    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?

      Might be the only thing Putin fears is revolution. I would think the risk of that increases in response to food scarcity being more common.

      Or it’s just a worthless apology.

        In that case, it’s sad that he doesn’t think the Russian people would revolt over sending hundreds of thousands of them to die in a pointless war.

      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!
