  1. Catching up on things, I never realized Oliver Stone produced a series on Ukraine and Putin between 2016-2019. YouTube just flagged and removed his films on their platform, though they're still available on Amazon: Ukraine on Fire (2016) https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5724358/?ref_=ttls_li_tt The Putin Interviews (2017) https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6840134/?ref_=ttls_li_tt Revealing Ukraine (2019) https://www.imdb.com/title/tt10498588/?ref_=ttls_li_tt Has anyone seen these to state if they're worth a shit and why was Stone so fascinated to produce these at the time?
  2. I'm unsure why every retail-novice economist (:raising hand:) thinks Russia is the Eurozone Gas Station and petrochemical production is their lifeblood. I can't find the 2020 numbers, but according to Statista, their 2019 economic figures placed their Energy Sector at just 4.5% of GDP, and it might have eclipsed 5% last year: https://www.statista.com/statistics/1235291/legal-entity-revenue-by-industry-in-russia/ Energy export and minerals export are two significant revenue sources I'm unsure the west has any chance to truly sanction.
  3. Reading that no more than an effort to transfer Russia-hosted assets to Russia-based DNS relays and to recommend additional security safeguard measures. Edit: Though I wouldn't be surprised to see some Western-affiliated DNS services and zones blocked by nationalized carriers. I'm unsure what the telecom space looks like in Russia and how much of it is state-controlled.
  4. Forgot these responses as well.
  5. For those who were asking about the nuke strike order system, this is a somewhat refreshing quote on that 2000-word, incredibly-damning FSB interview that was posted 2 hours ago. It's fascinating and hellish at the same time, I'd recommend giving it a read.
  6. Okay everyone, stop posting autoplay shit from Reddit, especially useless bullshit memes. Fuck Reddit in general, the whole of it entirely, but there is one video posted to 57 subs just 6 hours ago that's incredibly powerful. Note his plea (at the end of his interview) to Ukrainians who take Russian POWs, to save their health and life, because, "if you let them die, nobody will be able to go to our homeland [back to Russia] to tell them what happened here."

  8. Don't invite the Sy/Tys into this.
  9. https://i.imgur.com/eAtf6g4.jpg It's the museum (training building)
  10. The TB2 has its own theme song now:
  11. https://www.pravda.com.ua/eng/news/2022/03/2/7327539/ Russia’s secret documents: war in Ukraine was to last 15 days OLENA ROSHCHINA — WEDNESDAY, 2 MARCH 2022, 19:40
  12. To be fair, his trip around the moon of fascism fear may have also been sponsored by Reddit
  13. Yo, dawg, I heard you like taxes, so we added some tax to your taxes so you can get taxed while you Texas.
  14. Edit: my Twitshit shit is late
  15. If that "40 mile train" grew from 17 miles over the weekend, how much of it was added by Belarusans? No fuel, cold days and nights, snow is still falling and the ground is thawed. It's mudstuck hell off that road, and you can't shuttle a bridge ahead.
  16. Needs more cyka blyat
  17. I feel a bit naaive for posting this but was already aware of the geographical interest Russia had with narrowing their NATO defensive front over the Eastern European Plain. What was new to me is that Ukraine is also ripe with shale gas and potentially recoverable crude deposits. Forward to 12:32 if the embedded timestamp in the link below doesn't work. Cliffs: The 'breakaway' regions are precisely in the discovered rich oil deposit regions. Crimea has access to large gas discovered deposit regions. Russia is a large gas station economically. The entire region is crucial to land defense of the Russian state because geography. Ukraine'ss discovered/known oil/gas deposits would make them the 2nd most important in Europe after Russia and 14th largest in the world. Ukraine is set to compete with Russia selling to Europe and ripe for Western petrochemical partnership/development.
  18. Ask him when he thinks the Belarusians arrive
  19. Well, those aren't the rail guns I was looking for.
  20. Without researching, what part of the plain means more for cultural and agricultural value? Anything East of the Dnieper might just be considered an extension of the Russian 'heartland,' where 80% of its population resides.
  21. They're not precision-guided and have an effective range of 30km or less. There are a ton of bridges for them to cross before they can enter a population center like Kyiv
  22. St Javelin or NLAW works the same on those as it's done on the other blown up batteries. Can't let them pop a round off first though.
  23. SnipeX looks fun to me.
