Quite sickening really.
Power and weapons and hate speech.
And the Russian people not aware of Ukrainian rape and murder of thousands.
This is as filthy a spectacle as is possible to behold.
This is mankind in 2022. |  |

I was expecting more of a rabble rousing speech from Putin.
Vulgar. | | | |

What's happening in Ukraine is being disseminated throughout Russia, not in sufficient quantities maybe but it is being spoken about . But when you live in an overtly repressive state with the threat of arrest for what we would consider basic human freedoms then its being spoken about in hushed tones, . We have seen the recent arrests for simply declaring "No War " yet alone for more vociferous protests. Things we take for granted are denied others yet some on here seem to think Russia are the good guys ?
there's nowt strange as folk | |

These kinds of things go on in many places though, we all love to see our armed forces parading, the Tattoo in Scotland, there are always armed forces displays at big local events, we have the air show in Swansea and there's always military aircraft and we love it.
If the world was a better place maybe we wouldn't love it but, the world is a rotten place, rotten to the core. | | | |

It's all about a display of power. Russia is just trying to show it's more powerful but we have seen in Ukraine how powerful it really is, nukes aside.
I don't know what kind of thing they do in the USA. | | | |

It reminded me of the Nuremberg rallies, the Regime is pathetic and so are there people who are so stupid they believe the propaganda, at least the German people at that time did not have any outlets to educate them as to what was going on these idiots have social media and plenty of other outlets despite the regime censoring a lot of it, they are even told by there children who actually live in the Ukraine of the atrocities being carried out there yet the idiots still refuse to believe it.

They do it because of their own insecurities. It’s a warning to their own people as well as others, with huge amounts of shiny helmets. | | | |

Can anyone on here give us some kind of indication of how the mind of the average Russian works ?
Up until fairly recently they would not have had a great deal of access to news from outside Russia. So they would base their beliefs on what they'd hear within Russia.
Since the advent of the internet they must all have at some point seen what the outside world is like. And regardless of the many problems in the West they surely must have understood that so much of what they'd been told was lies. | | | |

I know. That's my point. They can see we don't need to be 'de-natzified' (apparently they've said that about the West generally not just Ukraine).
So if they can see that they know their leaders are simply lying. So it must be that they are willing to accept their lot out of fear of what would happen if they speak out. | | | |

Funnily enough my sisters in law are currently in the Antalya area of Turkey where some resorts are the Russian / Ukrainian equivalent of Brits visitng Benidorm.
They got an incredibly cheap deal - apparently because it is so quiet and many hotels and attractions haven't opened for the season. Ukrianians aren't able to visit for obvious reasons, but the Russians aren't there either. I wonder why? | | | |

The Russians have pretty strict controls on the internet but they have been looking to replicate aspects of the systems the Chinese use to completely control what people see on the internet. It’s more difficult for the Russian government to control access because the “genie is out of the bottle” whereas the Chinese have always imposed total control on what their people can see.
Russia has a population of over 140m, to travel internally and externally people need passports. Approximately 20m external passports have been issued over the last 10 years which is less than 20% of the population. The average wage is around £750per month so a large section of the population probably can’t afford to travel abroad,I’d imagine most of the people with the money who can afford to travel will probably be connected to the “establishment” and won’t want to rock the boat!! | | | |

I believe, not many Americans have passports either. The majority don't travel overseas and many don't even leave their state
Russians have Id documents like many countries, but I don't think it's specifically for travel | | | |

My figures are from statista.
I think you are using UGOV POLL RESULTS where Americans were asked if the had a valid passport
Yes have a valid passport 37%
Never had a passport 38%
Expired passport 20%
Don't know 5%
So your claim that not many people from the USA have a passport or travel outside the USA is wrong when 57% of the population either have a passport or had a passport. [Post edited 16 May 2022 6:22]
