Are you actually saying Putin is stupid? Do you really think that? I can't imagine a stupid person reaching his level of power being stupid.

Have you learned nothing over the last 5-6 years? Propaganda be working real good on you. Not at all different than my 22 year old daughter who gets triggered DAILY by going on TikTok to get her newz.

So far primitive Russian propaganda works the best on you. And the only reason you even think you prefer Russia is because FSB, in cahoots with the Demon Rat party, persuaded bunch of Trump supporters that he's indeed in bed with Putin. So now you like Putin because you like Trump, even though nothing Putin does IRL shoukd be appealing to the people calling themselves conservatives and American patriots:

- waging wars of choice on flimsy pretext (remember how you all were ripping your panties in protest against Iraq war?);
-baselessly calling his opponents Nazis (just like Demon Rats calling everybody Nazi, White supremacists and racists);
- unlimited immigration: just like Demon Rats love to import Mexicans as cheap labor Russia imports shitloads of Tajiks and Uzbeks;
- Covid lockdowns and QR codes - done and done;
- Killing civilians: remember how you were howling over the death of Awlaki's son, caught and killed in firefight when his father was being arrested? Now 2000+ civvies killed by MLRS bombardment in Mariupol alone is not a problem at all, "because Nazis!"
- Not allowing any dissent or peaceful protest: 15 years hard labor for "spreading disinformation abou special military operation", 5 years for "unapproved gathering", etc. No problem with the above, while bemoaning the treatment of Jan 6th protesters.

I can go on, but the point should be clear by now. Cognitive dissonance on Patnet is deep and deepening.

But you can't appeal to "peace" in Russia either. Calls for peace are handled as an expression of extremism.

This is the free country, as far as patnet is concerned.

"lies and propaganda"

You can see on YouTube Russian tanks blown up everywhere, several dead generals, crying Russian conscript boys, boys crying to their mothers, officers apologizing for their war crimes, and you can interpret for yourself what is happening over there.

You can see interviews with Russian guys who were big shots saying how fucked up Putin is, one guy has offered a million bucks to anyone who gets Putin.

I don't watch the alphabet news and have no idea what they say.

Having been to Moscow once just as a tourist I thought it was a fucked up country; I said to my companion :"The USA is afraid of these guys?"

No one would ever target a nuclear plant in a country that borders them. There's no advantage, and too many negative consequences to count.

Does Putin hold his pinky finger to his mouth and laugh manically when he does this? Do the Russian soldiers all have exaggerated evil grins and does their hair curl up into little horns on their head when they're shelling?

This is real life, leave the ridiculous exaggerations to the movies where they belong.

Another SMART play around nuclear shit:

Chernobyl employees say Russian soldiers had no idea what the plant was and call their behavior ‘suicidal’

By
Tristan Bove

March 29, 2022 11:37 AM PDT


Weeks after Russian soldiers took over the Chernobyl nuclear power plant in northern Ukraine, new reports reveal that the invading forces have engaged in reckless behavior at the facility beyond their initial shelling of it.

The Chernobyl power plant, which suffered a reactor meltdown in 1986 that left dangerously high radiation levels in the area, was the site of one of the first face-to-face confrontations in the Ukraine War. Russian forces won that battle, taking control of the reactors and raising concerns throughout Europe about their stewardship of them.

Recent reports show just how real those concerns were.

While the Russian army has occupied the Chernobyl plant, Ukrainian workers remain stationed there and overseeing the site’s safety protocols. Around 200 employees were still at Chernobyl as of March 7, according to the BBC, where they have continued carrying out duties despite limited food and medical supplies. Chernobyl workers are usually rotated out regularly, but since the Russian occupation employees have had to endure dangerous weeks-long shifts.

Two of these employees have reportedly witnessed instances of rash and dangerous conduct by the Russians, according to Reuters, with one source calling their behavior “suicidal.” Some soldiers had reportedly never heard about the disaster that some historians believe signaled the beginning of the end for the Soviet Union.

Shortly after the occupation started, Ukrainian officials warned that radiation levels at Chernobyl were rising due to a large number of heavy military machines disturbing the topsoil around the area. These reports have now been confirmed by employees working at Chernobyl around the time of the invasion who observed “a big convoy of military vehicles” driving straight through zones so contaminated with radiation that even trained safety workers at Chernobyl are not allowed to venture there.

Russian armored vehicles without radiation protection were seen driving through an area called the “Red Forest,” an area of woods four square miles in size surrounding the power plant. The area absorbed so much radiation from the Chernobyl explosion that its trees turned a gingery brown color, giving the forest its nickname. It is considered one of the world’s most radioactive places.

The employees said that the military vehicles kicked up a “big column of dust,” which may be what sent radiation levels soaring in the area following the invasion. The workers believed that breathing in that much radioactive dust could cause radiation poisoning, which can quickly turn lethal.

Valery Seida, the acting general of Chernobyl, has not been at the power plant since the invasion and could not verify the reports, but did confirm several witness accounts of recklessness by Russian soldiers who “drove wherever they needed to,” without heeding the warnings of plant safety officials.

The Russian army has made occupying nuclear power plants a common practice during its campaign in Ukraine. Around a week after taking Chernobyl, Russian forces took over the Zaporizhzhia plant, Europe's largest nuclear plant, in southern Ukraine.

Ukrainian and Western officials have said that keeping radiation levels at nuclear power plants contained is of paramount importance. In a nearly two-hour call earlier in March, French President Emmanuel Macron spent most of the conversation with Russian President Vladimir Putin discussing safety protocols at Chernobyl and other nuclear power plants in Ukraine.

Since being taken by Russian forces, Chernobyl has lost electrical power multiple times, which Ukrenergo, Ukraine’s electrical grid operator, has said could impair the plant’s safety and containment protocols.

Ongoing military activity in the area surrounding Chernobyl has continued well into March. Last week, the International Atomic Energy Agency warned that Russian shelling near the plant was preventing workers from rotating their shifts after nearly weeks of continuous work, endangering the plant and its safety protocols.

You're making lots of assumptions. I don't think there are any good guys in positions of power. I HOPE there are good guys somewhere but, I do not believe so. I believe world events are for the purpose of a one world government, one world religion and one world currency. I HOPE not but, the book of Revelations is creeping upon us.

Hircus says

is it a real fire though? or is it the "news" exaggerating and telling us a small brush fire 1/4 mile away means the "nuclear plant is on fire" so they get teh good clickz?

I heard CNN was reporting "fiery but mostly peaceful invasion." /sarc

I wish Don Lemon would stop fake broadcasting in a helmet while he still has cum on his face.

What I had initially subscribed to was that Putin was doing nothing America hasn't been doing for decades now. Pre-emptive war/strikes. How many times did our leaders say "we fight them over there so we don't have to fight them over here"? Our leaders are no better than any other country's leaders. Now, as usually happens, no one knows what the real purpose/reasons are for most political events. You think you know the truth? The Gods laugh at you.

One difference is that, presumably, Putin did the invasion because he thought it would be good for him and his fellow oligarchs to have more natural resources. The US does invasions for the benefit of the war and contracting businesses while leaving the natural resources.

You mean the oil won't pay for Iraq?

Putin asked EU to pay for gas in Rouble. That could be pretexted to shut off gas line if no pay or improve exchange value for Rouble.
Gues what, today, Rouble exchange returned to pre-war value. He won.

Wow, wasn't expecting that:

When Russia invaded Ukraine on February 24, it took 84 rubles to buy 1 US dollar.
On March 7, it took 131.2 rubles to buy 1 US dollar.
That's a 36% decline in the rubble vs the US dollar.
The ruble is now back where it started on February 24.

Russia is a house of cards with missiles.

It’s hard for most western people to appreciate just how backward Russia is, and needs foreign technology to function. It lost many of the technology and engineering class of people, and the education system sucks.
Russia has an economy similar to Saudi Arabia in several ways, highly dependent on imported goods and technology while exporting fossil fuels.

Soon airplanes won’t be able to fly there, parts are now banned.
This will later happen to trains. Transportation in Russia will be fucked up.

Russia developed a new tank, but since the invasion of Crimea western machinery to produce it is banned, so it is just a prototype. No tanks are being produced today of any kind from further bans.

The Russian military is shitty, its basic command structure is bad, and unwilling conscripts don’t want to fight.
The Ukraine military has been training with NATO advisers and has been battling the Russians in the Donbas region for a while. Ukraine infantrymen are better than the Russians.

The bad decision to invade Ukraine in February led to freezing soldiers, and now muddy conditions for tanks to get stuck. The lack of precision bombs means that the Russian airplanes must fly low and get shot down by missiles when dropping the dumb bombs.

Putin has a confused world view, envisioning a Russia with a larger place in the world than it could ever achieve.

Now the disaster in Ukraine may actually splinter the Federation, if the local government leaders start worrying about their own future.

Imagine Canada which exports resources to the USA and others, attacked Alaska, maybe the piece next to British Columbia.
Assume the USA told Alaska it won’t intervene to save it, but will stop all trade with Canada.
Canada might get Alaska, while ruining their economy in the process.

Nope. I know this isn't true.

Russia has one of the better educational systems on the planet.

I'm in a country where LGBTQ bullshit has to have a fucking LAW to prevent it from being taught to children in 3rd grade and below in public schools. Meanwhile, I know Russian engineers, and they aren't dopes and I use a Russian search engine to find information over Google because it's better at giving me results than Google is.

Russia is now like a young nation, finding its footing, but the West is old and decadent. India, China, and Russia are going to form a bloc. They will be real competition, because our stupid retard assholes have neglected and even subverted us for 3 decades. Americans are complacent. They don't even know what wars their own nation is engaged in. That's how fucking stupid and divorced they are from the government they supposedly elect.

Indians and Chinese use those little changed Russian Math and Physics textbooks from the 19th/pre WW2. Dense prose, only 1-2 pages per concept, a few simple graphs and those often monotone. Almost all of them were written by famous mathematicians and physicists, not by "Educators". They cover a topic for a few days then move on. You keep up or you get left out, no hand holding.

... but doesn't have remotely competetive car design and manufacturing, chip design and manufacturing, electronics design and manufacturing, civil aircraft design and manufacturing, agro tech (practically 100% foreign), food processing tech ( same as above), their universities are nowhere near the top in the ratings (I believe only one is showing in the world's top 100 and it's in the 70s or 80s place), etc.

And their tanks and helos are using French electronics, as we recently learned.

So if they do have such a great education system they are doing pretty good job of hiding the effects of it.

It’s amazing to watch people just follow the Mockingbird Media’s narrative regarding Ukraine and her puppet president. Yet, while most people claim they don’t trust the Mockingbird Media, and rightly so, their actions often speak louder than words. Ukraine is not only in the center of scandal concerning the Biden criminal family, but it is at the heart of a US-funded biolab scandal. However, consider why Russia is moving into Ukraine. Consider they have told us why they are doing it.

This is a problem with their internal infrastructure, not a problem with their education system. When the dollar collapses, it will no longer be advantageous for Russians to move West for work.

RWSGFY says

Pfft. I see the garbage being coming out of Yale and Harvard today. Hardly the cream of the crop. What people are telling you that the US has the top universities? I bet it's US universities.

It's not economically advantageous to individuals to stay in Russia currently and the investment for local industry isn't there.

I fully expect that China, Russia, and India are going to form an economic and military bloc as a result of past actions of the West. India has a huge untapped labor force, Russia has massive amounts of resources, and China has the infrastructure.

Future is interesting for certain.

100% agreed. Russia is still young and weak, still reeling from the communist devastation brought on by the soviet union days. It's a mistake to underestimate it, like we underestimated China all those years. Putler may be copying Xi here.
