This might be a little tougher than Putin thought...

While the laws in Russia (or any foreign country, TBH) may not jive with what we think of as fair, but they're still real laws. In Singapore, you can be caned for chewing gum in public. If you choose to travel to these shitholes, deal with their laws. If you don't like it, stay home. IMO, if you choose to go to a country that we're in an adversarial relationship with, I find it hard to feel sorry for you if you get picked up on iffy charges. Nobody has to go to Russia, or China, or Singapore, or any of a number of other dangerous countries. FAFO.
Technically not true. It's not illegal to chew gum in public. It's only illegal to import or sell it. Now if you choose to stick it to a wall you will be fined fairly heavily. It's far from a shithole country. Probably one of the cleanest and safest places I've ever visited.

I apologize, I wasn't clear. It's not that it's a shithole, it's that there are a lot of laws that most Americans would think are wrong, inappropriate, overly harsh, etc, and that will be heavily enforced with penalties that may also be considered unjust, cruel, or unusual. My point, generally, is that if you go to a foreign country, you have to obey their laws, whether you like and agree with them or not, or you may find yourself in a very uncomfortable situation.

I swear a fairly large percentage of these Russian soldiers must be suicidal.

They just slowly look up at the drone with a grenade or a tank barrel and don't even really react. Just wait to be blown the f---k up.

Very creepy.
They welcome it with open arms.

Won't they run out of parts? I can't imagine (at least hope) Toyota still wanting to do business with them.

Toyota left because they couldn’t import parts and software due to sanctions. It wasn’t morality. If Toyota couldn’t build their cars, Russia certainly won’t be able to.

I assume the Russians plan to steal their equipment and use it elsewhere.
 
Russians did this.



🕯️4-year-old Pavlo Korotkov died in Mariupol on March 21, 2022. A missile hit a private house on the Left Bank, where he lived with his family. A fire started. The boy, along with his 27-year-old mother Khrystyna, grandmother, great-grandmother were burned to death.

"Kristyna's father was not at home at the time of the blow. He tried to save them, but... They were all dead. He received numerous burns while trying to save them. In one moment he lost his wife, only daughter, only grandson and mother-in-law. The family was buried in the yard on Morsky Boulevard, near house No. 56. There were many graves and tablets. But later they were reburied for an unknown reason," said Olena, Khrystyna's friend.

4-year-old Pavlo was born in Mariupol. He was kind and smiling. He liked walks, meetings with friends, but due to illness, he quickly got tired. Pavlo was born prematurely, with pathologies. He had a rare syndrom Currarino syndrome. In order for the boy to walk, numerous operations were needed. Mom worked as a nurse, there was not enough money. Mariupol people gathered all over the city for help the family for the treatment. The boy spent most of his life in hospitals.

"From birth, he fought for this life. Despite all the difficulties with his health, he always remained a cheerful child," said Olena.

He was the only child in Mariupol with such a complex diagnosis. We hoped that together we would be able to put him back on his feet," volunteer Natalya Avliyakulova added.

Only the grandfather survived.
