Russian invasion of Ukraine

[YUPPIE]

Because you have a history of fearmongering, lying, and twisting stories. Remember China? Weren't they the biggest threat that would cause WW3 soon? Or how about North Korea? Weren't they suppose to nuke South Korea any day now? You don't have any credibility to have been the one to have started these topics. So how about putting down the bottle and getting some help.

you basically just said: you may not be fearmongering per se now, but based on what you have acted like in the past, no one can take you seriously anymore regardless of being constructive now.

I'd say you're The Boy Who Cried Wolf but that implies that you could be right someday and that would be giving you too much credit but what you just said here is essentially correct. Same reason no one takes Kokolums all that seriously after his constant talk of a 2nd American Civil War happening any day now.

The plot thickens. Yet another "sources pending" post from me, but finnish newspaper refers to Reuters, saying something about "something weird in Romanian airspace" sighted, that could look like a weather balloon.

Yeah, everyone is on edge now, but let's wait some minutes and see what this is about, I cannot find anything like it in Reuters myself.

Also to lighten up certain doomsday attitude, also an earthquake hit Romania earlier today about over an hour ago. Coincidence? I THINK NOT!

Nah, let's wait

Romania detects suspicious weather balloon in its airspace, ministry says

BUCHAREST, Feb 14 (Reuters) - The Romanian Air Force's surveillance system detected an aerial target that looked like a weather balloon flying in the country's airspace, the defence ministry said on Tuesday.
Two MiG 21 LanceR jets were scrambled to the area in southeast Romania 10 minutes after the sighting but could not confirm the target's presence, the ministry said, adding the balloon was flying at an altitude of 11,000 metres.

5.5 magnitude, not too small. Not too big either. As for the UFOs, I did have an alien invasion on my 2023 bingo card but later in the year.

Guys, it was me. A bit too much fart in the food, as we say in Swenglish. (fart literally means speed or in this case "oomph")

Seriously though. Regarding Solovyov's son... I don't think he's responsible. In fact, maybe his father hates him too? Maybe the boy is helping the West anonymously? I dunno. The fact that his son lives in London is good news imo.

The fires, could they be coverup corruption/fraud etc?

It doesn't mean much, but in response to the statements Russia is trying to infilitrate/destroy Moldova from the inside-out, they responded with:

"no, we're not doing that stop making us look bad."

I mean at this point they will have to admit to something for people to believe they AREN'T involved in something.

It's even harder to believe because, in the same time frame that was claimed, Prigozhin completely admitted to sabotaging US elections.

It's weird he would come out with this, even when you consider pride. Because it goes against Putin's diplomatic interests and makes the Kremlin look even worse, which is stranger when you consider Prigohzin is frequently cited as Putin's "right-hand man." It's just not a well-thought out move.

1) they’re Russians, nothing they concieve of is anything near “well thought out”.

2) how would YOU be able to recognize “well thought out”? Your analysis have consistently been at the level of the average 11 year old.

I would like to take offence on behalf of any 11 year olds that may be reading this thread. Average or otherwise.

So I'm not trying to add to any fearmongering here; therefore, I won't give personal input, but this made top story:

Russia deploys nuclear-armed ships for first time in 30 years

‘Tactical nuclear weapons are a particularly serious threat,’ Norwegian intelligence report says."

Russia has begun deploying tactical nuclear weapon-armed vessels in the Baltic Sea for the first time in the last 30 years, the Norwegian Intelligence Service said in its annual report.

“The key part of the nuclear potential is on the submarines and surface ships of the Northern Fleet,” the Norwegian intel noted.

The Northern Fleet warships regularly went to sea with nuclear weapons during the Cold War era, but this is the first time the modern Russian Federation has done the same, the report added.

While Russia also has submarine capabilities, anti-satellite weapons and cyber capabilities that could threaten Norway and the NATO military alliance, tactical nuclear weapons are “a particularly serious threat in several operational scenarios in which NATO countries may be involved,” the report said.

The Norwegian intelligence also noted that an escalation of a localized war into a wider conflict involving the United States, NATO and Norway cannot be ruled out.

The agency assessed that while Russia will maintain, modernize and develop its nuclear arsenal, no significant changes in Russian nuclear doctrine are expected in the coming years.

How is this not fearmongering rusbot?

He obviously thinks that if he doesn't specifically spell out the N word dozen times; only implies it, then it's magically not qualified as fear mongering.

The Brits are saying that 97% of the entire russian army is now in Ukraine. Basically the entire rest of the country is undefended.

No one is going to directly attack Russia so that's moot.

Also, they really are going in on the 500k man assault huh

[Corvus]

Ah, but what if a separatist movement started up somewhere - is russia going to nuke itself?

And the winter offensive has already started and largely failed. They threw 6 brigades plus support units at Vuhledar, some 30-50k men and got wrecked. The other offensives have faired little better.

Again, literally nobody doubted this.

yes they did (again). Some posters here were "they cant be THAT reckless"

what a timeline to be in where they literally mostly ran in on foot with the full estimated numbers

Quote them. No one said that. A lot of people said they were going to fail but no one said they can't be that reckless.

a few pages ago, I recited that conversation with that moderator here, who demanded to know how they would get supplies, etc, and that my suggestion they were going to launch this "final all out assault" was just doomsday/paranoid talk.
