Report or ignore the weird troll that pops up on Ukraine War threads. They're looking to rile you up.

Ukraine denies orchestrating the car bombing, and since all they've done so far is send drones to Crimea or just over their eastern border, it doesn't sound too plausible that they'd be able to send saboteurs to install a car bomb in a target's car in the heart of Russia.

Which begs the question: Who did it and why?

Is it a false flag operation by Putin's government to torture or execute Ukrainian POWs, or step-up attacks? But right now both armies are taking a breather because they've run out of able bodies. Is it the work of anti-war or anti-ultranationalist Russians?

Car bombings have been rare in Russia for several decades now. This is very mysterious.

They won't. They've been cowed for centuries.

Russian history isnt your strong suit.

Yes, they've had revolutionary moments. But the broad swath of their history has been strongmen leaders and acquiescent serfs. They don't have culture of bottom-up governance that is required for anything approaching modern liberal democracy. You can see it in the dramatically different trajectory of Ukrainian politics. Ukraine has a ways to go, but they are on a whole different path.

There are no cultural differences between Russians and Ukrainians politically. Whoever says otherwise is just reading talking points.

Ukrainians say otherwise, and yes those are their talking points.

Dragging out the Ukraine operation will cause chaos inside Russia.

More of these will happen. But we can’t give Ukraine too many weapons and they win quickly.

Drag this out for a decade.

Hoping to drag out a genocide for another decade is probably the sickest thing I've ever read on here.

+1000

That’s monstrous.

Interesting. The man in question was supposed to get in the car with his daughter, but at the last minute he changed his mind. There's a video circulating online supposedly showing him on the sidewalk watching the car go up in flames.

Knock off american restaurants are common and Russia already had fake McDonalds in addition to the real McDonalds. McDonalds is now selling its stores to the fake chain.

They're running out of spare airplane and train parts. The land mass of Russia is enormous. Stars Coffee isn't going to help move goods and people.

Honestly, the Russians are used to going without. Only a tiny % of Russians can afford Star coffee and Donald's hamburgers anyways.
