Original thread:
Artificial intelligence showing how russia was able to make their own copy of a Ukrainian blogger for Chinese audiences.
Only reason I suspect this was shown on a Russian news site is part of the narrative to believe nothing. So even the real news is not believed anymore.
Mothers of Kursk conscripts that are missing cannot go public with their pleas as they get scam calls probably from Kremlin operatives looking for money and calls from government for discrediting the army. The kremlin say that 13 soldiers were killed in Kursk.
Yet another one of these bozos stealing a living.
Amazing the amount of gullible idiots who believe him going by the tweets.
What a world we live in. Talk about fake news.
Actually im the same. Sometimes hes full of poop. But more people are posting about problems with bearings, derailments etc maybe this time hes not wrong
They put up a pretense but in the end all these conspiracy theorists, grifters and charlatans sing from the same hymn sheet.
Speaking of liars, I see RFK Jr has ended his no-hoper Presidential campaign and is endorsing Trump. During his speech to declare all this he repeated some nonsense conspiracy theory that Biden and Boris Johnson forced Zelensky to rip up a peace agreement with the Russians.
Unfortunately I don't believe anything that Igor Sushko tweets out. He has form for spreading unsubstantiated stories.
Can we get back on track!
That's loco. Motion to adjourn…
Saw some reports that their rail is in bits. Cant get western parts, esp bearings. More and more videos coming up with derailed cars. Some info below:
Hope its not another "putin has 3 months to live" story
Hopefully people wont get there signals crossed on this platform. Think he's just letting off some Steam.
I like your train of thought!
So you’re saying that this rail project has been… de-railed? 🙃
Please humour me, I’ve had a bad day…
The russian neo nazi group "Rusich" put out a call on social media for a captured Ukrainian to perform a ritualistic sacrifice with. Bear in mind Putin's Kremlin has groups extinguished in Russia at the click of fingers, put in jail or killed. Rusich has been on the go for years in Russia. Have their own youth squads going around the cities on fighting sprees with other groups. The group commented after the task was closed.
This makes no sense. Quell surprise.
I heard recently that the construction of that overland rail link wasn't anywhere near as advanced as was thought. Apparently more detailed satellite imagery showed nothing more than a bit of preparatory groundwork along most of its length, but very little usable rail.
you jumping in is helping? He admitted later that he meant the war crime of Chemic weapons. He denied considering when a few weary people wondered if he meant nukes. Hardly shocking.
Now, you going to keep this up?
Can't be a coincidence the last oil train ferry that was working to Crimea gets sunk at the same time that massive facility in Rostov is hit. I wonder does the oil for the crimean crossing come from Rostov.
It's been a few costly days for Russia with the air field being struck in Volgograd. Hopefully the bad news continues and Ukraine can take the 600km squared south of the river in Kursk.
….
Oil depot fire spreading.
yep. Even the Ukrainians said that the bridge wasn’t as much of a target now as it was.
Isn’t there a newly built rail line through the occupied parts of Zaporizhzhia and Kherson Oblast? I mean granted, that’s still within Ukrainian drone strike range, but I think Russia can get in supplies that way.
There only option is the fuel train and we all know what happened last time.
Even thats not an option due to the weakening of the rail lines on the bridge from the previous fire/explosion.
Maybe they could send half full tanker carriages on the rail bridge, but hopefully the bridge is taken out soon enough…
He didn't suggest that FFS, it was inferred on thin grounds and he went out of his way to respond quickly and specifically to every dig thrown at him. His post is what I quoted - you and others have wrecked everyone's heads for four pages now trying to drag an agenda out of him. And it seems if you defend yourself from the 'narrative' line now you're labelled a contrarian. Maybe a few of ye need to go off and start a new One Narrative Only Ukraine thread instead of losing your knickers every time you read a post that doesn't chime with your narrative. It's beyond tedious.
This lad needs to be careful of windows
This is it for Crimea isnt it?
No more fuel ships, no more ferry crossings.
Id reckon that's probably what Ukraine is waiting for.
Aww I was so excited to see so many unread posts. Something exciting maybe happening. Nope just a contrarian scuttering up the thread. :(
The cool and interesting thing about these attacks is it seems like Ukraine are now loading their drones with pellets to scattershot the planes on these airfields. Much like the Tungsten rounds on the HIMARS.
While it's nice to see burned out plane husks, it's likely the damage is far more severe than can be seen from satellite. As when you look up close you can see they pepper the entire area with holes. A thin piece of corrugated steel for a hangar won't stop this. And these planes are notoriously bad at flying when they've been filled with holes.
“Stability” says the billboard
I made the assumption first, then you changed to Chemical weapons. Read back through the muck, I had to.
Thank you. You made the initial assumption. I cannot change your assumption. I started off with 'retribution' nothing about nukes etc. Three posters jumped on it assuming nukes.
I wrote 'retribution' in post 4818 - Your immediate assumption was 'nukes'. So yes I read your 'muck' and you remain incorrect in your initial assumption and contiued assertion that 'nukes' are what I was referring to.
Do you think Ukraine should be the ones to look for peace with Russia
No; (from memory) the Chechen cease fires in the 90's benefitted Russia in regrouping at the time and going at it again.
Also at this stage, I think Putin would see that as Ukraine being out of men, machines and missiles and be an opportunity for him. Also would the propaganda around it be good for him; if it made him look weak would he be able to do it? I doubt it. After Ukraine's first foray into Russia the 'lets talk this out' flag would/could be seen as surrender.
This is also on the premise that the west keep up support for Ukraine.
would you advocate Ukraine give up land if Putin said he'd agree to stop fighting.
Can't answer that in all honesty, it isn't a black and white question at the moment.
In an ideal world, Ukraine can push them back all the way across the border with two fingers to talks; - fantastic, but how plausible is that? Is Crimea part of that discussion?
Yes to giving up land, if support was starting to wane in the west and it looked like they were on an inevitable way to losses everywhere. They'd have to. But we're a ways from that yet. What happens in the US elections could also affect it.
Given the current lift the Kursk incursion has given them, it will be interesting to see what they can hold both North and South and I doubt Ukraine would be first to the table right now.
