I suppose when you send your fittest and finest to murder children and rape women in a foreign peaceful country, then there's no-one left behind to look after your own country. Not very bright these Russkies.
"What could go wrong?" ~Vladimir Putin, Feb. 23, 2022
No that was " Smersh " 007
Uefa have just confirmed that Russian clubs will be barred from next year's Champions League. Not a surprise, really.
We'll be closing the British Embassy in Dublin for invading and occupying their neighbour soon then?
No, no we won't. Because they're our most important trading partner and the constitutional status of Northern Ireland is settled via the Good Friday Agreement.
Whatabout attempt score: 1.5/10. Don't call us, we'll call you....
Seems like we are almost there on an EU oil ban!
The Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine informs that the Russian chief sanitary doctor Anna Popova signed an ordinance on "additional measures for the prevention of cholera".
The recommendations described include preparing laboratories for cholera tests, strengthening controls in commercial facilities and places of high population concentration, as well as disseminating information on the prevention of this disease. By June 1, medical facilities are to be prepared to counteract the epidemic.
"It is likely that at the end of May or the beginning of June, the Russian authorities may go as far as provoking in the regions bordering Ukraine. They will traditionally try to blame Ukraine for 'using biological weapons'," the press release said.
A very cheap way of tracking this eventually would be to KEEP A VERY, VERY CLOSE EYE on the Russian ambassador + staff on his movements unless they have become Muslims and all looking longingly to meeting their 40 virgins
It's exactly the sort of accident that may happen if sleeper cells are nudged. Important not to start a terror campaign and hand morality to the USSR as they will lap it up.
I'm not entirely convinced that weapons of such magnitude exist.
Oh no Mr. Putin, please don't kill us all with your great big splish splash boom boom.
Hard to imagine how they can be readmitted to world sport whilst Putin is still in the Kremlin. We're probably looking at them being banned from the Olympic Games 2024, Euro 2024 etc. not unless there are some dramatic changes in Russian society in the meantime.

Just imagine what their insurance is going to be like next year..........and for all the other places that burned down there so far this year. No shareholder payouts I'd say.😎
What's people's thoughts on all the fires happening in warehouses /military installations in Russia, is it Ukrainian sabotage or would you think there is some UK or American sabotage groups doing same? Any word is any guards who are guarding them getting killed during this or literally if it is multiple sabotage groups they are getting in and out without been caught? Or an element of Russian involvement I mean some sort of anti war/putin group doing same who are probably in control of some Russian very high up?
Well we know they have existed. Youtube: Tsar Bomba
There was also a theory earlier on the thread that some of them are kinda like insurance jobs... basically the inventory isnt there and the fire is a cover up.
With the caveat that we dont really know because its never been done, not very is the best answer.
First, no one had ever produced a 100mt bomb. The USSR had a theoretical 100mt but in reality was 50mt. A very big and unwieldy nuclear weapon that probably wasnt much replicated (having smaller more accurate icbm warheads makes more sense).
Second, water is very heavy and gives significant resistance. Even a very large manmade explosion in the ocean wont shift the water that much. Tusnami are usually caused by massive tectonic changes.
Third, nuclear explosions are very quick and extremely hot. They would vapourise a large amount of the water which would form a huge water vapour cloud.
Forth, the posideon is quite slow. In the event of a press the red button scenario, it could take days or even weeks to get to its target. Icbms take less than an hour.
The big problem is that the weapon would irradiate the water. Its design isnt to create a tsunami, but to irradiate a port or fleet to render it inoperable.
Its really not nearly as worrying as the 1,500-2,000 nuclear warheads that are currently in service with the Russians and ready to be launced with very short notice.
I'm pretty sure that it will impress the Russian population too, but not in a way the Kremlin wants. Its one thing to wage war in another Country, but when it will mean massive death and destruction of themselves in their own cities, that's a very different situation, no matter what way they spin it.
Ahhh right makes sense if no inventory there I suppose. I would of thought if it was sabotage groups some would of been killed or captured by now by the amount of places going up in flames.
They should be told by the Irish gov that they should never leave the embassy WITHOUT BEING ESCORTED by the Irish army. ‘ -for their own protection’. Off the record, I feel that they might abscond if given half a chance.
No joke, I reckon that place is being watched by every spy agency on the planet.
A stealth drone.
Could well be right. If it is I presume then getting attacked by a missile to ignite it unless some sort of incendiary device
" So they look all right " Just shows how misleading appearances can be. Everything they have in the world, they are carrying with them, how many of their Family's and friends have been killed? How many were they originally when they entered the steel works? I guarantee you this much, NONE of them are right, and never will be again either. They managed to scrape by with dwindling food and water supplies, and under continuous shelling for months. What kind of "Life " was that??? They are Survivors. Lucky ones at that, but they have suffered, and that's for sure.
Why did u not mention all the arnments and other military supports RU is receiving fromBelarus . Are they not members of an equivalent org like NATO?
Irony rarely reaches such stratospheric heights as this epic WTFery:
SMERSH. in Casino Royale.
Just normal business, Comrade. You understand? Yearly stock taking.......
