Russia and her supporters are a clown show! I wake up to a Russian TV host claiming Ukraine has secreted away a thermo-nuclear bomb to blow itself up with and blame Russians. Never mind that boosted fission and fusion bombs all need tritium with its very short (post Cold War)
half life that can be typed to the reactor that produced it. Then as I scroll down my twitter feed I see the whataboutisms flowing like a blown dam. We have all the main players working off the same cue card. #NAFO members said bad things and the @georgian_legion did bad things.
did they rape babies, blow up theaters, kidnap kids, destroy critical heating and electrical infrastructure.... invade a sovereign state? No? Then it's all BS misdirection.
The next clown to come piling out of the Lada was a Chechen fighter codenamed "Don". Dude got his legs blown off and his "buddies" killed him by not having even basic first aid skills. I don't generally watch war porn I've seen enough but I watched this one to get an idea of what
skill levels of an "elite" Russian force amounted too. First they did not have CATS though admittedly this is a quartermaster problem more than a Chechen problem. Second they had enough improvised material to save him if they had known WTF they were doing. Sorry, Don, hand tied
granny knots don't count. Your brothers in arms killed you by being "that stupid" Next up was the video of Russian conscripts riding into battle with WWII era steel pots and Russo-Japanese War era Mosin-Nagants. Are you guys trying to defend Kherson or drive on Berlin? Then more
jumped out, a street walker who thought she was better than Ukrainians, thena she hulk and her pipsqueak man emerged to do a song and dance. For real that video is wild... Then two more
clowns jumped out. Lavrov yelling, "close the embassies they are mean to us", and his side kick drunkenly yelling back, "don't close the embassies its where we base our spy operations". Sadly, the show ended the Lada was simply not big enough to fit Putin and his giant table.
It might have had room except the other HEAD OF RUSSIA the infamous @AKorybko was shoved into the car so he could jump out and do an anti-racism skit while shilling for a nation that is openly racist. Enough clowns came piling out for it to turn into a shit show on parade. These
jokes are all united by their desire to kill Ukrainians. That is the central theme of Russia once you get past the graft, corruption and vodka fueled dreams of empire all that is left is the desire to murder. Its why we in all seriousness now must continue to support #Ukraine in
like @MriyaAid and tune into @MriyaReport to stay up to date on the latest news and hear Ukrainian voices. Its why I joined #NAFO and became a #FELLA. Fuck the whataboutisms, I oppose genocide period full stop. Wars of imperial aggression belong in the history books not the
How many rings does the Russian circus have? I am used to Russia's various versions of Lord Haw-Haw and Axis Sally spouting all sorts of nonsense but every now and then they write something that really takes the cake. In this most recent display of supreme irony the supreme
HEAD OF RUSSIA said this, " No side that’s confident in its prospects of military and soft power success would ever deign to attack civilians, especially refugees, not to mention those that it claims are its own people on its own land.
This part of an article where he claims that shelling a bridge used for military purposes is a war crime. No, Andy, it is not, though Russia putting civilians on it as human shields definitely is. Although I am not a lawywr, let alone one versed in the LOAC and IHL I think I know
The Russians are admitting that the situation near Kherson is "difficult" and hard choices might have to be made. They are urging people to flee and talking about the destruction of the dam. I think we need to take Gen Armageddon at his word on this one. Russia is actively trying
to wreck Ukraine's ability to provide electricity and heating to its population just before winter and has already destroyed a dam. More crimes against humanity is nothing they will even bat an eye at. They know the situation cannot be salvaged militarily. The men they are
grabbing off streets and out of hostels are being sent straight to the front where they often end up dead within days of finding out they are in the army now. No training, no leadership and no equipment has turned mobilization into a slaughter. Its so bad that Russians by dribs,
Saw a report that Iran may step up its role as an arms supplier to Russia adding ballistic missiles to the list of anti-civilian hardware provided to Russia. Strange how in 8 months Russia has gone from arms exporter to arms importer. Besides the Iranian kit, we have Chinese
mortars, North Korean Artillery ammo, Belarussian artillery ammo and tanks. The Russian place at the annual arms exporter conference has really taken a hit with only one major customer left: Ukraine. The number of Russian arms now used by Ukraine is staggering. Everything from
rifles to T-90's to sophisticated EW systems. If Russia had it, Ukraine has it. In a recent arms transfer caught on tape we can see the Russian army donated a T-62M to the Ukrainian film industry for an upcoming film: "Shit your grandfathers thought could fight NATO".
Wow, I wake up to THE HEAD of Russia @AKorybko calling for the head of nothing to investigate @AdamKinzinger for his ties to a grassroots movement that opposes genocide and wars of territorial aggression. Thats actually really funny given all the real crimes THE HEAD is Ok with.
no complaint about torture chambers, forced kidnappings, shopping malls on targeting lists, kids killed on their way to speech therapy.... nope. A funny meme showing THE HEAD wearing a T-90 turret as a hat.... demands investigations. Talk about jumping the potato. Also in my feed
this morning are more people calling for some version of, "we make Ukraine give up and reward Russia for nuclear blackmail". Though thankfully there is one less since Kim Dotcommie blocked me. What they all have in common is they are doing Russia's work in looking for a way out.
I get back from the woods and not much has changed. There was some apparently rather forceful rejection of forced conscription. One commander got fragged in one instance and in another some dragooned Central Asians said, "Russian Army Go Fuck Yourself" spelled out in 7.62 font.
The Ukrainian high commander has imposed a blackout over Kherson so something but what? Fingers crossed it makes the Kharkiv offensive gains look small. I really want that city liberated because of its political importance to Putin. Though apparently one pressing question was
answered while I was helping some people back up the mountain.... we now know what air defense doing. Shelling Belgorod. You can't make this stuff up. Ukrainians strike and Russia piles on with malfunctioning missiles. So far this do not be off too a good start for
Good morning from the Ozark's! Hope you all have a wonderful day even if it won't be a good as mine. Not everyone can brew percolator coffee to an #Arkansas sunrise after all.
After breakfast then it's time to start my day and end up in a trail. Don't forget to do what you do. Contact your leaders as I contact @JohnBoozman, @SenTomCotton, and @RepFrenchHill and tell them to support Ukraine
Give to charities like @MriyaAid join #NAFO to support the @georgian_legion and bonk Vatniks. Ukrainian soldiers are camping out in the elements because they must, I do it for fun. No one is shooting at me either.
