  1. This morning russian propagandist singer Shaman posted a video with a fully mixed and mastered song about this terrorist act. The guy and his team must be really really talented to fully write, arrange and produce a song and a video in just 1.5 days. But hey - I'm just a mad conspiracy theorist.
  2. because a drone with minimal victims or "bravely catching would-be terrorists before they can do the thing" doesn't mobilize Russia. Nobody in Russia cares if a few people die, that's like an everyday thing. Firing a bunch of Shmel rounds into a school building, burning a hundred children alive, does. Are we really arguing if killing a whole bunch of people as some kind of a bloody propaganda ritual makes sense in Russia? Seriously?
  3. Nah. Not the throne city. A capital of the empire is very well protected, especially after the "one day coup" last year. Again this is not the first time. Putin blew up houses in Ryazan when he got first elected to justify invasion of Ichkeriya, FSB gassing everybody during Nord Ost with a hundred dead was there to excuse mass civilian murder in Ichkeriya, then he blew up a school in Beslan to justify the permanent "counter terrorist operation" there and in Dagestan that lasts for 20 years now. In 2011 Putin blew up Domodedovo airport to justify invading Syria and so on so forth. It's like such a classic move at this point - I don't even.
  4. There's nothing incompetent about it. That putin was going to order this wasn't a secret, in fact that's literally what western security services told everyone. Not to mention at this point it's a tradition in russia - whenever the need to sell any war (harder) in Russia arises - buildings, schools and subway stations immediately start getting blown up, often right after the Tsar gets re-elected. Not to mention that "siloviks" who aren't "magic" couldn't catch themselves the terrorists at the scene of the crime, but caught them with ease just a few hours later at the Ukrainian border. Because, of course, where else? Doesn't look like "incompetence" to me.
  5. ISIL has nothing to do with this. It was done by FSB, which already officially blamed Ukraine for the attack because we, of course, hired ISIL to bomb putin's fans and ISIL terrorists tried to escape to Ukraine where they were promptly caught. The sole fact that no cops or military personnel were present at Crocus for about an hour should tell you everything you need to know.
  6. It was a propaganda exercise only to show the world how fanatically russians really support him and the war. Like "look at how many really are supporting me and what we are doing in Ukraine, how can you even doubt my might, I have a hundred million of ein volk behind me". As for opposition - I'd rarther call it 'competition'. Even Navalny was an avid supporter of war (or, rather, wars), he just thought he should've been the one leading it. It's literally the same opposition of Khruschev to Stalin or Brezhnev to Khruschev. They all wanted to threaten you with nukes and occupy Europe. They just disagreed on the actual implementation. So it really doesn't matter who is currently in the opposition, they all share the same idea - unless someone starts wanting the throne - then they start falling down from the sky or out of windows until one remains and he gets to be a Tzar.
  7. Exactly. All those excuses about "fear" and "brainwashing" don't quite survive when faced with the reality of russians voting for putin en masse in Europe. They all know full well what they are doing and why - and quite willingly so.
  8. wouldn't call it a sham election though. Ironically this was probably one of the fairest ones since he was elected for the first time. Russians did show up in droves to support the war.
  9. Problem is that Zelensky aimed this at people who are absolutely clueless about the army or the war. Because what he said is "too many do not have frontline experience" - but then he immediately promoted exactly those people? Sounds like a logical action. Two years ago I've vaguely said that Zelensky is, to put it lightly, not a very good leader. Yesterday you saw a major reason why. Because you don't fire the main commander of an army with zero explanation why. Unless of course that explanation is a childish envy. I know that our Western friends here don't know what really is going on here, but this didn't come out of the blue, Zelensky had led a smearing campaign against Zaluzhny for a while with all state media taking major dumps on him almost daily. Seeing as how Zelensky already all but ruined the Western support - not saying it outright doesn't matter anymore. A good thing for our survival was that Zaluzhny could say no to Zelensky and you now know why it mattered thanks to Shuster's book. Problem is - Syrsky doesn't say no. And it's the reason why he was chosen. And, unfortunately, we will have a lot of tragedies going forward because of this.
  10. So if that was true - how come a supposed raping/terrorizing SS soldier was never accused in Nuremberg and instead got a Canadian citizenship? Shouldn't that be a big no no in 1954 when there was a ton of witnesses alive and Canada itself fought in WW2? And he wasn't the only one who got the citizenship by far. I mean if he is a war criminal then he should've stood trial. There were 78 years to do it, no? He wasn't hiding. But now he is a war criminal out of the blue without the trial or proof because exactly ignorance. If SS Galicia committed such horrible crimes against locals - we would be seeing evidence of that every step of the way as Ukrainians are rather touchy regarding traitors of their own during those times. We would be seeing court cases all over every territory and from relatives they tortured and raped. No? Certainly not getting citizenships in Canada. Or maybe they were indeed used to fight russians.
  11. Regarding Hunka. There's a reason Nuremberg trials never accused that specific division of any single warcrime. And russians, who were a part of it, tried. Oh they did. Don't you doubt it for a second. And then suddenly a Canadian citizen of 69 years gets to be a war criminal because current year. Because to a westerner the whole "SS" thing when mentioned means 100% Hitler worshipping fanatics, yet Red Army is viewed as liberators despite ending up raping through half of Europe. Naturally russians exploit this lack of knowledge to no end.
  12. it is accurate and it is what ultimately saved Odesa from occupation. Because we didn't yet know how truly brutal collaborators and traitors will be.
  13. Well I mean if Britain just let Germany simply occupy its share of Poland without any action - there would be no war, am I right? that's literally not a joke but a russian logic. If you defend yourself - more bullets get to fly.
  14. Russians know what is being done in their name. In fact that's why they hired putin to do it in the first place. Russian soldiers don't want to surrender because surrender means inability to kill, loot, rape and torture human beings. Why would they want to deny themselves things they want and reasons they are here? Sensible advice that emanates from Kyiv to people on occupied territories is to survive at any cost short of treason. There's nothing else they can do. For someone who follows the war closely for 18 months you seem to not follow it close enough.
  15. Oryx uses visual data to confirm stuff. Photos/videos only. Somebody has to spend time taking them across the 2000 km frontline while getting shelled. And that's exactly what their disclaimer says right there.
  16. They block anyone who is wearing an army uniform and running away. Kadyrov troops are as ethnic russians as any other russian. What is even an "ethnic russian"? If a soldier from Tyva is an ethnic russian why a guy from Chechnya isn't?
  17. the other alternative is them killing you. Not sure if that one's better than preventing them doing this via prison. after all the reminder here is that this isn't some border dispute. This is russians and their collaborators wanting to completely eliminate Ukrainians. We can not exist in a russian world. They don't see us being alive as an option.
  18. Prig betrayed his master. Keeping traitors alive sends a signal to other would be traitors that they can get away with it. There can be no one else to benefit so much from it.
  19. if only russian AD shot more of these "drones" daily but if they killed prig... well... too bad it wasn't us.
  20. don't need to volunteer when the delivery job order pays well
  21. yep, but one of those (Yegor Smirnov) was ordered to be sent to the frontlines in another populist move and since he most definitely holds a rank of major I wonder how's that gonna go. No way he gets to order around a battalion or even a brigade as his rank demands. No way.
  22. Can give you my take. Internal populist move designed to outshine a bunch of recent scandals. It's illegal to fire someone without a cause, especially when these firings are ordered to be made by a person with no jurisdiction (Zaluzhnyy) because we have special committees that can do that legally - and amplified by corrupt courts those heads are getting restored to their workplaces in a month tops. Move along.
  23. there are several videos near that factory that show 120mm shells casually lying around, apparently getting thrown away by the explosion
  24. Nolan taking notes on practical effects for the next movie in the quantum mechanics cinematic universe.
  25. A war criminal responsible for killing everyone in MH17 Girkin and his supporter/nazi Navalny I presume. Which one is pro-democracy and which one is antiwar I wonder.
