Russian Invasion of Ukraine Megathread

[mr.moon1488]

This looks like the photo from before, but now with snow ... wasn't he Russian in that one?

Hard to tell from the snow, but that looks like an AT4, so it's not Russian.

@Drain Todger being vindicated in the end over and over again these past 3 years probably helps, if nothing else.

I mean, he did bring the receipts, after all.

Never forget, folks. Fauci lied about GOF research flagrantly, from one end to the other. He stated the NIH did not fund GOF research in Wuhan. This is categorically false.

USASpending's own site shows that HHS, the DOD, and USAID funded EcoHealth Alliance:

EcoHealth Alliance's own files show that they were engaged in GOF research, to the point where DARPA actually turned them down due to the risks of one of their proposals.

Andrew Huff, the former VP of EcoHealth Alliance, stated that Peter Daszak was a CIA asset:

https://uncoverdc.com/2022/02/09/ecohealth-alliance-whistleblower-exposes-corruption/

This sets a precedent; under the direction of the US Intelligence Community, the US government uses DOD-funded NGOs to work on GOF research (a.k.a. Dual-Use Research of Concern) and they lie about it.

This raises a question; where else, other than China, are they funding NGOs and outsourcing GOF research?

Gain-of-function research consists of taking animal viruses and adapting them to infect people. What they claim is that they can use this to preemptively vaccinate against zoonotic spillover events or illegal bioweapons. However, this is not the case. There is no way to predict what a bioweapon or spillover strain will actually look like, and forced evolution (i.e. serial passage) won't always produce the same results twice.

Gain-of-function research has never protected anyone from a pathogen. It's just a euphemism for illegal biowarfare research that allows them to continue to conduct it under the pretense of "biodefense".

Did anyone explain why he was chained to the post and armed? I'd be terrified chaining a noncompliant man up while he was wielding a rocket launcher.

Some updates on the war - alleged gay ops continue, generals dying left and right:

Russia is being accused of bombing border towns in Belarus to give Lukashenko a pretext to commit the Belarusian military to direct involvement in the invasion:

Meanwhile a third Russian general is confirmed to have been killed in action:

In terms of military capabilities I'm not sure what Belarus can really offer that is of much use to the operation, but diplomatically I suppose it helps Russia to have a partner nation on board.

Well, that is interesting. Trying to figure out if this is the same guy, but I can't see that post in the background on the video, though it does look the same.

 

[Getting tard comed]

You know all these generals dying make me wonder what rank general means in the Russian military context as well as (tinfoil hat time) how Stalinesque this seems.

Speaking completely out of my ass but Russian doctrine is focused more on strict adherence to the chain of command rather than ground level NCO initiative/creativity. It'd make sense if they had a bloated officer class to micromanage everything.

YouTube blocks Russian state-funded media channels globally.​

March 11 (Reuters) - YouTube is immediately blocking access around the world to channels associated with Russian state-funded media, it said on Friday, citing a policy barring content that denies, minimizes or trivializes well-documented violent events. Google, said Russia's invasion of Ukraine now fell under its violent events policy and violating material would be removed.

And of course I had to again look at RT Documentaries, and it seems that many of them are still accessible, except for some of the top results which are blocked in the US.

Their documentary on online censorship is still viewable.

Pretty much just be a 3rd line unit. They mostly just have cold war era shit with a handful of new toys thrown in. Basically they get to be the equivalent of some place like Bulgaria was in the axis.

I'm guessing they're about as common as 'managers' in McDonalds who are literally just regular staff members but for a slightly higher wage can't refuse to come in at short notice.

I’m gonna be real I’m far more scared of some massive bio weapon leak then getting nuked. Nuking your dead in like 5 seconds.

Not for me.

I should have archived some of those documentaries, damn.

 

[MrJokerRager]

They're also evacuating civilians despite Zelensky's orders that everyone has to stay and fight.

Also for now RT itself is still accessible, just the Youtube channel got nuked. https://www.rt.com/

RT is on Rumble, here is their channel.

Major General is basically the equivalent of our one stars aka Brigadier General.

I have a feeling they're just being fed to the front lines.

Nuking your dead in like 5 seconds.

only if you're inside the direct blast radius
if you instead just get irradiated, you'll get radiation poisoning which will have you die slowly over the course of days or weeks depending on dose
