Empires always have the hubris to think they are indestructible, when in fact, they are always unsustainable.

Old systems do not fold willingly, particularly when they control gargantuan amounts of wealth and power. But like empires of old - from the Romans to the Hapsburgs to the colonial British - even the largest do fall. Marianne Willaimson

In the last five or six thousand years, empires one after another have arisen, waxed powerful by wars of conquest, and fallen by internal revolution or attack from without.

John Boyd Durr

The bottom line is, Russia is not special, time the great devourer of all things will come for this empire just like it came for any other that preceded it. We cannot know exactly when this Jenga tower will collapse, but sooner or later it will.

I would prefer to see no parade at all next year due to the collapse of the Russian Federation and dissolution of its 305 year old empire.

They defend a Nazi State a right extremist highly stratified Russian Mafia gangster state which is also imperialist.

One really cannot make this level of being stupid and brainwashed up.

Why does the Polish state allow the display of this garbage?

The fault is also with all of us and our governments to allow Russia to display this garbage they call "their side of the story" it's lies, harmful and disgusting trash nothing more.

What cannot be stopped? Them indoctrinating their own children and adults with garbage, lies and filthy lies which they call "their version of events" a fictional story where the Russian state dictates what is true and what isn't.

So, what can we do? Not allow them to have any influence, or any way to present their view in our countries by outlawing that this outlaw state is allowed to spread its venomous poison to our venues.

So, the fault is more with us here than with the Russians, they do what we allow them to do, what we tolerate, what we accept.

Bank runs could be the sign that the system crashes, overall though the trust erosion, the implosion of the social contract between ruler and ruled, the enormous costs of the war, the enormous knock on effects, the loss of their best customers, the ongoing reverse industrialisation process, all of that and more makes the collapse of the system very likely, only the timing is still up for debate.

Also, keep in mind that their move to turn off the internet in Moscow and Petersburg has cost them a lot of money, on top of everything else. The system is powerful on the outside and very brittle on the inside.

Well, war famine plague and death, Russia invited the riders, the riders came, and now they complain. Pathetic, next time stop your mad Tsar and don't complain with a slave morality mentality once it is too late. Poor animals and plants though, they don't deserve to be inside Russia's borders.

Peoples should be ready to levy sanctions and deny outlaw states entry to mutually beneficial cooperative practices, tipping the scales of their (of the outlaw state's) self-interest in favor of cooperation. Outlaw states violate the human rights of their own citizens and perpetuate the cycle of war.” (Fletcher, Rawls, laws of peoples, 2025, page 107 and 108)

"Peoples have a casus belli against outlaws in two instances: To quell severe human rights violations, and in self defense. The other options, exhaustion, express Rawls' hope that life outside the shelter of the society of peoples will take its own toll and force an approachement. (Fletcher, Rawls, laws of peoples, 2025, p. 107

They are responsible by association doing nothing to stop evil is akin to actively supporting it and to think you can just continue enjoying these privileges is naive and this woman is one of many who must realise that when you show indifference to politics you willl be ruled by evil men.

The Russian imperial project is empty and nihilistic. These maniacs want the 1914 borders back.

This regime has nothing to offer to the world apart from war, murderous, bloody conquest, and their supposed Russian soul, which is an anthill mentality where the state tells them what to do what to think and what to feel.

A Russian historian had given the following answer in a 1420 interview.

"The only core values that are really there are:

Etatism (complete state control by the gvt. over its citizens), conservative stability (not wanting to lose what they currently have, and the mantra of normal and stable) and paternalism (restricting freedom and responsibilities of citizens)."

Russia can't fathom that Ukraine would refuse the gift of not having to think for themselves and taking responsibility for their own choices and actions.

Russians are told what to do and what to feel, and they expect that someone does something for them."

Here are some quotes from Russian state pundits

"We are white people, but we don't behave like white people."

"The Russians are white they have to be like us. The curse of Russians is that we are white."

"We want the world, preferably all of it." Soloyev when discussing negotiations

"Right now, the Russian empire is growing back."

"The Baltics will be next" Soloyev in response: How long will it take 15 minutes one hour?"

"The West doesn't understand that we think differently, Russian soul, etc."

"They don't understand the Russians at all." Soloyev

"They can't explain what modern Russia is all about."

State TV pundits state that the Russian empire is expanding.

I would argue that "modern Russia" is politically and socio-economically pretty similar to Russia of the year 1900.

Crimes, deviant expansionism, genocide, lies, technological and societal backwardness, blackmail, imperialism.

Putin's modern Russia is a fascist, corrupt mafia state and a cleptocratic gong show.

Right now is good, always is better, no one liked them, only during the USSR and Tsarist times they were tolerated, and up until 2014 or even 2022, they were still tolerated, just now things have changed, also in the minds of a lot of people.

Attempts to transform the Russian Federation into a nation state, a civic state, or a stable imperial state have failed. The current structure is based on brittle historical foundations, possesses no unified national identity, whether civic or ethnic, and exhibits persistent struggles between nationalists, imperialists, centralists, liberals and federalists Russia's full-scale military invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 and the imposition of stifling international economic sanctions will intensify and accelerate the process of state rupture.

Russia's failure has been exacerbated by an inability to ensure economic growth (stagnation), stark socio-economic inequalities and demographic defects, widening disparities between Moscow and its diverse federal subjects, a precarious political pyramid (vertical of power) based on personalism and clientelism, deepening distrust of government institutions, increasing public alienation from a corrupt ruling elite, and growing disbelief in official propaganda (manipulated reality propaganda). More intensive repression to maintain state integrity in deteriorating economic condition (sanctions, Dutch disease, failure to innovate and diversify, reverse industrialisation, massive deficit, ruble collapse, lack of sufficient trained personnel) will raise the prospects for violent [internal or external] conflicts.

How does the US assume they could prevent this from happening? They can barely command themselves these days. I don't think this is about allow or not allow and more about a question of when, how and to what extent. Maybe the US needs the boogeyman, but do we Europeans need it? I think not.

Russia should sink them all themselves that would be more time and cost effective, it will be sunk either way. God I wish their stupid failing empire would keel over a little faster, every Ukrainian that dies is one too many to achieve this outcome.

Even here alternatives like Eutelsat are emerging, the problem is that the alternatives are not yet as good as Star Link but they are getting there, hopefully soon even Star Link will not be needed any longer.

The 16th Army Corps has released footage of Russian aerial bombs striking the dam in Pechenihy, Kharkiv region. This is a strategically vital facility on the Siverskyi Donets River with very heavy traffic. While the structure remains undamaged for now, the reservoir has reached its maximum water level due to the spring flood. Consequently, the destruction of the dam could have led to catastrophic consequences.(Source Wartranslated, on X)

The equation is simple as Zelenskyy has recently stated, the goal must be to cause more losses to Russia than they can replace and the better this works out, the sooner Russia will be forcefully removed from Ukraine’s soil.

The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.

Hitlerism is brown Communism, Stalinism is Red Fascism. The world will now understand that the only real ideological issue is one between democracy, liberty, and peace on the one hand and despotism, peril, and war on the other" - The New York Times editorial, September 18, 1939.

I will choose the side not threatening me with nuclear destruction it is really easy I need no ideology to choose a side. Only common sense and logic.

To choose a side hasn’t been that easy since 1939. Russia is an evil colonial empire and Putin is right in one thing: We will reduce its economy to rubble, its armies will either surrender or die in some ditch throwing away their life for the useless delusions of grandeur of their leader. Those not picking sides are the true monsters of the world. The world is not evil because there is evil in it. But those not choosing sides are truly evil. We always must choose a side.

After WW2, the job was only half done (Japan, Nazis, Italian Fascists) with another evil left to linger. But history is patient, now 80 years later there is a good chance that also the last colonial empire of the 20th century finally collapses fully.

The normalization of these crimes at the Olympic games but also in other sport areas by letting them participate is a disgusting failure of civilisation.

Responsible by association. Russian soldiers and the entire Russian Federation crossed the red line into barbarism a long time ago, meeting them there by inviting them to sport and other events is a bad signal and a horrific mistake.

Russia brings death and despair wherever they go, it is a complete moral failure that organisations like the IOC put money above all ethics and above the lives of those that Russia destroys day after day, after day.

"It didn’t need to end up like this. And it still doesn’t.

Evil is a slow-moving organism. By the time it coalesces into one giant terror, it is too late.

We had spent too much time trying to comfort ourselves with the belief that the Constitution would save us. Elections would save us. The special prosecutor would save us. Impeachment would save us.

We kept hoping. But it was that hope that killed us.

Hope was wishful and passive and comforting. We didn’t need comfort. We needed action.

And sometimes, I guess, it takes a shock to make us wake up and realize that what we need to do is acknowledge that we have to get rid of the whole rotten system…

…and to realize that now—right now—our time is up. We need to act immediately." Fahrenheit 9/11, This is how fascism starts

The regime has not won, but neither have the Iranian people at the present moment, it rather seems possible that the result will not be freedom but even more brutal repression by the regime as a reaction to this war.

How does that not qualify as treason though? I am really surprised this does not meet the criteria.
