1/ Today on “Meet the Vatnik” we have glorious peoples champion @200_zoka.
Zoka wants you to think they are just a poor, sweet, innocent girl from Russia doing their best to expose the “lame stream medias” lies in regards to the ongoings in Syria and Ukraine.
2/ but in reality, he is a 23-year-old male nurse from Bosnia & Herzegovina. He has notably been responsible for the spread of a considerable number of half-truths and myths some examples being the denial of the Assad regime's warcrimes, “de-bunking” their use of chemical weapons
3/ He was central to the “White Helmet” myth which attempted to paint a Syrian aid group, famed for their use of white hardhats, as paid actors.
This story was picked up by a lot of right-wing-ish press and Youtubers, notably Sargon of Akaad who spread it without question.
4/ Since the start of the Ukraine war, in between making fun of hostage victims, Zoka has re-tweeted any pro-kremlin information he could.
5/ He tweets the usual nonsense of anything and everything NATO does is a war crime and/or pointless escalation designed to prolong the conflict, and anything you might have heard about Russia is obviously wrong and a Western lie.
6/ And when he couldn’t find anything, he hopped on the bandwagon of just making shit up.
A claim that NATO had provided Ukraine with HIV-infected blood was spread around by websites such as and https://t.co/pBWfFjjFhv, originated entirely from his Twitter https://t.co/sQtJmOvKkjinfo.news Snipershide.com
7/ He, like many other Vatniks, are lying to you. Lying about who they are, and what they know. Like many others, he is doing this simply for attention.
8/ Zoka knows nothing, and is content to simply post whatever he thinks will give him the biggest response, regardless of its authenticity, and if he can't find something, he'll simply make it up.
He is happy to lie to you, cheat you, and basically con you, for fun.
9/ I will never fully understand people when they take Russia's side in this conflict. But if you are truly looking for an alternate news source to find "what the media is not telling you" then Zoka is not it.

Since their announcement, ru Propaganda has been claiming the destruction of every Abrams tank in existence.
As they are due in the country soon I suspect this will only get worse, so here are some images of previously destroyed Abrams they love to Photoshop, for reference
A favorite of Vatniks, this image has already done the rounds on Telegram several times. First Wagner claimed they took it down outside Soldar, then ru forces claimed they destroyed it outside Bahkmut.
In reality, this is an American Abrams taken out in Iraq sometime in 2003/4 when a group of children threw an IED disguised as a bag of fruit at the crew, who accidentally dropped it into the hatch.
1/ Brief update on yesterday's "Tank Battle footage".
A lot of people are claiming this is a fake, that it is two videos spliced together, and that the T-80 takes an artillery hit, not a tank shell.
Some thoughts if you are willing to indulge me.
2/
The footage was shot using two separate drones and geolocated to (47.4953044, 35.9167642) or here if you're too lazy google.com/maps/place/47%…
3/
The distance of the shot appears to be a little over 2km which is well within the range of both the Leo 2 and the T-80.
The turret of the T-80 does not appear to be aiming at the Leo, suggesting it was unaware it was being targeted.
Guys it's over
Russia managed to take down one (1x) Challenger 2. (After it broke down, was forced to be abandoned and one of the crew dropped a Molotov down the open hatch to prevent capture).
NATO is finished.
@Jeff21461 @strichtarn @EstViridi @Horsed00d00 1. The T-90 uses a modification of the Khakiv model V2, which was first used in the BT-8, a prototype tank before being adapted into the BT-7M, which the Soviets produced in the hundreds.
@Jeff21461 @strichtarn @EstViridi @Horsed00d00 2. I don't, you're confusing the BT-2 and early BT-7's with the BT-7M
1/ Everyone has been freaking out about Cluster munitions, and when I say everyone I mean the same people who were freaking out about depleted Uranium shells being "illegal nuclear weapons".
Idiots basically.
Let me explain
2/ Cluster Munitions are not against the Geneva Convention nor are they "illegal". Its actually a separate treaty which is an agreement between 108 countries to promise not to use them.
The countries who did not sign that agreement include
-Russia
-The United States
3/ Those countries signed that agreement because cluster munitions are difficult to target accurately, they affect wide areas and thus can hit civilians and cause prolonged suffering in their victims if used indiscriminately.
Russia has been using cluster bombs since day 1.
1/ Alright, because no one will leave me alone, this is my unexpert, totally guessing explanation as to why Wagner stopped just outside of Moscow.
Just like you always wanted, here is some random idiot's opinion but it's okay cos I'm famous on reddit.
2/ Firstly you need to understand Proggy is an outsider. He has no political influence nor friends. Shoggy, on the other hand, does, and a lot of it. He's survived purges before. He is a master when it comes to political maneuvering.
3/ Shoggy is good at intimidation, its how he survives, his "coup" was basically that, an intimidation tactic. he wasn't looking to replace Shogiu he just wanted to show how vulnerable Putin was without him and use it as leverage to get what he wanted.

According to this Russia has 700k+ mobiks waiting in Belarus ready to flood across the border, with an expected attack in the coming weeks.
Now this is an interesting claim as we have seen evidence of soldiers and equipment being moved en mass into Belarus.
/2
As well as threats from Putin to bring Belarus into this war.
Russia has spent considerable effort upgrading anti-air defenses in the region as well as upgrading airbases to handle more traffic.
There has been every indication that something "might" happen from this direction.
/3
But as you can imagine it's not as simple as that.
Let's start with the most obvious, 700k+200k in reserve? That sounds like a fantasy number, 900k would be higher than all the forces Russia has committed to this campaign combined.
It is higher than the number Putin was able..
