I wasn't really buying into the whole russian bots on boards thing and put a lot of the posters spouting the pro russian propagana as just left wing nutjob useful idiots. The types you see hanging about Shannon airport. And im still sure nearly all of them are.
But maybe, is it possible that some bots are at play here now taking down the whole Russian thread?
sky News is hacked
This is so significant, and has the potential for miscalculation with a NATO country too.
Jesus, Sky is live broadcasting hundreds of Ukrainian men and women in the streets assembling petrol bombs and organising resistance. In a Russian-speaking area too. Fair f***s to them all.
Stupid question but what constitutes a take over of Ukraine? Getting rid of the government? So the Ukraine army takes Russian orders? What if the army and people don't take their orders? I suppose they kill until they do listen to them.
You see images of vehicles across the road and army guys standing there. What exactly are they doing?
Then I saw an image of a Russian soldier being scolded by residents. He was sitting there crying on his own. Seems he must have just given up?
I love some of the replies: That tank remembers Afghanistan. Another guy: It remembers Napoleon. 😂
They should be on a one way ticket to Moscow or minisk. They like it so much, off you go. Ireland way too tolerant of these types
I suspect based on the condition of their equipment that they need the cellular networks for comms.
I am actually shocked at how back some of their "frontline" kit looks. If this is replicated through out their military is not beyond comprehension that they are using mobile phones to keep in touch between units.
You are the fronth line now Beasty!!!!
Putin said he had no intention of invading Ukraine how many times?
"EU Foreign Policy Chief Josep Borrell: ‘Nobody can trust Putin’ after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine"
All such agreements are meaningless given Putin's propensity and willingness to lie. This should have been clear to everyone when they denied murdering Litvinenko or attempting to poison Skripal and his daughter. So it really doesn't matter a jot what the Russians say or have signed.
We have the 'boy who cried wolf' allergory in our culture for a reason, it's a warning that a proven liar should not expect anything they say to be believed.
T-14s are not even in production yet. They have limited numbers of 4.5 and 5th Gen fighter jets available as well.
Around 10-15% of their military capabilities are modern.
I think the world is smelling blood with Russia now, they aren't the power they claim to be. Even their vassal in Kazakhstan stuck his two fingers up at Putin. Will the "Major" in Belarus change his stripes now...
Dear Boardsies,
As I right this I am very sad, our Russia thread has been attacked and has been replaced by the Benevolent Boards.ru.
All hail Boards.ru and their Glorious New Regime!
Sincerely,
Little Boardsie
Looks like the snake island incident was fake news. Ukranian soldiers on the island surrendered to the Russians.
Ordered a Ukraine flag online, for delivery midweek.
Original thread seems to be in the process of being restored now.
I didn’t think Turkey would back Russia.

I believe they have had a 100 of the T-14 delivered. Mainly for testing purpose.
However if you looked at social media over the last couple of years they have been pushing the "Wunderwaffen" propaganda hard. Now we're seeing what they are really using. Broken down tech from the 70's.
It makes you wonder how much of their nuclear deterrent is actually in usable condition. If they can't afford to service their APC's and Tanks they certainly won't be able to service the nukes which are way more costly. It appears the Military superpower is that just on paper.
My son reckons hacking is more often something simple like buying the login details and password off a mod. It could even be staff in the Russian embassy taking part on Boards for a while and being made a mod.
I have a dodgy box. I notice all of my news channels have been down.
Sky, BBC News, GB News, Al Jazeera, CNN, the lot. All my other channels are grand.
I thought it was just in inconvenient coincidence.
So you're saying we should attack Russia? They've lots of 'defensive' is 'offensive' missiles and the like.
"Made in China"
Shower of Russian bot ****. You will never silence the people.
The Belarus mens basketball team have had their visas revoked by the British Home Secretary Priti Patel. Putin is making Priti Patel look good.
Sky still working fine for me on dodgy box.
Funnily its only outlets like RT reporting this. So its rubbish.
Made in China
Edit: Bollocks, beaten to it!
And I'd like to remind them that I can be helpful in rounding up others to toil in their Siberian salt mines
Orban condemning.
Kazakhstan, as you say, sticking up two fingers.
China abstaining at the UN.
There's definitely something more than a whiff that Putin's days are numbered.
Hello suspicious new account.
Thanks for that pro-Russian bullshit comrade.
