that could be real, or it could be a false front for either side, or...who knows? until someone comes out with some kind of substantial proof, one side will blame the other, and the third side will keep telling them they're both wrong, and claiming responsibility...

Total false flag. The first name that came to mind was Putin. No Ukraine vibration at all.

I still think they fucked up when they let Turkey into Nato. They don't really belong there yet.

It was geopolitically necessary. I’ll suffer their nonsense now because they gave us the lever we needed to keep 1962 from a full test of strategic doctrine. The thermonukes not expended then buy a lot of leeway with me.

That said, bargain with the devil and behold the result.

Can you imagine having to choose which oligarch you're going to off then having to come up with a believable story?


It's getting tough..I expect Putins Chef will be next.

Izvestia: Russian aviation risks being left without the main aircraft
Small aviation may face a shortage of aircraft. The Ministry of Industry and Trade has postponed funding for the replacement of the American engine and propeller on the main Russian TVS-2MS aircraft - a modern modification of the An-2 "maize" machine - with a Russian analogue until the aircraft is certified. Izvestia writes about this with reference to the press service of the ministry.

“The Ministry of Industry and Trade has decided to postpone the issue of financing the reengineering of American units for the TVS-2MS aircraft until it is certified,” the material says. Earlier, the aircraft manufacturer, the Novosibirsk enterprise Rusaviaprom, asked the government for support for these developments in the amount of 9 billion rubles.

According to the publication, the company has already produced 24 TVS-2MS aircraft, 17 of them are in operation and operate mainly in Siberia and the Far East for the transportation of passengers and cargo to hard-to-reach areas. “There is no replacement for them on the Russian market now. The Ministry of Industry and Trade expects that the development of an alternative - the nine-seater LMS-901 Baikal - will be completed in 2023, and the first deliveries will begin only in 2024, ”the authors write.

Earlier, the Ural Civil Aviation Plant (UZGA) received a certificate from the Federal Air Transport Agency allowing the development of spare parts for foreign aircraft . The presence of this document allows you to engage in import substitution of interior parts for salons, armchairs and kitchen equipment. First of all, it is planned to produce components for the western Airbus and Boeing aircraft that have passed into the use of the Russian Federation .

Zelensky promises response after at least 25 dead after Russian strike on Ukraine Independence Day
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Wednesday vowed to make Russia “bear responsibility” for a rocket attack levied against a Ukrainian train station in Chaplyne that killed 22 people during the country’s Independence Day.

“Chaplyne is our pain today,” Zelensky said in his evening address. “As of this moment, there are 22 dead, five of them burned in the car, an 11-year-old teenager died, a Russian missile destroyed his house.”

Zelensky had warned that Russia might step up its attacks on Wednesday during the holiday, which also marked six months since Russia invaded Ukraine, saying “something particularly cruel” might happen.

“Search and rescue operations at the railway station will continue,” Zelensky said in his evening address.
“We will definitely make the occupiers bear responsibility for everything they have done,” he continued. And we will certainly drive the invaders out of our land. Not a single stain of this evil will remain in our free Ukraine.”

Authorities in Kyiv banned large gatherings during Independence Day out of fear of Russian attacks.

Air raid sirens sounded during the day, and the population mostly laid low, but crowds gathered on a main street in the city to see a display of heavily damaged tanks, armored personnel carriers and rocket launchers.

“The occupier believed that in a few days he would be on parade in our capital’s downtown,” Zelensky said earlier on Wednesday in an address marking Independence Day.

“Today, you can see this ‘parade’ on Khreshchatyk,” Zelensky added. “The proof that enemy equipment can appear in the center of Kyiv only in such form. Burnt, wrecked and destroyed.”

President Biden marked Ukraine’s holiday, which celebrates the country’s independence from the Soviet Union in 1991, by pledging an additional roughly $3 billion security assistance package
The package, which includes six National Advanced Surface-to-Air Missile Systems and laser-guided rocket systems, is the single largest U.S. assistance measure to Ukraine since Russia invaded in February.

“They have stood resolute and strong in the face of Russia’s full scale invasion of Ukraine. And today is not only a celebration of the past, but a resounding affirmation that Ukraine proudly remains — and will remain — a sovereign and independent nation,” Biden said on Wednesday.

don't even bother to answer if all you're going to do is tell me what the plan is, how we're bleeding them dry...bleeding them dry for fucking what? at some point, we're going to have to go in and take the nukes...they can't be left to putin, or his successors, or we'll end up here again...and again, and again...till they're exterminated. why motherfucking wait till the Ukrainians have been exterminated as well?
i've felt like we're taking the cowards way out on this since day one...but America has always talked good shit, while watching people die for us, it seems to be what we do, unless they don't have any nuclear weapons, then we're ok just going in and wiping out whoever opposes us...so we're cowardly hypocrites...using a smaller nation to take out an enemy....using UP a smaller nation...and they're thanking us for the opportunity...god damn we're good at manipulating the rest of the world

Gotta keep that one going so all the n American security contractors/ mercenaries/soldiers of fortune can keep getting paid since they can't get it from Afghanistan anymore. They'll wash the tax base out in Ukraine for 25 more years just like Afghanistan

Reality sucks. Just think Chernobyl. Speaking of,

International nuclear agency getting wider powers to probe attacks on Ukraine power plant
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has been given additional authority to investigate the situation at a nuclear power plant that Russia has taken over during its invasion of Ukraine.

Officials from the IAEA, which partners with more than a dozen organizations in the United Nations, will visit the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant in southern Ukraine soon, as world leaders have expressed concerns about the plant’s stability, Bloomberg reported Thursday.

Two diplomats with knowledge of the visit told Bloomberg that the delegation will include security and safety authorities along with officials responsible for accounting for nuclear materials at the plant. Agency officials had previously only intended to ensure that uranium-rich stockpiles of material were not missing amid the six-month-long conflict.

The safety and security officials will allow the agency to possibly perform a forensic evaluation of shelling that has occurred at the plant, Bloomberg reported. This evaluation could be used to hold attackers to the plant responsible for the damage it has received.

President Biden discussed the need to protect the plant on a call on Sunday with United Kingdom Prime Minister Boris Johnson, French President Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz.

Reuters reported last week that Macron said Russian President Vladimir Putin agreed to allow IAEA officials to visit the plant.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has warned that a “catastrophe” could happen if the plant is not properly defended, saying that any “radiation incident” could affect members of the European Union and other nearby and even more distant countries.

Bloomberg reported that the IAEA wants the visit to happen before Sept. 5, when a two-week international mission was already planned to look into the safety systems of the plant. The mission, which was scheduled before the war began six months ago, would be the first safety evaluation at the plant in 16 years.
