    I’d love to know if all these drone strikes and explosions deep into Russian territory are some spy shit going down or partisans or whatever. It’s going to make for some interesting documentaries in years to come I think

    That was an impressive one. Not just blocking the “special military operation is contained” narrative like the other deep strikes, but also hitting high tech war supplies.

    I just read the military optics company was renting warehouse space to a pyrotechnics company. So, this is either a successful operation or a horrible reminder not to put tactical magnifying glasses next to a giant pile of fireworks when the sun is out.

    Maybe this is what Russians get for giving Putin free reign for a quarter of a century.

    Don’t want to see anyone get hurt, but FFS the Russian people just went along with it when Putin came to power and steadily gained ever more control of the government. The Russian people could have stopped this 10, 15, 20 years ago but didn’t. Now they have an entrenched mad man in there who controls everything, has gotten them into a pointless war in Ukraine, and clearly shows no sign of stepping down.

    Attacks on Russian soil have only started.

      Russians have tried to get him out of office but then they get arrested, radiation poisoning or suicided.

        They’ve had protests, sure, and individuals have tried to go up against him, but never in the masses needed to overthrow his government.

        Bill was President up until 2001 and Putin gained power only 2 years earlier. At the time there was no reason not to support him. He was a freely elected leader. But that was 2 decades ago and a whole lot of things changed since then.

    This is exceptionally interesting considering the fact that Ukraine has made great use of western-supplied night vision against Russian forces. It seems logical that they would want to deny such an advantage to their enemies.

      Will someone please think about the водка! There were likely several dozens thousands of bottles that sacrificed everything during this event.
