Ukraine - Russia Conflict (Original Title: Things are heating up in the Donbass)

[TEOTWAWKI inc.]

Looks like they were just passing by. With all the stalled vehicles and no food, Russians decided to have a quick game of 'Capture the Reactor' to occupy themselves while they were waiting for resupply. Once dinner arrives, they will forget all about it and resume playing 'Your Mother(land) is so...'.

This is nothing more than the equivalent of neighbors disagreeing over a tree on the property line between Steven Seagal and the Kardashians house, and being reported on Tik Tok by Will Ferrell. Only problem is that gay kid that had a meltdown on youtube years ago, over Brittany Spears or something, is running our government today.

Anyone know how much it costs to import a Russian tank from the Ukraine ? There may be some on the market at a good price soon.

The remains of the Russian military convoy blocked a street in the town of Bucha after the ambush - said to have been carried out by troops armed with NLAW missile launchers.

Ukrainian troops ambushed a Russian convoy 20 miles from Kyiv, wiping out dozens of vehicles using anti-tank rocket launchers supplied by Britain.

That look like some old vehicles right there. I think thats a BMP 1 or 2 for the first vehicle. Hard to tell about the BTR in the back without a better picture.

While I sympathize with the ukrainians it has become clear they are trying to manipulate the news coverage to get the US involved in the war. The horseshit about the reactor is clearly designed to stoke fear in the US.

Also, the Ukrainians putting videos of captured Russians calling home on the internet, for propaganda purposes, is against the Geneva Conventions regarding treatment of POWs.

Horrible reports from dep mayor of #Mariupol: “Residential areas heavily bombed. The situation is awful, we are near to a humanitarian catastrophe. We have been under more than 15h of continuous shelling without pause." And this is still ongoing right now

Here's some drone footage of his denazification campaign.

When the dust settles someone will claim they miss reported a potential event as 10 times Chernobyl when it would have more like 1/10 of Chernobyl. Hundreds of thousands of nuclear workers, students, and scientists know they are lying. It is bad enough ( Fukushima -ish) without the 1000% exaggerated hype to a 10x Chernobyl.

edit: by the way, Fukushima is a Boiling Water Reactor (BWR) design which is cheaper and dirtier than the PWR design of Zaporizhzhia. Just saying.

I was listening to CNN on radio last night and they had some experts on there. They were repeating that no reactors were under fire and one guy said that basically this would be more like fukushima if it ran out of cooling power and not like Chernobyl. The 10X was a panic inducing and not likely number. The host was continually saying they don't really have a clue what's going on so was essentially reminding constantly to not spaz out too much about it.

Name a Vodka brand imported and made in Russia .. .. no google ,.. no bing .. no duck duck go ,, ..

name one .. ?

i can't ..

Neither can I.

And, seriously, vodka??

Who gives a shit? - It has no character, no nuance...single malt Scot's whiskey, or a fine Irish, or a good bourbon...now you're talking enjoyment.

 

[MothMan]

Not only that, an incident there would threaten Russia herself. the winds are easterly.Another thing thing , is That Russia would know that this is going to bring the heat down by the rest of the world possibly causing or risking a NATO response. not worth taking and not worth defending.

Exactly. We are a deeply unserious country. Ban russian vodka but keep buying their oil pumping millions of dollars into them every day. This is ridiculous.

I don't know what to believe, anymore.

That reported "drone footage" may be real. But, when I watched it a few more times, the building with the lone fire in the apartment at the 12 second mark appears to be computer-generated. I suspect that there is some editing going on here. The flow of the image is just too "smooth." Scenes produced through Unreal Engine 5 are very impressive and can appear photo-realistic.

I could be wrong. But, I'm approaching everything I see with regards to this conflict with a degree of scepticism (and I'm biased against anything that Putin and the Russians do).

Then again...it could be real.

Can not go off like a nuclear bomb. It is impossible. It's physics.

It's very very difficult to get a nuclear bomb to detonate.

It took a team of the worlds smartest scientists years to figure out how to do it, *after* they knew it was possible.

It would not be possible even now to make a nuclear bomb out of the fuel in a reactor of that type. That's why there is no nuclear proliferation concern from normal nuclear reactors.

You either need to refine uranium to a weapons grade in centrifuges, or build a special type of reactor that can produce weapons grade plutonium.

That's what all the IAEA inspectors are supposed to be doing in Iran, etc... making sure the reactors they are building are not the weapons producing type, and making sure they are only enriching uranium to reactor grade not weapons grade.

What you *could* do with a large reactor like that is cause a massive radiological disaster. Like Fukushima or Chernobyl on steroids. But that would not result in a nuclear explosion, at worse a large steam explosion the equivalent to a few dozen tons of TNT.

You could do the same thing by spraying the waste from a such reactor around like a super powered agent orange.

 

[prambo]

There is very little about this that makes sense.

Even the degree to which it's being covered by the news media is all out of proportion to most similar events.

They're trying to bury the Scamdemic under as many layers of new pseudo-patriotic bullshit as they can.

The more and better Normies and New Covidians forget "COVID" the better chance Klaus Schwab and his Neues Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei have of more asset stripping and gaining more control.

This video is very alarming. I remember even just a few months ago how calm and level headed Nate was. He's always been "left of center" to middle of the road. He's hardly been an alarmist. But he's been getting some very ominous tips from insiders.

Watch this video

So urgent, so important, that he shaggy-dogs it for 10 fucking minutes to get to the point.

Convoys of humanitarian aid from Russian Federation are starting to arrive and distributed throughout Russian held territories.

Along the same lines posted above of why this is so confusing, so mired in bullshit, drowning in propaganda, even to the point of having a loathsome RINO senator ask if there might be an assassin out there to get Putin.

Just a suggestion... read the following link...it's not too long and it is imminently applicable to this Ukraine/Russia goat rodeo.

IMHO, this is exactly what is happening.

When sewer scum eaters like Soros, Schwab and Clinton are all on 1 side, you know there are boo-coo ulterior motives, and you aren't going to like them.

Isn't our RINO friend exhibiting the very kind of behavior that we condemn from the "Death to America"-shouting dictators in other countries?

Speaking of agitprop...

Lest we forget that Ukraine is the top source of bank trojans and ransomware.
We know it,
Ukraine knows it,
and Ukraine lets them operate with impunity. There will NEVER be a perp-walk for what they do to us.

They are not our friends. They can all die in holy fire, as far as I care.

At least one of those buildings is the one we saw peppered on the net 1-2 days ago, so at the least I know at least one of those buildings absolutely did get taken out.

Some doctoring can look very good but as other sources with other angles start to show the same thing they corroborate it.

Ukraine is also the top source for mila kunis. But in any case Russia is responsible for more hacking than Ukraine against US interests: Microsoft: Russia behind 58% of detected state-backed hacks

Ukraine may not be our friend so to speak but they are definitely not our enemy--which quite frankly Russia is. We are now in a proxy war against Russia. Not just a skirting around, but a direct proxy war.

A lot of Russian equipment is outdated anyway.


Just look up the difference in their defense budget vs. ours.

1. The United States ($778 billion)
2. China ($252 billion [estimated])
3. India ($72.9 billion)
4. Russia ($61.7 billion)
5. United Kingdom ($59.2 billion)
6. Saudi Arabia ($57.5 billion [estimated])
7. Germany ($52.8 billion)
8. France ($52.7 billion)
9. Japan ($49.1 billion)
10. South Korea ($45.7 billion)

Nice,
Please add the towelband with 80 bil. Thank you demonrats creating the third largest military this year.

Poor baby putler doesn't like being responsible for sending russia into an impending depression. Ever the liar he even says "I want to emphasize once again. We have no ill intentions towards our neighbors". Only a week after invading one and threatening finland.

Stay in your lane. You have no clue as to this topic. Nobody cares about "State Backed", those guys are simply doing intel crap.

Ransomware isn't state backed. Trickbot isn't state backed. Emotet isn't state backed.

"State Backed" hacks don't target hospitals. Ukrainians do. "State Backed" hacks don't wipe out entire companies with ACH fraud. Ukrainians do.

And the Ukraine govt knows it, and legalizes it. They even allow companies to incorporate and do it as their primary business.

They are very much our enemy.
