I also have no doubts that kind of poo poo is happening at the borders and it's incredibly hosed up.

That's the same twitter account that said that Ukrainians would never EVER resist russian soldiers, they would lay down their arms and welcome them as brothers. A few months ago.

Hyrax Attack! posted:Woah! Fascinating if that holds up, wonder if he's still uneasy about his grip on power and nervous watching domestic unrest in Russia and doesn't think he could survive that again. It seems like his grip on power has been tenuous. He's presumably propped up by Russian money and resources, but it seems like both of those are going to be in very short supply for a while and I suspect he'll find himself near the back of the line. How excited will his military and police be to hold the line if they stop being able to make payroll and food starts becoming scarce? That's not even to mention actually marching over the border to fight a war that seems to be going very poorly. No idea what the historical relationship is between Belarus and Ukraine is, but I don't recall hearing about any strong animosity between the two, which makes going to fight even less popular.

The video will give you context but basically there was a website online that seemed to be run by an open pedophile that seemed to deal in hitmen jobs; they listed jobs in coded phrases, and some dates of their jobs lined up with the big coordinated assassinations, including Hamas leader Mahmoud al Mabhuoh. It was also linked to ammunition sales in that those assassins used credit cards from Lake City UT, down the road from the ammo plant there. It's also possible it's bullshit fiction of a Mike Adams, who has a Goodreads list that reads books with plots like this, and all domains involved originated under the same person at the same time: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WoaeY4bKbbc It wouldn't be the first hoax I got caught up in lol Wasabi the J fucked around with this message at 21:14 on Mar 4, 2022 |

CommieGIR posted:Effectively already has, part of the referendum was basically giving Russia the leeway to station forces, including their nuclear forces, in Belarus. The referendum removed the ban on Russia stationing nukes in Belarus, but it's still up to Lukashenko to agree to such a move. Which I'm not sure he will do any time soon.

There was a commercial pilot that lied about having experience with a French fighter type and just started flying for some middle eastern country. There’s probably at least one Ukrainian ATPL that has some hours in DCS A-10. What could go wrong?

Not even exaggerating, there was that ridiculous report about how Putin put extra attractive aides in the room when meeting with trump to distract him, it was that amateurish (and effective). Ukraine definitely have gotten less support from the EU as they'd (rightly) not trust trump to not betray them or NATO, and Ukraine would have had far less effective defense without NATO weapons and intelligence.

Plastic_Gargoyle posted:Fun fact: these codes ("bort numbers," meaning "side number," although the Russian references I have never use that phrase) only represent the aircraft's number in its individual unit. So in the entire VKS, there could be a 5-10 different "04 White"s of various types flying around. This is actually a thing used to confuse intelligence agencies and has been known since WWII. In statistics it's called the German tank problem and picking random values from a set of a million numbers is one of the ways to prevent estimates of how many aircraft they actually have.
