Russia invades Ukraine again?

[Joe]

Oh, that's rich!

There's no way to confirm the Ukrainian story, so it could be fake news. But what a head fake.

[laklak]

Yeah if it's agitprop it's good.

[pErvinalia]

I wonder whether Vlad will survive this. I wonder if the assassination plots are already being worked up.

[laklak]

That's the million buck question. Dude has ratcheted up the nuke stakes to a point not seen since the early 60s. Surely, certainly, I devoutly motherfucking hope that his generals realize that if he launches Moscow is a puddle of radioactive slag in literally hours. They HAVE to realize this, yes? Vlad may be fucking crazy, but surely everyone around him isn't, right? Surely there is more than one Brutus in his inner circle. Et tu, Sergei Kuzhugetovich?

An ice pick is an old Russian tradition...

I nominate Sergei Naryshkin, the head of their Foreign Intelligence Service. After that little exchange on Russian TV, he might be thinking his life expectancy is inversely proportional to Putin's.

After that little exchange on Russian TV

Poor cunt.

[pErvinalia]

Shame

It should be used as a floating hotel for Ukrainian refugees...

[pErvinalia]

It should be given to me (or laklak).

[laklak]

Fuck it rev, we'll be roomies.

With my head on your shoulders we'll wreck civilization.

It's up to Putin now. He is not going to leave without a good hunk of Ukraine to add to Russia. Not just the two he declared independent states.

Russia has actually claimed to have all of the Ukraine.

Unfortunately for Russia the Russian owned Ria Novosti prematurely declared victory at 08:00 on Saturday the 26th of February 2022 and made the intentions perfectly clear: A reintegration of all of Ukraine, which along with Belorussia and Russia proper marks the return of Russia to its glorious former state as a world power.

The announcement was quickly deleted. Alas, too late. The Wayback machine had already republished it in full. You can read it here. Or rather, you can feed it into Google Translate and read it there. I did. It's worth doing.

In that announcement Russia is totally upfront about its motivation and what it thinks will happen at the imminent conclusion of the "virtual civil war" in Ukraine. It will see in a new world order, and no other country or power block will be able to do anything about it.

I think we'll have to refuse it, lak. We can't rely on the state to intervene on our behalf. It's against the principles of libertarianism.

Entertaining reading indeed. Thanks; I had heard about this piece but had not read it. Those Anglo-Saxons aren't going to get away with it anymore!

Trotsky style? that's far too much honour for him... assassinated in his bath like that crazy roman emperor would be more like it...
