I don’t know what sources of information Solovyov uses, but multiple archeological discoveries show that our Slavic and Scythian ancestors lived on the territory of Russia as earlier as 3500 to 5000 years, and even as early as 20,000 years before the birth of our Savior Jesus Christ.
If you believe their own stories, jedis at the time were still pharaoh’s slaves.
If Solovyov and Co. consider Khazars, a Turkic tribe, as their ancestors, then they have no relation to ancient jedis and Israel, and shouldn’t use these names as their self-identification. As the Russian saying goes, Solovyov can sit on certain something, or suck on it, but he cannot do both at the same time.
I skipped the first one after the first 30 seconds or so, didn't see the smaller explosions
first thought is maybe they bombed a weapons depot and rockets or components ignited, flew into the air and exploded but it doesn't make sense that they only flew directly above the cloud and ignited there
maybe people on the ground firing back in the general direction that the plane bombed them from? the rebels don't (officially) have AA missiles so it's possible they were trying to hit it with artillery or tank shells
this one? I'm not an expert but the plume 'head' of the cloud kept burning up long after the plume, so I'd assume it was a smaller explosion that hit a chemical plant or something sending burning oxidiser up into the air
given the parameters of the war being fought there, I don't see any benefit to the use of nuclear weapons by the government side and it'd be surprising if the rebels got a hold of one. either way, it'd be front-page news everywhere and impossible to suppress
yeah, the ones in current use on the battlefield are thermobaric or fuel-air explosives - the US likes to call them daisycutters. the german one I mentioned is unique; have not heard of anything similar being used since.
though germany did experiment with a different kind in WWII - they mixed 'brown coal' in with liquid air (NOT oxygen) and ignited it - they tested mortar rounds reportedly with devastating effects, but their liquid air projects never really progressed.
there are modern explosives with a similar mechanism - oxyliquit is literally a chunk of coal or other oxidiser soaked in liquid oxygen, causing a large explosion when ignited.
the german invention isn't quite the same though - pure oxygen burns at a low temperature; in the case above it's ignited and creates explosive deflagration. since germany used liquid air, which has a much higher flashpoint, it's believed that the burning coal (brown coal was some sort of shale from memory)superheated the air, causing explosive decompression without actually igniting it - no explosion, but extremely powerful shockwaves that tore trees from the ground and ruptured the lungs of animals within range
if you're interested I'll find the book I read about it in, is a list of rumours and patents related to unreported nsdap technologies
Isaac meanwhile maintains he’s only 15, since he started school in Eritrea when he was 10 and then went to school for an additional seven years. He finished school two years ago, which according to him, makes him only 15.

Have any of you stored rations for the Nuclear Exchange possibility in the next few years? or are you going to wait till the last moment and raid others?
not really. if I owned my own place I'd be digging out a bomb shelter, but in practicality I don't think it'd be much fun to endure what comes after, prepared or not. best to just enjoy the fireworks
