India to prop up Russia's war economy, to provide 1 million workers.

Russia's backers in this war, number no less than one half of humanity. And that's direct action to support the war, let alone the wider economic and or political sentiment.
The 21st Century's bloodshed has only just begun. Those who want for that blood, need to be sated. They force our hand, it is our duty to give them the bloodshed they so desire.

I think this is more of a 'pr' piece; Russia can't pay them and as many foreign workers learn working in Russia can be a death sentence as they become front-line meat. I don't expect this to amount to many real workers as they resist going to Russia despite the false 'promise' of pay.

Oh this bromance breakup has potential for some drama. I really really hope it solidifies in his rotten brain just to what degree Putin has been tooling with him.

-India's whole schtick is making sure Russia doesn't become China's vassal state, because that would be really bad news for India.

Russia and China know this, and you end up with a truly fucked geopolitical love triangle.

Does he know where Petersburg is?

Sure. He'll let you know in a couple of weeks. And knowing Trump, if he's pressed on this, he'll probably say something like "S. Petersburg is in St. Petersburg next question, no not you MSNBC you fake news people are mean to me."

Don't count on it. Donald's ego has been stroked so many times thinking he's got a very special relationship with Putin he's not apt to abandon revisiting it. I don't think he's souring on that so much as responding to influences favoring Ukraine. Just who and what that is I don't know, but that trend is hopefully going to continue to develop.

The only way to end badly is that Xi is involved. Is like the GF trying to get with the toxic BF, but he is with another GF which has the domination of the relationship.

I think Trump hates being associated with losers and he’s slowly and begrudgingly realizing that Russia is the biggest loser on the planet right now. He doesn’t give a shit how many Ukrainian children die while he hems and haws. He would be happy to watch both countries burn to the ground if he thought it made him look strong.

The "special military operation" could be ruinous for Russia. It's happened to them before; they paid the heaviest price in WW2.

Chemical weapons are not worth the massive headache. It took decades to destroy the stockpiles and nobody in the west wants to bother with that again.

Use of lethal chemical agents against western troops would generate a most severe response. Like we vaporize Kaliningrad kind of severe.

I'm a "NO" on the chemical weapons. We're already really fucking good at killing enemies with the kinetic weapons we already have. No real reason to go down that road.

I feel like the Iraq war and maybe The Rock made the average American vastly overestimate the effectiveness of chemical weapons in a military context.

If anything The Rock is an advertisement for the hazards, even to people who might use them, of such weaponry.

Besides I’m sure Trump would be willing to drop a nuke so he could be the second “great” president to use one.

If Russia continues like that, the next step is biological weapons, that could lead directly into a war.
