This is the very reason the US did away with the draft and started a public campaign of "support the troops" People were protesting Vietnam because of the draft. Now if you don't support whatever bullshit war they put us in you're attacking the troops CreepingDeath, MadMax, luvyablue256, and 2 others 4 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ctm Posted September 26, 2022 Report Share Posted September 26, 2022 Russian President Vladimir Putin escaped to his secret palatial complex near Lake Valdai, halfway between Moscow and St Petersburg, amid anti-draft protests in Russia, MailOnline was first to report. According to independent journalist Farida Rusamova, who cited three sources familiar with Putin's schedule, the Russian president traveled to his vacation home on Wednesday. Rusamova said that Putin left for his palace the day a video was released, showing him announcing partial military mobilization on Wednesday. Widespread protests broke out across Russia after Putin announced that 300,000 reservists would be ordered to fight in the country's war on Ukraine. Hundreds of Russians, including girls as young as 14 years old, have been arrested while participating in the unsanctioned rallies, banned under Russian law, according to reports. OVD-Info said 724 people were detained across 32 different cities on Saturday, per BBC News. The protests have taken place in cities including Moscow, St Petersburg, Tomsk, and Omsk, Sky News reported. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/putin-has-escaped-to-a-secret-palace-in-a-forest-amid-anti-draft-protests-in-russian-cities-report-says/ar-AA12dz38?ocid=msedgntp&cvid=e98025e2cf464505a6a63b3976b785f7#image=AA12dCK0|2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starkiller Posted September 27, 2022 Report Share Posted September 27, 2022 Not sure why Russia would have any incentive to attack their own pipelines though. And both were effectively inactive at this point since Germany stopped importing Russian LNG. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And both were effectively inactive at this point since Germany stopped importing Russian LNG. To raise prices Pretty sure Denmark was still using it as were another good portion... and I also don't think germanyis fully off yet. That said a former Polish PM thinks we did it and thanked us for it while laughing at Putin. Poland also just completed a new pipeline from Norway so thats pretty interesting.... Also, from several reports it seems that Europe shouldnt be too hurt by it and maybe just have a little rougher of a winter but not too bad. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-09-27/europe-is-ready-for-a-winter-without-russian-gas-bnef-says?leadSource=uverify wall Edited September 27, 2022 by titanruss Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
titanruss Posted September 27, 2022 Report Share Posted September 27, 2022 saw this on reddit. Russia can export gas in 3 ways: Yamal pipeline Brotherhood pipeline Nord Stream 1 Pipeline Nord Stream 1 is damaged. If Russia wants to sell gas to Germany, they have to use Brotherhood, and that will req talking with Ukrainians... or Yamal and that will req talking with Poles.
