Grouchio posted:Wait will that mean the Russian Wikipedia will no longer be accessible to the Western world? I use the Russian wiki for a lot of historical research. That tweet seems to be inaccurate, but I think Wikipedia is hosted in the US regardless of language so it would be more likely to disconnect Russia from Wikipedia entirely

That tweet is a bit misleading, the document only applies to Russian government, not private sites 2. Russian Wikipedia is hosted in the US. Even if Russia institutes Chinese-style internet censorship, Russian Wikipedia will likely remain, like Chinese Wikipedia, independent.

The_Franz posted:They already can't get paid with the SWIFT ban. From what I heard, OnlyFans was able to find a way around it a few days ago and things are working normally for Russian creators, though they're understably concerned about what the future holds. quote:"As a global business, OnlyFans stands by our creators and understands that they are not responsible for these heinous acts," the company said in a statement. "After experiencing financial restrictions we have been able to restore account activity for creators in all countries. Their accounts will have full functionalities as long as we continue to have payment methods to support them. We were not terminating or suspending any creator accounts based on the creator’s location, and we are doing everything we can to support our community." While researching this, I found this fun article from The Daily Star: OnlyFans model vows to 'personally have sex' with every Russian soldier who defies Putin https://www.dailystar.co.uk/news/world-news/onlyfans-model-vows-personally-sex-26344863.amp She could be busy soon.

One imagines that the “captured” stuff includes a lot of material that has flat tires, stuck in mud, etc.,; is it really realistic that a lot of this stuff is getting mobile under Ukrainian control or is it more likely they just destroy it when they get control?

If you have the ability to send it places and convert in and out of real money you could just skip the crypto and convert money without crypto

If anyone had any illusions about how the Russian cops are treating the protestors they arrest (lol if you did) a Russian journalist recorded her own beating and interrogation and released it to western journalists https://twitter.com/KevinRothrock/status/1500603273367244804?t=Dpe50OtXpSwjftrZO8XDMQ&s=19 Edit:  for Russian speakers - violence, abusive languageEdit2: "the fifth" is a localization for english/American speakers. The thread explains that the correct Russian reference would be "the 51st" KitConstantine fucked around with this message at 00:03 on Mar 7, 2022 |

It's probably just listed as captured if it's not obviously destroyed and the guy that does the tally has no way of knowing what happens after the picture is taken or video ends.

My guess is though that they are so short on airframes they are pulling whatever they can in now and at best have fighter escort for the bombing missions at worst strap dumb bombs to the racks and have them carpet bomb. Either way it isn't good for the Russia Air Force.

I would be astonished if anything vehicle shaped survives longer than it takes to deny it, but the convoys of recon and VDV vehicles getting ambushed are probably getting ransacked for every piece of ammo and kit the Ukranians can carry off with them.

The Ukrainians have shown they have been repairing captured equipment and returning it to the field. A ton of working stuff they just give a slap a quick paint job on it and take it right back into the theater.

BoldFace posted:I don't think Putin is as afraid of protests as he is about workers going on a strike. Have to agree with this. Striking is perfectly legal, and kind of difficult to poo poo on given the history of the country; which is bound to cause some eye-popping numbers potentially as early as next week.

It sucks that regular people would have their livelihood cut off because of Putin's hubris. I'm curious as to how they did it though, as the article doesn't give any details. I'd guess they are moving it through an intermediary country like China since they apparently have their own system.

Yeah, they likely do. Western financial system is notoriously hostile to anything related to sex already, due to US Evangelicals.

Or desperation as he hopes his most loyal violent types will get it done where the military did not; and these dudes are also dying. A lot of them.
