Or it's a popular move among his subjects to show he's still with them. The last anti Gay stuff was. Think Ireland circa 1950. In public speeches he rails against the "decadence" of the west and "men who think they're women" and that's singing to the choir.
I'd be very surprised if it's blood. More likely paint IMHO. Blood rapidly oxidises and goes way darker than that in a matter of days. Not that Ferrari red. It also gets very crumbly and fragile. Real blood wouldn't last long on wood that's been polished. I've said too much... 😮😁
The European Parliament: Aleksandr Lukashenka must face the tribunal. The EP condemned the human rights violations in the country and Russia's usage of Belarus for military purposes
Yes, but the fingerprints are fairly visible too. Be great to get a "Handle" on the bastard, (excuse the pun)
Unfortunately we are seeing signs of this slowly but surely chipping away at Ukraines whole ability to try function from day to day in even the basics.
Going to be a long winter unless NATO grows some balls.
I believe it's supposed to red paint, but knowing that bunch of scumbags it's likely some poor sods blood .
You would think a force like them who got anilated in Syria when they tried to take on the US and Kurdish forces,and have lost thousands of men trying to take bakhmut unsuccessfully on a near daily basis , shouldn't be so cocky
I'm liking your thinking actually
They sent that sledgehammer to the EU parliament? I wonder what Claire’s and Mick’s first thoughts on seeing that were?
This definitely appears to be the Russki plan (it also makes a total mockery of their war on Ukrainian civilians being described by them as a "special military operation").
Thoughts Seenitall? Ah here, you're asking a lot from that pair. 😁
Well, lord knows they’re yappy enough 🙄so I guess I was wondering if there is anything at all, such as a naked sledgehammer threat from the orcs, that would at least give them pause for thought, if not the actual thing itself 😄
I think we can clearly see by now that Bakhmut despite the Ukrainian officials repeatedly saying otherwise, is in fact strategically very important.
If it wasn't Ukraine wouldn't try so hard to defend it and Russia wouldn't be throwing everything at it. It's protecting bigger Ukrainian cities behind it and would become a new frontline hub for Russians as it connects to Lysychansk by motorway.
No doubt they've made small gains and closed in on the city but this has taken 2 full months and lost countless Russian lives. If Ukraine can hold out another month surely they'll hold it through winter.
Mick the Prick
Russia pumping as much oil as ever.
But still losing the war
Yes, Russia thought that they could pulverize that joint Kurdish / US held location using Iranian Hezbollah, and Wagner degenerates (for deniability) but despite having a much larger force, they got their collective asses handed to them, and it was the last time they tried that particular stunt in Syria. I'd say that Vodka plays a large part in their cockiness, especially when they are far from the battle zone. You do not see it in any vids coming from there. And definitely, it cannot be found in any pics where they are POWs, only when they are surrounding defenseless civilians. Scum of the lowest order.
Shock and horror...I'd imagine that their first thoughts were " we are going to get rightly hammered now whenever we bring up all the faults and failures of the West and how responsible the west is for all the problems in the world." Thats going to put a big hole in their support for Putin.
Most MEPs represent their own countries' interests in the European parliament. Mick represents Iran's and Russia's.
An absolute see you next Tuesday
I wonder if on some level it's eating away at his liver to know that the decadent, pot-smoking, wife-swapping, gender-bending, queer-loving, wine-sipping West still does just about everything better than Russia.
That guy is on someone's payroll, I'm convinced of it. There's no way he's doing all this as a mere 'concerned citizen'.....he's actively shilling for Russia, China, Iran and Syria.
Well he did go broke at one stage... so.
100% : I doubt that and his current disgusting behaviour are not unconnected.
Were the 2 of them always this way never really followed them. I know their anti NATO and USA is that just recent enough or ? I remember them in Shannon.
No doubt NATO and the US made them do it with their Jedi mind tricks
Maybe, but for. sure not getting top dollar for it, bargain basement prices as a matter of fact, and 5th dec, more restrictions due
Yes, they were generally left wing : anti NATO, anti USA and Eurosceptic etc, like a lot of left wingers. But their active support for authoritarian dictatorships has become very noticeable in the last year or two.
The Eu doing to little here, the infrastructural attack is a form of genocide and will destroy Ukraine
I see a mood change an army can't fight with no comms or Internet witch was a UA strength.
It seems the eu will meet next to discuss piss poor.
If Russia thought they would have got away with early on am sure they would have sooner.
Sorry this is a red line escalation
RFU on YouTube does a good analysis of the situation worth a look
Can't get link on here
Starlink, Military coms are all separate from civilian infrastructure. You not taking that down taking out power or cables. Modern battlefield is wireless. As long as you have end to end encryption your ok. Very hard to intercept best bet is trying to blanket block Via interference on all bands for example. And that's very hard with starlink for example each device is a separate entity. You could have two devices on one frequency another 2 on another rinse repeat. And blanket blocking affects your own coms but who knows its russians. On top of that you have microwave, RF, Mobile networks pick a G, You can even have line of site laser for example really fast bandwidth.
Wrong again.
