Yeah, like Palestinians who lived under Hamas aren’t responsible for Oct 7th.

I think you need to show active support for that government before being considered to be responsible for them. In many of these regions not supporting the dictatorship means you die. How much of Smiths policies are your fault?

That's really insane when you stop and think about it. The Russian army is supposed to be protecting Russia, and yet this is the reality.

Officially confirmed! In Sevastopol, the Ukrainian Defense Forces successfully hit the large landing ships Yamal and Azov, a communications center and several infrastructure facilities of the Russian Black Sea Fleet, the General Staff reported.
The occupiers confirm that the main communications center of the Russian Black Sea Fleet was the target of the attack. According to Russian media, 34 military personnel were killed, 40 wounded, and three Su-27 airplanes were damaged at the Belbek airfield.

The deputy chief of the GUR, Major General Vadym Skibitsky, said that Ukrainian forces used Magura V5 naval unmanned aerial vehicles to attack Russian ships. He emphasized that these Ukrainian naval drones are becoming more and more powerful and accurate.

You don't see this often. Elimination of enemy UAV pilots along with their position and equipment. They are so relaxed that they don’t wear body armor or helmets.

Those two Drone Pilots became a red mist together.

I'm actually surprised that the single Russian wasn't NSFW'd.

US, Britain, Ukraine behind Crocus City Hall attack — FSB chief
Alexander Bortnikov believes that Ukraine has been trying to prove it is capable enough
https://tass.com/emergencies/1766181
I knew the USA and the UK were behind this! It's like being in the cold war with this kind of propaganda, except it is far less stable.

Wait, so they arrest 4 suspects that subsequently confess, and ISIS claims responsibility. But now it's the US, UK and Ukraine?

Oh Russia... Never stop Russia-ing

Yeah, were all (mostly) pro-Ukraine, but I can use my imagination about what happens when an exploding drone hits a human being head on. The only dead body I would take pleasure in seeing is Putin. Actual graphic images of dead soldiers and civilians should probably be behind NSFW. That said, its a thread about a war so...

I do appreciate the amount of footage there is of all of this in general though. Pretty remarkable seeing the drone capabilities and the fields of mine craters etc..

Putin's Gilligan (Lukashenko) undermines Russia's Ukrainian argument by stating the suspects were heading for Belarus.

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world...rs/ar-BB1kzCMC

Quote:
Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko said his country's security, with the help of Russia's Federal Security Service, tried to prevent Crocus City Hall shooting suspects from entering Belarus.

"There was no chance they could enter Belarus," Lukashenko said, according to the state-run Belarusian Telegraph Agency. "So they took a turn and headed to the Ukraine-Russia border."

He should have walked through the brush where it's harder to fly a drone through. I get that it takes more energy, but he kept looking behind him like he could hear a drone.

Part of me wonders if a soldier alone like that was deserting or looking for somewhere to surrender.

I want to try to encapsulate the magnitude of big picture problems Russia is having. So here is a list:

Viktor Orbán UNDER FIRE in corruption scandal again as thousands came out in Budapest on Tuesday demanding the Hungarian prime minister to resign

https://twitter.com/user/status/1772710184764191014


Speculation in Russia that one of the people present in the Crocus City Hall concert venue during the attack may be the same person seen "detaining" and torturing one of the suspects the next day near the Belarus border.

Estimates of the number of Russian 2S19 Msta-S self-propelled guns, based on data from satellite imagery and other analysts Specifically, according to Oryx, the loss of 188 Msta-S and 38 Msta-SM was visually confirmed.

Pretty serious drop in guest count here. 194. Down from like 800 for the last few weeks? The Russian bot networks must be busy pushing Crocus Concert Hall propaganda.

Russia is still claiming Zelensky is behind the Crocus attack calling him a "Particular Kind of Jew". In Russia propagandist's eyes now, Zelensky is basically an Islamic Terrorist Nazi Jew. They really are twisting themselves into a pretzel to making their pre-made propaganda work.
