re: Latest Updates: Russia-Ukraine Conflict.

Clarity on the sanctioned tankers and how Russia and Iran are joined at the hip.

There is one shadow fleet servicing both Iranian oil sales and Russian oil sales.
Pressure on Russia hits Iran.
The same tankers, the same operators, the same routes, the same dark AIS gaps.
The Western habit of treating Tehran and Moscow as separate problems has always been a bureaucratic fantasy. The Kremlin learned from Iran how to move sanctioned crude. Iran learned from Russia how to launder the revenue through front companies and flag states that ask no questions. The result is a maritime gray zone where a tanker can switch identity, cargo, and ownership within a single voyage.

Putin’s “peace” is a psyop, and Fox News is laundering it as optimism.
Former CIA Moscow station chief Dan Hoffman breaks it down: the goal is to freeze U.S. Aid, split America from Europe and Ukraine, and sell the fiction to the Russians who pay the real cost of the war.
Peace remains off the table. There is only delay, division, and deception.

The point is the claim can only be taken at face value. Anyone on this board can claim something and be something entirely different in reality.
Why does the claim matter? For one, the claim wasn't volunteered, y'all started calling him a Russian bot.
We aren't talking about a medical issue with him claiming to be a doctor.
You can engage with his content and either agree with it or say why you don't regardless of if he is Russian or not. If he were a literal paid propagandist and he makes a claim that is true, in that instance it doesn't really matter if he is a propagandist or not in terms of the content itself.
When everyone was trying to get JB banned I always said I wanted him banned for his content, posting patterns, and posting frequency. It didn't really matter if he was paid opposition or just some autistic groyper who spends all day on Twitter.

I always thought Nate was trolling a lot. He’d post a map with little or no follow up which demonstrated very little. I’d criticize that, but I never thought he was Russian.

For all your high-powered perception and wit, you're missing the forest for the trees.
It doesn't. I said as much that I don't care what he or anyone else claims they are or aren't. What does matter is that he can be or not be what he claims or anything else under the sun. Same as you, I, or any other participant on this message board.
Also, I never once called him a russian bot. You won't find it; it was never said by me. You can take that up with others who specifically said it. I merely lambasted his claim under the principle that he can claim whatever he wants; it doesn't make it or not make it so.
Irrelevant to my point. If you want to take posters at their word, go for it.
Yes you are correct; I can engage how ever I like, just like anyone else. Again, did not once accuse him of what he is or isn't. You or he can infer whatever you like.
Yeah, I'm not concerned about that at all.
All I'm doing is giving him a hard time about making a claim that isn't at all verifiable just by the very nature of an anonymous message board.

Volsquatch decided to defend him:

What's he supposed to do, post his driver's license to prove to some weirdo online that he is who he says he is?
So, no one specifically said he's a Russian bot. GOP asked if he's pretending or if he's admitted to being russian. Citizen said he's either a Putin supporter or wants to see the restoration of the Russian empire. I sarcastically said his claim settled the question when it is impossible to do that.

You could have posted this too.
If you wanted to post the double standard.

I mean functionally I use "Russian" and "Russian bot" interchangeably since they both spout bullshite
Also ill add that No Colours said Nate types like a Russian or something

Fair enough, people are certainly allowed to say things and hold positions that are mostly if not entirely unproductive with no real objective or inference in mind.

quote:Ukrainian leaves LSU over Russian recruit ESPN
Baylor signed Ukrainian center Kate Koval, the school announced Saturday, several weeks after she left LSU because Tigers coach Kim Mulkey brought in a Russian player.
Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022, and the two countries have been at war since.
Koval was allowed to enter the transfer portal outside of the normal window after she was granted a legislative relief waiver by the NCAA that was approved earlier this week, a source told The Associated Press.
"We are beyond excited to welcome Kate to Baylor," Bears coach Nicki Collen said in a statement. "She has played at an elite level over the last two seasons and has shown the consistent ability to score around the rim and protect the rim.

Koval: LSU adding Russian player 'deeply personal'
Koval of Ukraine exits after LSU adds Russian big
"... She is an elite student with a big heart for others, and our fans will love her on and off the court."
The 6-foot-5 Koval had posted on social media last week about her decision to leave LSU. Now she will be at the school that Mulkey turned into a women's basketball powerhouse before leaving to coach the Tigers.
"For me, this war is not distant or abstract," Koval wrote in her post. "People close to me have been killed and wounded in Russian attacks, and places where I grew up and first began playing basketball have been destroyed by missile strikes.
"The timing of this situation and the deeply personal effect it has had on me, my family, and those we care about who continue to live through and fight this war ultimately made me question whether LSU remained the right place for me. This decision has not been easy. While I understand and respect that roster decisions are a part of college basketball. I have to remain true to myself, my values, and my country."
Koval averaged 8.3 points, 6.3 rebounds and 1.2 blocks per game last season for the Tigers. She started her college career at Notre Dame and averaged 5.3 points and 4.7 rebounds per game in the 2024-25 season.

I appreciate this. I completely agree. I’m neither a Russian (LOL) nor a paid propagandist, but even if I was, if my analysis is correct what does it matter who I am or where I live or why I post? My allegiance is to the truth.
