No, it can't.

Think you seriously need help, dude. You takin' your meds?

I think it's funny you can see the US government regularly lie to the population, for example:

There was NEVER any intention of passing that $2,000 "stimulus check". Ever.

But you think Russia's government can be trusted. That's what you are saying.

What's a little annoying is that I can see consistent patterns and because I apply these observations not to just my government, but ALL governments, you think this makes me crazy - well really, you're just insulting me because I dismiss claims that y...

If the rumors of Putin's illness are true, then I believe that he is implementing his legacy, whatever that is, before he departs this earth.

There's no such thing as a supreme leader, people can only operate with the co-operation of the people below them, and there's always people above them. There's the fanciful idea of the pyramid structure, put people oversee and are overseen by groups of people. Putin isn't in control, a group is, and with that group it's circular oversight - A is over B is over C is over A.

Putin isn't in the control that the mythology claims he is. This is a construct. The US ALWAYS does this. Kim Jong Un is not supreme leader. He's supreme figurehead, just as Putin is. If Putin drops dead tomorrow, there will be no change in policy and Putin doesn't control policy, at best, he has some limited input to it.

Putin has more control than Biden does of course, Biden is purely a figurehead and has no oversight. Obama and Bush Jr. were purely puppets as well.

WRT to Russian bill, it is a win-win for them. They get cannon fodder to throw against Ukrainians AND save on retirement payments as old farts are utilized!

Assuming that they actually get any volunteers.

They have their methods to persuade their subjects to volunteer RIGHT FUCKING NOW.

I question if they are actually volunteers, yes.
