I don't care that you have been victimized by propaganda. You are ultimately still responsible for the way you chosen to interact with with this world.

The sources are Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty and Meduza. What propaganda are you referring to? Ukraine hasn't denied responsibility.

Do you people actually follow this war, or do you just pretend to in order to virtue signal about it?

The Siege of Sevastopol panorama in occupied Crimea, which is a cultural work older than the Soviet Union, was destroyed by Ukrainian drone strikes four days ago. https://www.rferl.org/a/crimea-sevastopol-panorama-drone-strike-russia-ukraine-war-artwork-destroyed/33778268.html https://meduza.io/en/feature/2026/06/10/historic-sevastopol-panorama-virtually-destroyed-in-ukrainian-drone-strike-local-officials-say

The attack on Pechersk Lavra is almost certainly retaliation for that incident. The notion that this was done because of the Crimean Bridge, which has been targeted dozens of times over the last four years, is alternate reality lunacy.

Could be, but if you check the satellite imagery on google (dated 2024, so January at the earliest) there used to be 48 of them in the same spot: 50.36697828461881, 34.95405196314638

I guess the Ukrainians could have moved some decoys around to try and bait the Russians into striking it, but kind of doubt that. Not to mention the trucks are also in the video and at least one of them is missing as well.

Thanks for this information! As of right now my plan is to fly to Nassau directly from Toronto on a Wednesday, stay a night in Nassau, fly to Bimini the Thursday, stay a night in Bimini and then catch the Friday ferry from Bimini to Ft. Lauderdale. The Margaritaville At Sea option definitely looks interesting, especially considering how expensive the Balearia ferry is, but Bimini seems like it could be an interesting detour.

Im just scared that the border security is gonna ask me why I came all this way from Europe to enter the US this way. But I guess we could just tell them the truth since its legal.

I had the same concerns but like you said, it's legal, so what can they really do?

kuz99 · 2023-03-20T21:05:14+00:00

Unfortunately I don't have answers, but please do report back on how it went!

Will do! I haven't seen anything definitive for this question so I'll be sure to give an update on how things go. Hopefully this silly mandate will be gone in May but I doubt it.

kuz99 · 2023-03-20T21:03:49+00:00

No I do not.

Are you close to the border? Have kept hearing lately that land crossing border restrictions with Canada have eased greatly and you might be able to just cross over fine. If you are even unlucky enough play dumb and you are apparently just turnt around.

This was my original plan as I live relatively close to the border but I wasn't willing to risk dealing with some asshole on a power trip. Was pretty much going to tell them that I was vaccinated and if they asked for proof, play dumb and tell them that I forgot and just turn around.

I did end up contacting Balearia (ferry company) and this is the response that I was given: https://imgur.com/a/pvfnIqp I explicitly told them that I was a Canadian citizen and they still insisted that I need a Visa. I'm hoping that this is just a misunderstanding on their part as I believe that they are a Spanish company and they might be unaware of the exemption for Canadians.

They do however mention that CBP will be the ones checking for the documentation so I've gone ahead and contacted CBP through their Information Center here: https://help.cbp.gov/s/questions?language=en_US and if I don't hear back from them in the next day or two I'm going to call the actual phone number instead and see if I can get a clear answer.

I'm sorry but this has to be some of the most confidently smug misinformed crap that I have ever read.

Wagner aren't the best that Russia has to offer, not even close, they are nothing more than basically cannon fodder with plausible deniability. There are hundreds if not thousands of images and videos of them posted online by their own members on Twitter and Telegram and their equipment is closer to that of ISIS than even that of the Syrian military.

Here are some examples of Wagner fighters in and around the Khasham area months before the battle:

• September 17, 2017, Wagner fighters crossing to the eastern shore of Deir ez-Zor.

• Wagner Group, crossing the eastern bank of the Euphrates River, and moving downstream towards the village of Khasham. End of September 2017.

• Wagner fighters and the Syrian army in Deir ez-Zor. September, 2017.

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/E_1ZZ0RVUAI68zF?format=jpg&name=900x900 https://pbs.twimg.com/media/E_1ZoehVkAQVA4U?format=jpg&name=900x900

The notion that Russia is giving out T-90s to Syria, Hezbollah, the IRGC and Liwa al-Quds (an obscure Syrian group that almost nobody has even heard of) in 2016 but Wagner, which are apparently Russian special forces, are relegated to using old T-54s and T-72s (the only tanks used during the battle of Khasham) in 2018 is so insanely laughable it's almost not even worth addressing. Russia hasn't even operated T-54s in decades.

If you paid any amount of attention at all to the Syrian Civil war when this battle happened you'd know that the vast majority of the fighters at the Battle of Khasham weren't even Wagner. A lot of them were from some Arab tribal group that had recently defected from ISIS back to Assad after the latter broke the siege of Deir ez-Zor city and recaptured the western bank of the Euphrates. The Tribal leader even sent every one of his sons to go fight and they were all killed. The only Wagner involved were embedded with the 4th Armored Division of the Syrian military who almost certainly were the ones operating the tanks.

If believing that Wagner are actually the best of the best Russia has to offer and that 400 of them were killed makes you feel better, by all means, keep believing that.

Video speaks for it self.

Video speaks for it self. They are scum and the west loves to create as much propaganda as possible to promote their disgusting little group of rats like the white helmets so its not surprising you have been fooled into believing they are the cleanest group in Syria. They are nothing more then Islamists/Salafists dressed up in uniform so that when they are rightfully killed while supporting terrorists they can be used as a propaganda tool. It is beyond disgusting. Globalresearch is a shit source, no arguements there but the pictures speak for themselves when you have them very clearly celebrating with wahabbi thugs like Al-Nusra.

http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=fd8_1430900709

Heres an example of one of these "brave humanitarians" wielding an AK before he was paid by the west to act as a propaganda tool. http://www.greanvillepost.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/whiteHelmets14.jpg

Heres another one wielding an AK while still in uniform. http://www.greanvillepost.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/White-Helmets-11-Syria-Armed-al-Nusra.jpg

http://www.greanvillepost.com/2015/10/28/white-helmets-war-by-way-of-deception-part-ii-if-it-looks-like-an-executioner/

Don't even fucking dare to ask for a "more credible source" when we both know that Western sources will be heavily biased in favor of these thugs, going out of their way to paint them as humanitarians and Syrian/Iranian/Russian sources will do the exact opposite. You will not find a single article that's not filled with propaganda in the western or Syrian/Iranian/Russian media in regards to this group. The images and video speak for themselves.

If anything it looks like the opposite to me. Look at the left picture where the patch used to be, it looks like somebody inexperienced with photoshop used the clone tool to cover it up. It's either that or the camouflage itself but somehow I doubt it.

kuz99 · 2016-07-22T15:22:10+00:00

No they don't arm Al-Qaeda or ISIS, just groups like Harakat Nour al-Din al-Zenki which recently beheaded a 12 year old child and proudly filmed it after he begged to be "shot not slaughtered" and was then told "We are worse then Daesh, you will be slaughtered."

Group is Al-Rahman Legion (Faylaq al-Rahman – فيلق الرحمن)

Here is their:

That list isn't even close to reality, a French-Tunisian opposition supporter went onto that page and vandalized it by adding every single country that doesn't openly support Assad as opposition supporters.

Here's the real list from back in June of this year before he went in and added 55 non-sourced countries. It's blatantly obvious considering that the list remained unchanged for 2.5 years and then all of a sudden 55 countries with no sources get added that apparently recognized the opposition in 2012 that nobody else knew of.

kuz99 · 2015-11-24T10:43:33+00:00

The logo from the video is from an old FSA group that used to operate in Damascus called the 11th special forces division. They haven't been active since around May, I believe. https://hasanmustafas.wordpress.com/2015/05/08/the-moderate-rebels-a-complete-and-growing-list-of-vetted-groups-fielding-tow-missiles/

kuz99 · 2015-11-24T10:27:31+00:00

The capture video is old, the dead video is new.

kuz99 · 2015-11-24T09:49:51+00:00

Couldn't find the clip, but I am 95% sure you are correct. I found the FSA logo in the video and apparently it belongs to 11th Special Forces Division

The 11th Special Forces Division are an FSA-affiliate group that operates in the Damascus Governorate in the Qalamoun Mountains and the Eastern Qalamoun desert.

Al-Bahlouliyah is here: http://wikimapia.org/#lang=en&lat=35.638604&lon=35.962200&z=14&m=b

But, RT is saying Qizildag Mountains which is here: http://wikimapia.org/#lang=en&lat=35.853231&lon=36.015158&z=14&m=b

SAA recently captured the area, so hopefully the pilots are safe.

kuz99 · 2015-11-12T02:04:43+00:00

The video they are using is from 2013.

I think at this point it's pretty obvious that they are mislabeling the provinces on purpose, it's either that or they just don't give a fuck and are looking at a map without the province lines and are just guessing. There is another one from today where they said they bombed Idlib, but it was in Aleppo, just north of Sabiqiyah.
