This is the same intelligence branch that killed a refugee camp worker and his kids because they had "good" intel he was the bomber at the airport in Afghanistan. Turns out that was wrong. Why should anyone believe US intel? It's always wrong.
No kidding. They assessed Russia as the world's second most powerful military force. In fact, it turns out they're just the world's most unhinged nuclear power. Nothing more.

This has now become a social media challenge in Russia, with people posting their own TiKTok like videos mimicking this menace.



While we're speaking of unhinged, here we have the Russian discussion of the day. A "people's topic" which is, I suspect, a prelude to "the people's war" that is about to escalate in Russia.

Satanism, forget Naziism; is Zelenskyy an antichrist, or merely a demon?

How is the idiot fighting alongside 100,000 dead Ukrainians?

Zelensky has two superpowers spending $hundreds of billions of dollars for war. The rich Ukrainians already fled the country but there's a law for the poor men - YOU'RE NOT LEAVING THIS COUNTRY.

I was wondering what kind of talent this guy - Zelensky - has and after watching some videos I am sure he is an idiot.
A 100% low class crude idiot with no talent, and no brains is the most powerful guy on earth right now.

Look at him above - he might be the reason we have WW3.

There appears to be a series of significant "smoking accidents" happening at Russian Airbases. The first one at Engels 2 airbase.
.
Untitled-2.jpg
.

This base has been in the news lately due to the increased presence of supersonic strategic bombers.

https://eurasiantimes.com/freighting-im ... -160-t-95/

Big blast, initial reports are two bombers damaged. According to my scratchpad math this would be the view from approximately 5 kms away.

https://twitter.com/i/status/1599659705726431232

The second one is at Ryazan airfield, which is another strategic bomber base, southwest of Moscow and the reports are a fuel truck exploded and three killed, nine injured according to initial reports.

Image

Both blasts appear to be significant in size and the Ryazan airfield blast looks to be multiple explosions. (Terrible video though)

All of this happening on the day news leaks out about a Ukrainian built loiter munition with a 1000 km range and a 75 KG payload capacity. Hmm... no, probably just a carelessly discarded cigarette.

IF, this is the rollout of the Ukrainian strike drone, big IF, then Ukraine can actually reach out and touch somebody. The range gives it the capacity to strike the decision-making centers, the logistical support hubs and a number of significant bases that have been attacking Ukraine for months.

Bonus content from earlier in the day... 16.2 million dollars falling out of the sky.

ETA: Rumours of a third strategic bomber base hit. Shaykovka, southwest of Moscow. Damage assessments still vary with unconfirmed reports there have been 7 bombers damaged at Engels alone. There's one "unreliable" (IMHO) channel claiming 14 bombers have taken off from Engels airfield.

ETA 2: A little gaffer tape and some bondo... Hmm,... I wonder if they can still get gaffer tape and bondo?

If Putin really is heading to the frontline in Ukraine (and not just one of this doubles), now would be a really good time to drop a bunch of bombs in his immediate vicinity. Can't fault Ukraine for bombing in their own country.

Interesting reports that India working to supply Moscow with sanctioned goods. Apparently the huge energy price hikes we caused are hurting their exchange reserves.

Remains to be seen how succesful our latest plan to boost Russias economy will be. Hugely or just very?

Yeah sure. Now that Putin has a part time gig driving for UBER, Russia's economy should do fine.

Old Mercedes, still has a key, not push button start. Push button in Mercedes was introduced in 1998.

If it was a newer Mercedes, it would have been scrapped for the chips.

OMG, now I have to go searching through my history. I actually saw a video of him trying to get into a Lada today with all the top military talent. They broke the door handle and couldn't get it open. Yesterday there was a video with Putin telling Russians how important it was to buy Russian products. He laughed at the end of it... and why not, the microphone he was using was clearly made by Bosch. [icon_lol2.gif]

But hey, now that they have the backing of an economy that almost produces $1900 per person in GDP, things are going to turn around quickly. (And I thought I sucked at math)

Naa, he likely was driving it yesterday, as I mentioned the newer ones have been raped for computer chips.

Judging by the lack of reaction to USD/RUB currency rates ... it's a non-event.
