That wasn't an invasion.

THIS is. Now, for reality...





The Orks, also called Russian greenskins, are a savage, warlike, green-skinned species of humanoids who possess physiological features of both animals and fungi. They are bombing everything indiscriminately, killing women and children and they die at a rate of ten to 1 when fighting men.

As you can see, Signym is so proud.

Putin's Defence Minister suffers heart attack 'not from natural causes' amid Ukraine war

Russian Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu has reportedly
suffered a massive heart attack amid the war with Ukraine and foul play is being suspected.

Vladimir Putin's Defence Minister, Sergei Shoigu, who has not been spotted for a few days now, has reportedly suffered a massive heart attack 'not from natural causes'. This comes as reports also claimed that 20 generals have been arrested for Russia's invasion of Ukraine, which has not been very successful until now.

According to reports, Shoigu, who has been a close ally of Russian President Putin since 2012, has been missing in action for some weeks now.

Russian-Israeli businessman Leonid Nevzlin also made a sensational claim about a major rift between Putin and his closest advisers and military leaders.

Two days before Russia launched its invasion of Ukraine, a video of President Vladimir Putin started doing the rounds on social media. In the video, Putin was seen asking Russia's Foreign Intelligence Service chief Sergey Naryshkin to "speak plainly" about his stand on recognition of Donetsk and Luhansk as independent states...

And more bullshit from SECONDRATE.

And now, for reality

Russia upgrades northern fleet as Finland debates joining Nato
Wednesday April 20 2022, 6.00pm, The Times

Russia is upgrading its northern fleet with hundreds of weapons in response to increasing tensions over the war in Ukraine, and proposals by Finland and Sweden to join Nato.

Sergei Shoigu, Russia’s defence minister, announced that “amid a dramatic deterioration of the military and political situation in Europe . . . over 500 advanced weapons systems will be delivered” to its navy in and around the Barents Sea.

Russian state media reports provided no details on what these weapons systems would be. But Shoigu’s announcement on yesterday came just a day before Finnish politicians started debating a proposal to join Nato, prompted by Russia’s invasion.

WOW, you ARE in la-la land, right there with SECOND, aren't you?

What you're doing, THUGR, is dehumanizing and demonizing (name-calling), which is what people like you do when they don't have reality on their side.

The Russian ambassador is Washington’s least popular man

Anatoly Antonov walks the halls of an increasingly empty embassy.

In an exclusive interview with POLITICO, he admits that Ukraine is a separate country from Russia, with a right to be sovereign, although he’s not sure how long that can or should last. After all, he says, Russia’s goal is much grander than reining in its neighbor. It’s about preventing the domination of the world by any one country.

“It’s a very narrow approach to say the ‘Russian invasion of Ukraine,’” Antonov said. “We are talking about changing the world order that was created by the United States, by NATO countries after the dissolution of the Soviet Union.”

When told that perhaps his current lack of popularity in Washington is due to his unwillingness to acknowledge the realities about what Russia is doing to Ukraine, Antonov refers to the adage: “Every coin has two sides.” In other words, he has his own facts he’d like Americans to consider.

“I am not trying to dissuade you. I would like you to look,” he said, at one point handing over a set of folders thick with op-eds, statements and images promoting Kremlin talking points about the Ukraine crisis. “It’s up to you to decide whether Russian ambassador is providing you with fake news.”

Moscow is not waging an unprovoked war on Ukraine, an independent country with a democratically elected government led by a Jewish man, Antonov said. Instead, he says, Russia is carrying out a “special military operation” to purge Ukraine of Nazis and other bad actors and ensure that the country is not a staging ground for NATO or other outfits that Moscow sees as a threat.

But now, after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, why should the world trust Russia?

“You have to decide who we are for you,” Antonov said. “Whether we are partner for you, whether we are rival for you, whether we are opponent, or I don’t want even to use this word, ‘enemy.’”

“As for me, I’m still sure we should be partners,” he adds. “Previously, I would say that we are partners. Now we are not partners. It’s a pity.”

Check it out. I watch this at times. It's a site called the Enforcer and it started its coverage when the war started. It is a live stream so if you are watching it after it occurred it will not look like it is playing. It is, so just move it along. Move it to ten minutes in.

Meanwhile, in the real world...

Shoigu is still alive, Mariupol is under full Russian control (except the Azovstal plant, which Putin has ordered "sealed off" instead of infiltrated. I guess the holdouts will just dehydrate or starve to death, or surrender), Kherson is using the ruble and planning a separation referendum, and ...
