It ended with the fall of USSR, and one day, Russia did do the classic train to nuke Stockholm maneuver, and everybody wounder what was going on. The Russian ambassador did go out in the media, and say it was a mistake, that the crew did need training, and re-used old USSR training program, and it was not a threat to Sweden, and Russia wanted friendly relationship, and will train elsewhere in the future.

    In "modern" time Russia have re-started the nuke the Stockholm maneuver. The big problem is that they fly with there transponder off, so only the military radar see them, but civilian radar for traffic control can not see them, and they drive through "lines for passenger flights" The risk for collision is low but its a rude behavior.

    So what Russia is doing now is noting more then old saber rattling.

    This time for sure?
    Sometimes, the light of the moon is a key to other spaces. I've found a place where, for a night or two, the streets curve in unfamiliar ways. If I walk here, I might find insight, or I might be touched by madness.

    I assume you'll take responsibility and stop posting if (when) nothing happens.

    Right? Anything else would be hypocritical, and surely you aren't that.

    He keeps promising he will stop posting till "inevitable" Trump win in November, but it seems that anxieties and other issues are too strong.

    You really cannot see the insanity in what you are saying, have been saying and will probably be saying in future? Was the russian view you were seeking so full of doomsaying that now you're posting incredibly biased and weird takes here...?

    What's channel 14? Why are you parroting information from sources you acknowledge may not be legitimate?

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Channel_14_(Israel)

    Now 14 (Hebrew: עכשיו 14), colloquially referred to as Channel 14, is an Israeli right-wing and conservative commercial television channel and news site. The channel broadcasts news, political commentary, satire and talk shows, all of which are presented from a right-wing perspective. The controlling shareholder of the channel is Yitzchak Mirilashvili.
    Yitzchak Mirilashvili (born Vyacheslav Mikhailovich Mirilashvili; Hebrew: יצחק מירילשוילי; born 1984) is an Israeli investor, entrepreneur and philanthropist.[1] He is a co-founder of VK (Vkontakte.ru), Russia's largest social network.

    Wait, do they broadcast in Greek or English, too? Do you watch that online if you don't live in Israel?

    Nah, I worked for some years in Mossad so I learned Hebrew /sarcasm

    I saw it on Twitter, from a Greek account that is very legit.

    Now if only browsers had a "translate" option, eh?

    No links, no sources. Dude just says that rockets are being sent. Guess it's enough for some peeps to announce WW3.

    Because of fucking course it's the Russians.

    Unironically, when the fuck are our governments going to realize the corrosiveness of anything Russia adjacent?

    Like enough is enough.

    Yikes, on the verge of WW3 at the same time as a Civil War in the US? Hopefully those don't overshadow the Race Wars that right-wingers want as well as the long overdue Franchise Wars.

    Channel 14 reported that the Russians have begun sending Iskander ballistic missiles to Iran
    Translations do exist on the internet for free.

    I'm not seeing any reporting on this since this tweet and apparent Channel 14 report so I won't begin counting my chickens quite yet.

    So Russia, who are short on missiles and have to save up before they can launch an attempt to overwhelm western missile defence in Ukraine to hit another children's hospital, are sending their precious missiles to Iran, so they can be launched across the Middle east, be intercepted by numerous countries and then get taken out by the single biggest concentration of anti missile defence in the world.

    And this is supposed to worry anyone or lead to ww3?

    It must be tiring to be wrong all the time.
    It ignores such insignificant forces as time, entropy, and death
