Meanwhile, in the West, it may finally be dawning on some people that the extent of the self-inflicted damage from the anti-Russian hysteria is more than anybody bargained for.
For example, the EU demanded that all Russian leases on Airbus jets—over 500 of them—be cancelled. It also blocked the sale of Airbus parts to Russia and forbade Russian planes from being serviced. It also closed its airspace to Russian planes and Russia closed its airspace to EU planes in response. The EU also blocked the SWIFT payment system. This means the following things:
• The European leasing companies will have to pay Russia huge fines for canceling the leases but can’t because SWIFT isn’t working.
• The European leasing companies have to get their planes out of Russian territory but can’t because their flight crews can’t get into Russia and once they take possession of the planes the planes won’t be allowed to take off (airspace is closed).
• The planes can no longer be serviced according to the maintenance schedule, which means that in a couple of months they won’t be able to fly at all.
• Given that this is a force majeur circumstance, the Russian government can very easily nationalize these planes, including all of the intellectual property and patent rights contained therein, and start making their own parts and providing their own service.
• Given all of the above, the obvious choice for the European leasing companies to declare bankruptcy and cease operations. Company representatives have said as much.
That is just one example; there are many others. What we seem to be observing is a bout of collective insanity in the West that is resulting in a sort of collective economic and political “suicide by Russia.” I’ll do my best to figure out exactly what that means in the coming days.

>saudis cucking to Iran they should be cucking to khat chewing houthis
Reminder that according to sources as credible as hohol sources, dead Ukrainians should be around 10k now (8400 three days ago)
Also vatnik casualties were 498 three days ago, probably up to 600-700 now >Russian Ministry of Defense: Among our comrades participating in the Special Military Operation, there are losses - 498 Russian soldiers were killed on military duty, 1597 of our comrades were wounded
idk maybe it's not such a great idea to have all the vital digital infrastructure in the hands of unaccountable oligarchs that can shut down services for anyone they don't like
This place is sick. I recently started posting here but I am definitely on my way out, the interface is trash anyways and there is no way to rate comments for sorting. Too many putin trolls on here, at least on reddit it's properly moderated and bans putinbots.
I was just explaining how Putin is about to start WWIII and one guy responded with a deranged incoherent antisemitic rant and another guy replied to me by posting a cartoon picture of a guy at his computer smiling as a nuclear warhead goes off outside his window in the background, as if he wants a war. This is supposed to be a politics board.
What is wrong with you people? Get your heads checked.

Mass proliferation of cameras and internet connection was a mistake.
