  2. Considering russia has been using soviet era weapons developed in Ukraine this whole time and stuff from Iran and n Korea, this building was probably just for show.

  5. Does anyone know if how many other sites they have like this one?

  10. This needs to be said as sad as it is to say. No human population has ever ended a war that didn’t first suffer its atrocities directly. In the US, we only ended Vietnam once our own government began committing atrocities against its own people for failing to abide. This maybe was the most muted form of change in war morale.

    The Ukrainian people have endured more than 2 years of horrific and traumatic atrocities by the Russian hordes. And they continue to fight on and endure. But only recently have the Russian people begun feeling and experiencing just some of the terror that war brings.

    Who is innocent and who is guilty? War doesn’t discriminate. All suffer. And it’s high time the Russian people had an equitable share. Perhaps then, they’ll be inclined to pressure their government to end the madness.

  13. I’m guessing Germany decided this is there fuck around and find out response.

    Putin was warned repeatedly that invading a sovereign country to steal its territory was a bad idea. It was a slow start but now he’s starting to reap the whirlwind. At first the fires seemed like they could have been just random Russian stupidity but now there have been too many for that theory to hold water.

    That does not look like a small fire.

  25. Don’t worry I’m sure the north Korean alternative chips will be of equal quality, perhaps even better if blessed by their authoritarian dictator/god before sent to ruzzia.

  26. I’m sure it was an horrific accident, totally not a Ukraine spec op, drone, or partisan thing . . . that would be impossible given the 100% top class ruZZian defense capability and the patriotic multitudes who would never think of opposing this special operation!

    Someone must have been smoking carelessly, or something, obviously. . . .

  27. There seems to be a lot of power outages in the UK infrastructure, like airports and the NHS, and Russian factories going up in flame not long after…
