Yea, even if the higher ups didn’t tell them anything even the dumbest Russian conscript could figure it out. Like did they keep the conscripts from reading street signs? But what are they going to say to their captors? Hell yea I’m here to murder Ukrainians and I’m supposed to be on Main Street Kiev by 9:00?
In other news, Ukraine’s Finnish Embassy website has been offline for a few days, maybe .ua domains are down due to shenanigans. I sent them an e-mail though, might as well volunteer to do some good. Beats drinking yourself to death at least.

I made a thread, not sure if the split will work but there’s at least a place to move posts to if the mods choose to do so.

I read somewhere that those Russian reserve locations was a few months ago.
I would assume he moved that over to Russia before the war?
That’s the humanity-level question. I don’t think anyone knows.
Churchill we will fight them on the beaches stuff.
How do you just “move”, say $10bn? You can’t exactly withdraw it in cash. Sure, you can move it to a different account, but it’s just a number on a screen unless you can actually use it in some way.
Not being sarcastic, I genuinely have no idea how money works when it gets to those amounts.

LOL Cramer.
When you are dunked on by Riverman for, well, Rivermanning, that’s a pretty good sign you need to reconsider your general view of reality.

cash out via swift banking system - oh wait.
It’s all just money on a screen at levels higher than a bank teller/ATM. Bernanke or someone talked about just moving the comma a couple of spots over on the New York Fed computers during the 2008 bailouts.
$10B should buy a few monkey jpgs.
I dont get why they are just freezing these funds.
Take the money. Buy NLAWs.
