Russian invasion of Ukraine | Fewer tweets, more discussion
- Thread starter Wednesday at Stoke
- Start date
Yea you can see some special operations getting more active and their activists trying to get more and more attention. I don't know by head whose elections are the closest atm, but Estonia has parliamentary elections under way in spring 2023 and our Right Wingers are basically quoting Sovoljov already.
+ Things like these going on

That tweet was dumb as they come. And also the UK needs more a Gus Fring character. Because he is a fantastic manager, of course.
Russians in disbelief by the quality of some of the equipment the Ukraine army has. Imagine bulletproof plates actually being able to stop bullets? Magic.
Makes sense I guess when you compare to the crap they get which wouldn't stop anything more than paintballs.

Given the events of a few weeks ago, I had hoped that Kherson would have been liberated by now, perhaps naively. It felt as if the momentum was really with Ukraine, now any gains are much more attritional again. Does this reflect the state of the war, or are the Ukrainians regrouping for a big push?
Hard for Ukraine to take cities where the Russians are dug in given they aren’t going to shell the city. They basically have to force them to surrender by cutting them off. It looks like Russia are going to withdraw from Kherson and blow the dam though if we believe what a few people are saying so it might not be long.
With all the new cannon fodder at the Russian front it might be that they need to absorb some pressure along the line so have sent reinforcements to other priorities?
They instated an information blackout for the Kherson region a couple weeks ago as they stepped up operations so its hard to know much, though if any large gains were made I'm sure we'd know about it.
Ukraine is fighting this war very carefully and patiently. Also, the last time they convinced the world they were about the make a big push for Kherson it was a bit of a ruse, so its perhaps unwise to have too many expectations.
The speed of the Kharkiv operation has probably raised expectations to an unrealistic degree.
They do. Not overly much (and not comparable to the Russian strikes) considering the circumstances but still.
I thought at the time that was Johnson calling in a favour from a contact in Ukraine.
Tbf that's always the case in war. Historically, the poor and the destitute fight under the command of noblemen or the rich.
Goes in line with what narrative internally Putin was pushing earlier saying Ukraine will be attacking civilians as Russian forces will be “standing” behind them:
Max. share please:
They clearly forgot how conspicuous it would be for males to be walking around anywhere in civilian clothes at a time when most Ukrainian males are fighting elsewhere.
It’s mostly for the internal audience as always when dead bodies in civilian clothes will begin to pile up in the media, he sort of already set the tone of what to “expect” from Ukrainian armed forces to average russian news viewer.
Amidst all the death, destruction, rape, and displacement of millions - spare a thought for the son of a Russian billionaire who was sanctioned because who his dad is.
Translation: "The son of Russian billionaire Mikhail Fridman, Alexander Ozhelsky, left for Dubai, called the sanctions against himself unfair and said that he was Ukrainian (Friedman is from Lvov). “I fell under the sanctions of the government of Ukraine. I didn't do anything wrong".

That’s Moscow for you, imagine how deeply engraved russizm is in the rest of the country:
Must watch. Did I ever say that I'm a real fan of reports coming out of VICE News?
Another Russian military plane fell down deep inside Russia (near Irkutsk).
Looks like they're deploying some really old/broken planes in desperation.

The guy on the right, Sergei Lukyanenko, is a very pro-government writer but even he is appalled by what Krasovsky is saying.
Krasovsky is one of the most fascinatingly horrifying figures on that propaganda front. An open gay with AIDs who supports the laws against "LGBT propaganda" etс.; he even lived in Ukraine for a few years as a child. And yet he shoots videos of himself literally dancing with joy after hearing the news of Russian missiles hitting civil infrastructure & houses in Ukrainian cities... and now this.
He seems nice.
Looks like a plane from the SU-27 family from the silhouette.
There was a tweet supposedly by a Russian plane mechanic saying they should ground the fleet as they couldn't get what they needed to repair them properly. This was weeks ago.
Where exactly did they get this nuclear weapon???
So this is why Shoigu has been calling the American and British defense secretary/minister. It's worrying that it suggests Russia is considering actually using a nuke, I would assume in Kherson area.
Easy. Obviously Ukraine lied back in the day when they gave all their nukes to Russia. Those evil blackmailing Nazis planning false flag attacks 30 years in advance.
They have enough material to make several dirty bombs which I think is what this is implying.
A dirty bomb isn't a nuclear bomb, it's a normal bomb filled with radioactive material. Depending on what the material is and how much there is it could contaminate a wide area for decades, centuries or longer and would be a truly horrific war crime. Not as horrific as a nuclear bomb though in all likelihood.
Fair. My previous exposure to "dirty" bombs was typically salted/tweaked nuclear bombs intended to release long-lasting radiation in addition to the nuclear explosion.
