The question that comes to mind now is, does Putin use deodorant?

Read this book about Russia many years ago:

The whole country is basically Trump before Trump and if he was allowed to fester in power uninterrupted for 20 years.

That’s socialism!

maybe spoiler tags for this?

So with the bounties Ukraine is offering Russian defectors who bring valuable equipment with them, and the opportunities to loot and resell, this must be the greatest opportunity for upward mobility these guys could ever imagine.

Like there’s gotta be some Russian soldiers who try selling tanks and going back for more to come sell, right?

Yeah, would need to get your entire family out of Russia first before accepting something like this. Some logistical difficulties in committing actual treason (as opposed to light treason) in an authoritarian country.

You can really get an idea of the choose your own adventure style of propaganda in this video. Saving Ukrainians from their wayward government seems to generally resonate with the women. Wiping Ukraine off the map seems to resonate with the men.

You could watch the same tactic with the Capitol riots in real time. Moderate republican feeling squeamish about people on your side storming the Capitol? Here’s Laura Ingraham within hours to tell you it was antifa. Ahh, that feels better, no need to think about it further. Meanwhile your Trumpist brother is having an orgasm over his brethren storming the Capitol. And you both can still bitch about trans people and CRT together at the next family get-together.

If you are going to add NSFW images please note it and then put it in a summary or spoiler tag.

This guy didn’t.

I had a colleague in grad school who was from Chernobyl. He claimed his brother did something similar but I’m not sure he wasn’t just bullshiting.
