Ukraine: Unsubstantiated rumours and speculation

[RileyOBlimey]

A thread to explore the outer reaches of your imagination free from the shackles of fact or verification.

Oh hai, I hear you unsubstantiated cyber rumours…

 

[platinumsage]

I’m keeping an open mind.

I would love for this to be true instead of merely illustrative. They are dismantling road signs, though.

I do hope that is true

[RileyOBlimey]

I really want this one to be true…

No it isn't, the Palestinians did this to Israelis years ago

E2A thought it was about 2016,17 but searching see it was just before the pandemic

He's been there for a decade, presiding over military reforms, this is a real biggie I think.

It’s in the correct thread.

 

[Rimbaud]

Ok that's good. Verifiable proof that things genuinely aren't going well and it isn't just an effective Ukrainian propaganda game.

 

[Pickman's model]

It’s in the correct thread.

And I on the wrong one

That long twitter feed reads Russia has loads of tanks and guns.
But all the expensive not obvious or immediately coolstuff like recce communications extra fuel tankers spares the training to get fuel to the tanks in front coordinate the entire show is sadly lacking.

This isn't the 3rd shock army of cold war nightmares a huge armoured fist steam rolling towards Paris stopping for nothing.

Its lots of small units uncoordinated blundering about ukarine short on everything and the High command being of the caliber of General Melchett

Actually I can't find another source on this. Ukrainian media is part of a total war effort, can't be taken at its word really.

Alternatively just swap the road signs from one side of the road to the other so the Russians end up invading Russia.

 

[The39thStep]

Really don't know what to make of this. Press play on the bottom one

Civilians training to use weapons. Why don't you know what to make of it?

 

[NoXion]

Would square with the dude seeming to accidentally hit the magazine release catch on his weapon. Oops.

Very good. You could probably sell that line to a useless comedian who can't write their own stuff.

 

[platinumsage]

I can recommended RT for some light relief. A reporter said earlier that all the major elements of the Ukrainian armed forces had now been eliminated.

Currently they're comparing the current situation to the second world war with respect to who the baddies might be.
