Apparently they decided to change the headline.

No idea what’s going on here, but OSINT is one of the best accounts out there are far as not tweeting anything unconfirmed.

Holy shit!

JFC though I am sick of these tick tocks with stupid music set to serious shit. I guess if that’s what the kids need, but ugh.

I have a feeling that the claim is somewhat oblique by design.

Maybe teaching Ukrainians how to use all the random equipment they’re getting?

I could, but then I’d have to kill you :wink:

Yes, it is a vague claim. A lot of it involves clearing landing sites. There’s a reason the Air Force special ops teams are literally never mentioned in the press…and it isn’t because they aren’t there.

Take the word “clearing” however you wiil…

It would be a pretty sick level to blow the whistle on a real plot. Putin would never see it coming!

The wiki entry for JSOC says they answer directly to the WH, fwiw.

This is a little disconcerting. Announcing their intentions like this rules out chemical or biological, which they would try to blame on UA.

That song has been used repeatedly in videos and has become sort of an unofficial anthem of the Ukrainian military. I posted the full track a couple days ago. Admittedly it’s kind of weird to be used in this one, though.

I don’t think they know where he is.

Could get dicey if they’re launching endless barrages from just across the official border.

Also hard to see Russia not attacking Poland.

Basically WWIII. And if that happens it’s hard to see Russia not using tactical nukes, since that’s their only trump card.

Has the hypersonic missile thing been confirmed by outside observers? I thought I read something that seemed pretty credible saying the footage of it was old/recycled/not from the location the russians were claiming to hit etc

Escalation and direct NATO involvement has always seemed kinda likely to me. There was never going to be a good outcome to this, and there are so many ways for it to still get worse.

It seems to be confirmed that Russia fired one from a jet as something of a demonstration/warning shot. The US claims to be aware and have tracked it the whole time.
