You know it's bad when RT suspend him.

Maybe the US and Russia can meet in Munich to discuss the future of Ukraine. Would that make these guys happy?"In a letter led by Rep. Pramila Jayapal, the 30 Democrats call on Biden to pair the unprecedented economic and military support the U.S. is providing Ukraine with a “diplomatic push, redoubling efforts to seek a realistic framework for a ceasefire.”

2nd time he’s been kicked off the air. First time? For coming out as gay and defending gay rights on air.
I’m not saying his comments are pre-planned, but don’t mistake RT’s stance and the very loud, faux outrage of high profile Russian figures as anything other than the obvious attempt to court positive attention from pro-Russian westerners. We’ve literally watched Simonyan et al say just as horrific things on a weekly basis.
Very much this. The only ceasefire will come after Crimea falls back into Ukrainian hands after almost 9 years.Maybe the US and Russia can meet in Munich to discuss the future of Ukraine. Would that make these guys happy?
Any chance for a diplomatic solution ended when Russia annexed more Ukrainian territory and ensured that it would never return the territory to Ukraine.
Useful idiots?Very much this. The only ceasefire will come after Crimea falls back into Ukrainian hands after almost 9 years.
Not often I say this, but those (30) Democrats can feck right off. Idiots.

Two more arrested Saturday, charged with illegal photography. https://www.nrk.no/nordland/to-russere-pagrepet-i-nordland-1.16150870There's been some talk in here about alleged spying in Norway, with some arrests made. Drones and the like. I don't think much is known about those cases yet, but one person arrested in Svalbard is Andrey Yakunin, son of Vladimir Yakunin who has pretty close ties to Putin (Wiki link). https://www.vg.no/nyheter/utenriks/...-er-en-del-av-putins-absolutt-naermeste-krets
What the cases involving drones mean is hard to say, because with the sanctions it's illegal no matter how benign the filming is so it can be anything. In this specific instance it's also a bit more unclear about the legalities with Svalbard having some laws about discrimination based on nationality that may or may not be relevant here. More on that: https://www.nrk.no/tromsogfinnmark/angriper-droneforbudet_-_-bryter-mot-svalbardtraktaten-1.16145691
Both articles in Norwegian, so you'll have to use a translator if you're interested in details.
Shocking, modern missile works better than vacuum tube 70s rust bucket. Although for the times it was a really capable system and range wise it still kind of is. But everything Russian made suffers from significant reliability issues.Ukraine needs more modern air defense systems...
According to a statement from Ukraine government IRIS-T has a 90% success rate. That's much higher than what S-300 manages so far.

It was stupid to release that letter in the very first place.Smart move.
I expect they weren't paying any attention and assumed all the liberals were anti-war. It's a move that usually looks good to their constituents.It was stupid to release that letter in the very first place.
There are anti-war types on the left who this sort of thing may have been for. Oddly enough, there seems to be a degree of unanimity on the far left and far right about Ukraine.It was stupid to release that letter in the very first place.

The letter calls for continued millitary assistance and an Ukrainian victory. Hardly anti war.I expect they weren't paying any attention and assumed all the liberals were anti-war. It's a move that usually looks good to their constituents.
Yes, but you understand what I mean, right? Liberals tend to be anti-war, suggesting a cease fire will appeal to liberals in 19/20 cases. I suspect they didn't realize how it would land, or they wouldn't have said it, considering they immediately changed their minds.The letter calls for continued millitary assistance and an Ukrainian victory. Hardly anti war.
Some proper finger wagging in this video.Could have been for the other thread in general forum but anyway Tik Tok is not good for your health:

Its a good point that often gets glossed over when assessing Russia's chances of actually winning the war. They can't win it on conventional terms because they no longer have the troops or logistics to do so. This is why we're seeing the drum beat about the possibility of a WMD or dirty bomb.Tweet

Absolutely. It’s stunning, blinding ignorance by Jayapal.There's literally zero percent chance staff just released something like that months after the fact without consulting the candidate.
They should feel lucky that the ballot can't be changed now because they both deserve to be primaried and booted out of office in the next election cycle after such silly stunt.Jayapal and Khana have just about destroyed their credibility by this stunt.

Yet I still see a number of people losing their shit over the threat or still siding with Russia like the gullible fools they (99% hard "conservatives") are. Russia just can't afford to walk into that territory now matter how much drum beat they make because 1) we already mentioned how little tactical value there is in using anything nuclear and 2) any use of a dirty bomb would trigger unprecedented actions from other nations to punish Russia even harder.Its a good point that often gets glossed over when assessing Russia's chances of actually winning the war.
