As a Mongolian, the news of Russian President Vladimir Putin planning to visit Mongolia next week came as quite a surprise. Mongolia stands in a unique position, being legally obligated to arrest and hand over Putin to the International Criminal Court. The thought of such a scenario unfolding is both amusing and intriguing. The idea of Mongolia arresting a world leader as powerful as Putin seems like the stuff of movies, but in reality, it’s a complicated and delicate situation.
Mongolia, unfortunately, finds itself in a position of vulnerability due to its economic reliance on immediate neighbors like China and Russia.… Continue reading
It is absolutely crucial for Ukraine to stand firm in the face of Russian aggression and not concede even a single inch of their territory. The idea of giving up 30% of their land in exchange for peace is not only ludicrous but also sets a dangerous precedent for other aggressors around the world. Putin’s track record of broken promises and continued land grabs should not be ignored or rewarded in any way.
The history of Ukraine giving up their nuclear weapons under the promise of protection only to face invasion and annexation by Russia is a stark reminder of the need for self-defense.… Continue reading
Morning attack on Ukraine cost Russia almost US$1.3 billion. The sheer magnitude of this financial loss is staggering, highlighting the immense resources being poured into the ongoing conflict. Putin’s willingness to waste such a vast amount of money and manpower on destructive actions is perplexing. One can’t help but question what he hopes to achieve by continuing this senseless war. The reality is that the losses incurred during the war far outweigh any potential gains, leaving one to wonder about the ultimate goal of these aggressive actions.
The attack on Ukraine was nothing short of a terror campaign, targeting locations of little to no military value.… Continue reading
It’s truly disheartening to witness the ongoing conflict between Ukraine and Russia escalate to such dangerous levels. The recent threat of attacks on Moscow and St. Petersburg by Ukraine as a means to push Russia to negotiate is a bold move, to say the least. But when faced with an adversary like Putin’s regime, what other options are left on the table?
The invasion of Ukraine by Russia has been nothing short of a brutal display of power and aggression. What was supposed to be a swift victory for Russia turned into a humiliating realization of the weaknesses within the Russian military.… Continue reading
Putin’s attempts to downplay Ukraine’s Kursk offensive are becoming more desperate by the day. The stark denial of the invasion taking place in Kursk seems reminiscent of a dictator trying to control the narrative while the truth looms large in the background. The comparison to Hitler downplaying the Normandy invasion is eerily accurate, highlighting the dangerous path Putin is treading with his lies.
The round table “discussion” in the video where a propagandist instructs Russians to “shut up” about the Kursk offensive displays the uncomfortable reality of a leader trying to maintain a facade of strength in the face of mounting evidence.… Continue reading
Moscow under attack: Air defenses shoot down killer drones over Russian capital. As I sit here contemplating the recent events in Moscow, I can’t help but feel a sense of poetic justice unfolding before our eyes. For months, Russia has been wreaking havoc in Ukraine, bombing cities without a second thought, spreading chaos and destruction in its wake. Now, as killer drones hover over the Russian capital, it seems that the consequences of Putin’s imperialistic aggression are finally catching up with him.
The images of air defenses engaged in a battle against these drones are both unsettling and, in a way, satisfying.… Continue reading
The news from the Kremlin regarding the occupation of Kursk should come as no surprise, especially considering the propaganda machinery that is constantly at work. This attempt to normalize the occupation is just another example of the lengths to which the Russian government will go to maintain control over its narrative. The residents of Kursk must be reeling at this turn of events, the idea of being thrust into a new ‘normal’ that they never asked for. It begs the question of how many of them actually voted for Putin, only to find themselves in a situation they never imagined.
The fact that Russian state media is downplaying the occupation, almost dismissing it with a nonchalant “*meh, no big deal*”, is both concerning and telling.… Continue reading
It’s fascinating how dictators and autocrats have a common trait when it comes to taking responsibility. When things go well, they are quick to take credit and bask in the glory of success. However, when things go awry, suddenly it’s not their fault. This narrative seems to repeat itself throughout history, with leaders always finding scapegoats to blame for their failings.
In the case of Putin and the Kursk submarine disaster, it’s astounding to see how he tried to deflect responsibility. The Russian Navy’s sluggish, inept response to the tragedy resulted in unnecessary delays and loss of lives. Instead of owning up to the failures and taking decisive action, Putin continued his vacation and only authorized foreign assistance after precious time had passed.… Continue reading
As news circulates that Putin has declared Russia to be a ‘safe haven’ for individuals who want to swap out liberal Western ways for so-called Russian ‘moral values,’ a range of reactions has sparked thought-provoking discussions. The prospect of MAGA supporters self-deporting to Russia as suggested in online comments seems like a wild and improbable scenario. However, underneath the sarcasm lies a deep-seated frustration with the current political climate that has polarized societies to an alarming degree.
The idea of conservatives flocking to Russia to embrace their self-proclaimed values raises questions about the true nature of these ‘Russian moral values’ that are being peddled as an alternative to the West.… Continue reading
Alex Jones and his fans seem to be caught up in the allure of Putin’s offer to conservatives seeking sanctuary. The idea of fleeing to Russia to escape what they perceive as the “woke mind virus” in America appears to be gaining traction among a certain segment of the population. The prospect of starting fresh in a country that purportedly aligns more closely with their values seems to be too tempting to resist.
It’s both amusing and concerning to see the reactions of those eager for conservatives to pack their bags and head to Russia. The notion of individuals abandoning their homeland in favor of a foreign country, especially one with a controversial political leader like Putin, raises questions about loyalty and patriotism.… Continue reading
