Russian invasion of Ukraine

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

You have to cross the line really hard to earn a permaban around here.

Like, what did Shalcker in after years of bad faith posting was that he started handwaving away literal ethnic cleansing and genocide.

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

What appears to have happened is whatever is left of the VDV has taken over the flanks of the Wankers so they, or what is left of them, are further concentrated in the centre.

Seriously though what the absolute fuck. That dude ain't no snitch either, I wonder how big his game will be if the FBI finds out who this kid is and hauls him in for questioning. Fuckin larpers, man.

Perhaps the higher-ups in the military might realize that these ultra-right wing loons that fester within the armed forces and who are loyal to a specific political ideology more than the actual country are a direct threat to national security.

Wouldn't that be nice.

i thought the ones like :

For the third time, a War Thunder player has leaked classified military intel on the game's forums in response to, in this case, ammo for Chinese tanks not being accurate enough.

As reported by UK Defense Journal (via PC Gamer), a user uploaded an image of the DTC10-125 tungsten penetrator and a technical doc containing its specifications because they were angry about some small inaccuracies.

were pretty funny but this one is pretty serious and bad.


think bellingcat reported on it first https://www.bellingcat.com/news/2023...-defence-leak/

I assume people like this have no concept of the somewhat recent history of what happened to Manning when they leaked a whole bunch of stuff to Wikileaks.

You can't even claim they are willing to go to jail for 30-60 years to expose a great injustice because last I heard there isn't even anything of the sort in these leaks.

Remember the incident with the RAF plane over the black Sea, where a russian plane released a weapon near it? Well, it was much more serious than that according to the leaks.

The pilot misheard what ground control was saying, locked onto the surveillance plane and fired and it was only a misfire that prevented a shoot down.

Amazing how lucky our planet has been over the last 75+ years...

If you're that eager I'm sure the Ukraine volunteer force has a spot for you.

Nothing major would have happened. If he had shot down the UK plane we wouldn't have had WW3. It would have been more sanctions and maybe a more proactive approach to defending airspace but no more.

There are a lot of steps before the world gets 'unlucky'.

The leak says it could have amounted to "an act of war", meaning that it could have been used as a reason to wipe russia. But even if we discount that one, I deliberately said "75+" years, a lot of crap has happened which could have resulted in a TPK for Earth in the last 7 decades.

[Gabriel]

The West wouldn't have done much even if they shot down the plane. Tho it would have been interesting.

"But that would hurt our military readiness, expelling that large of a percentage!"
followed by
"WOW! There are so many x-military applying to be police offices, they still want to serve."

national security risk especially since their " thought leaders" trump/tucker openly want putin to to take over the US

Eh, I wouldn't be too sure, I think a lot would have depended on russia's response. Like if they would have said "our bad, there was a miscommunication between our ground crew and the aircrew", then yes, not much would have happened beyond some harsh words and increased tensions. If, however, russia would have said: "well you shouldn't have been there", then I'm fairly certain at least the UK would have responded. Art. 5 would probably have been a bridge to far but perhaps the gloves would have come of in regards to what would have been given to Ukraine.

From the article above, i don't read anything about him being pro Russia, but mostly did it to gain attention from other boys / young men.
