Russo-Ukrainian War - 2022 Edition - Part 5

[The Trutherizer]

Why would they need bombers? I was under the impression that their nuclear missiles have the capabilities of being launched from within Russia and fast enough to reach US, UK or EU within seconds. Does the bombers have other pro's over the missiles?

Putin is probably convinced that if he rattles enough sabres, then the "West" will eventually be cowed into... What was it again? Completely and utterly subjugating themselves to Moscow's whims.
It'd be good if he could just finally figure out that it's a bad deal. Too bad a deal by far. My bet: No sale. He should have given up when Trump failed to steal a 2nd term. If he's not willing to blow his brains out in his bunker while his plans crumble around him, then why should the world fall for his suicide bomber act? Whatever else - Putin wants to live his best life while he can. As long as he can keep the Russians convinced he did his best and it was all the fault of the evil "West" that his plans failed, then he's set for the remainder of his life. His surviving collaborators will lay him to rest next to fellow crazy, Lenin, in a nice glass coffin in a very nice museum after his clock runs out.

Elon is such a thin skinned baby.

Remember how put out he was when his idiotic micro submersible was rejected in the rescue of those kids in Thailand?

To be fair he's given a lot of aid to Ukraine, and he was probably getting death threats from pro-Russian simps at a pace. Possibly a few pro-Ukrainian as well in recent days.

The "Khrushchev's mistake" comment was retarded though. I mean dear gosh... Crimea was transferred to Ukraine by politburo decree. Approved by both Moscow and Ukraine at the time - Considered 100% in accordance with the USSR's constitution. A few decades later Ukraine declares independence with Moscow's blessing. Crimea along with it. When was the "constitutional credentials" of the move officially revisited in Russia (as if the USSR's constitution still applies in the Russian Federation!!!), and of course declared invalid? 2015. The year after Putin annexed Crimea... The convenience simply knows no limits [sic]

Zero surprise he pissed a lot of people off.

Russian occupiers steal watercraft in Kherson in order to cross the Dnipro – General Staff

KATERYNA TYSHCHENKO — FRIDAY, 14 OCTOBER 2022, 18:31

www.pravda.com.ua

Quote: "The occupiers seized 13 out of 15 barge-type watercraft in the local river port of the temporarily occupied city of Kherson for transporting personnel and equipment across the Dnipro River."


Details: The General Staff also reported that the occupying authorities of Crimea issued an order specifying the procedure for the "evacuation" of museums. In particular, internal [within the occupied region] and external [to the territory of the Russian Federation] evacuation plans have been approved for the museums of the temporarily occupied peninsula. Exhibits with the greatest material value are subject to priority evacuation.

This is the symbol under the Hague Convention for a cultural property that may not be attacked nor occupied by a military force to make it a legitimate military target. It will be displayed outside a museum. But Russia is known to ignore any of the rules of war:

Speculation or do you know?

 

[Cosmik Debris]

The irony, they were shouting about the West's authoritarian manner.

They will see it coming
They have bases around the world and submarines, Russia can hit every major city or capital in the northern hemisphere in an hour

And be destroyed by a retaliation strike within the next hour. Brilliant idea hey?

These sort of things are quite common. Google them: here's one from 2008

Russian bomber buzzes U.S. aircraft carrier - CNN.com

American fighter jets intercepted two Russian bombers, one of which buzzed a U.S. aircraft carrier in the western Pacific on Saturday, U.S. military officials told CNN Monday.

Happens often near Scotland too. The ignorant on here have no idea about how often penetration operations take place and knee jerk when they hear about it:

Guns from the 1950's They are still effective if several are used in close proximity as a battery. But that makes them a nice artillery target.

Russians Buy Books on Nazi Germany, WWII Following Mobilization Call - The Moscow Times

Russians are increasingly buying books about Nazi Germany and World War II following President Vladimir Putin’s “partial” mobilization of civilian reservists for the war in Ukraine.

www.themoscowtimes.com

Sales of Nicholas Stargardt’s “The German War: A Nation Under Arms, 1939-1945,” which explores how German citizens perceived the events of the war, were up fivefold in the Chitai Gorod (“Read City”) bookstore chain following Putin’s Sept. 21 mobilization announcement.

The LitRes online bookstore reported a seventeenfold increase in sales of Stargardt’s book.

The Alpina publishing house said it saw a 40% increase in sales of Viktor Frankl's “Yes to Life: In Spite of Everything,” which describes the psychology of being in a concentration camp. Sales of digital copies of Frankl’s book on LitRes were 3.7 times higher in September as well.

Putin is probably convinced that if he rattles enough sabres, then the "West" will eventually be cowed into... What was it again? Completely and utterly subjugating themselves to Moscow's whims.
It'd be good if he could just finally figure out that it's a bad deal. Too bad a deal by far. My bet: No sale. He should have given up when Trump failed to steal a 2nd term. If he's not willing to blow his brains out in his bunker while his plans crumble around him, then why should the world fall for his suicide bomber act? Whatever else - Putin wants to live his best life while he can. As long as he can keep the Russians convinced he did his best and it was all the fault of the evil "West" that his plans failed, then he's set for the remainder of his life.

No way the fckhead gets a glass coffin.
