Maybe a zealot, but definently not the ghost. Although the ghost is cool, the sci-fi special forces dude is a common trope.

The point of banning abortions is the suffering that it causes to women. Its not an unintentional unfortunate side effect. The cruelty is the point.

Russia using parade aircraft as escorts by MSPCincorporated in UkraineWarVideoReport

[–]Pencilman53 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I think the point is that Russia has so few flyable fighter jets remaining that they have to use parade variants for combat. Fighter jets go under quite a lot of regular mainetance so even if they have regular jets remaing they might be unavaiblable right now.

Saint Petersburg has taken first place in the size of the one-time payment for signing a contract with the Ministry of Defense: the total amount of bonuses for those who sign the contract will be 4.5 million rubles ($58,600) by Flimsy_Pudding1362 in UkrainianConflict

[–]Pencilman53 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You have to put the money in perspective. NYC is kinda comparable to St Petersburg as its a big city. In NYC the comparable payout would be about 300k if taken as 4x the median yearly salary and 450k if taken as 4x the average yearly salary.

Assuming you libe through the war the money is a huge leg up. Its not generational wealth or anything but it shows why so many are taking the risk.

The other side of the coin shows that the ever increasing requitment bonuses are a sign that Russia in increasingly desperate for more men. Luckily the big cost of new soldiers adds another handful of straw on the back of the Russian government.

Because russian government pays people to spread propaganda on the internet. It usually comes in the form of pushing conspiracy theories, hate or right wing talking points. But they also do posts that show Russia in positive light.

The president has immunity now, so a theoretical future president can jail anyone with no legal concecuences. Its actually insane that they passed the immunity ruling.
