1. Meanwhile, across the Russian border, this is what they're being told

It's a torrent of scaremongering and drivel that sounds more unhinged by the minute, but with a nugget of truth here and there.

So Russians are facing another period of collectivization, this time of any private business anyone has built up in order to either strip the profits to pay for the war or to devote whatever it is to the production of war toys for Putin. There are no lofty ideals to sustain anyone, just a bunch of horseshit that few people under 40 believe.

I love that Russians are stripping electronics from the stores, stuff the military needs because stripping Russia of its wealth to buy overseas real estate and big yachts meant such things couldn't be manufactured domestically--who knew? I also love the obvious sabotage going on within Russia, threatened deballing and all.

Their government is beyond evil but nothing's wrong with the people.
