Yes, because Russia invaded Ukraine.after they'd been reporting on the prelude for the last 8 years?
Perhaps you need reminding but in February none of us thought Russia would invade Ukraine. The only people who thought they might were mainstream media enjoyers like Technologist and stl1. You were arguing that the buildup of Russian troops on Ukraines border was a routine redeployment. I was actually inside Ukraine, arguing like an asshole that the Russian invasion was all fake news, before leaving peacefully on the very last flight from Kyiv to Dublin.
I spent every holiday since December 2020 in Ukraine. And Putin isn't wrong about one thing, Ukraine is Nazi as fuck. In fact I was planning to take December off in order to visit Kharkov and Mariupol to check out the NSBM music scene around those two cities.
And of course a massive, unjustified, unexpected invasion scared off the likes of Max Keiser and George Galloway from their RT shitposting careers. Why wouldn't it?
Putin threw the dice when it came to Kyiv. He thought he could take it in 72 hours, but he came up snake-eyes. Eventually he'll have to take it, he'll have no choice.
It's a disgrace (from his point of view) that he hasn't put out the electricity and bridges in Ukraine, since these are things he could do easily and would save the lives of his men.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

yeah, but not expecting it doesn't seem like a reason to quit though. Do you think they quit because they got it wrong, or as some sort of protest or something? -
2022-09-20 at 9:57 PM UTCnot sure how that happened, I didn't see the edit until after I hit post

Yes it does. You accept a nice lucrative employment with RT because you are getting paid well and you know Russia is basically harmless.
Next thing you know Russia is invading the fucking Ukraine. This is totally unexpected, like Australia invading New Zealand.Do you think they quit because they got it wrong, or as some sort of protest or something?
Cos they were morally disgusted by what they seen and wanted to nope the fuck out of there, spend a fortnight in bed feeling sick with themselves, and never have anything to do with RT or Putinism ever again. -

That's good bang for your rubble.
Also general status of things as they stand? Summary?
Last i heard on a random social media site was that a second big front might be opened and that Russia is to commit more forces. Also, i've been hearing about incendiary ordnance. Probably BS, because you use those to burn down cities, or i guess supply depots. IIRC incendiary ordnance is banned under the Geneva conventions. I know for a fact White Phosphorous is banned. Not that you could enforce that. Looking at you America.
It's pretty funny when you make Napalm and afterwards say: Well, that's a bit of a cruel weapon. Then use White Phosphorous instead. -

I follow a Russian girl on Youtube, Granted she lives closer to Vladivostok than Minsk. She generally just walks around places she visits talks about things, slice of life stuff. Anyway, she talks about the war and the domestic effects in her area. And prices haven't changed, almost everything is the same, but the younger people like college age, feel the war is pretty bad, including her. She thought it was wrong and even considering moving out of Russia.
She also said a lot of people around her age are leaving. I figure this is going to cause a bit of brain drain if it's systemic and not just in her area. -
2022-09-21 at 5:50 AM UTCWanna hear a secret? There's ban on Russian oil and gas across Europe right? Obviously this situation is untenable. So what do they do? I have it on good authority Russian tankers are meeting up with BP tankers in international waters and pumping over their cargo. IDK how they cook the books to make that work but the BP tanker then goes to port and has it's manifest list the oil/gas as coming from a different country whereupon it is unloaded at the port of Rotterdam or Antwerp and transported across the EU.
It's a good way to save face, but disastrous economic policy, especially because you gotta black market your oil and gas now which will mark it up significantly and the money is still going to Russia. In fact more of it.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire!
