The financial director of Gazprom in Russia has committed suicide. Gazprom is basically the Russian gas industry.

It's been reported that roughly 5,000 Russian “contract” soldiers mutinied today and refused to go to the front to fight in Putin’s war.

They have tons of gold. Russia is the world's biggest producer and the elite siphon it off. They know enough to keep more than paper money. On that note it depends on how much of their stash they want to reinvest in their crime syndicate.Putin is a psychotic fool that unless he has tons of gold somewhere he's about to go broke, him & all his buddies, along with most of the country.
Money is King & Russia won't have hardly any in around a week, plus now they are a pariah.
Everyone fucking hates them, except China.
Go Capitalism!!!!
Kick both those Russkies & those Charlie Chans in the balls now.
Do a MacArthur on Russia & never stop & invade China.
Turn the tables on Russia, a war of attrition & the public outcry in Russia itself doesn't bode well for Putin.
Now that would be cool right.

Like they will get another contract with the Russian military again. Mind you, they do get to keep their lives so on the scale of things maybe not a bad move.

I was like wtf… since when do we (NL) need Berlin’s authorization. Turns out when NL bought the anti-tank weapons from germany it came with a contract that prohibited exporting/reselling them to other countries, terms they now waived. 50 Panzerfaust 3 launchers + 400 rockets, on top of the 200 stingers. The sniper rifles, helmets, vests and radars are still on the way. While it’s less than a day drive there are logistical problems. Germany praised for changing their mind but really, it won’t make a difference on the short term. Very respectable resistance from the Ukrainians but I fear most of these brave people we see in photos and videos will be dead in a week if not by Monday.

Russian military threatens Ukraine nuclear power plant
Russia’s military presence has increased near the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, which resides in a town in the Zaporizhzhia region, Ukraine’s ministry of internal affairs has reported.
Russian forces have aimed one of their deadliest weapons, a multiple rocket launcher called "Grad," at the nuclear power plant, according to the ministry.
Ukraine has reached out to the international community about the danger while the ministry of internal affairs says the Ukrainian military is heading to the region to defend the plant.
“The armed forces, national guard and civilian militia will do anything to prevent a catastrophe, we are ready to destroy the enemy. But we have to be ready for anything,” said Vadim Denisenko, advisor to the minister of internal affairs.
An attack on Ukraine's nuclear fleet, one of the world's largest, could potentially have disastrous consequences.
The nuclear fleet includes four power plants and 15 reactors and provides about half of the country’s power.
On Saturday, the Ukrainian ministry of infrastructure said Ukrainian forces had intercepted a Russian missile headed for the Kyiv Reservoir.
“The destruction of the reservoir could create a cascade effect that could destroy other dams and even damage the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant,” the ministry of infrastructure said in a statement.
Russian forces previously took control of the Chernobyl nuclear site on Thursday, less than 24 hours after the invasion of Ukraine began.
After Ukraine gained its independence following the fall of the Soviet Union, it inherited one of the biggest nuclear arsenals in the world.
However, Ukraine gave up its nuclear arsenal after signing a treaty with Russia and the United States. In exchange for relinquishing its nuclear arsenal, security assurances were given by the U.S., U.K. and Russia that Ukraine would not be attacked.

Musk says SpaceX Starlink satellite internet service activated in Ukraine amid Russian invasion
SpaceX CEO Elon Musk says the company's Starlink satellite internet service has been activated in Ukraine amid the Russian invasion into the country.
Musk announced that the service was active on Twitter after a Ukrainian official asked for the billionaire to provide the technology on Saturday.
“@elonmusk, while you try to colonize Mars — Russia try to occupy Ukraine! While your rockets successfully land from space — Russian rockets attack Ukrainian civil people! We ask you to provide Ukraine with Starlink stations and to address sane Russians to stand,” Ukraine’s vice prime minister, Mykhailo Fedorov, said in a Twitter post. Federov is also the country's minister of digital transformation.
“Starlink service is now active in Ukraine. More terminals en route,” Musk tweeted in response.
This comes as internet outages have been reported in parts of Ukraine amid the ongoing conflict.
SpaceX has a network of almost 2,000 low-orbit satellites that help get internet to remote areas around the world.

"Sun Tzu said: In the operations of war, where there are in the field a thousand swift chariots, as many heavy chariots, and a hundred thousand mail-clad soldiers, with provisions enough to carry them a thousand LI, the expenditure at home and at the front, including entertainment of guests, small items such as glue and paint, and sums spent on chariots and armor, will reach the total of a thousand ounces of silver per day. Such is the cost of raising an army of 100,000 men.
When you engage in actual fighting, if victory is long in coming, then men's weapons will grow dull and their ardor will be damped. If you lay siege to a town, you will exhaust your strength.
Again, if the campaign is protracted, the resources of the State will not be equal to the strain.
Now, when your weapons are dulled, your ardor damped, your strength exhausted and your treasure spent, other chieftains will spring up to take advantage of your extremity. Then no man, however wise, will be able to avert the consequences that must ensue.
Thus, though we have heard of stupid haste in war, cleverness has never been seen associated with long delays.
There is no instance of a country having benefited from prolonged warfare.
It is only one who is thoroughly acquainted with the evils of war that can thoroughly understand the profitable way of carrying it on...."
