I hesitate to post any of these because I don't know if they're deep fakes or real.

Can't thank you for that, Ti. But you know what I mean.
Sickening.

After a few days, it is clear these are not fake news. The exodus of Russians to bordering countries is a human tidal wave.
How will this affect the economy? Will there be any workers left in Russia, even for basic industries?

I agree Ponchi. It's so hard to tell what is real or propaganda without waiting for a few days.

How much longer before it can be said outloud: Russia declared a war on Europe. Ukraine was just the entry point.

It seems that Russia's sabotage of its own gaslines will backfire:

Ukraine live briefing: Ukraine claims control of Lyman after Russians withdraw
By Isabelle Khurshudyan, Ellen Francis, Erin Cunningham, Andrea Salcedo and Robyn Dixon
Updated October 1, 2022 at 3:47 p.m. EDT|Published September 30, 2022 at 11:14 p.m. EDT

The Russian Defense Ministry says its troops withdrew from the eastern Ukrainian city of Lyman “due to the threat of encirclement” — a day after the Kremlin illegally annexed that region. Ukraine’s military suggested it had full control of the city after it announced that Russian troops had been killed or captured.

Ukrainian forces surrounded thousands of Russian troops in the Donetsk region’s city after moving on the transport hub overnight, after the Kremlin hosted an elaborate ceremony and pop concert celebrating its annexation of Ukrainian territory. Russia’s land seizure has drawn a forceful rebuke from Western countries and the United Nations.

Here’s the latest on the war and its ripple effects across the globe.

Battle for Lyman

Ukrainian troops recaptured villages near Lyman and encircled the city, Serhiy Cherevaty, spokesman for the Ukrainian armed forces, told The Washington Post on Saturday. The city sits on the edge of the eastern Donetsk region, one of the four territories now claimed by Russia and where separatists have held territory since 2014.

In a tweet, Ukraine’s Defense Ministry said “almost all” of Russian troops in Lyman had been killed or captured, suggesting that the city was under its control. A video recorded in the city shows Ukrainian troops throwing Russian flags from atop a government building, a ceremonial end to Kremlin-backed control of the area.

Ukrainian forces appeared to wave the country’s blue and yellow flag at a sign on the outskirts of Lyman in a video shared by the head of the Ukrainian’s president’s office. The Washington Post could not immediately verify that footage’s location.

We may be witnessing the "Rise of the thinking soldier". Soldiers that will not fight stupid wars.
I hope.
(Yes, and I know all wars are stupid, but in this case, the Ukrainian soldiers are not fighting the stupid side. They are being heroic).
