Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

He apologized about eggs?

What the absolute ever loving fuck? Sending hundreds of thousands of his own people to a meat grinder he can stop right now, but eggs he can apologize for?

Where's the strongman?

It's something that affects average Russian people.

Don't you remember when Americans were bitching about the price of eggs a few years ago? Basic ingredients are like gas. People notice when they go up in price.

It was a single year ago that they went crazy. But this has been a weird time to keep track of time

I don't get it - he funds American conservative politicians who have no trouble saying people shouldn't rely on the government to solve their problems. Why not just say the same thing here? Especially since he can throw anybody who complains out the nearest window.

People dying in a war are to make Russia great and defend itself from the outside world. Or something like that and anyway who gives a fuck when it's not you and just some other random Russian who's probably a criminal anyway.

But eggs fuck that affects me and shows how shit the country is. Now that's a serious issue!
