Ukraine and the Russian invasion, 2022-24

[mojo pixy]

Have they done that before?

Not exactly, but there was a time when Jews were only allowed to live in certain areas of Russia.

The nuclear power station concerns remain real, and so I do not dismiss them, but propaganda is still the most obvious feature for now. They've taken journalists to the region via a scary sounding helicopter ride.

Yes, Russian history. The revolution didn't stop it having happened, or it looming over events now. This is Russia we're watching, not the USSR.

I'm sure Moscow's got its best scientists investigating the Spontaneous Crimean Combustion phenomenon.

yeh they're looking into it using remote sensing from space, no one wants to investigate on the ground

Some cunts on a beach being a tad concerned






Russia has launched war on Ukraine, Ukraine has every right, legal and moral to repel these Nazi scum in any way they see fit.

Potentially interesting. Though we look like being in an upper level westerly flow for the near-future.

There's a video up of Russian vehicles/pos ammunition in Zap NPP. At least I obviously can't confirm, but it certainly looks like the turbine room of a NPP, and not quite sure how many others are likely to have a few 'Z' marked vehicles parked in them.

Spoiler because don't really know anything about source:

Ukraine defence minister Reznikov seems to be claiming responsibility for the explosions in Crimea:

Ukraine is activating a “resistance force” under the command of Ukrainian special forces to carry out attacks far behind Russian lines, Reznikov said. The force was formed in January in accordance with a law passed last year, and in recent weeks it has been activated in Ukrainian territory held by the Russians.

There is no history for some on here , Russia has always been Russia . Apparently it’s in their genes .

No, it's clear Russia's history only started in 1917. I see that now.

Apparently it’s in their genes .

Who said this?

There is a continuity of the Russian Empire through to the Soviet Union through to the current Russian Federation, despite the Revolutions of 1917, Civil War, Stalin, WW2, Gorbachev and Yeltsin. That's part of the history.

I'll add 'both sides blaming each other in advance of anything happening, making the situation a total nightmare to unpick as usual' to the long list of reasons I hope nothing like that actually happens on Friday.

I say that because the subsequent tweets in that thread are....

See post 15805 please . If that’s not clear please re- read .

 

[steveseagull]

If this turns out to be true, there were between 30 and 40 Russian fighter aircraft at this airfield

 

[steveseagull]

i suspect that might be a bit of a high estimation here are the ariel shots

You imply that I (among others) say there is no history to Russia. Well that's bollocks. Pointing out a continuity of purpose and policy to a particular imperialism is not denying history. It may be a version of history that you don't recognise. That's possible. Perhaps you would rather it were not the case. That possible too.
