You're afraid of everything MSNBC tells you to be afraid of, little bitch.

We've got it all documented right here.

6ix, you are only a pair of hands, a running mouth, and glands. That is an ugly appraisal, but your drinking and smoking prove it. Don't feel bad, 6ix, because all the Trumptards I know in Texas, except for the rich ones who only voted for Trump because he'd let them cheat on taxes and government regulations, are the same as you. Trumptards, except the rich, can't run their little lives worth a goddamn and Trumptards shouldn't get up-welling feelings of superiority that your judgment is any better on more complex problems such as what happens if Putin does conquer Ukraine. Your tiny Trumptard minds won't stretch enough to encompass such a problem.

Oh, heaven's sake, SECOND! SIX has more real-world talent in one pinky than you have in your entire body! Can you do plumbing? Fix a car? Wire a garage? Install a video cam? Program?

Can you manage a landscape? Fix framing? Set your relatives up with their tech gadgets? Plaster, spackle, or paint? Fix small engines?

If not, what good are you?

Meanwhile... Russia captures Bakhmut city administration building. I'm a little off on my prediction. I said they would capture Bakhmut by end of March. Apparently my timeline is slipping a little.

Meanwhile, desperation fuels terrorist action. Like the assassinations of Daryana Dugina, or the previous assassinations of two Donbas commanders (when Kiev was getting it's ass handed to it) Kiev's SBU has apparently resorted to assassinating journalists.

Signym, you're crazy.

Russian authorities are blaming Ukrainian government entities and Russian opposition figure Alexei Navalny for the April 2 assassination of Russian milblogger Maksim Fomin, also known as Vladlen Tartarsky. The Russian National Anti-Terrorism Committee claimed that Ukrainian special services collaborated with the Anti-Corruption Fund, which Navalny founded in 2011, to plan the attack against Fomin.[4] Kremlin Spokesperson Dmitry Peskov claimed that the Ukrainian government may be behind Fomin’s death and claimed that Ukraine has killed others since 2014, such as Daria Dugina, which Peskov spuriously used as justification for the “special military operation.”[5] The Russian Investigative Committee reclassified the case as a terrorist attack and claimed that it was planned in Ukrainian territory.[6] The Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs (MVD) confirmed that the sculpture handed to Fomin prior to his death contained hidden explosives.[7] The Russian Investigative Committee confirmed on April 3 that Russian authorities detained Daria Trepova in a St. Petersburg apartment on suspicion of the attack.[8] Authorities released an excerpt of their interrogation of Trepova, in which Trepova stated that authorities questioned her about giving a sculpture to Fomin, but she did not answer on camera whether she knew the sculpture contained explosives.[9] The range of various official responses is notably disjointed, with a lack of consensus among official Russian sources regarding Trepova’s involvement or association with either Ukrainian special services or Navalny’s Anti-Corruption Fund.

Official Russian responses to Fomin’s death failed to generate a single narrative in the information space and led to disjointed responses from prominent pro-war voices. Several prominent milbloggers and news aggregators fixated on the reported investigation into Daria Trepova and analyzing footage of the lead-up to and aftermath of the explosion.[10] Other milbloggers claimed that the attack was carried out by Ukrainian special services and amplified news of the investigation without offering additional commentary into the situation.[11] The Donetsk People’s Republic (DNR) People’s Militia posted a simple message mourning Fomin without engaging with the Kremlin's informational response.[12] Zaporizhia Oblast occupation deputy Vladimir Rogov claimed that unspecified attackers targeted Fomin because he listened to both the Russian and Ukrainian perspectives, had over 500,000 Telegram subscribers, and effectively organized donation drives for Russian forces.[13] Russian Orthodox Church head Patriarch Kirill connected Fomin’s murder to the ongoing conflict over the Kyiv Pechersk Lavra, despite no obvious connection between the two incidents.[14]

As Russian officials try to galvanize an official narrative around the National Anti-Terrorism Committee’s investigation, Russian milbloggers will likely increasingly criticize the results and conclusions of the investigation, and Fomin’s death is likely to become a major point of information space neuralgia. One Russian milblogger and political analyst overtly criticized the official Russian response to Fomin’s death and noted that Russian officials have likely predetermined the final findings of the investigation.[15] The absence of a coherent narrative in the pro-Russian information space is reminiscent of responses to Ukraine’s successful Kharkiv Oblast counteroffensive in fall 2022, when the Kremlin’s propaganda machine initially fai

As usual, I get only one or two sentences into your posts before I stumble over something so blindingly stupid I have to stop.

Navalny is in prison, last I heard. I doubt he could organize anything.

You're a loser, troll.

Russian Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu justified Russia’s decision to deploy tactical nuclear weapons to Belarus by accusing NATO of intensifying combat training and reconnaissance activities near the Russian and Belarusian borders and accused the West of escalating the war in Ukraine by providing additional military aid to Ukraine on April 4.

Too long a sentence for you to finish reading, Signym? But there isn't even a comma to trip you up and confuse you. A shorter sentence might be just the right length for you to finish:

Shoigu’s reinvigorated nuclear blackmail rhetoric coincides with Finland joining NATO

Finland said the same thing when Stalin attacked it, twice, before WWII began: We are a small country. Where will we bury all the dead Russians?

History lesson: Little Finland brutally slaughtered hundreds of thousands of Russians. They died screaming.

“The Soviet propaganda apparatus continued to crank out shrill, contorted documents attempting to convince whoever was listening that Finland was the real aggressor, that the Kuusinen government was legitimate, and the Mannerheim/Tanner/Ryti regime was enslaving the workers, etc.”
- William R. Trotter, A Frozen Hell: The Russo-Finnish Winter War of 1939-1940

“Incidents of Red aircraft strafing hospitals and hospital trains were so common that the Finns finally painted over any Red Cross insignia that were visible from the air.”
- William R. Trotter, A Frozen Hell: The Russo-Finnish Winter War of 1939-1940

“The Russians' wanton though often ineffectual attacks on civilians generated a wave of moral outrage all over the world. Typical was the reaction of former U.S. president Herbert Hoover, who denounced the Russian air attacks as a throwback to "the morals and butchery of Genghis Khan.”
