The Russians seem to be advancing much slower again than they expected. I think confidence is growing within the Ukrainians. I was watching the stream for a bit and expecting to see some explosions in the night sky but nothing. There was shooting sounds which I think are were coming from a north direction (left of camera). That's in the area the Chechen leader was killed and Children's hospital was hit.
It's interesting that that fella was killed in North West Kiev considering Chechnya is south east of Ukraine. They obviously brought this group of psychos to Kiev on a special mission.
Norway have been on Russias doorstep since 1949,and one of the founders of NATO
Seriously? I would love it if were true!
It appears I am wrong!
The Snake Island 13 might be alive according to Ukranian officials!
This whole thing has the vibe of when the Nazis underestimated the Russians, and sent their soldiers to war without even basic snow boots. Russia will deplete its resources in Kyiv. And then what will be left to maintain their grip on the Ukraine or invade other “Soviet” countries
Read this earlier. Intelligence in this war is playing a blinder. Two nasty pieces of work are no more.
Whatever about the 90s I would have thought hacking in the 80s might have been a little soon.
Damn autocorrect. I meant to say 'a great bunch of lads.' ;)
It would be naive to think otherwise, IMO. Do you really think a rag tag group of hackers have managed to do what US Cyber Command and the 5 Eyes could not? I don't. It suits to have Anonymous take the credit though... it makes the whole thing more relatable and palatable to certain demographics. The world loves an underdog.
Similarly, this is why we are seeing lots of molotov cocktail making videos and not so much mention of Ukraine having the 22nd largest military in the world before this began. Since Russia is so obviously in the wrong here I'm not butthurt about it, but there is always an element of narrative control going on.
Estonia and Latvia are in NATO. They border Russia. NATO are already on Russia's doorstep, are they not?
Chechen general Magomed Tushayev, the president’s right-hand man, killed near Kiev
Shooting forum is hotting up here on boards a poster buying mad
I'm reminded of a documentary I heard a bit of on Radio 2 talking about hackers in France in the 80s or 90s. Pretty much confirmed stories of the government using the freelancers for hacking Algerian targets and communications etc.
It’s pretty clear to most people that Kyiv will fall to the Russians eventually.
I wouldn’t assume anything. There’s something happening near Kyiv.
Can we assume the imminent air strike on kyiv has been thwarted?
It is?
either that or the pentagon DMed them and said "you have a blank cheque to cause as much mayhem as possible"
Whatever Anonymous was 19 years ago it is now a Five Eyes op led by US Cyber Command hiding behind the image of being a "rag tag international decentralized group of hackers sticking it to the man from their bedrooms." Great work all the same.
I personally think that covid has fucked with his mental state. I mean the massive tables imo show a very paranoid Person. Also the public appearances within the last ten days to me prove he’s lost whatever reason he had. I mean what he is doing now makes no sense.
The initiative was about having a referendum about joining NATO. Next the parliament will discuss the motion, but it doesn't necessarily mean a referendum will be held. Earlier in the year the majority of MPs opposed NATO, but opinions have changed since.
Those anon lads appear to be useful, always thought they were a bit of a joke. Russian government sites down for days, military databases leaked, military frequencies jammed, russian tv channels hacked with footage of the atrocities. not bad.
I'm sure they can kick! The message is not for the ballerinas, it's for the ordinary people of Russia. Apparently Ukrainians are allowing captured Russians to call home to tell what's really happening. The more messages go back to Moscow the better.
Your coworker just reminded me of a joke a Polish friend told me... You have two bullets in your gun. There's a Russian soldier and a German soldier in front of you. Who do you shoot first? The Russian because business comes before pleasure. 😮
I think people just want him leaking from a new orifice..... a hole in the head!
Putins health probably isn't good now but it will be well and truly in the sh1tter in the coming weeks. I hope he leaks from every orifice.
The ballet is a prestigious target to sanction. (Not sure how vicious and uncivilized the ballerinas are, but you can never be too careful I suppose.)
From Interfax (Russian private news agency): The existence of the Council of Europe without Russia "is becoming absolutely pointless," she [Russian Foreign Ministry's spokesperson Maria Zakharova] said. "Disusing European problems without Russia, what else to talk about?" she said.
Typos as in the original text.
This is hilarious or it's just my poor English? She said "we're the problem" :-D
