Great news, really. They spent 30 years building fancy mosques with our money, giving wedgies to our IT nerds and ogling our women all the while proclaiming themselves the real chad men (tm) as opposed to virgin Russian losers.

Watching them pull their weight is surprising, up until recently I thought they were all hat and no cowboy. Or should I say all turban and no mullah?

Definitely shades of being the new jannissary class of the RF for the foreseeable future.

The news is starting to blend into the background again, so I am actually curious if it was a Ukrainian slaughter to bring it back to the forefront.

Bucha was definitely a gayop, only question is what percentage of the official story is bullshit. Probably less than 100% and more than 75%, I assume the Russians are doing some level of low-key war crimes and random murders, but we'll never know the full truth and the public isn't really interested anyway (they just want to be OUTRAGED)

If/when fresh war crime allegations emerge in suspicious synchronicity with the Western news cycle most people will immediately believe it again and governments will start sanctioning Putin's daughter's boyfriend's cat or something.

if german govt. was halfway smart, they would subsidize the SHIT out of those weapon manufacturers, that are already pretty damn good, outcompete other suppliers from the West with better prices/logistics delivery to Ukraine and apart from the profits also begin the first steps of recouping that 80 billion EUR bill they were announcing to revive their military when the war started. after all, who's gonna argue them assisting the brave resistance in the West at the threat of political suicide at this point while they get a lot of useful data/telemetry and profit?

Probably not, because Germans are retarded and buy into the whole 'green-eco' narrative more than common sense.

Also Germany profits either way, even if Ukraine wins or loses. As long as Russia doesn't nuke Eastern Europe and they can still get their cheap labor gypsies and cheap gas, Germany doesn't care.

Firing at civilians is a war crime though.
 
POWs, a literal captive audience, getting lectured. How unfortunate for viewers like us that technology doesn't yet allow for videos like this to feature thought bubbles for all of them with what they were actually thinking.

I would like source and an official explanation for this. Why would you even record this?
That's just my wishlist, I'm not asking of it from anyone here. If it is genuine I'd like to advise Ukies to stop recording everything for their own safety but also keep recording everything, thanks.

edit: In the A&N thread a guy (too lazy to go back) said they're checking for mines, which seems reasonable and would explain the camera.

We're not talking about presumption of innocence. If I report a robbery happened, it will be investigated as if a robbery did happen. I will not be asked to first provide evidence I didn't fake it. It's an exercise in proving a negative.
What you're referring to is offering proof the Russians did it - which can be staged - because it shouldn't be the Russian armed forces having to prove their innocence unprompted. If Ukraine offers staged proof that the Russians did it, it would be Russia's burden to prove it was staged as a defense strategy because now they have been prompted by the accuser meeting their burden of proof.
Similarly, Russia having to prove their innocence without the accuser proving any proof is also proving a negative.

That equation changes when you're known to file false police reports. If you lied to the cops 3x for 3 major "cases" in the last month, yeah, the cops aren't going to treat your report as seriously as if someone else did. Plus you'd be in jail since filing a false police report is a crime.

Considering Zelensky has lied so much, the Russians pretty much showed how it couldn't not have been them(Why didn't the mayor of the town address this massacre when he declared a victory for the Ukie army when the Russians left), from the Russian POV, it is reasonable for another country to ask them to prove this event happened.

I can understand Zelensky being upset, but that's what happens when you lie a lot. People tend not to believe what you say.

Let's do a little mind experiment. If I search though this thread and find instances that show otherwise, would you change your mind?

Yeah though I don't envy you if you start digging through the thread just due to the size of it.

And that is why you can't spell "war" without "rape."

Putin's daughters may be included in the new EU sanctions list
Bloomberg writes about this. The European Union is considering the possibility of including Ekaterina Tikhonova and Maria Vorontsova in the sanctions list. They are the alleged daughters of Russian President Vladimir Putin.
The United States is imposing sanctions on "Putin's daughters, Lavrov's wife and daughter," the White House said.
Ukrainian activists in France painted the fence of the villa of Ekaterina Tikhonova, who is called the daughter of Vladimir Putin, with flags of Ukraine

Putin daughter likely holds Putin's real estate end wealth. In that way, Putin can say "see, It is not mine" and use it anyways.
