re: Latest Updates: Russia-Ukraine Conflict

That's exactly what a Russian bot would say

Any decent live feeds to watch?

There's also a lot of people who think "seeing Putins angle" = slobbing Ivan's dick.

Don’t think they’re as much Russian bots as people who sarcastically started shitposting pro-fascist stuff until they lost the plot and started shitposting compulsively. And now they believe the shite.

Rewatch the South Park episode “Sarcastaball,” when Randy becomes compulsively sarcastic.

[CNN] Overstretched Russian forces could struggle to hold Ukraine at current levels, expert predicts

Ukrainian resistance to the Russian invasion has shown strength that has surprised many observers, but one international expert pointed out how historical precedent bodes poorly for Moscow should its forces be unable to subdue Ukraine quickly under current Russian troop levels.

“The Russian army is overextended and in a precarious position if Ukraine becomes a protracted war,” Seth Jones, vice president of the Center for Strategic and International Studies, said in a social media post.
“Assuming 150,000 Russian soldiers in Ukraine and a population of 44 million, that is a force ratio of 3.4 soldiers per 1,000 people. You can’t hold territory with those numbers,” Jones said.
Jones compared the current Russian force ratio to occupations after previous wars around the world, saying successful occupations had force ratios that were “astronomically higher.”

For example, he said:

The Allied forces occupying Germany in 1945 had 89.3 troops to 1,000 inhabitants.
NATO forces in Bosnia in 1995 had 17.5 troops to 1,000 inhabitants.
NATO forces in Kosovo in 2000 had 19.3 to 1,000.
And international forces in East Timor in 2000 had 9.8 to 1,000.
“High numbers of troops and police are critical to establish basic law and order,” Jones said.
“In fact, the number of Russian soldiers in Ukraine aren’t even enough to hold any major cities for long.”
And if Russian occupiers face a guerrilla war in the event the Ukrainian government falls, the odds won’t be in Russia’s favor, he said.

“They will be in serious danger of being picked apart by Ukrainian insurgents.”

Should those people be purged and censored? The answer is obvious to me. It’s one thing to ridicule those people and another thing entirely to ask the powers that be to eliminate them.

Jim doesn’t seem to understand that by asking admin to delete their posts he is more aligned ideologically with Putin than they are.

Doesn't being close allow one to slip in the polonium?

All the pictures seem to indicate that he is very serious about it.

Its really weird. Ex cold war era KGB, and terrified of the rona. Doctors orders I suppose.

Yep. Shutting down the money laundering country for the US government.

That’s such a dumb line of thought. It’s like they don’t realize there are plenty of other countries that we can and do launder money in. Hell, a lot of them love the idea of bitcoin bc it’s not controlled by “muh government” w/o realizing that it makes money laundering FAR easier to get away with.
