Is it impossible to assassinate Ptn?
This guy travels around the world, appears in public spaces, why no one even attempted?- Like poisoning someone should be really easy. Put some time activated toxi into the tomatoes that goes into his kitchenBeeswax
- or micro drones that shoot tiny needles. AM I being too futuristic?Beeswax
- do you know who will be in power after him?
didn't US do that to many central and south american countries? also Iran?pango - Where he goes the gutter covers are welded down, TMNT cant' touch him.sted
- That might open pandora's box.Chimp
- @Beeswax nah not futuristic, but kinda not very thoughtful. You hand over a reason for violence on a silver plate.sted
- this guy is the Adolf of our times. Hardly anyone can be worst to his people and other countries.Beeswax
- *worseBeeswax
- it would be better to 'reach' his advisors, twist their arms, get them to 'advise' putin and convince of a different approach.shapesalad
- Maybe just let Putin have Ukraine and anything else he wants. It's like someone taking my ex-wife, you're welcome. Yes she looks pretty, but what nightmare....shapesalad
- *what a nightmare. Meaning you take something, it's now your responsibility, and to own something is to accept all the hassle that comes with it.shapesalad
- I wonder how rebellious the Ukrainians will be if they are occupied by Russia.Chimp
- @shapesalad you know who was before him in power and why/how he had to go?sted
- I think you're missing the point. Your ex-wife will want a say in who she's with next. And Ukraine have already made it known they don't want Russian controlIanbolton
- hehh Chimp i was thinking about that if he wants to create your own in-house terrorist and opposition this is a great opportunity...sted
- Thinking back to the early days of crypto-anarchy in the 90s, there was this idea of "assassination markets"yuekit
- Basically people would pool money in a decentralized fund, which would be released to whoever carries it outyuekit
- I'm sure this wouldn't work in real life for any number of reasons but it's funny to imagine every warmongering politician having to permanently live in fearyuekit
- of totally random people coming to kill them...yuekit
- hehh, but only polticians right?
it lovely world.sted - After thinking about it Zelenskyy would be dead by now, because nothing holds you back to hijack the service :)sted
- *it would be a lovely world :)sted
- Poetic justice if it was novichok administered by that nervous spy chief who got a dressing down and publicly humiliated the other day by Putin_niko

That Uplifting Tweet You Just Shared? A Russian Troll Sent It
Here’s what Russia’s 2020 disinformation operations look like, according to two experts on social media and propaganda.
- They "think" it's the Russians. How can one write an entire article with zero proof? Journalism is a complete joke these days.lambsy
- Hmmm both gone now
https://twitter.com/…
https://twitter.com/…yuekit - Actually brilliant and accurate journalism. Did you even read or capable of comprehending the article?utopian
- lambsy = Russian, confirmed.i_monk

- Oh oh... wearing the t-shirt of a black american artist - Basquiat. Surly that's enough to get you a one way ticket to siberia in putins world?shapesalad
- Not really queer, though they've been trying appropriate him.
But certainly anti-colonial and black. Which fits in perfectly with the Russia narrrative,Khurram - He was also pretty stupid when it came to politics, doubt he'd have an opinion either way on the war.. fuck you talking about dummy.Khurram
- ^ lol. Yes he was certainly black, I don't think there's any argument there.yuekit
- The idea that Russia stands for anti-colonialism at the same time they seize land from smaller nearby countries is pretty dubious.yuekit
- Moreso their historic alignment with the liberation movements of Africa.Khurram
- They deserve credit for that but the USSR was also a form of colonialism, where ethnic Russians get privileged over central Asians, Ukrainians, etc.yuekit
- Basquiat was so queer, he even fucked Madonna.Sandder

just seen this posted on linkedin:
I've seen others, more or less the same story with the relatives and families not believing the war
kinda a similar situation when young people in the US lost relatives to trump and qanon and all that crap - but with far worse consequences this time...as Vlad "counts" on these seniors for his "support" justifying the invasion back home
It all comes down to non-stop state propaganda delivered to low-iq, low income population turned into slaves in a few decades
What would you do if you were in this woman's shoes?
- If you can get the people to believe in god, you can get them to believe anything._niko
- The main capital of any country is free flow of information and people who can navigate in itdrgs
- Diana's uncle's are Tucker Carlson and Donald Trump. And her brother in-law is Hayomook.utopian
- The thing is, this kind of people are also present in the Western world, and highly susceptible to disinfo
Hungary, Poland, Austria say higrafician - Unfortunately these people deserve the effects of the sanctions to hit them hard until they maybe finally realize what's going on.NBQ00
- utopian, that doesn't make sense.NBQ00
- @NBQ After all I've read and watched lately, I'm more and more confident they will not change their positions and go against Vladgrafician
- What we are witnessing now in Russia is the closest we can experience the '1984' book premises, but irlgrafician
- And what premises are those Aristotle?Brabo_Brabo
- It's kinda like what China and Trump have been doing, now Russia. The more you try to convince them of the reality the more it feeds into their fake narrative.shapesalad
- 'cuz they haven't experienced real personal consequences yet and even so, they could not recognise a need to change on a personal level - basically dumb slavesgrafician
- Also there's the fear of going against the narrative - as it can get your arrested etc.shapesalad
- Yes those pesky personal consequences. Easier to support anything the dictator says when it doesn't concerns you direct instead of bothering to change things.grafician
- So yeah Mother Russia, sure, continue to support Vlad, stay home and watch propaganda. Meanwhile you just lost your sons in a muddy field somewhere...grafician
- < in this case Mother Russia lost a daughter, as probably Diana won't ever return...grafician
- It's baked in the cake, really. We can only judge based on the information available to us. If you never hear an opposing viewpoint, you assume there isn't one.monNom
- This is why there is virtual unanimity in western reporting about the conflict. Propaganda requires elimination of alternate viewpoints.monNom
- You can even see it in the arts and science. Rarely is there a truly creative idea. most often, we are copying and modifying ideas we see out there....monNom
- ...If those ideas aren't accessible, the chances of you coming to them on your own are pretty slim.monNom
- Also why cults separate you from your family/friends. Once you lose those anchors, you are way more suggestable.monNom
- Sorry, "aren't accessible"?!
Russia banned Fb & Insta but kept whatsapp, you can literally write to any russian right now. Compared to North Korea...grafician - Even in North Korea they smuggle movies, music, books on fucking flash drives!
There is no excuse of "only information available" in 2022!grafician - There is only personal choice - some leave and make a better life, some stay and remain slaves. Both are responsible for their choices.grafician
- Ppl just want freedom without responsibility. That's never gonna happen and we have the wars to prove it...grafician
- "This is why there is virtual unanimity in western reporting about the conflict." Nobody wants to be on the wrong side of history...grafician
- And re: different opinions and arguments, sure, I'm all for it, are there any?
These days it seems there are only left-Karens and Brabo & teamgrafician - Very hard to remain centered with all the lunatics on both sides...grafician
- I didn't mean to imply I'm on the russian side of this. It's just how information warfare works. "Deny the enemy territory in the information space."monNom
- So it's not unusual that in Russia they have a different worldview. They've been taught to think that way since grade-school.monNom
- You'd have as much chance of convincing a Christian that jesus doesn't exist.monNom
- Isn't there a book 'getting to yes', or art of negotiation - you've got ask them questions that get them on yourside, make them think they came up with the ideashapesalad
- rather than just saying you are wrong it's this and that. That just flares up the defence mechanism.shapesalad
- I think you have to start asking whether Trump was actually good at this stuff or whether he was simply copying Putin.yuekit
- The mix of ridiculously stupid lies, nationalistic propaganda and psychological manipulation is weirdly similar.yuekit
- The USSR probably spent decades studying this stuff, figuring out exactly how dumb the average person is and how to best manipulate them.yuekit
- masters of that tradefadein11
- @monNom I got that, just wanted to reply in place and clarify things, as things are not looking too good for them
such a waste of potentialgrafician - @shape
that's actually used in their propaganda
it also worked quite well against the West on social media durring electionsgrafician

Kremlin papers appear to show Putin’s plot to put Trump in White House.
- Putin can't even control a few lousy army brigades he ACTUALLY has control over, so... he can dream all he wants and play with his crayons but the reality is...pr2
- Apparently they also funded BLM to cause more polarisation. Makes sense when you think about it.Chimp
- of course, we've been saying this all along. Trump is the ultimate stooge in every sense of the word._niko
- Soros funds BLM, no?Brabo_Brabo
- lol @ funding for BLM.
Police murdering is what fueled BLM.ShenanigansTV

One of the #Russian bloggers cries that in two days her Instagram will stop working
She does not care at all about the thousands of dead people, including her compatriots. Obviously, her biggest worry right now is that she won't be able to post pictures of food from restaurants.

- Oh no. She has to go get another job.pango

Can a wheat shortage because of Ukraine-Russia conflict really cause global famine?
I for one hardly eat any bread or wheat products. Maybe some pasta once every or second week but even that I could give up.
- According to The Healthy Thread gluten-free is the way to go.palimpsest
- Nope. Maybe a shortage for a little while in some countries and some high prices, but no. Only climate change can cause that much wide spread effectgrafician
- There will be more demand for non-wheat productsdrgs
- This is perhaps the most ludicrous n=1 sample I've ever seen on the internet.Nairn

Holy shit, I can't believe most Russians don't know what's going on as they're being fed brainwashing state news.
They think the west is waging an economic war against their country for no reason.

Task Force Rusich, a Russian mercenary unit which glories in its neo-Nazi reputation, became known for its brutality when it was first deployed to the Donbas region of eastern Ukraine during peak fighting between Russian separatist forces and the Ukrainian military in the summer of 2014.
