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

Bitcoin donations to the Ukrainian military are soaring as Russia invades

Bitcoin donations to the Ukrainian army are soaring after Moscow launched a large-scale offensive against Ukraine early Thursday.

Fvcking cryptocurrencies.....they are one way around the sanctions but they have to try and atone for this by offering to be a donation site.

Financial sanctions are easier than ever for Russians to evade. Thank Bitcoin - CNN

On brand, Bonerfarts.

I know they don’t exactly have a choice, but was Belarus covered by the sanctions as well?

I believe so.

I’ll bet. Has everyone seen what a javelin does to a modern Russian tank?

Brother-on-brother wars tend to be the most brutal because they are not only about who’s “right”, but also about establishing historical narrative.

I'm hoping Putin goes out like Mussolini.

Strung upside down.

Supposedly he watched footage of Gadaffi being killed repeatedly and talks about it often. https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/world-news/putin-in-fear-being-killed-23444292

1,700 Russian anti war protestors now being detained.

Russian people need to stay strong and increase the dissent. Eventually they will run out of police and jail space. And murderong their citizens on the street is not a good look or option.

I wonder if the last 7 years have been the craziest in American history: Trump, coronavirus, now war in Ukraine.

Not counting the Civil War.

how does putin benefit from crytoc? he has 600B$ apparently which if swift ban happens he will have to convert into btc or doge and hope he doesn’t take a haircut? and after that whom does he transact with? assuming here we aren’t talking about small transactions.

If Russia moves south to Lviv, and then to the Moldavian (constitutionally neutral) border Ukraine is geographically isolated from NATO reinforcement.
I would presume that's the aim if the Russians are doing anything that far west.

Russian troops are already operating in Moldavia.

That would make Putin appear even more like Darth Vader to the rest of the free world.

I'm loving this thread, BTW. Great stuff.

No kidding. Great Job Nole Lou!

Astronauts, cosmonauts and now the world’s first kamikaze-nauts

Imagine being up there, watching a nuclear war unfold and realizing that no one's coming up to get you...

Transnistria?

Transnistria?

Ooooh.....if it's "Trans-anything", it's gonna piss off the GOP....

I think there is a movie about this.

If the Ukrainians can hold off and the Russian people keep protesting long enough Putin will run out of time and any goodwill he had with Russians.

Would love to see the emboldened Russian people make the 1989 Tiananmen Square protests look like a farmers market.

That protest freaked out China at the time. The possibility of the largest dissent of the people since the Bolshevik revolution should worry Putin. They can’t put them all in jail.

Protesting within Russia won't do anything, it's ignorant of history to think that it will

If Russian banks can’t make transactions overseas, then they’re really screwed!

 

[mustang_hawk]

This is probably gonna screw up Putin's plans as a keynote speaker at "CCCPAC"...

And trump was so looking forward to introducing him. That would have sealed the deal on trump Tower Moscow for sure.

Not sure if srs.
