Ukraine Invasion 2: no more Black Sea fleet for you

I can’t sleep so I ended up watching this documentary about two girls who were tricked into relocating from Kherson to Russia and the journalists who found them and decided to help them smuggle themselves out of Russia back to Ukraine

“We’ll defeat everyone, we’ll kill everyone, we’ll rob everyone we need to. Everything will be as we like it,” he was shown saying

Glenn and Matt’s talking points have been prepared:

Russia’s Foreign Ministry made no accusations of involvement in the attack, but said silence in Western capitals exposed hypocrisy over expressions of concern for journalists.

Is that a lot?

It’s about 10 days worth. Less if on offense.

After saboteurs severely damaged the Nord Stream natural gas pipelines last September, German officials zeroed in on a rented sailboat that appeared to have taken part in planting explosive devices deep below the surface of the Baltic Sea.

But after months of investigation, law enforcement officials now suspect that the 50-foot yacht, the Andromeda, was probably not the only vessel used in the audacious attack. They also say the boat may have been a decoy, put to sea to distract from the true perpetrators, who remain at large, according to officials with knowledge of an investigation led by Germany’s attorney general.

For all the intrigue around who bombed the pipeline, some Western officials are not so eager to find out.

At gatherings of European and NATO policymakers, officials have settled into a rhythm, said one senior European diplomat: “Don’t talk about Nord Stream.” Leaders see little benefit from digging too deeply and finding an uncomfortable answer, the diplomat said, echoing sentiments of several peers in other countries who said they would rather not have to deal with the possibility that Ukraine or allies were involved.

Since no country is yet ruled out from having carried out the attack, officials said they were loath to share suspicions that could accidentally anger a friendly government that might have had a hand in bombing Nord Stream.

In the absence of concrete clues, an awkward silence has prevailed.

“It’s like a corpse at a family gathering,” the European diplomat said, reaching for a grim analogy. Everyone can see there’s a body lying there, but pretends things are normal. “It’s better not to know.”

Idk why they’re so uncomfortable about the topic, don’t they know that the OSINT guys on Twitter already solved the case?

I can’t read it so for now just going to assume it’s as rambling and wrong as his last interview. (I will give him credit for predicting the Trump indictment. Though not accurate to call Stormy a prostitute, afaik.)

I assume Sy Hersh is on it so I’ll wait for his corpse to tell me what happened

What sort of military action is Russia now entitled to in response to Finland joining NATO?

I was pondering this question as well. Certainly Russia has the right to invade Finland now to keep NATO away.
