They do not participate in the energy discussions in the EU just because they are members of NATO. The point I am making is that I'd like a stronger nordic block within the EU to shift power more away from Germany and France.
Russian invasion of Ukraine | Fewer tweets, more discussion
- Thread starter Wednesday at Stoke
- Start date
Geography is a factor. In the notth there are only a few rivers etc as natural obstacles, if you manage to bridge one there is a lot of open area to operate in. Around Kherson these open areas are much smaller.
I came here to say exactly that!
….gonna smesh these guy
This is #1 bullshit.
Excellent analysis (as usual) by Igor Girkin about the current Russian offensive around Bakhmut:
Does that give a green light for the CIA's Special Activities Center to do whatever they want to get rid of him permanently? He's not getting drafted after further reading, but he continues to be a nuisance.
Meanwhile,
If I were Snowden, I would worry more about my new comrades than CIA. Now they can off him in an attempt to blame the US and cause drrama.
I would suspect Russia of damaging NordStream as a further excuse for not being able to supply gas to Germany. I don't think the Ukrainians would have the capability, and who else would do it? I don't imagine it's a long list who could send divers down to 80 m.
Between Armenia, Dagestan, and a few others, all of this could unravel fairly quickly for Putin.
Shows how they treat all other surrounding countries.
Does Kadyrov look like a fat Steven Gerrard to anyone else? Just me?
Can't find this video elsewhere to embed it.
Russian soldier supposedly telling presumed recruits that while the military provides military things, like guns and armor, they have to provide everything else, like sleeping bags and medicine and first aid. He tells them first aid kits are sold out everywhere and to check the cars of friends and relatives. He then tells them to contact female family members for pads and tampons, implying those are sold out too, to use on wounds.

If true it's fantastic news, showing the sanctions are having a big effect on their ability to wage war. They may be making a lot of money, but it seems they can't get what they need despite that.
We need to make sure China doesn't sell them what they need of such things, China needs the US to let Middle East energy get to China more than it needs to sell anything to Russia.

It's the lack of forehead. Kadyrov will also never win the league with Putin as his manager.
It’s true. It’s not even the sanctions, it was a relatively common thing pre-invasion where soldiers were forced to buy not only everyday stuff but things like military boots, winter/summer uniform etc. And a system that doesn’t work in peaceful times certainly can’t suddenly begin working when 300k (or a million?) of forced conscripts start rapidly coming through the ranks.
Today last day of "referendums"?
Yeah, that’s shit. I hope that there was a way to quickly check person’s adequacy on the border, it would’ve solved all the debate on the visas, closed borders etc., but there really isn’t (at least the one that isn’t easily fooled).
Nnnnnnnyeeeeah of course
Touch of Abramovich and an even-shitter-than-scouse haircut thrown in as well.
Whats going on with the Nordstream pipes?
Both have major problems according to what I read on twitter.

Funny thing is, Russia is probably doing the neighboring countries a favor by closing the border. I imagine those guys would cause huge unrest in Russia if they didn't manage to leave the country.
Presumably someone attacked/destroyed them. Very unclear who, but it is almost sure that this can't be coincidence.
Yeaaaaah course

It's worth remembering that many Russians are against the madman and his band of thugs. The price for that position is often your life.

The referendums and imminent annexation announcement make me concerned some form of escalation will take place soon...
Don't think it is coincidence one of the leaks was at the pipe's nearest proximity to bornholm either.
Bornholm tourism office must be fairly chaotic this morning.
Was thinking the same but then again there were so many moments in this war where we said 'this will definitely cause escalation from Russia' and it never happened.
Footage from the gas leaks in Nord Stream 1 and 2.
Photo taken from a Danish F-16.
According to the Danish Defence the biggest leak is 1km in diameter on the surface and the smallest about 200m.
