President Vladimir Putin has granted Russian citizenship to NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden, Russia’s TASS news agency confirmed on Monday. The American’s name was included without fanfare on a list of 72 foreigners who became citizens.
Snowden, who applied for citizenship in 2020 upon receiving permanent residency rights, has not commented on the decision as of Monday evening Moscow time. His wife will also apply for citizenship, according to Snowden’s lawyer.

Unmasking NSA crimes was one of the greatest thing a millenial has ever done
All the winning.
Looks like all referendums passed with flying colors
Results from today: Kherson 63.58%, Zaporozhye 66.43%, LPR 83.16%, DPR 86.89%
The HIMARS votes are coming in and need to be tallied, so expect Ukraine to keep all its territories.
Ukraine update: 'Partial mobilization' becomes ethnic cleansing in Russia's outlying areas
Back in May, a poll showed that poor Russians—those most likely to have relatives in the military—were, unsurprisingly, the ones most likely to be against the invasion of Ukraine.
A majority of Russians who had trouble putting food on the table were either hesitant about continuing the war or straight-up wanted to withdraw from Ukraine.
At the other end of the scale, wealthy Russians were hugely in favor of watching poor people get slaughtered for sport.
Putin’s claim that this would affect only members of the reserves, and then only those with prior combat experience, is simply another lie.
University classes are already being hauled off as a group.
Protestors become instant conscripts.
Circulating lists of names suggest that over 1 million people are already facing conscription.
As always, the location of those names is far from equitable.
The numbers in major cities in the western part of Russia may be relatively small.
The numbers in the east are simply overwhelming.

Crimea Head:
“Soon we will pass a certain point of no return. A new status for the liberated territories will put an end to uncertainty,” the Crimean governor said. “They will become full-fledged subjects of the Russian Federation, and we will de facto stop conducting a special military operation and start a counter-terrorist operation on our own territory.”
so not only are they being conscripted, they're being forced to pay a large amount of money for supplies they should be provided for free otherwise they get sent to the gulag.

From October 1, German streets will be patrolled by the military to prevent riots
enjoy your european vacation nigs
The German army will start patrolling the streets as of October 1, 2022. Officially, this is not to enforce the new covid measures of Health Minister Karl Lautenbach, but it is of course convenient and it is also quite handy for when things get a bit cold and the Germans revolt.
Germany’s Defense Minister Christine Lambrecht and the Inspector General of the German Army (Bundeswehr), Eberhard Zorn announced a new army unit called “Bundeswehr Territorial Commando (TerrFüKdoBw)”
“With the establishment of TerrFüKdoBw, we are establishing a national territorial leadership capacity across the ‘peace-crisis-war’ spectrum,” the announcement read. “In this way, we are creating the necessary framework conditions to better fulfill our various tasks and continue to make our contribution to the security of our country and the fulfillment of our alliance obligations”

The Russian Clocks Are All Ticking
Putin is running out of time.
Vladimir Putin’s massive conscription of Russian men is yet another calamity of his own making.
At home, even his most loyal sycophants are demanding that he do something to stem the losses in Ukraine.
Putin has answered this call by making two foolish moves.
First, he is now getting personally involved in some of the operational decisions in Ukraine;
second, he has begun a conscription drive that is supposed to mobilize an additional 300,000 men into the Russian military.
One of the many looming deadlines he faces is the onset of winter, when fighting will slow, Russian morale will sink even lower, and supply issues will worsen.
The mobilization order is so pointless
There is no way for the poorly supplied and corrupt Russian military to train, house, clothe, and arm 300,000 men anytime soon, and certainly not before winter arrives.
In reality, Putin doesn’t even have 300,000 men;
he has roughly 300,000 names of male Russian citizens,
many of whom will never set foot on a military base.
As a strategic matter, this measure is pure idiocy.
Putin and his commanders have decided simply to throw bodies at Ukraine.
many Russians remained supportive of the invasion as long as it did not touch them.
Sending untrained men into battle only to die may be part of Putin’s plan.
How can he infuse that sense of fervor into Russians who couldn’t give a damn about fake republics in Luhansk or Donetsk?
The Russian president is facing multiple countdowns that could end in disaster,
all of them set in motion by a series of his own stupid and reckless decisions
that has cost thousands of lives and put world peace at risk.

Repugs are have wonderful skills in choosing Winners!
Are these numbers the fake turnout percentages or the fake positive vote percentages?
They are turnout.
50% was the threshold to make them legitimate. They officially are

Who knows what the final result is. Im guessing Donetsk and lughansk are a lock to join Russia.
The other 2? I have no idea.
But democracy is like this
