The paranoia must be out of control right now
Russian invasion of Ukraine | Fewer tweets, more discussion
- Thread starter Wednesday at Stoke
- Start date
Looks like the attack this morning was done by unmanned surface vessels.
Sad thing is, russia will posture again by retaliating against civilians
I thought this was a good interview. Nothing really quite new but key points:
- Milov thinks that Iran didn't willingly got involved but was pressured by Putin because Putin was helping Iran in several ways and threatened to cut that help.
- Russian security services tightly under Putin's control so a coup is unlikely and you'd be better off betting on the Russian public to rise up rather than the "elites".
- Sanctions are extremely hurtful to Russian complex industries but patience is needed.
- Nordstream damage was message to the West that their infrastructure can be hurt.
- Nuclear threats to be taken seriously but not exaggerate it because Putin knows it'd be the end of him and India/China/other countries would distance themselves even more from Russia.
- Forcing Ukraine to negotiate for peace would be celebrated with champagne in the Kremlin as they can regroup and strike again later.
They already have by renouncing the grain export agreement.
For those negotiation fanatics with Putin:
If you're posting a Russian-language source, at least provide a translation.
I mean Twitter has a very convenient translate option when you click on the Tweet, or is it only me?
If it’s not English, please post a translation. Same as in the transfer tweet thread.
Every time I open this thread I’m secretly praying for a Soloyvov meltdown video
The stranger his segments the worse it seems to be going for the Russians. Will be interesting to see his reaction when they lose.
The last one was absolute gold…..it’ll be hard to top, especially as it was full of agonised realisation of how shit they are
Worth posting this here too:
I bet the Tory Party are still happy to accept Kremlin linked donations.

Ukraine going into the naval drone business now? That's news.
More?
This craft was found on the Crimean shores about a month ago, it has been tought it is a unmanned surface vehicle produced by Ukraine.
Equiped with a Starlink antenna at the back, camera at the middle and what might be a laser rangefinder in front of it. The two things sticking out at the front are believed to be triggers for the explosives it is carrying.
It was probably more crafts like this one that was used in the attack today.
Just last week Germany delivered two naval drones. Type unknown, but probably something different then the one posted above.
Thread. Further to the above
Three months ago: Putin is waiting for "peace" in exchange for a grain deal and an agreement to freeze his control over the newly occupied territories, as soon as he realizes that this does not work, he will ruin the grain deal. How to look into the water
First or 2nd highest RU KIA number since we started getting these reports March (day of the sinking of the Moskova might be first). New recruits really are just being sent into a meat grinder. +52 APCs is also a huge number.
950
Of course there are questions about the accuracy of it but it is a massive jump from a typical ~400.Am I missing something? What was funny about that?
Think people shouldn't share videos such as this because more views will only increase the amount of idiots that watch this shit.
"Nobody is interested in what you're saying"
Jesus, surely even the most brainwashed people can't buy into that stuff anymore.Looks like it's 950 in the week rather than in a day no? Just going by the dates in the graphic. Still a disgusting number of course.
No, it's daily. Dates in the graphic are February 24th - October 30th.
Agreed and agreed. Also comments section made me literally sick. Disgusting.
Oh wow, even if they're half correct then those numbers are appalling for the Russians. Even if they mobilise 300,000 more cannon fodder then they wouldn't even last a year...
Their routine daily failed (so far) assaults on Bakhmut for about a month has probably added decent amount of numbers to these tolls as well.
950
They're making a mighty push for Bakhmut, using untrained soldiers with terrible weapons. I imagine that's what's causing most of the deaths.
The way that went (Wagner recruiting prison inmates and then forcing them to attack a well defended city) might give cynical people like me the impression that Russia just wanted a cheap way to empty their prisons and sentencing criminals to death.
Well planned and orderly retreat.
Ukrainian air force which should have ceased to exist in February is still very much alive.
