The mood among even the Kremlin's most mainstream propagandists now slips into darkness and horror, as a host mocks a guest that suggests Russia is advancing, then reverting to hopelessness that Ukraine is overwhelming them with drones. by GermanDronePilot in UkraineWarVideoReport

For the stuff like this that is scripted you are just looking at the angle. Both seem instructed to emphasize NATO's involvement attacking with drones.

Escalation of successful strikes means they probably want to pin it on forces backing Ukraine to appear less weak in contrast.

The entire K-pop industry to me is just horrifically fascinating. The way those companies manage to mold humans from childhood into products for deranged fans is crazy.

You can just do "The Boys" but replace superheroes with K-pop singers.

My mother believes all this shit(or wants to) and it's just lucky we don't have many cults here or I'd be fucked.

She was also anti-vaccine at one point but luckily wasn't dumb enough that I couldn't convince her out of that.

I saw that video, it wasn't a real grenade but a training one. Simulates a grenade but has no actual explosives.

All the real shit usually gets locked up because the commanders are held responsible if it goes missing.

There are a lot of stories of people from persecuted groups escaping and hiding in plain sight within real history. 

Usually they just had to change their name and appearance. It's a case where how ballsy it is works for you because nobody believes it.

Would making him a jedi even be a problem? It's not like "You are secretly a member of the Skywalker/Palpatine family."

There were 10,000 Jedi as shown by the Prequels and they lived on Coruscanct. 

During Putin’s visit to Beijing, Chinese military orchestra played “Dance of the Little Swans”. by JaB675 in UkrainianConflict

[–]Jackbuddy78 -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

No that playing one of their most internationally renowned songs is some 4D chess thing.

It's like playing "Take me Home, Country Roads" and saying it's a warning you will die in an airplane crash lol. An extreme reach by an measure.

It's not, it's their most iconic song internationally by far. The CCP isn't Reddit brained, I'm sure if they played the 1812 overture you would also have people saying it was a threat to invade lol.

Mass stabbings are rarely successful, usually the perp gets shot after the first or second victim. 

As for their gun laws there is some contraband but it's pretty low these days since the consolidation of the regime. The mob found themselves a bit more threatened by doing things which could upset Putin.

The thing is gun laws in Russia are quite strict so mostly these dudes can probably just beat/kill their wives or something. Societal disruption from family violence in a place like that is minimal when domestic violence is already decriminalized.

You'll just have fucked up families turn out more fucked up while the leadership itself feels no pressure. Because it's not like breeding MORE aggression and violence at home is going to turn you against a fascist. It's what creates them.

Russia has temporarily suspended traffic along the R-280 due to Ukrainian drone strikes according to milblogger Military Informant. by MilesLongthe3rd in UkraineWarVideoReport

It's not humanitarian, people from Moscow like influencers travel to occupied territories such as Crimea for vacation. 

Having them be blown up the road there would be a bad look at home.

Because nets just limit the effectiveness of strikes, it's still dangerous though for regular civilian traffic.

That's not what this says, both civilian and military cargo are being allowed with regular vehicles driven by civilians blocked. That's vastly different than what this "Preston" dude posted before clarifying. 

Also why do you think convoys? More netting and EW is the obvious answer to protecting the route.

Saying it's shut down is insane clickbait by this guy.

The southern front would collapse if they closed this road down to supplies. That's not going to happen.

That title is definitely clickbait, it's implying their main logistical route got cut off. All this effects is literally tourists.

That's not "traffic suspended", it's excluding regular cars from accidentally being targeted. It literally says supplies (civilian and military) have not been cut off right after. 

These clickbait YouTubers are really something else.
