Lol no. Everybody knows exactly what this is

Thank you!

Sounds like a skill issue

Ukrainian made UJ-22

I really wish America would catch up to the rest of the world on human rights...

Clearly there are NATO Biolabs in Moldova creating Zombie Nazi birds to fight in Ukraine.

I feel that is kind of a given considering. I haven’t read the article, do they mention type of vehicle?

Grey's Historical Almanac 2000-2050. /s

A former VKontakte friend, who unfriended me when last year's invasion started (so I blocked him in kind), explained to me the case for Russia holding onto Transnistria, which was that there was this extremely rare and obscure Turkic ethnic group that's majority-Christian that needs to be protected from "genocide".

Mind you, this guy could be best described as a "4chan tankie". Like, Eric Cartman-level immature, who used racist, homophobic, and anti-Semitic language to defend the USSR, China, and Putin while bashing "Western liberal Russophobic fascists".

The Russian case for holding onto far-flung territories like South Ossetia, Transnistria, Donbass, and even fully de jure territories like Chechnya, the Kurils, etc. has always been flimsy, illogical, and incoherent. At this point, we can ignore all of their concern trolling and whining about the "mean old liberal NATO West" after what they did in Ukraine.

I am glad Russia has time to worry about Moldova

AA capability isn’t really compromised for Russia with concern to Ukraine and how an S-400 is deployed. Just because it explodes doesn’t mean it can be used for any other case where there are reportedly shortages. It’s not going to be effective as an artillery shell as an example.

A nuanced take? Not very common these days!

It's true, this man has no dick.

Are you saying genocide is okay when performed against a group that advocates for genocide?

Cause I’m pretty firmly on the “nobody should commit genocide” side of things.

Well I have serious doubts about russian capability of delivering more than 10. Since the upkeep of nuclear warheads costs a lot of money and you know... no one expects nuclear war, it's more of a deterrent so... let's spend it on yachts!

It's a really a question of geographical convenience and freight more than anything else. Plus the second biggest Indian refinery is owned by Russian shareholders.

The goal is to drive Ukrainian and NATO resources away from the Russian offensives in the four occupied oblasts. Every shell sent to Moldova is a shell not sent to Ukraine.

Any place with a lot of Russians is potentially concerning. Estonia is 23% Russian by ethnicity and cities like Narva, where they are heavily concentrated, could be sites for trouble. Southeastern Moldova is a hotbed of Russian sentiment outside of Transnistria itself.

Dear Lord, is this what we're up against? Do people really believe the things Putin says?

Well you know maybe it’s not “Nazi gold” but there is a reason having a Swiss bank account when you aren’t from Switzerland raises some eyebrows..

I mean reddit also called her out years ago when she was opposed to nuclear energy?

That's still an issue across the wider grid, but some parts of Australia have hydro power, so you can either slow them down or run them in reverse when power is plentiful.
