You know what really irritates me about all this?
I've always been into maps and globes an shit like that.
Russia is, as I'm sure you're likely aware - FUCKING HUGE.
I've always marvelled at it when I see an atlas, or whatever.
Use some of the space you've already got, pootin, you silly goose.

- I reckon that's a big part of the problem and why so keen to control the neighbours, given how many and far flung they are.Fax_Benson

“I wouldn’t want to keep money in a bank that can’t access the SWIFT system. Once a bank can’t transfer or receive funds from other banks, its solvency can be at risk. If I were Russian, I would take my money out now. Bank runs could begin in Russia on Monday.“
- Won't Swift ban be bad for USD?shapesalad
- Do it! Two birds with one stonedrgs
- I asked this before, but how far can Russia hack into our banking system as a retaliation.pinkfloyd

Wow it's amazing to see the tide turning and the entire world coming together to support Ukraine.
Putin shunned by world as his hopes of quick victory evaporate

Ukraine’s military: Russian advancement slows down, the enemy runs at its operational limit, supplies are getting scarce and logistics are poorly coordinated. Morale is low. Attempts to isolate Kyiv are not successful.
- grafician1
“ BREAKING: US Senator Marco Rubio says Russian President Putin's plan was to establish air dominance within 24 hours, destroy Ukrainian military communications within 36 hours, encircle Kyiv within 48 hours and install a 'puppet government' within 72 hours.”
“ BREAKING: US Senator Marco Rubio, who is Vice Chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee, says Russian military leaders should think 'very carefully' before following orders they 'recently received' “
- grafician3
“Measures against Russia, today.
- US and EU to cut selected banks from SWIFT
- Sanctions on Russia's Central Bank, aimed at preventing it from accessing reserves
- EU set to close airspace to Russian planes
- Preparation for more measures against Russian individuals”
Russia already lost the economic war and the media war...
- Russia and world relations will never be the same again. This is worse than cold-war era. Putin totally isolated them now.NBQ00
- Onerous sanctions lead to Pearl Harbor. Tora Tora Tora.********

The news I'm seeing on Twitter is so positive for Ukraine and negative for Russia that I started to wonder if we are falling prey to confirmation bias of some sort.
Like it seems almost like a bunch of drunken Russian teenage soldiers randomly driving around Ukraine in tanks until they run out of fuel?
Not sure how to interpret all of this yet, I thought Putin was supposed to be a brilliant strategist.
- Time will tell, I guess.********
- The Western media is waging a psychological war designed to encourage Ukrainians and demoralize the Russians. The reality on the battlefield is different.pablo28
- There is a lot of propaganda on both sides.pablo28
- so far any confirmed death on Ukrainian side is 13 on snake island. so ya i'm very aware its very one sided on social media.pango
- Even though I’m all for the Ukraine I can really see the bias towards them.Chimp
- HAHAHAHA, holy fuck you guys are so brainwashed you don't know which way is upMilan
- I'm not so paranoid to think that the reality on the battlefield is totally unknown. You can see the movement of troops, which cities they have taken etcyuekit
- Clearly Russia has not taken control of major cities or captured Ukraine's leadership. But then again no one understands what their actual goals are.yuekit
- The reality is there‘s both, the absurd and not so absurd stories. I know the Russians are overwhelming force but I still like to read the Ukrainian successes.NBQ00
- That doesn‘t mean that I ignore reality and that there‘s propaganda on both sides as always in a war.NBQ00
- milan doesn´t even have a brain that could be washed.. hiiahahaaneverscared
- i´am pretty sure though. vlad planned he could push fru fast...and get all done by now.neverscared
- I literally posted Vlad plans 2 POSTS AGO from Marco Rubio from US intel
Obv Vlad plans have failed so fargrafician - Milan's so brain washed. He knows Putin funds far right nazis. Yet he still pedaling denazification BS.pango
- Doesn't matter how 'brilliant' putin is, if you are some 19 year old kid, thinking army would be fun and beers, then told to go kill in the country next door..shapesalad
- ..for not decent reason other than if you don't you get shot... once there your motivation is going be zero...shapesalad
- yeah Ukr side is also spreading fake stuff at a very high level. Zelenskyy tweet of Turkey closing Bosphorus to Russian ships was an example.Beeswax
- I started writing, then didn't post, as much y'day, yuekit - except I felt mainstream media was more pessimistic whilst online is positively jubilant. So odd.Nairn
- Levels of manipulation and propaganda last seen in the covid-sphere.********
- Were you guys as enthusiastic about the Iraqi insurgents who so bravely fought the illegal American invasion and occupation?Khurram
- Cos I could give you the rough whereabouts of about 1.5bn people who were passing out candy everytime a Yankee was sent home in a body bag.Khurram
- "Just sayin'"Khurram
- Kinda looks bad... https://twitter.com/…Khurram
- Khurram - you aint alone dude. Was literally just talking about this to my wife and kids.
my daughter was wondering why folks aren't this upset for everyoneexador1 - else in the same situations...
pretty easy to figure out.exador1 - he knew he fucked up the moment he said it.pango
- however....
i think a LOT of this is because all of us grew up with WW2 as a big part of our lives. our grandparents all fought (or atleast a lot of them did)exador1 - hell.... mine fought against each other lol...(being half german)
so i think seeing something that looks an awulf lot like WW2 is kinda freaking people out.exador1 - Exador! Glad I finally caught you here. Thank you brother-in-law Justin from be for his excellent podcast. I listen avidly!Khurram
- but your point is 100% valid.
western/white media doesn't tend to look at these things all with the same level of intensity.exador1 - Both my grandparents also fight in WW2 for the British Empire. One was involved in the liberation of Italy.Khurram
- The Iraq War happened two decades ago, there was no social media where you could follow individual people on the ground.yuekit
- But one parallel is that it was just as obvious (or should have been) that the pretext for war was bullshit in both cases. And yet some people fell for it.yuekit
- Khurram you need to take the blinders off a bit. There were thousands and thousands of massive anti-war protests in the US in response to Dick Cheney's wars.garbage
- 50 thousand hit the streets in Seattle, so maybe stop assuming all Americans are jingoistic xenophobes.garbage
- Don't remember seeing people on here cheering the Shia uprising in Basra or sharing Muqtada al-Sadr memes ¯\_(ツ)_/¯Khurram
- And at what point did i make that assumption and who mentioned all Americans?Khurram
- Imagine Elon Musk setting up Starlink for the Iraqi insurgents, bwahahahahahahahKhurram
- Or Facebook banning the US government, HahahahhahaahhaKhurram
- Too funny, sorry, you entirely missed my point.Khurram
- I didn't miss your point. You're taking too many headshots mate, bit unhinged.garbage
- maybe it has something to do with russian army took away all their soldier's phone. that's why whatever being shared live on the ground is mostly from Ukrainianpango
- i dont get if russian army was there to "denazification" wouldnt they show some photos of them killing or capturing nazis?pango
- Right, that's what it is.Khurram
- And don't call me mate. I ain't your mate.Khurram
- Pretty snowflake look there mate.garbage
- I mean that what they said they are going to do. They're not even giving any effort pretending any more.pango
- Sorry pango, my message was to garbage who's only retort was I'd taken many headshots. I'll be your mate xKhurram

- Why don‘t you just fuck off you Putin lover and Russia apologist.NBQ00
- fuck you nazi scumMilan
- We’re all nazis here, correctNBQ00
- Zelensky = Jewish Nazi
Putin = Communist Naziyuekit - Putin is decommunizing and denazifying Ukraine.Milan
- You‘re a fucking idiot, Milan. Many civilian casualties caused by Russians as Putin said he‘s doing it for peacekeeping purposes. Go fuck yourself.NBQ00
- Ukrainian Nazis killed 15,000 civilians in Donbas over the past 8 years. You didn't cry for them, did you? STFUMilan
- Donbas are separatist Nazis, why do you support Nazis Milanyuekit
- yuekit, why are you a dumb, racist, xenophobic nazi?Milan
- Lol we got a new hayoth. Everyone's a nazi to himpango
- JEWISH NAZI! LOLpango
- Milan-2
The Ukrainian soldiers that were “brutally massacred” after telling a Russian warship to “go fuck yourself” on Snake Island are still all alive with no casualties.
So many lies.

I keep wondering if Sting is going to release that song again...
- Milan-6
- Ukraine: Nazism, denazification, banderovets, residential area artillery, and guns for everyoneMilan
- Ypu are a frigging morontank02
- Why do you believe for a second that Putin cares about "denazification" when he funds far right movements across the world?yuekit
- It's such a goofy rationale for a war, at least Bush put in a little token effort in with the WMD thing.yuekit
- USA and NATO do that, yuekit. They fund, arm and train terrorists all over the world on the principle of "the enemy of my enemy is my friend."Milan
- No wait...the question was why you think Putin cares about the far right when he is the #1 supporter of them.yuekit
- https://www.nbcnews.…yuekit
- So Milan is saying Putin fund the nazi in Ukraine... Because the nazis are enemy of Ukraine and Ukraine is enemy of Russia...pango
- https://www.scienced…yuekit
- So that he can invade Ukraine with the pretext to eradicate nazi...
Russia made up the nazi thing to invade ukraine...pango - Yet Milan still pedalling the nazi bullshit.pango
