No, because putin literally just made it illegal to put out fake news regarding the war. They wouldnt want to risk 15 years in prison imo


now thats a funny response


Eta: because we all know the special military operation is totally not a war and Russia has only lost 500 soldiers and the Nationalist are running for the hills

But, but they could go to prison for 15 years so they have to be telling the truth.

No one is ignoring china but there’s not a ton we can do. Would you like us to start an invasion of a nuclear power?

You had me kinda worried about the Ides of August or whatever you used to talk about.


I mean, I was right that some shite was going down on August 15th, I just thought it’d be domestic. I was wrong on that, but August 15th is when Kabul fell. The fact that I got the exact date right on shite really hitting the fan definitely startled me even if I was wrong on the exact nature of the event.

I have noticed that no prominent politicians have overtly called for the assassination of Xi either

Extraordinary comments from Putin just now.

Says Russia has “no ill intentions towards its neighbours” and calls for international cooperation to return, for relations to normalize LINK


It wasn't "just now" but a few hours ago.

We need to get the Ukrainians some MIGs so they can blow that convoy up.

Odessa is about to get overrun which will leave Kyiv with no choice but to retreat west.

Two Russian Su-25 attack aircraft confirmed shot down, 1 reportedly in Volnovakha, Donetsk region




May, could, possibly, no way, yadda, yadda.

ETA: They also appear to have shot down a helicopter that attempted a rescue of the pilot.

I am team Ukraine all the way in this scenario, but it’s crazy how every piece of Russian equipment blown up makes it to the top of Twitter/the news and there is almost no story of the flip side. I wonder how much of that is done by twitter algorithms vs Ukraine just being better at PR.

I believe we should cut all ties to China and move our outsourced manufacturing of cheap shite to Mexico/South America if it isn’t feasible domestically. It would create better opportunities in our neighboring nations and cut down on illegal immigration. I’d prefer we work more with our own backyard and leave the old world to deal with their bull shite. The Western Hemisphere should be ours and every nation in it should be developed, stable and energy independent before we give 2 shits about the Middle East, east Asia, Africa, or Europe’s problems


Bingo.

Russia doesn’t want to further antagonize the people they are trying to conquer I guess.

I think there’s some algorithmic suppression going on.

I would assume it's because Ukraine are the ones being invaded, and that they also are the ones with the cell phones and can post anytime they want?

That's going to happen when Russia isn't doing much to push their battlefield achievements. Hell, they won't even call it a war, so they aren't going to disseminate much.

Russia could certainly show the death and destruction they are causing but that’s not going to help them win hearts and minds in Ukraine.

Also, domestically, Russia is lying to it’s own population about the extent of what they’re doing in Ukraine.

Russia continues to put troops toward taking Hostomel airport, just miles outside of Kyiv: senior U.S. defense official.

There's no telling the number of people killed on both sides with Russia trying to take that airfield. They began their efforts early on, maybe day one.

It is wide open with little-to-no cover. It is kind of surprising the Ukranians have held them off.
