[The Future’s Blue!]

We’re pathetic when it comes to the borders, fucking 50 people out of 13,000 applications.

Absolute disgrace.

Anonymous claim they have already hacked into a live Russian TV broadcast and shown images from the war. The BBC say this hasn't been verified yet, but interesting if true.

Good thread from an ex Russian foreign minister.

Yes, Putin as a fascist dictator who may (hopefully) have over-reached makes more sense than than Putin as deranged psychopath.

6 Point plan? More like shitty idea's thought up whilst pissed - 6 Pint Plan

Knobhead.

 

[Blue Maverick]

Makes you wonder if the Russians are sabotaging that convey from the inside, like he said if the Ukrainians treat the prisoners well then it’s the end for Putin. No way Russia can hold the country it would have to be under Marshall law forever.

Quite an interesting read on what could happen if Russia fails in Ukraine and why that prospect might fuel the Kremlin to act more desperately. In German but Twitter has a translation button.

Just curious as to how you would go about this mosssideblue?

Three approaches I would consider.
1. NATO call Putin's bluff and support Ukraine by putting boots on the ground and creating a no fly zone for Russian aircraft. Only doing this after telling Putin in no uncertain terms that if he is thinking about going nuclear, Russia would suffer far worse than the rest of the world.

2. If not willing to create a no fly zone, immediately give Ukraine the resources to do that themselves

3. Create a coalition outside of NATO framework to give Ukraine the no fly zone.

Sure, there is a risk that Putin might want to go nuclear, but I would think he would be a lonely figure wanting that, and without full support from his military command, it won't happen.

What cannot continue is this constant war criminality and geneside with others simply watching on because of fear of the bully
