Signym and 6ix, what the hell happened to you two to screw you up so completely? ( A long time ago I stopped believing your problems in the real world were caused by the world. Your problems are caused by your flaws. Redesigning the world to your preferred specifications would make everybody else's life worse, including your own.)

20 Days in Mariupol (full documentary) | FRONTLINE and The Associated Press



Ukrainian journalist Mstyslav Chernov and his colleagues risk their lives to document Russia's siege of Mariupol in this FRONTLINE/AP documentary.

Mariupol was the front line, but the people there were cut off and had such a limited perspective — at one point, people didn’t know who to blame for the bombing, Russia or Ukraine.

People would see the press sign on the helmet and would go, “Tell me the news.” You were like a walking radio station in the city, everybody would come and say, “Hey, what’s the news? Is Kyiv still there? What’s with Kherson — I have relatives there.”

At that moment I thought: If this is a bigger story of the city, a big theme of that story would be misinformation, misinterpretation, and isolation.

For me, it’s not only a military siege, but an information siege — and its effect on a modern society. That was an eye-opening experience. In just, let’s say, three, four days, when the city was cut off from all the telephone lines, from the internet, this society just collapsed. I’ve never seen anything like that. People started to panic, to loot. They started to get confused whose fault it is, who’s bombing them.

Never surprising when Russia denies doing what it is doing:
Russia denied on Monday accusations that it was sending migrants to the Finnish border. "We do not accept such accusations," Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters.

Putin aims to "break" NATO. ISW publishes a new report
Story by MCZ | 10:22 AM EST, November 21, 2023

The Institute for the Study of War (ISW) implies in its report that Moscow's hybrid warfare tactics on the Finnish-Russian border may be part of a larger strategy. The think tank suggests that "the objective is to destabilize NATO member states near Russia's borders."

The ISW points out that present tensions between Russia and Finland are predominantly caused by an artificially created migration crisis, likely contrived by Russia at the Finnish border.

In retaliation, Finland chose to shut its border crossings on November 17. Two days later, on November 19, it announced plans to construct fences along its border with Russia. These measures came in response to information from Finnish authorities on November 12 regarding an influx of asylum seekers at the country's eastern border.

ISW Recalls Poland Situation

The Finnish government has accused Russia of engineering this migration crisis. Migrants and refugees reaching the Finnish border are from third countries like Iraq, Syria, Turkey, and Somalia, crossing over from Russia.

The ISW highlights the parallels between the situation at the Finnish-Russian border and the migration crisis at the Polish-Belarusian border in 2021.

In November 2021, thousands of migrants from Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan, and other countries flooded the Polish-Belarusian border, causing a significant humanitarian crisis. Many endured extreme cold weather conditions, living in makeshift camps in the Belarusian forests.

NATO Destabilization and Diversion from Ukraine

European Union officials have claimed that Russia and Belarus had orchestrated this crisis, using migrants as tools in their political pursuit against EU and NATO countries. The ISW underlined that the Kremlin took advantage of this fabricated crisis in 2021 to accuse NATO of aggression towards Belarus.

The think tank's report proposes that the current border dispute between Russia and Finland might be a "reflection of Moscow's strategy to destabilize NATO countries in the area and to "divert attention away from the conflict in Ukraine".

"Putin's intention of instigating a full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022 aimed to fracture NATO – a goal he persists," the ISW report states.

Russia Threatens Finland

Finland became a NATO member on April 4, 2023. On the same day, the Russian Foreign Ministry released a statement indicating that Russia would be "compelled to take retaliatory actions" against Finland.

The ISW report repeats, "The ISW consistently predicts that Putin's intent of instigating a full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022 was to fracture NATO – a target he persists".

I was thinking of a mechanical analogy to 6ix, Signym and the Russians. This is from real life: an axial compressor that is out of balance. It is moving gas but the noise and vibration is worrisome. If the compressor is not shutdown very soon, it will throw a blade, which will cause a cascading failure that destroys everything, including the compressor building. Where is the shutdown button for the Russians? Where is a skilled maintenance crew to disassemble the Russians and fix what is wrong?

Here's a biological analogy to Second.

You're a limp dick, impotent waste of carbon.

Oh wait. That's not an analogy. That's just you.

Go jump off a building and that will fix a lot of problems, including your own.

SECOND, you should have watched Patrick Lancaster. He's a former American sailor turned reporter, who was able to work on the Russian side of the front line, and he interviewed people even as shooting was going on. He pretty much wandered the streets of Mariupol without a Russian "minder" (altho the soldiers might warn him away from a particular street where even I could hear shooting and small explosions) and, as a Russian speaker, he was able to interview people on the spot and gather their opinions and impressions.

I stay informed. YOU stay brainwashed.

US National Security Council Spokesperson John Kirby reported on November 21 that Iran is supplying Russia with glide bombs and that Iran may be preparing to transfer short-range ballistic missiles to Russia.[9] ISW has observed Russian forces increasingly using glide bombs, particularly modified FAB-500, KAB-500, and RPK-500 aerial bombs equipped with glide bomb structures, in the Lyman and Kherson directions.[10] It is unclear whether Kirby meant that Iran is supplying Russia with glide bomb components or with fully constructed glide bombs. The Critical Threats Project (CTP)-ISW’s Iran Update reported on August 14 that Iran produces a variety of glide bombs domestically, such as the Ghaem glide bombs, Yasin long-range glide bombs, Sadid glide bombs, and Balaban glide bombs.[11] Iran commonly uses these bombs with its various drone platforms, likely including the Shahed-131/136 drones that Iran supplies to Russia. A Russian milblogger previously amplified claims that Russian Su-25 aircraft may be compatible with Iranian glide bombs.[12] Iran presented several glide bomb variants at the Russian Army-2023 Forum in Moscow in August 2023 and possibly during Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu’s visit to Tehran in September 2023.[13] Kirby added that Iran also continues to supply Russia with drones and artillery ammunition.[14] Ukrainian Main Military Intelligence Directorate (GUR) Deputy Chief Major General Vadym Skibitskyi stated on November 6 that Iran may continue to send small batches of Shahed-131/136 drones to Russia despite increased Russian efforts to produce Shahed drones domestically and Iran’s fulfillment of its first Shahed supply contracts with Russia.[15] CTP-ISW previously assessed that Iran and Russia may conclude a drone and missile sale agreement following the expiration of UN missile restrictions against Iranian missile and missile-related technology exports on October 18, 2023.[16]

Oh, boo hoo. Big fucking deal.

We, Germany, France, Italy, Poland, Romania, UK, Norway, Denmark, Canada, Sweden, and Finland are supplying Ukraine with missiles, rockets, tanks and other armored vehicles, mines, shells including cluster munitions, etc We even "borrowed" shells from S KOREA and ISRAEL, and pretty much went across the world begging for shells.

What's your point?
