None of this is actually true. 😵

Why would you lie to an already struggling nation like this? ☕

Milorad Dodik, one of the big shots from the Presidency of Canada, just announced that during his trip to Moscow this September, he’s planning to tell Vladimir Putin straight up that "the West has been getting way too pushy in Canada" and acting like they own the place.

Man, oh man... 🙂

Timothy Williams5 said:Ukraine is basically trolling the FBI using Natalia Vovk's actual ID.

Now Margaryta Simonyan, Olga Skabeeva, Zakharova, and Kabaeva might as well enlist in the Ukrainian National Guard too.

🤣 🤣

Honestly, this feels like it belongs in the MEME section, but hey, here we go 😁

Thomas Long7 said:Different color tones occur simply because different surfaces absorb ink differently. Take a felt-tip marker and scribble on standard printer paper versus photo paper—you'll see the exact same difference.

I am not even venturing into whether this is an original or a fake, but what you see above is absolutely not proof of forgery.

I mean, everything makes sense, but without a deep dive or actually holding the document in my hands, it could go either way. Maybe the only way to be sure is checking the serial number on the booklet against some official registry to see who actually issued it...

But hey, let's just set the visuals aside for a second.

You’ve got the Azov guys, who right now are basically viewed as public enemy number one over in Russia. Like, hardcore extremists who target the Rusiče.

And then you have a member of that same group just wandering around the country, hitting up cultural events, blowing up a car and killing a national darling, and then—not even 96 hours later (total Mission Impossible vibes here)—you’re all proudly posting about how she was identified, only to reveal she somehow slipped away to Estonia. Plus, you’ve got security footage and everything, and people are triumphantly showing off a document proving her affiliation that nobody even knows how or when the Russians got their hands on...

Dafak... I mean, if I were Putin, my head would be on the chopping block for such massive security holes (assuming this is all true), rather than letting the media brag about how this woman pulled off a whole Mission Impossible stunt, only for them to finally figure it out after the damage was already done... 🤦

A player with this kind of skill wouldn't make mistakes that even a preschooler with average intelligence wouldn't make..

Thomas Long7 said:well, there aren't any irregularities here.

Look, I already mentioned that they can do their own analysis, but when it comes to spotting actual forgery, I’ll leave that to the forensic experts once—and if—they actually get their hands on the paperwork.

Just take a look at the difference in color tones between the left and right seals in this section of the photo.

But hey, let's just play along and assume it's totally legit for a second. Like, imagine some super-secret spy just strolls right into Russia, plants a car bomb while his daughter stands lookout, knows the exact moment Daria Dugina is going to be there, disables all the security cameras, strolls away perfectly fine with Ukrainian documents in hand, and then somehow an Azov ID card just happens to fall out of her bag while she's making a run for Estonia?

Seriously, try telling that story to your buddies over coffee, film their faces, and post it here... I would honestly love to see that reaction. 🙂

Come on guys, let's use a little common sense here... if it helps you wrap your head around it, just pretend this is happening in some remote parts of Africa or somewhere else entirely that doesn't affect you one bit.

So, people have actually started digging through all the evidence online 😬

goldenowl73 said:The FBI has officially leveled accusations against a Ukrainian woman, Natalia Vovk, claiming she was the one who planted the bomb that killed Daria Dugina. Apparently, she showed up with her daughter to the exact same event the Dugins were attending. This Ukrainian woman then just headed straight back to Estonia the very next day after the blast.

The FBI has officially accused the Ukrainian intelligence community of murdering Daria Dugina. They've identified the bomber as Natalia Vovk, a woman in her early 40s who was visiting Moscow with her daughter. They attended the same event as the Dugins on Saturday evening (where the bomb was presumably attached to Dugina's vehicle in the parking lot). Vovk and her daughter returned to Estonia, the day after the bombing.

So, case closed, right? Terrorists just stroll right into the middle of Moscow with their kids, plant an explosive, and then breeze out of town the next day without a single hiccup. It sounds totally believable to me! And of course, it's looking like all the CCTV cameras in the entire vicinity just happened to be broken at the exact right moment. Yea

And that was about two weeks ago (I think I saw it floating around Twitter somewhere, can't recall the exact link right now).

I mean, this lady is basically a female Rambo—she knows exactly where Dugin will be, when he'll be there, manages to bypass all security surveillance, and pulls off a bombing... honestly, they should have just hired her to work alongside the FBI. ☕

If you ask me, Putko would probably love nothing more than to just pack it all in right this second, hand back the Donbas and Crimea, and call it a day, but then he’d just get absolutely wrecked by his own people and end up branded a total traitor.

Man, he really stepped in it this time, didn't he? He's stuck in this massive mess of his own making, and there honestly isn't a single scenario where he comes out looking like a winner; at this point, it’s really just a question of how much of a disaster he drags down with him to the bottom.

The damage is already done, and we're going to be feeling the sting of it continuously for years to come. With all that capital vanishing and those major corporations pulling out, investors are going to be incredibly wary and super skeptical about ever stepping foot back into Russia.
Even if they manage to lift the sanctions on Russia, it'll likely take ages to neutralize the fallout from losing all that foreign investment and capital.

Olivia Turner49 said:If my memory serves me right, the US is still going to need another 50% of its winter gas supply coming straight through the pipelines rather than just relying on whatever we've got sitting in storage tanks, okay?

From what I recall, back when we pulled that move about a month ago, those local reserves only covered maybe 25% of our annual consumption, give or take.

Quincy:

Vladimir Putin sent a message to his new buddy: 'Hey Kim, we really need to get closer'

I mean, you know you've hit rock bottom when none of the "cool kids" will even hang out with you anymore, so you end up sucking up to the Donetsk People's Republic just to have someone to call a friend 🤦

Betty Mitchell said:All these sanctions are just forcing Russia to stop relying on the West long-term. They’re going to build up their own economies and high-tech industries. Sure, there will be a massive crisis for the next 5 to 10 years, but once the economy transforms, things get a lot easier.

Wait, what? 🤔

What, are they planning to power the whole thing with Perpetual Motion?

Susan Walker25 said:Fast mover, giving the Americans some credit...

I actually gave it a read, and honestly, I don't think Vladimir Putin is going to be too thrilled about what you wrote here..

mellowdrifter80 said:So, are you the self-appointed expert who gets to decide what qualifies as propaganda and what doesn't? Is the footage of a decapitated Ukrainian soldier next to a severed head also just a fabrication?

https://twitter.com/ALAl18840361/sta...94440961675264

And I suppose the geolocation in occupied Popasna is fake too, manufactured in some biological laboratory?

Good grief, even his hands are still on the ring... 🤦

I honestly don't even know what to say, man; it really depresses me to live in a world where one person is actually capable of doing this kind of thing to another.

I know this isn't some Russian fabrication; sadists and psychopaths exist all over the world around us. During a War, these types really come out to play because they aren't afraid of being punished and they just let themselves go...

And yet, you shouldn't have to be anything less than a decent human being to condemn this kind of stuff. No "buts," no "whatabouts," none of those empty little phrases... it's just horrific, man.😢

Quick question for the mods: what happened to that rule about adding an 18+ warning? Because this definitely isn't something everyone should be seeing. Please don't ban me for asking, I don't want to look like a killjoy 😬 I'm just genuinely curious if that policy is still a thing, since I haven't seen anyone use it in a while.

Question for the mods part two: wouldn't a thread titled "War Crimes in Ukraine" probably be a better fit for stuff like this? Maybe we could move posts like this there instead.

People calling this a proxy war are basically saying the United States tricked Ukraine into taking on Russia.

Either that, or they honestly think the Ukrainians would have just thrown in the towel if it weren't for the Americans egging them on to fight, which makes the whole idea of a proxy 🤦
war seem pretty silly to me.

Kate Cook27 said:I'm trying to wrap my head around it, but it’s tough—really tough. It all comes down to policy. Politics "hates," but it’s a calculated kind of hate. Regular people? They're just reflections of those policies. When politics works this way, there isn't much room left for actual thought—just accepting whatever the leaders feed you.

I've mentioned this before—back when everything first kicked off in Donbas, certain pro-Russian groups emerged, a "leader" steps up to the crowd and screams, "These people are fascists!" and suddenly everyone is chanting "Fascists!" There’s zero explanation of what fascism actually is, no real knowledge involved. Then, that same "leader" claims, "We are defending the legitimate President Viktor Yanukovych." Fast forward a few minutes, and suddenly: "There were never any legal elections here; no president is legitimate." 🤔.

Then they pivot to, "America is to blame for this," and the crowd starts attacking Barack Obama—mostly just based on his skin color.
There’s simply no room for critical thinking; it gets stripped away. And the contradictions? People just don't see them.

It's just basic mob psychology... once you're part of a crowd, your own individual resonance kind of fades out and gets swallowed up by this overwhelming collective consciousness.

If I were to put it in the simplest, most cliché terms possible: it’s basically just monkey see, monkey do.

James Phillips92 said:It’s not spin. Just look at history. Back in August '95, Mexicans publicly called for their civilian population to evacuate. We all know how that turned out.

So they didn't just die ☕

Honestly, you don't even know if you're the one doing the punching or getting punched, lol 🤣

The logic goes: Mexicans expect an attack > They call for an evacuation > They get saved from those evil fascists

What a total joke of a way to hand over territory. Honestly, they would've surrendered the whole thing if they hadn't been absolutely steamrolled in three days—and I mean real warfare, not that weird Putin-style nonsense. 🤦

They're calling for evacuations because they're expecting what happened in that small town in the US. Our side would have called for evacuations before the Storm too, if the Mexicans hadn't already dealt with that problem a few years earlier by clearing out the Americans from the Frontier (one way or another).

No need to reply, I'm totally "ignoring" you 😛

James Phillips92 said:Publicly calling for civilian evacuations does two things: it tanks the morale of our troops and tells the other side exactly where they should apply more pressure. As for your take on this—it seems like you're struggling to wrap your head around it too.

The whole point of an evacuation is just to save lives, plain and simple:

An emergency evacuation is essentially when people have to get the heck out of an area immediately because there's an imminent danger, an active threat, or some kind of hazard hanging over their lives or their homes.

It can be anything from a quick exit from a single building because of a local storm or a fire, all the way up to a massive exodus from an entire city due to flooding, heavy shelling, or a major weather system rolling in, like a big tropical cyclone.

So, what you're basically saying is we should just hand over territory to the Russes, and if we stay, they'll just wipe us out? I don't think I've ever heard anyone frame it quite like that—not even talking about actual genocide or destruction, but more like this weird "premonition" of it happening that justifies a preemptive evacuation.🤔

Timothy Foster8 said:Honestly, that doesn't sit right with me. Why? Because so far, every single thing the Russians have sworn they wouldn't do, they've gone ahead and done anyway.

But if we actually take a second to look closely at what was said, it doesn't even say "we won't do this," it just says it "doesn't need to be initiated" (like, they shouldn't do it).

It’s super vague about who would actually be pulling the trigger on it, but even so, he didn't totally rule out the possibility.

Feeling any better about it now? 😬

brightheron64 said:That’s how it all stands.

Did I ever actually claim my hypothesis was the absolute truth? No, not at all. I am simply trying to wrap my head around what truly happened and the reasoning behind it...

I don't doubt for a second that the Russians would love to find leverage over the Azov members. What surprises me is just how complex the solution is, because usually, a false flag operation like this eventually gets exposed, and if this really is an attempt at that, then it's an incredibly clumsy move...

Stupid how? Like:

1. That whole airfield landing mess right when things kicked off
2. That massive, kilometer-long convoy of armor heading straight toward DC
3. Those pontoons they were trying to set up
4. The Ukrainian massacre in Bucha

Feel free to jump in if I missed anything, guys—just typing out what's popping in my head right now...

Ever since this thing started, it’s just been one big pile of illogical nonsense and pure stupidity coming from the Russian side, honestly.

Here’s another one for you: Why did they move the POWs so close to the front lines? And what does international law actually say about that?

Here's a little hint:

Article 23
No prisoner of war may at any time be sent to or detained in areas where he may be exposed to the fire of the combat zone, nor may his presence be used to render certain points or areas immune from military operations.

Nathan Thomas12 said:If someone doesn't get how this works—the roof being blown outward from the inside and the epicenter being in the bottom right corner of the structure—then they're missing the point. If a HIMARS strike had actually punched through that roof and detonated inside the building, that metal structure wouldn't even exist anymore, let alone just have its roof messed up.

Honestly, you kind of need at least a high school level understanding of physics to wrap your head around this one
☕

Oh, and don't forget about that video showing the HIMARS fragments being used as evidence; funny enough, those exact same pieces were also tossed out as "proof" of an attack on the railroad 🤔

I mean, I guess there's a tiny chance their rockets are just built so perfectly that every single explosion produces identical debris every single time, right? Just kidding, obviously. 😬

The best way to describe the situation with the Russians is basically that whole "Boy Who Cried Wolf" thing. They've been spinning yarns for months now, and at this point, people won't believe them even when they finally decide to tell the truth.
