Thank you, Rurik. Great job once again. They should have you over at RT running the show.

Yes. Rurik would be a far better troll than that chick that's running it now.

The military is the ideal way to steal yourself to fortune, if not fame, just build crappy stuff, charge billions in graft, and watch as it all gets blown up to cover your tracks - what a scam - the sky's the limit, and the evidence is blown to pieces - the perfect crime. And if people protest, they're just not patriotic...

Or blow it up yourself, who would have thought an actual war would happen oi vey

🇷🇺🇺🇦🇵🇱⚡- Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski has proposed 'transferring Crimea' to a 'UN mandate state'.

Wouldn't be at all surprised if they did it and both sides proclaiming victory about it

But what is esteemed military analyst Martyanon saying about this non-event (if it happened at all, that is)? Or multipolar pepe? Is Russia days/hours/minutes away from total victory still on their channels?

Collapsing any day now, last reserves are being mobilised. Then Putin will unleash his master 7d chess move and Russia will be saved.

As you are a somehow sophisticated and educated man, Rurik, you certainly can follow: You finally (I know I'm slow, but sometimes even I arrive at the truth) remind me of Kassandra. I just don't remember for what she was punished with the gift of being a seeker and simultaneously no-one believing her. What have you done, in this or in a former life?

I prefer to think that I’ve got promethean powers of foresight. Sounds cooler.

She promised her pussy to Apollo in exchange for the gift, then reneged on the deal

The situation is so depressingly bad in Russia. Why is Putin okay with being humiliated like this? And why wouldn't the oligarchs want Russia to win? Wouldn't a victorious Russia be more profitable for them?

Expand full comment

They make plenty of money already, the reasons are more sinister, they want to kill of the Patriots and strong men in a un-winable grind war so they can rule the countries more easily

Expand full comment

And, yeah, I guess this is a conspiracy but still...

Actually, the oligarchs make their money by skimming it off government enterprises. So the most profitable situation is a perpetual war where the economy is centralized on war production. The real question is, wouldn't it be in their interests to not have Russia decisively lose the war? If the Russian oligarchs come to feel they will be persecuted as Russians in the case of a decisive defeat, would that move them to stop skimming off defense expenditures and support a really effective effort?

Russia to fold?

It's quite simple, because they're not prepared for the consequences.

What you're seeing here is a demonstration strike.

Russia has backed down given Lavrov's latest statements. They don't have what it takes to take on the United States.

Have you heard about the Bentley case? Apperently they solved the murder mystery. An investigative committee said he was taken and mistaken for a spy, put a bag on his head and driven off to be tortured. After he died they used TNT to blow up the body to try to cover it up.

I wonder what trick card Ukraine will play next to humiliates Putin, its getting bigger every time

Perhaps an attack against the Moscow TV tower, knocking it off the air.

I continue to be astonished by stories like this about Russia. Damn , what a shemozzle!

Expand full comment

Russia’s Investigative Committee now officially says that Russel Bentley, a Texan who chose to become a Russian propagandist in Donetsk, has been tortured to death by the Russian military for no apparent reason at all, apart from him being American.

A lesson for those eyeing that career move. https://x.com/leonidragozin/status/1837079085844971753

Funny how Russia’s ally Serbia, amid the war in Ukraine, continues boosting military cooperation with Moscow.

Oh, wait. This is Major General John Harris of the

That is an excellent question. How does one "proof" a nuclear explosion?

I posted a couple of guidelines here to help you identify a nuclear explosion when you see one:

Don't be fooled, no one is going to tell you, you have to find out yourself.

Then again, the corrupt Rooskies could have constructed the ammo bunkers out of cowshit and straw - the ammo being ignited by two little boys playing with matches.

There's no evidence in all your references that the Toropets explosion was nuclear. In fact, they say the determination might need to be made by experts monitoring the situation. Untrained observers would not be able to make a definite determination. Thus, your assertion is speculative: possible but not proven.

Expand full comment

There is no proof for the agenda-driven.

Expand full comment

I read the references pretty carefully. Your logic is: If A then B; B exists; Therefore A.

In other words, there are commonalities between a nuclear explosive and conventional. An expert might be able to tell the difference. No such determination was made in the cases you cited. Therefore the conclusion is speculative.

Best fit, all things considered, I'd say. I think we can rule out quad-copters.

In the post-truth era expert usually translates to paid-whore. And you will be censured/cancelled if not incarcerated for challenging "official truth". Hildabeast is going for it on "misinformation".

I'm starting to feel like one of the mutants worshiping the Alpha-Omega Bomb in the Forbidden Zone (Planet of the Apes).

Once again, the very best thing the grunts fighting & dying on the frontline can do is turn their guns on their officers and end this senseless fratricide.

Expand full comment

They can't, most people have no concept of how big Ukraine is, when you are dumped at the frontline you are basicly stuck there and its usually a one way trip. If a drone spots you then you are likely gone. Meanwhile the commanders sit far back in cozy little bunkers. Probably having a phone line to the Ukrainian command aswell.
