I miss the days when being canadian was like living above a relatively peaceful meth lab.
Guys, you know there's a limit to our niceness, right?

Thank you for your attention to this matter! Thank you for supporting Ukraine and a better future for us all.
Despite how gargantually russia is fucked, Ukrainians still urgently need support all day, every day. Don't forget to support @toonietuesday.bsky.social today!

Слава Україні!

But he's a madman destroying russia and him staying alive will ensure the doom of his regime. In a twisted way, him being able to keep his oligarchs down and submissive is playing against russia and its potential recovery.

#6: Putin himself: Speaking of oligarchs - most of them wish they could stop the war and return to business. Krasnov too. But not putin, no. His stubborness is the driving force that is pushing russia over the edge. He is the reason russia won't get a break to recover. He's a madman, yes.

Krasnov constantly think he's the smartest man in the room (or second smartest if putin is standing next to him) and fail to realize that putin's help and friendship end up being deadly. Just look at Maduro in Venezuela. Or all the oligarchs now trapped in the war.

#5: Krasnov: The US falling down the path of Belarus is worrying but the salvation here is that trump is an idiot who needs to surround himself with other idiots. He played his cards of withdrawing US support already and have no cards left to play. He is dragging the US along russia's collapse.

Not only does it means russia doesn't know how to maintain its own arsenal but it hasn't been maintained for over 10 years. Again: russian nukes don't work. Tell it to everybody so we stop being collectively so afraid of these violent morons.

The missile disintegrated on launch, basically. Here's a very interesting piece of information: up until 2014, it was Ukraine who had the know-how and the task of maintaining russian nuclear arsenal.

With his constant nuke threats it would have made sense to show the world what they are capable of as early as 2022. But he didn't. Because he knew they weren't likely to work. In a desperate attempt he tried anyway a few days ago and it confirmed it: russia can't even launch a single nuke.

#4: Russian nukes: Let's say flamingos start flying and refineries, factories and military bases are obliterated. A very warm christmas indeed. Would putin slams his tiny fist on the nuke button? Well, he recently tried to show his ICBM were ready to strike.

In order to do that Ukraine need a terrain map of russia, the largest stolen territory on earth. Ukraine Armed Forces are currently working on this issue. Once it is resolved, the Flamingos will fly. Those are not drones meant to damage cracking units on refineries. They are base destroyers.

#3: Flamingos: We haven't seen much of them despite Ukraine and Denmark producing them rapidly. This is because they would need to cruise at a very low altitude to avoid being too easily intercepted. To manage that they would need to avoid obstacles like tall trees and buildings.

The minute Kadyrov dies (he's not healthy btw), his young and inexperienced son has a target on his back. By both the FSB and Chechen rivals. The minute the money stop flowing from the Kremlin is also when Chenchnya might cecede. It might be the only remaining functioning army in russia.

The Kadyrovites effectively constitute an army within an army, and Putin has been buying the peace by sending them money even while russia economy was going down the drain. Now this money is runing out, and Kadyrovites (and Chenchens in general) are a powder keg of political instability.

#2: The Kadyrovites: They are loyal to Ramzan, no Putin. One of the reason they've been acting as tik tok warriors or shooting at retreating russians is because they did not want to spend their men in putin's war. They have been in fact building up, all the while receiving money from the Kremlin.

#1: The economy: it's gone so bad russia is now printing money. A lot of it. It is widely known by any economist worth their pound of borscht that this is a short-term, unsustainable method. It's the economic equivalent of a struggling body starting to shut organs off to save oxygen for the brain.

Russia's ICBM don't work.
Their maintenance was done by Ukraine. Not anymore, for years.
They recently failed a test launch, it was pathetic.

Keep up!
