    He apologized about eggs?

    What the absolute ever loving fuck? Sending hundreds of thousands of his own people to a meat grinder he can stop right now, but eggs he can apologize for?

    Where’s the strongman?

      It’s something that affects average Russian people.

      Don’t you remember when Americans were bitching about the price of eggs a few years ago? Basic ingredients are like gas. People notice when they go up in price.

        It was a single year ago that they went crazy. But this has been a weird time to keep track of time

        In that case, it’s sad that he doesn’t think the Russian people would revolt over sending hundreds of thousands of them to die in a pointless war.

          He just has to select the right people to send to stay in power

          No, but sending hundreds of thousands of able and almost able bodied poor men to die is a good way to prevent violent revolution

      I don’t get it - he funds American conservative politicians who have no trouble saying people shouldn’t rely on the government to solve their problems. Why not just say the same thing here? Especially since he can throw anybody who complains out the nearest window.
