tesla found no faults and thought the electric cars should have been approved, which led to complaints and the Traffic Agency's review. Many Teslas have "veil in the bushing"

The agency concludes that the cars had a significant veil and that the vision had been carried out correctly in both cases.

Earlier in the year, the FDM warned that there are many Teslas that have veils in bushings in the rear-wheel suspension and in the steering column. See also FDM comes with call for Tesla owners

Veils in rear suspensions mean that there is a looseness or abnormal movement in the parts that connect the car's rear wheel to the car itself.

This applies to both the Model 3 and Model Y. According to FDM, around 37,000 Model 3 and more than 40,000 Model Y have been registered in Denmark. The error is seen on newer cars

Usually you first see the problem on older cars, which have driven many kilometers, but FDM has seen several models with the error early in the life expectancy of the cars.

It creates doubts about the safety of cars, writes FDM, who has contacted Tesla to get the company to solve the problems. See also Tesla gets fined for flawed marketing

"We expect Tesla to help drivers, as it is not fair that the consumer has an additional cost of repair and possibly overhaul, because the car has a fault it shouldn't have," said Lone Otto, area manager in FDM's technical advice.

At the beginning of the year, FDM said that almost one in four Model 3 from the year 2020, which last year was for inspection, failed - among other things because of veils.

For other electric cars, the dump percentage was nine.
