When and where was this taken though?


Those things have insane range so it can't really be anywhere near Ukraine?

Using even a conventional Topol M ICBM is very dangerous. It's totally unnecessary to make these types of posturing moves during heightened periods.

I mean, just imagine if they use it. American SBIRS satellites will pick up the infrared exhaust and classify it as an ICBM. There will be a few minutes of panic before a trajectory is plotted. It reminds me of something Sen. Marco Rubio just said:

"This is a very dangerous moment

Putin is increasingly angry & isolated
And NATO is outraged by his barbarity & feels increasingly threatened by his actions

At some point someone is going to take actions they may not view as an attack, but that the other side does"

-- Marco Rubio

 

[JetBlackPanda]

Was Rubio talking about cyber attacks? sure seems like it.

 

[akimbo009]

Thats a pretty pointed declaration there.

"could" doing a ton of lifting however...

 

[Jsisto]

Thats a pretty pointed declaration there.

Yup, they’re not fucking around. I knew the counterthreats would be imminent. Anyone thinking the west not getting directly involved with Ukraine was a sign of weakness is going to be proved wrong. It was unfortunately the pragmatic thing to do.

 

[NeonGhost]

That cant be good..

Should wait to see if it’s actually true why would they need to transport long range Missiles that close their target

 

[Braag]

Whats with the neo nazi and drug addict talk from Putin? Did he actually say that and expect people to believe his message?

You'd be surprised how many Russian citizens take anything Putin says as gospel.

Completely agree.. Launching one of these bad boys IMO could lead to a real retaliatory response from the West.

 

[Halo is Back]

Are your temporary privileges worth giving up a chance to steer the ship in the future and throwing away the future of your children given the circumstances?

Plenty of people have fought for thier freedom and died heroically. It's called principals. Some "future" they have with a warmonger dictator
dropping bombs on thier country.

 

[lame gag1990]

If anyone on here is from Ukraine, I hope you, your friends and family can stay safe. This is messed up.

Serbia will not sanction Russia:

 

[CGiRanger]

I'm honestly at a point where I'm suspect of all reports/videos coming out now. I've been hoodwinked by more and more fakes or misleading images the past few days that I'm gonna clear a wide berth from any assumptions automatically. Information warfare of course is going to be practiced.

All warfare is deception. Regarding news even though it flies in fast it would be better to give it a day or so to see what has actually panned out.

In short - treat it like how we watched the news and social media on the 2020 BLM riots.

How is sanctioning Putin different than sanctioning Russia? What’s the difference?

It says "we did something" in spite of knowing he has much more money off the books elsewhere.

Granted, there are times when the reports, while unverifiable, are too hot (and in this case *spicy*) to ignore...such as...

Putin's wealth are not exactly proportional of wealth of Russia. He has been sucking resources from his country for years. As any dictator he lives in luxury while his country is starving, thus sanctions of Russia does not directly influence him. You can look at Panama papers from last year, which sort of explains it better

Anonymous of old stopped right around the time RICO charges were added to hacking.

They say 1 in 4 hackers now are FBI agents and informants and they have been scooping up the all the good ones. I bet this was more internal gov payrolls than external scripters.

Yes, it's a classic Soviet propaganda tactic that has always been very successful.

Pic related, I took it this month - 1949 Soviet caricature reproduced in a Romanian magazine (a lot of Eastern European media content was coming straight from the USSR until the late '60s). It says "Winston Churchill is being paid two dollars for every word in his autobiography".

Lol I didn't even pay attention to the donkey until now, that must be the United States

What does sanctioning in the US mean? If he has any money or assets here then we just take them? Also, why would he have money or assets here?

Is this shit supposed to be funny in a moment like this??

(Not mad at you yobo)

Its just another F list celebrity with main character syndrome

 

[Liljagare]

The person in the car actually survived, but the video is unclear on most sites, as it cuts of the start. Some instances are also missing, the driver of the tank was shot, the tank was pretty much idling over the car. :\ Fucking horrible.

Not to say it's equivalent, but there have been noted "Far-Right" groups in Ukraine, that even the Facebook overlords apparently shut-down at one point. But seemingly they're undoing that ban:

Facebook is reversing its ban on posts praising Ukraine's far-right Azov Battalion, report says

Posts praising their role in defending Ukraine or being in Ukraine's National Guard will be allowed, a Meta spokesperson told Insider.

finance.yahoo.com

Facebook is backtracking on a ban it placed on users praising the Azov Battalion, a far-right paramilitary force within the Ukrainian National Guard.

The Intercept first reported the news.

Praise for the group, which is the armed wing of the country's white nationalist Azov movement, was banned in 2019 under Facebook's Dangerous Individuals and Organizations policy. The platform had classified the group alongside others such as the Ku Klux Klan and Islamic State.

A 2016 report by the OHCHR found that Azov soldiers had raped and tortured civilians during the 2014 Russian invasion of Ukraine.

But of course I'm sure Putin is bloviating for his audience.

I hope arms come soon enough to help the cause .. as the capital can fall tonight .

One can hope that if he doesn't make it, his sacrifice inspires the rest of the plant to fuck Putin up the ass.

I don’t understand why Facebook hasn’t banned Russian officials Facebook and Instagram accounts and why Twitter hasn’t banned them.

If it weren't for the fact nukes exist I think it would be on

I think you know why. Facebook and Twitter are on their side. And that's the Truth.

I guess its about money in the end, or maybe if im possitive, they havent thought about it yet but they will in a short amount of time.

Now that you mention it that's pretty much what we've been getting other than individual civilians getting up and armed.

I recall something earlier in this thread about "mobile incinerators" that the Russian's would use "to get rid of the bodies/evidence" but last I heard elsewhere the footage/picture used for that article/tweet was originally for an old mobile trash incinerator ad that omitted the ending.

Not sure if true or fake news though
