Russian 4th Tank Division equipment abandoned or destroyed, including an R-149MA1 command and control vehicle, 1V13 artillery battery C2, Msta-S howitzer, 2 T-80BV, 4 T-80U/UK, 4 BMP-2, and UR-77. Looks like the vehicles are being looted

What's with Russia abandoning so many vehicles is it lack of fuel or the heavy snow?

Let's see how China will decide, because now it must chose a side, as war always does. Will it crash with the West, or save itself financially and economically by siding with Russia. Once they chose their own survival, instead of thermonuclear extinction, China can continue to "dream about world domination", I think imagination is a great thing.. better than ending up as crispy corpses, no?

So guys, as I have nobody to talk about this I thought maybe I'll ask here for opinions.

We are in a dire situation, expecially Germany will be devastated financially and as Tante said, we might get some kind of dictatorship,too.

I am really thinking about my options for the foreseeable future.

Do you guys think it would make sense to leave the country now before it is too late?
I speak German, Romanian, English and French. As I work in IT I figure I could get a job abroad, maybe not as good as my current one, but that's no problem. I don't need much money..

Romania has the advantage that they will never be able to push vax mandates. The majority opposes it and they'll never get that through in Romania. Disadvantage is, it's even closer to Russia and if there is a major fight, it might get hit first.

I was also thinking about learning Russian and moving to Russia but maybe that's a bad idea as a German citizen at the moment.

What are your thoughts? Do you guys think about relocating? Do you think it makes sense to acquire a gun?

What are your measures to prepare for the coming problems, apart from stocking up supplies and food?

Is there anything you would consider important to do now, that will be too late later?

Thanks in advance! I'm really happy to being part of this nice little community of ours!

Firstly, I would like to apologize for replying in this main news thread, since it should only contain latest news.

As a Romanian living for more than two decades in the West, and having studying history as a hobby for quite a few years, my opinion is that Russia was never interested by Romanian territories and it would make even less sense today, having almost no relevant economic, demographic or strategic significance for them. The only danger I see is regarding the two main NATO sites that might be a target, though unlikely as they are less important than they seem.
Very few Romanians have any idea about their true history, as schools only taught a very selective and subjective narrative both before and after 1989. As an example, I found that not even 1 in 20 Romanians knows how Dobrogea came to be a part of Romania, thinking it was historically theirs for millennia.
Romania built a negative fame for itself historically as never being a trustful partner to anyone, always turning to serve the master of the day whoever they might be - Ottomans, Poles, Russians, Austro-Hungarians, Germans, Russians, French and more recently US or EU, so it historically acted as a second hand vasal country. If SHTF, it will quickly jump in the winner's boat.
Living for decades in an area with very diverse population one other aspect I found from my own experience is that Romanians are one of the most
disunited nations, often envying and undermining each-other while in diaspora.
I am saying all of these with deep sorrow but the evidence is overwhelming.

Germany is too big of a country, a main strategic partner for Russia today and on a positive evolution trend as opposed to North America which is in obvious decline. It is on the path of becoming again dominant in Europe and a major World power. I would see it as the last target on Russia's list, even in the worst case scenario if everything goes south. As you can see, it is one of the few that tried opposing sanctions and I don't think that's only because of the gas. Germany, with the inherent difficulties can survive without the Russian gas, while other European countries can't. They even made it from coal in WW2 when fuel was a critical resource and the lack of it, while very significant, it was not the main reason for their defeat.

The pandemic seems to be fading very quickly out of focus everywhere in the world and I expect present events to precipitate the drop in narrative and restrictions. Romania will blindly follow the EU guidelines and I won't ever bet on their resistance. I will have to shortly travel there and I had to take the vax and booster due to the new EU regulations which are applied in Romania as well from February 1st.

Personally, I would chose to stay in Germany, unless you have strong family and relationship ties in Romania.

If my daughter wasn't here, I'd sell the house I inherited and get out of here. If the compulsory vaccinations in Russia weren't as bad as here, I'd go there. About the language, I came across something a year or two ago, there are two pretty "German" towns called Marx and Engels. If there is a German-speaking community, I might go there too.

However, I am a bit older and in poor health. For almost 20 years I have seen the train rolling towards us (not in detail, of course), and I have been living by the motto "What comes, comes" for a good 40 years. That's why I'll stay if my daughter stays, because so far I'm her only real "rock in the breakers" here far and wide.

Empire orders Ukraine to cease negotiations.  We all can now plainly observe that Ukraine was designed as a wedge since 2014 in on way or other to destabilize Ru.F and destroy Putin.  You can truly see he had/has his back against wall.

Yeah sure, or the EU shithouse collapses, who cares.. let's not stall the innevitable liberation of at least everything West of the Dnipro and
the maybe the South of Ukraine, that's more "immediately necessary", then what the Rothschild-controlled banking system "needs".

As far as I am aware, the compulsory vaccinations in Russia are not state wide.
The decision was taken at a regional level and most of them merely recommend the vax.

From January 14th:

"The Russian government on Friday delayed approving unpopular legislation that would have restricted access to public places without proof of COVID-19 vaccination, amid a surge in new infections."
"Deputy Prime Minister Tatyana Golikova explained the measure was pulled due to uncertainty regarding its effectiveness as it was drawn up in response to the delta variant of the virus that causes COVID-19."
