I've never heard of sieging someone's capital city as a feint. I guess the self-congradulatory propaganda message declaring taking over Ukraine they sent out too early in the first days of the war was also just a feint.

After Mighty Russia gets driven out of Ukraine the official line of stupid Russian bots will be to declare the whole war as a feint to deplete NATO and then go "xaxaxaxa we still did a lot of damage and killed a lot of innocent people", not that they have any shame for them to understand how twisted thinking like that is

On one hand, while I understand, it’s vodka to Russia. Explicitly, very loud and proud Swedish vodka. The same Sweden they’ve been antagonizing with fake news reports, weird nonsense IT attacks and the whole, uh, NATO thing.

If they want Swedish vodka so badly, they ought to act like it. Do you want the precious globohomo likker?

More on those Russian beheading video's:

quote:

...

The grainy and extremely graphic video appears to have been filmed on a mobile phone, and possibly during the summer months. It shows a man in military uniform wearing a yellow armband - frequently worn as identifying symbols by Ukrainian soldiers.

The perpetrator and other men visible in the clip have white bands on their legs, which Russian soldiers are known to wear as a means of identification.

They can also be heard to speak Russian, although that is not conclusive as many Ukrainians speak Russian too.

Video frames showing a yellow armband and white cloth leg wrapping used by Ukrainian and Russian soldiers respectively

During the short video, the victim with the yellow armband is beheaded by a man with a large knife who is wearing a white band around his leg.

At one point, one of the men holds up body armour with a trident mark - the state symbol of Ukraine - and the comment "Mercenaries!" can be heard.

The body armour features what looks like the Punisher symbol (a comic-book character), which in the current conflict has been spotted being worn by fighters on both sides.

There has been speculation online that the video was filmed near the city of Kreminna in eastern Ukraine.

The BBC has been unable to verify these claims as the video's surrounding features offer too few visual clues to identify its location, such as buildings or specific landscape points.

It also remains unclear when the footage was filmed. It looks as if it's from the current conflict, where white and yellow armbands have been used by opposing sides as identification.

The leaves in the video are bright green which suggests that it may have been from late spring or summer last year.

Some social media users have suggested it may have been filmed in July but we cannot verify this.

The clip began circulating on Telegram late on Tuesday, after a popular pro-Kremlin blogger shared it to his nearly 300,000 followers.

He later claimed he was not the original source of the video and that the footage had been on Telegram before he posted it. We have been unable to find any earlier versions of this video.

The video has since spread to Twitter.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that "in the world of fakes that we inhabit, we need to check the veracity of this footage".

Another video purporting to show the aftermath of an alleged beheading has also been circulating on social media in recent days.

The video shows what appears to be a destroyed military vehicle. A man filming the scene says in Russian that it had driven over a mine. At least two bodies without heads and hands can be seen lying on the ground nearby.

A yellow armband is visible on the right arm of one of the bodies, suggesting the victims had been fighting on the Ukrainian side. At least three other soldiers can be seen standing over the two bodies.

New intercepted calls dropped. This time it's just two mobiks moaning about their conditions in the field, one complaining about being nearly encircled and having lost two thirds of the people in his company, sardonically saying that the only way to get back home now was to be either wounded badly or KIA. The same soldier says that "everything is great only on TV, it's all lies." The officers don't give a drat, they leg it first when it looks like things go bad, get me out of here, he finishes.

Second person says that it's impossible or very difficult to return the dead for burial because they keep getting ambushed in wooded areas. This guy claims they're running low on any kind of vehicles or armored equipment. Food and water are almost non-existent, and he complains that they live like hobos at best. Which, considering the pictures we've seen of Russian trench systems and camps, checks out. He doesn't even know how long he has to stay, hasn't received warm clothes either. His mother says she'll pray for him towards the end of the call.

Yeah absolutely presidential. There was a feint in the Desert Storm where they made it look like there was going to be an amphibious assault on the occupied Kuwait in order to force Saddam to keep part of his army defending the coasts

Its a new term for feeling an unpleasant, sour and tangy taste in your mouth.

Hershey's chocolate is widely believed by non-Americans to taste like vomit, due to using Butyric Acid as an ingredient.

Seymour Hersh's articles on Ukraine have recently been proven to have a similar effect, making most people reading feel sick in their mouth.
