Russia-Ukraine War (continuing)

The Russians pay and support agitators like this. I agree this one man isn't "some big threat", but it's part of a much broader picture. Whether it's paying someone to burn the Koran in Sweden to paying people to start fires on cargo planes - it's all linked towards the larger hybrid and information war on Europe.

Their focus on Ireland might be relatively "small" at the moment - here's a snippet of what Moldova is having to endure

"In particular, officials in Moldova have accused the fugitive pro-Russian businessman Ilan Shor, a vocal opponent of EU membership, of running a destabilising campaign from Moscow.

Earlier this month, the national police chief, Viorel Cernăuțanu, accused Shor and Moscow of establishing a complex “mafia-style” voter-buying scheme and bribing 130,000 Moldovans – almost 10% of normal voter turnout – to vote against the referendum and in favour of Russia-friendly candidates in what he called an “unprecedented, direct attack”.

Last week, law enforcement agencies said they had also uncovered a programme in which hundreds of people were taken to Russia to undergo training to stage riots and civil unrest.

Shor, who is based in Moscow and denies wrongdoing, has openly offered on social media to pay Moldovans to persuade others to vote in a certain way, and said that was a legitimate use of money that he had earned. In the early hours of Monday, he claimed Moldovans had voted against the referendum.

Marta Mucznik, a senior EU analyst at the International Crisis Group, said: “The impact of pro-Russian disinformation campaigns is evident. Tactics such as spreading fake news, vote-buying, and portraying the EU negatively have effectively swayed voters away from pro-EU sentiments."

And

"The scale of disinformation production is astonishing. A leaked report claims that in the first four months of 2024, the SDA’s bot army, dubbed the “Russian Digital Army,” generated 33.9 million comments. They also claim to have produced 39,899 “content units” on social media, including 4,641 videos and 2,516 memes and graphics."

FYI one of the Russian bottom of the barrel negotiators believes Russians have "an extra chromosome"

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2025/05/16/russia-ukraine-putin-peace-negotiator-vladimir-medinsky/

"Vladimir Putin’s chief delegate at peace talks with Ukraine is a historian who once claimed that Russians have an extra chromosome due to their superiority"

"The historian also led Russian negotiators during fruitless talks in 2022 and adopted such a hardline position by demanding Ukraine’s capitulation, disarmament and future neutrality that the negotiations promptly collapsed."

"An ultranationalist populist historian, he is alleged to have ghostwritten a number of the Russian president’s “academic” articles, including his famous essay of 2021 that provided the rationale for the full-scale invasion of Ukraine the following year. It questioned Ukraine’s right to exist as a separate entity, arguing that Ukrainians and Russians were one people and that the US had turned Ukraine into an anti-Russia.

He also co-authored a history textbook now in use in all Russian schools that claimed Ukraine was an “ultranationalist state” where “opposition is forbidden” and that the West had used it as a “battering ram” to destroy Russia."

He's probably getting the idea from a notion that a proportion of male Orcs are genetic descendants of the worst and most prolific rapist in history who was the very definition of a barbarian - Genghis Khan.

concepts of a plan…

Germany won’t be sending Taurus missiles after all.

Trump and Europe are pissing their pants of Putin, it’s pathetic. The only leader who has the balls to stand up to him is Zelensky.

Russia are preparing to launch a ballistic missile carrying a nuclear warhead on Sunday to intimidate Ukraine and the West, Ukrainian military intelligence warned.

An RS-24 intercontinental rocket will be launched from Russia’s central Sverdlovsk region soon

The missile has a flight range of more than 10,000 kilometres (6,200 miles), nearly double the distance from Russia to the UK

Lets just pray war head is empty.

I don't know what they have,

Ah OK, things must be pretty bad for the Russians then. Especially as they're about to launch a massive offensive

All eyes on Romanian election. George Simion doesn't agree with endless aid to Ukraine, but he also has no time for Putin, and believes in Nato, Eu, and US leadership

Yeah, to scare, not to detonate. Because if they do launch a genuine nuclear attack, it will be answered, and not just by the west, but also by China,Iran and N Korea, who have already warned Putin to cut back on the nuclear rhetoric, if they want their continued support.

It's a missile that can carry nuclear warheads, but there wont be any on it.

According to the GUR, the missile will carry a non-nuclear training warhead and has an estimated range of more than 10,000 kilometers.
