Lyrics:

Near a home, boys loaded their Javelins, These rockets bring down orcs like sacred daggers.
They'd better go home, fuck them like their ships!
Good Lord, Javelin, what you're doing to muscovites?

When Javelins are fired, the enemy dies fast, Javelin, Javelin, dear Javelin! Javelin, Javelin, awesome Javelin!

Enemy collects their shot down tanks and BTRs, Though then ruscists will lie that "We have no losses".
Katsaps will flee to Siberia, unlike our mighty people, Somewhere in a bunker, even dickhead-Putin will shit himself!

When Javelins are fired, the enemy dies fast, Javelin, Javelin, dear Javelin! Javelin, Javelin, awesome Javeli

Apparently those killed were Ukrainanes. They mistaken that thank for an ally. I've seen the aftermath. It's not pretty. RIP.

Got a link bro? Not that I don't believe you, just if there's any story on it. Can use Google translate no problem, have some Slavic understanding but only for basic things.

Hard to feel sorry for them but bloody hell at the same time. This will just make things even worse when he appoints animals in their place. (not that the ones jailed aren't, just the replacements will be worse).
They are going to have to be very creative and depraved people to be worse.

Exactly, considering the actions taken already against Ukrainians.

I imagine it would be 'take the post and instructions or you and your family is killed'.

They have to be supplying them with pills like the Nazi's with yaba pills. (That later leaked over into Asia from WW2).

I cannot fathom how else. Get your hit when you make a hit. They must be walking zombies.

Sadly the Tweet that I've seen was deleted and I'm not in the mood to look for another source as it was too much to be honest. All that's left is a one still image from that video.

I keep on waiting for the supposed 'devastating' sanctions to do something but it just seems to be business as normal in Russia. An estimated 11% drop in GDP by the end of the year doesn't really give me much confidence that they're doing much.

And we probably don't know how correct or adherent this kind of statistics will be since Russia is artificially pumping both the Ruble and Moex e.g. This Kind of movement, in one way or another, also hinders the ability to estimate and spread the correct numbers independently.

if the pandemic taught us anything, it was not to trust statistics made by autocracies.

Putin says that Russia's atrocities in Bucha are fake, and Lukashenko says that it is "British special operation" - Russia Vs World​

Yeah.. What to say.. Anyway, I'm also sad to see some of my favorite youtubers go full conspiracy as well. Like Jimmy Dore :( Here he's clearly suggesting that Bucha didn't happen, and it's Ukrainian and American (?) propaganda. I couldn't watch the whole video because it quickly made me nauseous. So if there's something I missed, please let me know:





On a lighter note: My wife's mother have been on a relatively crazy three day travel with a smuggler-bus from the middle of a Russia occupied city, south to Crimea, then a long bus ride West through Crimea to Georgia, and then through Georgia to Tiblis. From there she took a flight to Germany this morning, and now she's in Norway :) My wife has been looking like she has some weight lifted from her shoulders, been tough for her this shit. There's a lot of family and friends left in Ukraine, but at least it's one less major worry.

Sanctions are mostly being done in the developed world. The BRICS countries are still trading as usual with Russia, some even increasing.

Please tell me that the news of the news in Russia is a bit distorted on our end. How can we seriously sit back and let that kind of propaganda continue? It's really creating a dystopian reality in that country, and all the trendlines right now are pointing towards nazi Germany. I mean, seriously...this isn't hyperbolic. How are we trending in this very dangerous direction, so casually? Is this what the run up to WW2 felt like for the average westerner?

He also lied when he said that chemical weapons were not used in Syria. Then, when he was caught taking money from Syria, he also lied about that being some sort of conspiracy against him. He is a lying scummy liar who lies to defend himself and people who commit genocide. Probably the worst sort of liar. Maybe there are worse types.

Worse types. Putin the little psycho will continue to do it while smiling until he is killed.

Not really. And since when is an 11% contraction of an already contracted/suffering economy nothing - worse economic situation since the fall of the USSR? These things have fly wheels.

Jimmy Dore and Russell Brand have gone full Q-tard. They've mastered the art of baiting and feeding them what they want to hear in a subtle enough manner to avoid youtube bans. With all the real Q youtubers banned, there was a huge audience for them to absorb.

When mainstream news is getting the story right, they’re going to be doing it infinitely better than some guy on YouTube. They have journalists and camera crews on the ground overseas, translators, access to generals and analysts and politicians.

That leaves these YouTube guys without a compelling selling point for their content. So taking the conspiracy position gives them an instant audience. And of course they surge to new heights of popularity after leaning on the conspiracy angle, which encourages them to go all-in.

It’s all about the dollar, but it’s especially disgusting considering the WW2-level atrocities taking place. Not a shred of moral fiber to go around.

I agree but there still is a truckload of OSINT/analysis available on the internet that appears faster on twitter etc. and that don't break into to the mainstream. There is lot of specialists out there reporting and giving great opinions that don't even go beyond the "niche" media/independent journalist/"YT guy".

And there are others that just want to resort to the fast shit clicks of conspiracies...

Seeing Mariupol fall is heart breaking. Feels like the beginning of the end at this point...
I'm hoping it's the start of a new beginning.
I'm hoping with the Orcs pulling out of the north and focusing on the East and South, Ukraine is also pivoting to match and they're the ones with momentum.
Gives some time to regroup, repair, and rearm in the 'safer' regions of the country before going ape-shit and taking all their territory back.
Ukraine+Crimea 2022!

What's happened to Dore, Brand, Kim Iversen et al on this? I mean, why are they against helping Ukraine defend itself? This is not a regime-change war, this is about helping Ukrainians fight for their freedom and their homeland. That's what THEY want also. Do they want Ukrainians to just surrender to be Russian serfs for all time? And would it be OK to for Russia to go for Moldova next then? Then Georgia? Where does the line end for these people? Modern day Chamberlains.

Purely, 100% down to the fact Europe is still sending Putin billions for his gas.
