Russian invasion of Ukraine | Fewer tweets, more discussion
- Thread starter Wednesday at Stoke
- Start date
Meloni replying to Zelensky.
I say that's not beyond the realm of possibilities that Putin is willing to do the same kind of shit that Saddam did to Kuwaiti oil fields as the Iraqis fled during the Gulf War. Both cnuts deserve(d) to end with a rope around their necks just for that shit alone.
Right now, NATO better send military ships to patrol around the Norwegian pipelines for starters.
Indeed. I say Twitter is just needing that kind of official designation to start waging a war against Russian bots based on the same algorithms that were used to fight ISIS. In fact, that war against disinformation from the Kremlin should have been waged several years ago.

At least these latest “referendums” completely undermine those that previously happened in Crimea. Far fewer will take those seriously now.

Ukrainian railways still continue to impress and retain a sense of humour:
He's says Nord Stream 2 would end, and it did, very quickly after the invasion.
To what benefit?
People are wondering if Norway did it just because they’re about the only country that benefits from this. Which is quite a stretch.
He was talking about NS2 and he meant sanctions, which wasn't needed since Germany voluntarily stopped the pipeline when the war started.
Well... sanctions against Germany were implemented and didn't stop the progress of the project, the beginning of the war did. As obviously sanctions weren't enough it is a valid question what means the US would have taken (or possibly did).
The US trying to force Germany to buy their expensive fracking LNG isn't that well received here...
The point is, it's not the US blowing the pipelines, that's ridiculous.
That bots push the narrative it doesnt mean that Biden didn't say it
While the rest of Europe freezes this winter, partly because Germany refused to heed the warning on becoming reliant on Russian gas, we will all bear those misgivings in mind.
This is a vexing question. There was a post in the WaPo comments that suggested the reason may be internal. Putin blows the pipelines and the oilygarchs' power is diminished; a message is sent to those around him that he can break them without resorting to defenestration.
Absolutely nothing to do with the war, but does anyone know why Meloni has the Arabic letter "noon" in her name?
Its Spectre.
Its usually written in solidarity to persecuted Christians around the world. ن is to indicate Nasara or Nazarenes, which have allegedly been used as pejoratives against Christians, most recently by the likes of ISIS in Iraq.
She is basically using the ن on her socials to campaign against "Christian oppression". Not particularly surprising coming from a right wing politician in the west.
That's news to me. Cheers bro
I hope those aren’t loaded…
There have been some horrific images from this war, but this is almost as heartbreaking. That old man looking at his rifle might end up dead in a ditch somewhere in Ukraine. What a monumental waste of real lives because of the actions of a deranged idiot.
deranged idiot -dash- master strategist!

Putin ally Yevgeny Prigozhin admits founding Wagner mercenary group
Russian businessman confirms deployment to countries in Latin America and Africa in first public confirmation of link

Wagner has been accused of committing human rights abuses in Ukraine, Syria, Libya, Central African Republic, Sudan and Mozambique. The group’s alleged co-founder, Dmitry Utkin, has been linked to the far right and is believed to have named the group after Hitler’s favourite composer. The US and EU have imposed sanctions on Prigozhin and Utkin for their role in Wagner.
[...]
Last week the Guardian reported that Prigozhin was personally recruiting soldiers from Russia’s extensive penitentiary system in an attempt to compensate for acute shortages of personnel on the battlefield.
In one leaked video, Prigozhin is seen telling inmates they would be freed if they served six months with his group.

"Jesus Christ! Get your gun out of my face, bro, feck!"
Havent kept track, what's the situation in EU energy wise?
Generally stable now, but quite vulnerable, there aren't much options if a pipelone from Norway gets destroyed or something like that.
Well they'd have to prepare for some rationing and more LNG and whatnot to be bought. It would be chaos but they've had plenty of time to prepare contingencies. In the UK we are more independent theoretically, but our doomsday cult won't have planned any sensible response should any lines go down I shouldn't think...
Tragi-comic.
As water always finds its level, Russia seems to always find the path that says "show me you are the baddies without telling me you are the baddies."
From few days ago but probably relevant now;
Looks like US kept an eye on the Russian sub activity in the same area.

ISIS definitely blew up the pipeline.
It’s interesting when will Germany wake up to the fact that they’re being ridiculed by Russia in this hybrid warfare and that’s time to start acting properly and with a bit of the backbone.
Preparations are ongoing in Belarus to open up a north axis again.
The delusion is strong in Kremlin it seems.
