That's what Putin wants people to think. Whether you are or not, your rhetoric us Magadonian.

These days not even Brad Pitt is Brad Pitt

What a moron!

Heard of the constitution, Bubba?

Nothing to do with public schools.

In that case you're talking nuclear winter.

Of course you do.

Putin made a deal with the people. Stay out of politics and I will provide stability. The mobilization widely hitting Moscow would put pressure on Russian elites to make a big change away from Putin as they would smell total failure. Right now Putin is trying to shield himself with a big purge of anyone but relatives and extreme loyalists He knows he is in trouble. He is not God. He is headed for downfall He's holding out for November hoping Trump wins.

The opposite.

Yes there have! But it has mostly hurt Russians that the Moscow elites don't care about.

What's your complaint?

Possibly. Getting there would be a big sign of failure of the plan. Russian political culture murders weakness and failure.

No, they're not ready yet, but the trend is that they're waking that they have no choice but to counter the dictatorship axis. However if the Putin adjacent fascist forces take too much power within the west, especially if Trump takes power again in the U.S., then things will be looking quite grim.

Trump couldn't describe his so called foreign policy to save his life. He's only running to dodge prison. He cares only about himself.

Tastes are subjective. If I could afford anywhere, Palm Spring wouldn't be on my list. Huntington, Birmingham, and Montgomery AL offer some cultural amenities. Gary IN is F list, not D list. I'm aware of the Hindu thing of old people letting go of material things to become spiritual wanderers. If they want. As stated before, for me personally repatriating to any place in the US is a third choice after staying in Thailand or moving to a third country like Mexico. But I'm sure many others on a budget put retiring in the US as the most desirable.

Have you checked out the Philippines? Countless beach area options and if you want a cool weather hill city try Baguio City. OP says he's interested in Sihanoukville Cambodia. NO NO NO! Unless you're a Chinese "businessman" forget it. A ruined city. Yes retirement visas super easy in Cambodia, much easier than Thailand. I could probably live in Siam Reap but nowhere near a beach.

They definitely will do no such thing. Sorry, they're just not that into us. Come and open a legitimate business, have special skills, marry a local probably, and then you're talking. FORGET ABOUT VIETNAM for regular retired expats.

So what else is new? Isn't the restaurant business plagued with high failure rates pretty much everywhere?

He obviously does. Many people do. Sides are being hardened.

He's afraid of his inner circle offing him.

More red meat for the Christian white nationalist Magadonians.

In other words Ukraine should surrender stolen lands for a temporary ceasefire while Russia regroup for future waves and makes all of Ukraine a slave state like Belarus. Thanks but no thanks

Unfortunately for the time being Putin still has plenty of cannon fodder but he knows if he ever needs to mobilize many in Moscow that his days will be numbered. He goes for the far provincials and ethnic minorities.

Well I'm hopeful that the Russian economy will collapse from within but as long as Putin or a replacement is keeping up his imperialist ambitions the draft dodgers will do all they can to avoid returning.

No. Stop lying. I never said that. For example I strongly disagree with John Merscheimer but I respect him as an academic and intellectual and have never seen him as a Putin butt boy.
