#Russia labels #Sweden as Nazis for seeking NATO membership https://nu.federati.net/url/286267 [www dailymail co uk]
What did you expect? When you invade your neighbor and everyone can see that there are two reasons (they gave up their nukes and they had not been absorbed into NATO) why it happened, what else are your other neighbors going to do?

From 2022-03-23: Someone claims that members of #Russia's FSB are planning a coup over the consequences of the war in #Ukraine.
I don't see an FSB coup happening. Having been involved in the spy agency, #Putin knows what they are capable of doing, and he's naturally going to keep a very close watch on them.

#Ukraine sinks two patrol boats near Snake Island. #Russia has no comment.
Also, ninth general reported killed.

I should clarify that this is a summary of what their comment says, not my own opinion.
I think the nuclear threats are because he backed himself into a corner by promising quick success in the #invasion of #Ukraine ... #Russia can still continue the #war for some time before running out of options. (Without considering the option of overthrowing #Putin, as I consider that unlikely until and unless the Russian military leaders see total military collapse in their near future.)
As for if or when a nuclear exchange will start, I profess complete lack of knowledge. He's a would-be world emperor, so seeing his path forward stymied could trigger an attack at any time. Or he could sit in the corner crying that those meanies prevented him from righting the (in his mind) wrong that was the breakup of the Soviet Union. It is anyone's guess which will happen.

#Putin's nuclear dick-waving is because he's rapidly running out of options besides nukes and admitting failure of #Russia's #invasion of #Ukraine

#Ukraine offers official video source for war info. I like the way they are so effective at promoting their PoV that #Russia seems to be off-balance ... except among the extreme right-wingers who have taken everything that comes out of Putin's mouth as gospel truth, sent from above.

Something I don’t understand: rightist Holocaust deniers love to bring up the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holodomor in response to discussion of Nazi atrocities, but suddenly forgot all that when #Putin’s #Russia starts a war against #Ukraine.

As much as I agree that a revolt by top military and political leaders against Vladimir Putin would be the best outcome (embarrassment-free exit from the current war; see the 1917 Revolution and its impact on World War I), I believe that all such leaders are aware of his KGB background and the likelihood that he's had their every move and conversation recorded and reported since he first ascended to the throne.
I expect that it would be exceedingly difficult to arrange such a revolt without tipping him off in advance.
If you're a leader in #Russia, please do it anyway, but you should have no illusion that he's not watching for just such a plot.

This 1980s warship was the flagship of the Black Sea fleet.
#Ukraine apparently did this with a missile they developed based on old #USSR designs. This is an embarrassing loss for #Russia. I'm sure the #RU Black Sea fleet is still a potent force, but they're now seen as vulnerable to #UA's weapons.

I would expect many of them to parrot the claims that the massacres in #Ukraine are fake, not done by #Russia.
