Russian invasion of Ukraine

I would not be surprised at all if after the first leak some additional misinformation was leaked to muddy the waters, and that one seems a prime candidate. We know just how massively paranoid pootie is, so dropping something like that to spread discord and distrust would be a smart play.

Even if not true, those named are going to wonder if their paranoid boss might decide not to take any chances.

If Putin really has cancer the west should help him with the radiation therapy. I hear polonium tea does wonders to keep cancer in check. Now THAT would be karmic justice.

Wait, some Russian general(s) are planning to "throw" the war while Putin's gettin radiated? Is this the closest to official confirmation we've seen that Putin has some form of cancer?

Anyways, for once I'm rooting for the cancer to win and be as miserable and awful as possible throughout the process. I want him shitting in bags involuntarily and shit.

Miserable and awful takes time.

That thought crossed my mind as well, the problem of course for putin is that IF it is true then he lost the support of the army AND of the security forces as neither of these two individuals would act in a vacuum and the chances of a coup increase if he moves against them. It is very well possible that, again if true, they wanted to replace him during chemo in order to make the transition as smooth as possible, and now they'll be forced to have a transition which is more bumpy.

Of course, that all hinges on it being true.

so here's a safe-for-work article on the beheading story last page, which has gone super viral.
[Snipped Translation] For reference for other posters: When we said people can link to potentially graphic material, do not also include a full rundown/translation of the events. It defeats the point of letting people avoid the violence depicted. We do not want people to share graphic content for the sake of it. It should always contribute meaningful discussion to the topic or be mentioned as a warning so people can avoid videos/pictures circling around. Discussing the impact of this type of violence in relation to the thread is fine, but there needs to be a certain level of restraint to show respect to those involved in the discussion and the victims discussed.

This comment has been included in the OP under "Updated Explanations".

[Removed Reddit link]: The Moderators removed the video entirely, for good reason. As such, the link to the thread will be removed. The article link is censored and is still included here for those willing to read a summary of the issue.

Fucking stop. Don't link that shit.

I've read about it, others read about it.

Your fucking psychotic gore and war fetish is getting annoying.

Leak claims Serbia agreed to arm Ukraine

I'm waiting now for Belarus to switch sides XD.


(ok that's not going to happen but these leaks are rapidly becoming very funny.)

[YUPPIE]

Fucking stop. Don't link that shit.

absolutely nothing NSFW is in what I linked, there's even a disclaimer

"There is a video of russians beheading a live Ukrainian soldier. We won't allow this video here, but we have seen it and it is real. Please take a moment to reflect on what is being inflicted on Ukrainians by the russian people, and channel your fury into meaningful action."

[MCMLXXXII]

You really should get some help. You're a despicable person

Serbia has been giving supplies to Ukraine via 3rd parties for a while now. They've been pissed off ever since Wagner advertisements have been popping up late last year.

Unfortunately, he genuinely believes he is doing an important and appreciated work here.

I mean, this is an important subject to talk about, and it's important to know what horrible shit the Russians are up to this time, but going out of your way to link that video is a bridge too far for me.

It's also how he always frames everything in the most extreme insane way.

Yeah, but this does put some more credibility to the leaks.

While true, YUPPIE keeps posting these (Likely while Drunk since they're an alcoholic by their own confession) hoping they'd get enough of us to foam at the mouth, march on our capitals to start WW3, so he can die his fantasy death in glorious battle.

Thank you Edge

Still boggles my mind how it's not a perma ban, that dude seems like he is banned as long as he is active.

Because one can juggle with the infraction point system to a degree that you can act nice until serious (high point value) infractions expire and then it's free-for-all shitposting. Like a cycle of locust swarms.

Aside from that, it's nice 16C weather here where I live. Didn't freeze to death months ago like Russia said I was supposed to.

Will we see Ukraine starting to do some serious counter offensive someday soon despite the treasonous (and possibly edited) leak?

How inconsiderate of you! russia did all that work and then you go ahead and deny them the fruits of their labour....I mean I did that as well of course...

Apparently there was some pushback today in Bakhmut around the trainstation, and there are reports about Wagner going virtually extinct around that area. (which, to be honest, would be wonderful.)

That's funny, cus Prig said something about Wagner controlling 80% of Bakhmut just like 2-3 days ago?

Controlling with what, ghosts of the slain orcs?

Not that it would be surprising they're so high on copium that the passive smoking that our local trolls here do makes them believe magical and imagined things about russian capabilities
