Why the hell is Russia even in the UN anymore? They should be expelled. Lavrov should be detained by immigration and deported back to Russia. Screw the diplomatic nonsense. Kick him out of the country along with any other Russian diplomats. Why is that garbage allowed on US soil?

The fact that Russia has veto power is ridiculous.
they should be, and it seems there are activist actually looking into what you just said, bout kicking the Russian Federation out of the UN and the Security council and getting rid of they're veto power....it seems that when the USSR fell, they forgot to re-register with the new name, there is an article here i put up about it

when you consider that North Korea, Haiti, Yemen and South Sudan are UN members, expulsion would be excessive. They should be taken off the Security Council, unless I’m missing something major.
They should all be put in detention until they shape up. They don't need to be expelled but they shouldn't have a vote on anything. I know things don't work that way. It's much more complicated than just expelling them but the UN needs a mechanism to be able to rapidly strip a country of veto power like Russia has. It makes no sense to even hold a vote against Russia if they can just veto the damn thing.

Oh they have fucktonnes of AK47 etc... they had a period of massive industrial scale manufacturing... they just don;t have the kind of weapons I would try to threaten a modern army with...
I think most of those AKs ended up in Africa and other places, even Russian army ones were sold on the black market for decades. There are plenty of DPR troops with bolt action ww 2 weapons. No military equipment in the old USSR was made obsolete, it was stored or given to reserves. Much of Russia's modern military equipment was sold off by corrupt officers for decades and the Russian army was the biggest gas station in the country for stolen fuel, same for the air force. They sold weapons systems abroad and they stole the spare parts and sold them. The air force was most vulnerable to this shit, which is why they aren't around on the battlefield much. Same for the navy really, the higher tech involved, the more that can be stolen and sold.

Blame WWII.

Because they have more nukes than everyone else.

The Mosin-Nagant is an Imperial Russian design predating the Great War.
Its rear sight is marked off in arshin, the pre-metric Russian yard.

Precisely for that reason. Don’t dignify a crook with a gun.
Now as someone that has actually been at the pointy end of a Gun where they are not so politely requesting my valuables I can say that dignifying them is the least you can do.
Just saying...

We must always think about what we say.

Send in his large internal security forces, they got a little taste at the beginning near Kyiv, those that made it out alive.

It might stimulate change at the top, but revolutions and civil wars are not in the cards for Russia yet.

If there is trouble in Russia, it will be over the next federal election as Putin's party tries to cling to power by election cheating and fraud, it might not work this time, his people lack morale too and confidence in him, or his party. New Duma, new government with a new attitude.

That was the hidden line in the decree, that they want one million men while they have been saying 300,000. Wonder if that lie is big enough for many to question their leader?
