Yeah, the coloring on the letters is substantially different than that of the arrows and the border.

Seems unlikely that in 2022 an advanced military is reliant on road signs for their invasion, no?

Given all the videos of Russian vehicles running out of gas, it doesn’t seem they were that prepared and wouldn’t be surprised if they are relying on road signs.

Is it possible to jam all GPS signals in a certain area?

Translations are roughly:

Forward - (go) Fuck yourselves
Left - (go) Fuck yourself some more
Right - Fuck off back to Russia

Looks like Poland is refusing to play Russia, not just in Moscow, but at any location.

Don’t know how accurate translation is

yeah, no

Trump essentially said Putin was a genius for claiming his soldiers were going in as peacekeepers. Its as though Trump saw that as some elite line of bullshit when it obviously wasn’t. Trump has a deep respect for bullshit.

Something tells me this request will be met with deafening silence.

Interesting that the US Republican politicians are trying to embrace Zelensky.

Actually, I guess their total lack of intellectual honesty and consistency is not that interesting. Still, they seem to be going all in.

They do really love the idea of a Tough Talking Big Strong Man. They’re just mapping that belief on to Zelensky, but they also map it onto Putin. They love to pretend that big challenges can be met with bluster.

Will be interesting to see what happens here. Last time something like this happened is when everyone refused to play Israel, Israel got screwed out of a World Cup spot after fifa added a bonus playoff round and got moved from Asia to Europe

The EU should seize them, sell them to Musk, Bezos & Co, and use the money for Ukraine support!
