“Russians could not have known this was a civilian shelter”
They thought is was a theatre … bombs away!
Sometimes Nazis hide their biolabs in theaters, it is known.
tbf he did say “could not have not known”. very clumsy double negative usage.

Typical Russian Boomer dad says Putin is doing the right thing because Ukraine was letting NATO in right next door, and they have nuclear weapons.

These are the 600s that can blow up tanks and armored vehicles.
So he did - sorry I misquoted there.
This is fucking nuts. What was that dry heave at the end? This is one scary motherfucker.
In one sense this is like Germany in the 30s. But in the other sense he’ll never be able to command a dominant conventional army like Hitler. So it really just comes down to willingness to use nukes as a terror/offensive weapon. Crazy.
I hate even thinking about this stuff but if he launches one nuke, what do we do? I think there’s a strong argument for “nothing” and just try to somehow assassinate him.
get in line, bub
Is he talking about his oligarchs?
If I understood Ezra Klein’s conversation with someone who was in Russia when this all started, the percentage of people who are affected by those kinds of technology restrictions is likely small, relatively.
