You follow the path
fitting into an infinite pattern.

Yours to manipulate, to destroy and rebuild.

Now, in the quantum moment
before the closure
when all become one.

One moment left.
One point of space and time.

I know who you are.

You are Destiny.

rus announced they've finished moving 70k people out of Kherson. Isn't deportation (some of them likely pro Ukraine) a war crime?

Also rus freely admitting that mobiks are going to be first line of defense. This is going to be a sad blood bath.

Huh. 'Z' is, of course, ubiquitous among Russian forces and supporters of the special military operation, but I haven't really seen the use of 'V' yet. I'm assuming it conveys roughly the same (lovely) message.

The tweet does actually raise an interesting point - how did they come to settle on Z and V, what do they signify, and why did they pick Latin letters? That's like if the US army picked random Cyrillic letters to represent one of its wars.

Z, V and others letters that were used originally denoted to which front or army group that particular vehicle was assigned to. The Z was most common as is was the biggest, and the one that was going to take Kyiv and northern parts, so that stuck as the overall symbol.

Why go with western letters instead of cyrillic? Who knows.

Well the z is half a stylized swastika, and the Russians are definitely Not Nazis, while Ukrainians are Not Zs.

That's called a Cassus Belli for you non-war-understanders out there. The De-Not-Z-ification proceeds poorly.

Blocking detachment, the caller is already on the frontline, but officially they're still training. A familiar story, they were mauled in the first line, the leftovers were moved to the 2nd line, no food, nothing. The prisoners were moved to the first line. 2nd and 3rd line act as blocking detachments.

Who's stopping the first line just putting up white flags and walking into the Ukrainian lines?

The constant artillery raining from the skies is probably a big deterrent. These waves are getting annihilated by shells with little face to face combat from what I understand - run forward, get blown up, retreat, get yelled at for retreating, get sent back in.

It's a pretty loving despicable waste of human life imo

Listen, if it's not Nazi fascism to not want your country raped and genocided by a neighboring semipower, I just don't know what Nazi fascism is anymore.

All of this "resisting invasion" bloodlust has got to stop and until it does I'm going to have to stalk people and maybe do some light racisms.

There's no other way.

That's kind of the most obvious thing. The places that Russia has re-colonized basically turn into bandit kingdoms. Chechnya is the fate of Ukraine if it surrendered. And beyond obtaining their own national identity, the fate of becoming second class abused citizens probably why they're fighting so hard.


I'm really sorry that you're being targeted by these insane tankies Set. This isn't just discussion engagement anymore and it's completely unacceptable that this problem is allowed to persist out of seemingly financial incentives at this point. Again I think admins and site ownership should really come clean about what they really want here.

Also I ventured to a the Russian newspaper being talked about and while I couldn't find this article I did find an article asking "Is Kyiv really a peaceful city?". Like really? It was until you fuckstains decided to start poo poo. Hilariously the article drones on about the presence of military contractors and their facilities in the area. I guess according to that logic East Camden, Arkansas is very NOT peaceful.

So now that not "Free speech" and Russian propaganda enthusiast Elon Musk is going to destroy Twitter, have any of the reliable Ukranian news sources talked about moving platforms? The social / decentralized news gathering power of a platform like Twitter has been super important for things like the American police riots / Iranian revolt / Russian war of imperial aggression. I would hate to see it killed by Elon taking a position along the lines "actually allowing Ukrainians on twitter will cause nuclear war."
