    I haven't seen any serious news sources reporting on it, which isn't surprising given the source.

    It'd be nice if true though.

    So, how about you actually read what I said before you start ranting on about some unrelated bullshit and disrespect my post with your childish antics.

    The only people I meet who escalate that fast are literal children. Luckily you don't have to worry about it because people are going to retain dual citizenship despite your off topic rants.

    Only in Russia, you can commit suicide by 5-man firing squad - according to Kremlin

    https://meduza.io/en/feature/2022/11...-investigation

    ‘Self-execution by firing squad’ After Russian colonel overwhelmed by mobilization duties dies in supposed suicide, his widow asks Putin to oversee investigation
    A paragraph later in the article:

    If this tragic death happened at Boiko’s own hand, which the investigation still has yet to determine, then it’s probably the first case of this kind of suicide in Russia — self-execution by firing squad.

    Falling down stairs sucks at any age... What's with Russian leaders dying all the time.

    Mariupol becoming even bigger graveyard to "hide" russian war crimes.

    https://twitter.com/Maxar/status/1598767829456912384

    The main city cemetery (Starokrymske) on the western side of #Mariupol has had significant expansion of the number of graves.
    @Iphie I am afraid your worst nightmare might be even worse when it comes to liberating Mariupol and seeing the results of a russian world.

    https://twitter.com/Maxar/status/1598766466396229632

    In #Mariupol, a Russian military compound has been recently built in the north-center of the city. Notice the Russian Army slogan on the top of the roof.
    https://twitter.com/Maxar/status/1598770838903619584

    Across the city of #Mariupol, dozens of high-rise apartment buildings that were destroyed or heavily damaged in March are now being demolished.
    Liberation for russians means death to everyone else.

    https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-ne...aine-ten-days/

    Russia planned to seize Ukraine within ten days and kill its leaders, according to new documents apparently signed off by Vladimir Putin.

    The leaked plans, revealed by the Royal United Services Institute for Defence and Security Studies (Rusi), show that Russia aimed to have annexed the country by August.

    Russia intended to capture Ukraine’s airfields, water supplies, central bank and parliament as Ukrainian officials either fled or were captured “as a result of the speed of the invasion".

    The Kremlin created a "kill list" of Ukrainians that should be killed or suppressed.

    According to Rusi, the plan was known to few in Russia's military and unit commanders did not receive orders to invade until hours before.
    The invasion was meant to begin with a "massive missile and airstrike campaign" against Ukrainian military targets.

    Critical infrastructure including railways and power stations would not be targeted as these were imperative for seizing full control of the country.

    Russia also planned to use Belarusian airborne units to help in the capture of the Rivne and Khmelnytsky nuclear power plants, Ukraine’s intelligence community believes.

    Officials planned to register the entire population by going door to door, noting if they should be eliminated or whether they were likely to collaborate.

    They would divide them into four categories: Those who should be killed; those in need of suppression and intimidation; those considered neutral who should be encouraged to collaborate and those prepared to collaborate.

    People would be processed through filtration camps.

    Russia also intended to coerce the cooperation of local authorities and regional governors, with the Federal Security Service directed to capture local officials.

    As time progressed, plans were proposed to “re-educate” Ukrainians by importing teachers and other officials from Russia.
    At this point, anyone claiming that Russia is just trying to save Ukraine should be permabanned. Russia is trying nothing less but either enslaving an entire people, and as they are utterly failing at it, annihilating the whole country as alternative.

    For Russia, you either obey, or you die.

    Ugh...this is going to be a black stain on humanity.

    But it seems that by not telling what was going to happen several things went wrong for the russians: No Belarussian involvement at the start nor any massive air and missile strikes so no "shock and awe".

    Remember russia's claims that 'Winter is coming' and people would freeze to death without russian gas? Turns out for once they were correct. What they didn't tell you was that it would be russians freezing to death because they mobilised essential utility workers meant to keep the heating running. Opps.

    This war is slowly turning russia into a farce. ("slowly" we all know I don't actually mean that word.) It would seem that russian stupidity knows little to no bounds. (or at least their leadership is this stupid.)

    Shoigu turned up unannounced in Belarus, went straight to see his Belarusian counterpart where they signed amendments to the Union State treaty between them, and then went on to see Lukashenko.

    pootie really is desperate to try and get Belarus involved.

    The level of the farce is slowly growing though. And I wish the level of depravity was at a constant but that will keep increasing as well.

    I have a growing belief that Russia is tired of being made fun of with charicatures, so they're establishing a reality that is impossible to "top" for comedic purposes.

    An explosion has taken place at a Russian airbase hosting strategic bombers, 400 km se of Moscow, reportedly caused by drones. If true, that is a long way inside The Russia.

    Oh, and Red Square is closer to Ukraine than that airbase is.

    I think this is probably due to some Russian rebel factions, not the Ukrainians.

    In the last week or so Engels airbase has scrambled bombers twice without them actually firing missiles, so that's interesting.


    Edit: They really ought to quit smoking on those airbases.

    BBC is reporting it was 2 airfields deep in The Russia that suffered explosions.
