Take a bow,

 

 

 

 

[Bjornebye]

The irony of some of the shit being spouted on this thread. Shameless fucking shite.

I hope they are not using military planes.

 

 

BEIJING (Reuters) -Chinese troops will travel to Russia to take part in joint military exercises led by the host and including India, Belarus, Mongolia, Tajikistan and other countries, China's defence ministry said on Wednesday.

China's participation in the joint exercises was "unrelated to the current international and regional situation", the ministry said in a statement.

And now a regular update from Tom.

 

He seems unfazed by the ongoing Russian offensive somehow.

I would imagine being 6 months into a three day blitz takes the shine off of doing daily updates.

If anyone was wondering why many in the British media have suddenly stopped sucking Mick Lynch's cock:

Mick Lynch suggests EU influence and Ukrainians 'playing with Nazi imagery' provoked Russian invasion

He's got a point.

 

As for many in the media not sucking his cock, he's desperate Dan today,

In the past (pre-WWII, etc) , many on the left were reluctant to criticize the Soviet Union, for doctrinaire reasons.

 

Is that still the case re Russia? 

 

If so, it makes no sense whatsoever. It didn't make any sense then, of course, but it would be absolute bull-goose lunacy now.

Long night of big booms in Crimea and over the border in Belgorod. Bad news for the russians, who it seems are evacuating Crimea in droves.

 

Wonder if all this talk of an offensive in Kherson was a feint, and that Crimea was the objective all along? Also, I believe AWACS has clear line of sight over much of southern Ukraine, making target identification a breeze.

Seems like they may be Sabotaging a nuclear power plant. I think the Russian will cut, run and blow the plant but make out it was Ukrainian troops that did it  and Chernobyl 2 will happen.

I am very skeptical about any of their offensives at this stage, they still seem to be severely outgunned.

Why, because Ukraine could be shelling their own plant because Russian troops are there? Nope.

What are your sources telling you on this? Maxar - can they be trusted? Sounds alot like Pixar to me tbh.

 

There are no signs of “systemic shelling” at the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, new satellite images from Maxar Technologies show.

This counters Friday’s claims by Russian President Vladimir Putin that the Ukrainian military was conducting repeated military strikes at the plant.

The latest satellite images from Maxar Technologies were taken Friday morning.

The denazification campaign has spread to Albania.

Shenanigans.

 

The daughter of an ultranationalist Russian ideologue often referred to as “Putin’s brain” has been killed in a car bomb on the outskirts of Moscow, according to Russia’s investigative committee

The phrase 'two cheeks of the same arse' springs to mind.

 

 

 

 

 

Best to take most of the information being spoon fed from Ukraine to the west with a heavy pince of salt.

Maxar are an important DoD/Pentagon contractor so I don't blindly believe what they're saying personally. I'm not saying they're wrong just that I'm not taking what they're saying as fact each time they're reporting/showing images of something.

That's what I thought - but what about your sources? What are they saying about it?

[TheHowieLama]

Nasher throwin up an instant, superficially connected whatabout and saying to take Ukrainian sources with a pinch of salt - quality.

Quote

Maria Zakharova, Russia’s foreign ministry spokeswoman, said if the investigation’s trail led to Ukraine then it would point to a policy of “state terrorism” being pursued by Kyiv.

 

Invading your neighbour, forcing millions from their homes, destroying cities and towns and killing thousands of innocent civilians.

 

That's not state terrorism.

 

This is state terrorism.

 

What're the chances Maria's taking a quick peek under the Zhiguli before she drives home this evening?

 

Better than having to constantly worry about Putin dropping a bomb on your apartment building in the middle of the night, I suppose.

He switched cars the dad at the last minute apparently. Putin probably offed her.

I don't really have any sources, I usually just check one or two twitter accounts every so often now and I haven't seen maxar mentioned. And I try to stay out of this thread mostly now because if I don't post something 100% behind Ukraine I get accused of supporting Russia and I'm sick of it.

 

I'm only really interested in posting about the f***ball later on here, that's if the game even goes ahead with the protests.

OK fair enough - you seemed to be especially interested in following the status at the nuclear plant a few weeks ago.
