^ I dunno, Grom. Our birth rates and plummeting. We're being mismanaged into extinction while the elites import our replacements from the Third World.

while the elites import our replacements from the Third World
[HotAir] It remains to be seen what the Ukrainian invasion of Russia will accomplish on the battlefield or how long it will even last. Nevertheless, there are some signs that the invasion is causing some Russians, and not just the ones currently being evacuated from their homes, to turn on President Putin.
While news outlets in Russia have tried to put a more positive spin on the developments in the war, focusing on the Russian government’s humanitarian response, some Russian social media users have expressed discontent.
Many of the online postings, according to the analysis by FilterLabs AI, say Ukraine’s advance is a failure of the Russian government and, more specifically, Mr. Putin...
"Putin’s response to the incursion was seen as inadequate at best and insulting at worst," said Jonathan Teubner, the chief executive of FilterLabs...
"If Putin’s prestige and popularity fall in these key regions (especially if Russians feel that the war is going badly), the Kremlin may find it more difficult to fill its military ranks," the FilterLabs analysis said.
Discontent on social media is one thing but last weekend another Russian mercenary leader posted a video calling for Putin's ouster. His name is Georgy Zakrevsky and he's the founder of a mercenary group called PMC Paladin.
"Our country is not just on the brink of disaster or already right next to it, our country is already in trouble, in big trouble," he warned in the recording. "Drones are flying all over central Russia, right up to Moscow and St. Petersburg. They even attacked the Kremlin."
"Our Black Sea fleet is being pushed out. It's being pushed out as if we are not a great power with a great fleet, but some third-rate country," he continued. "Our aviation is practically not working because it is also being pushed out. We are standing in the same positions that we took more than two years ago, and partly in those to which we retreated."
From there he went on to mock "the Great Putin."
"The population is dying out, becoming impoverished, drinking itself to death - no one cares.
"All they have time to do is bring in migrants. And all this was done by the so-called 'president' - 'The Great' Putin."
The video has been extensively distributed among the Russian army and clearly presents an alarming threat to the Kremlin.
The video also includes a call to people serving in the trenches, saying they already know how bad things are.
It's impossible to know what kind of reception this has received from other soldiers, but obviously this is all very reminiscent of Prigozhin's turn on Putin. He also criticized the conduct of the invasion for months and finally set off for Moscow, apparently with the intent of removing Putin from power. Prighozin got cold feet and, as we all know, ended up dying in a plane crash not long after pledging his allegiance to Putin.
Unlike Prigozhin, Zakrevsky only has about 300 mercenaries in his company. So he's not about to attempt any kind of military coup on his own, but he is calling for a march on Moscow. Maybe this goes nowhere or maybe we're seeing the signs that a lot of Russians have had enough of Putin and are ready for something else.

[NY Post] Yahya Sinwar, the new head of Hamas, tossed yet another wrench into Gaza cease-fire talks with a rumored demand for a "Don’t kill me" clause in any deal with Israel. A shallow bully demonstrating the weakness of his faith
The mastermind of the Oct. 7 atrocities reportedly wants Jerusalem to guarantee his safety — permanently.
Never mind his years of tough talk that it would be an honor to die fighting Israel, nor his opposition to any cease-fire before his recent rise to head the terror group.
Then again, he won the top job after the assassination of former Hamas chief Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran last month: Seems that has Sinwar second-guessing the importance of his honor.
Is Israel’s relentless elimination of Hamas leaders getting too close?
It’s up to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu whether to appease Sinwar with this promise; if it can get the remaining 109 hostages back, perhaps it’s worth a pledge (with fingers crossed behind Bibi’s back).
Hamas began this war by violating the cease-fire in effect on Oct. 6; it remains dedicated to Israel’s utter destruction and plainly means to use any new cease-fire to rearm so it can rape, kidnap and murder again.
And it’s absurd to think any promise of "hands off Yahya" would last an instant longer than what must be a temporary cease-fire, as Israel cannot let Hamas survive this war.
Play along with Sinwar’s cowardice all you like, Bibi: The only people who will even pretend to blame you or any other Israeli leader for OK’ing his assassination are those who share his hatred for the Jewish state.

maybe if Nancy, Barack, Chuck, Hakeem visited Sinwar they could persuade him to go into exile

A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
