Okay, let's end this slapfight and move on with the discussion.
YouTube has made a stupid decision, refusing to monetize any Russian channels going forward:

As has been pointed out by some (including our own Mr. Tickle), this is a horrible decision, as this simply hurts independent media in Russia, which is badly needed right now.
Pokerstars has also joined the no-Russia bandwagon:

The Russian responding above has a point, though. If they're really freezing accounts and not allowing withdrawals, that's just fucking their players, and not taking a stand for anything.
Some people responding to the tweet stated that "Putin made the decision for Pokerstars, they have no choice", and they're not referring to the Ukraine invasion. I'm not understanding. How did Putin make it impossible for Pokerstars to continue processing deposits/withdrawals? Something involving the banking system? Does Stars use crypto at all?
You have guys in this site running around calling everybody n-words along with their children, a maternity ward bombed, Putin threatening to nuke numerous countries, numerous usa power grids at risk for being shut off, and the point you choose to try and get this thread back on track is what about the Russian pokerstars players?
Yes let’s keep our head in the sand.
This is a poker site, so it's relevant.
Also, in the same post I mentioned YouTube, which is a real issue for Russian independent journalists.
The truth is that nothing posted here will ever affect the situation in Ukraine, so this is just a place for us to discuss various issues surrounding it among ourselves.
Has there ever been a more unlikable person than this Zelenskyy guy? Sounds like he wants WW3 more than Putin does.
Constantly pushing for no fly zones, asking for more help and now saying Putin is bluffing (poker related) about using nukes.

NATO should be negotiating with Putin to help him take over Ukraine with concessions on settling for that.
The current hurt on American consumers isn’t worth caring about this comedian.
Tell that to the (mainly leftist, but some centrists and righties also) masses, who seem to adore him.
The closest public figure analogy I can make for him recently is Michael Avenatti. Became a hero to the left for standing up to bad Orange man, women's panties getting wet over him, some idiots even calling for him to run for president. Everyone kinda "Homer backing into the bushes" once it was revealed how big of an idiot crook he actually was.
It's obvious to anyone that the order of people to blame for this is Zelenskyy>>>NATO/US>>>Putin. If you think this is solely on Putin, you are 1 of 2 people:
1: An ultra-nationalist American (or other Western countries) who thinks we do no wrong and Russia is the eternal enemy
2: Someone who would have simply allowed the USSR to plant nukes 90 miles from the US
Russia is following the US playbook from 1960's Cuba, with a dash of 2004 Iraq mixed in for shits and giggles ("denazifying Ukraine").

#BREAKING: Meta changes hate speech policy, says Facebook and Instagram users may call for violence against Russians, Putin's assassination.
Let the (corporate approved) hate flow, goy!!
Obviously, Reuters (owned by the Rothschilds) is fake news but you guys know how DJ gets his panties all wadded up.
Kamella is now in Europe to save the day
There is independent media but there is none in russia if people speak out they are subject to arrest. We have independent media from our country and others just wanted to reiterate. When a niece called her uncle he threated to report her location. People in Russia have no idea what is going on because its total blackout news wise inside of Russia. People only know what the powers at be tell them.
BREAKING: Zelenskyy says he’s ready to negotiate with Putin. Ready to make concessions.
Epoch Times and Russia Today reporting. Israel is hosting the talks.
Rumor gas it Iran just attacked the US consulate in Iraq.
