Afaict, pure rumor at this point. This account is parody, but still.
another day, another war crime by putin, all in hopes that russians will mobilize themselves before the economy runs out.
quite a situation that russian opposition is forced to stand against ukraine and in defense of russian citizens who may be catching retaliatory strikes and collateral damage. let me be on record saying that i will gladly donate money for UA FPV drones, to strike at russian forces both within ukraine and in russia all the way to moscow, even if it means it may kill people i know and people i know who are against the war, but afraid of repressions. a bottom-up uprising will simply not happen without imminent military and economic defeat.
Hugh Jackman’s 1876 character doesn’t understand that if he doesn’t clean up after his dog someone else will have to.
I have to take care of the lawn and it’s disgusting when people leave poop for me to pick up. If they’re going to do that why don’t they take their dog across the street where I’m sure the state of Utah or LDS church will be happy to collect all the dog shit they can deliver.
“I would gladly murder innocent people” is certainly a take

This shit is so fucked up. It’s like they’re incrementally reverting to Stalinism.

geez, at least put an ellipsis in there, instead of quotes, because the meaning changes. plus, i trust general syrskiy with these decisions more than i would trust myself. and so far evidence points to russian forces of deliberately targeting civilians without explanation, while ukraine hasn’t been able to spare munitions on targets without a military purpose.
i’m sure after three years of war, everyone thinks they are experts at trolley problems thousands of miles away, but alas, we are only experts at repressing our own reactions to collateral damage according to our biases. war is hell. ukraine has to fight back.

The occasional Jake Broe take is basically like therapy. and he is right that this could have been done so long ago with ATACMS, saving thousands of lives. sucks to live in a political reality where election calendars are exploited by aggressors, and no such deadlines exist for the.
and just in case anyone is still wondering if russia’s nukes or their hypersonic delivery systems are likely to work, here’s your answer. it is russia’s only such launch site, setting them back years.
This is the kind of thing which seems totally sustainable until suddenly it isn’t.
At which point, it will seem obvious.

One group of people says it’s unsustainable and another says Ukraine can’t keep up and must lose. Here is Anders Nielsen’s analysis.

Ukraine keeping up is 100% decided by Western support and NATO can easily ‘outspend’ Russia. Especially since a lot of the spending is just sending stuff that was going to be replaced anyway like the Dutch F16’s that made their final flight over Holland last weekend.

When Reagan spent the USSR into bankruptcy he was a genius, but somehow we can’t do it now? Especially considering we have a huge multiplier since even the last-gen shit we’re sending is way better than the dilapidated junk Russia has
The fact that republicans are suddenly really reluctant to cut huge checks to defense contractors should be setting off alarm bells for anyone even halfway paying attention

Lavrov rumors a couple of months ago were unfounded but Russian prison is definitely a step away from dead.
Good
Committing literal treason wasn’t on the list of things I thought Seagal would do.
