Some very weird poo poo going on at Russia's Southern Military District HQ.

"A fire broke out" is very much a euphemism with random gunfire and bystanders huddling behind cars while the HQ is flaming with grenade sounding explosions.

Reporting from Ukraine is showing footage of a UAF FPV drone making a run at a Russian helicopter. Since any helo completely outclasses an FPV drone for speed and maneuverability, they probably released this so RuAF attack helos have to worry about drones if they hover to guide an ATGM. This is an enabler for Ukrainian tanks and just another reminder that any pre-existing rock-paper-scissors relationships have been remade in this war.

After some discussion it has been decided that posting from the POV of "bad Russia" should not give the poster carte blanche to say phrases or slurs that would otherwise lead to punishment. If you're going to try to skirt this rule be aware that even if your post is very funny or makes a very good point it won't exempt you from getting popped for it.

It has been a thread tradition to clown on Russia's bad social policies and injustices and this doesn't need to stop, especially because highlighting the world's ills through a humourous lens is what this forum does very well. I don't want to stop anyone from attempting a joke but please keep in mind that even if you're posting from another perspective it's still you posting the words.

Quoting this once for emphasis.

Occasional hiccup aside, this thread has been doing well, and I want to thank you all. :hfive:

I would assume that this is a case of:

""Greenland is traditionally a part of Russia, and therefore nuking it to the ground to prevent the perfidious West from getting it was a good decision, plus NATO forced our hand by flying over it", says World's Biggest Clown, Putin" <- still perfectly fine.

"Greenland is traditionally a part of Russia, and eridicating the {load-bearing slurs} from there by nuking it to the ground was a good decision, plus NATO forced our hand by flying over it", says World's Biggest Clown, Putin" <- probe time

If so, this is a good rule. Ironic bigotry is still bigotry, and slurs are still slurs even if you put them in the mouth of a world class shithead like Putin.

Maksim Zelenov confessed to http://gulagu.net that Russia mass-murdered civilians in Ukrainian villages near Bakhmut and Soledar during the offensive. They murdered everyone there simply because they were Ukrainians. Russian "liberation" is actually ethnic cleansing. He's a former Russian police officer who got into jail for murder, but Putin released him so he could join Wagner and do dirty work for Russian troops in Ukraine. When the area had been "cleansed," the Russian army entered. Russia celebrated massacring Ukrainians and taking Soledar. This is how Russian heroes are born.

Russia invades Thailand to regain the troops as an investment to win in Ukraine, also an investment. After they take over Armenia they can trade in cards to have enough troops to take over Turkey and regain all its Russian draft dodgers, and from there they will have enough horses and cannons to retake Alaska

What's the situation re: grain shipments ?

Last I heard Erdogan was totally gonna send his navy to protect the corridor, Russia pulled some bullshit boarding a boat in the black sea and in between Ukraine may have missiled a russia oil tanker.
Now the news cycle has dropped the topic.

Did putin deliver on his generous offer to deliver 12 (twelve) bags of barely used wheat to Africa ?

There's no reports of any of the (tiny amounts of) free grain even reaching Africa at the moment. And right now monke is spamming drones at Odesa because he doesn't care.

Erdogan and Putin met in Sochi earlier this week about it. Putin is pushing to get Russia’s agricultural bank reconnected to SWIFT and one other thing about logistics (I read his demands yesterday but of course I can’t find the article now). Putin is saying he’ll send grain to Turkey for further transport to Africa.

Here’s a sample article I looked at for sourcing’s sake: https://apnews.com/article/russia-ukraine-turkey-putin-erdogan-sochi-ac41cb453a6d6c597d543873850414eb
