I love how desperate that makes Putin look. It's not like the other shithead can't use other forms of social media.

I call this piece, Soviet Precedence.

Ah, he's an unperson now. Just like the good old days.

Stalin's play book got pulled out of archives

It's obsolete, utterly nonsensical in the internet age. When you are a clumsy hammer, everything looks like a nail.

Let's see how that plays out in the age of social media.

Russia looking to copy China here. Little China looking pretty sad and desperate here.

It's starting to make sense now. Putin has disowned Prigozhin so he can run amok in the Ukraine. Prigozhin will be the one to detonate the tactical nuke or blow up the power plant and Putin will say,"he is not acting on behalf of Russia!" He's just gone to Belarus to make it look like the separation is real. Within 60 or 90 days I expect something large to happen.

Why blame Prig when Ukraine is right there ... ?

[–] Unicorn643@kbin.social 9 points 1 year ago

As a Ukrainian I actually agree. Russia has been blaming everything they've done on Ukraine, there's no reason to blame it on Prig instead of Ukraine, and it doesn't matter that it makes no sense

NATO made it clear that any fallout from a nuclear attack in Ukraine reaching a member state would trigger article 5. If Putin thinks he can pin such an attack on a rogue actor like Prig instead of Russia then maybe he can get away with it.

It's actually US legislation that says so. I haven't seen any news about NATO adopting that stance yet.

[–] Blade9732@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

I am pretty sure if fallout were to reach Poland, they would invoke article 5 and launch The Winged Hussars toward Moscow.

Can we do this to Trump?

He'd best be living on the ground floor lest he stumble out of an open window... unless Belarus has better window safety standards.
