Tellus about opponents of putin who fall out of windows?

 

[barreness]

Where's the pictures of putin and Stalin?

Neither were US puppets and one died in office so far

You are aware of course of the millions of people who died in russia under Stalin aren't you?

Yes. Are you aware of the millions that died under British colonial rule in India and Iran?

Are opponents of putin still falling out of windows?

Of course, will Zelensky kill himself with two gunshots to the back of the head is the question

Old mate Prig and his deputy got AA'd, most just go quietly into the night

Damn that 2022 peace deal looking decent

Yeah, sterling job by the all mighty Russian army.

One year on and they still haven’t captured a town the size of Sunbury whilst having their troops an equipment decimated.

Why oh why didn’t the Ukrainians just cave in and accept a peace deal that was never going to happen.

Aeroflot CEO hacked by Ukraine - was using Windows XP and had a weak password:

https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/russia-says-aeroflot-has-recovered-cyberattack-dozens-more-flights-cancelled-2025-07-29/

Sounds like this isn't the only problem that the Aeroflot CEO is going to have with Windows after this highly embarrassing debacle.

There was widespread protests over the 2022 mobilisation, and many arrests tbf

The Kremlin did change policy over it though, went to a volunteer cash based incentives, limited protests since.
Ukraine still stealing men off the street

Keep up the psyops matey

USS Macon (ZRS-5) - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

In the 1930's the US Navy operated flying aircraft carriers, airships that carried small fighters.

China has developed the largest drone carrier in the world — and it's getting ready for takeoff

The world’s largest drone "mothership" is getting ready for deployment in June. It’s designed to carry and launch up to 100 drones in a swarm, including kamikaze drones.

www.livescience.com

China has developed a large drone mothership to carry many smaller drones.

https://www.twz.com/air/balloon-lau...long-range-kamikaze-drones-emerges-in-ukraine

Ukraine is developing drone carrying aerostats (tethered balloons) that carry sensors and a drone, either FPV or interceptor.

At present these aerostats are quite small and tethered. Maybe we will see in the future large blimps carrying a a large number of interceptor drones. One advantage of putting the interceptor drones on larger blimps is the interceptor drone does not have to use its own power to climb to height, they therefore can be smaller and cheaper. Offset by the cost of the mothership blimp, but blimps are cheap and they are unlikely to be in any danger.

How Putin gets his fighters:
(And of course planning to mobilise Ukrainian prisoners of war to the very front line as shields and fodder.
Plus the Ukrainian children he is indoctrinating and planning to send to the front
Very upstanding tactics , old Puti…).

Returning wounded soldiers to combat duty before they have fully recovered. Some Russian soldiers have reportedly complained that they are being forced to return to the front before their medical treatments are finished. CNN reported that Ukrainian drone operators have released video footage appearing to show Russian soldiers on crutches in combat zones.

Military recruiters also visit Russia’s prisons with the offer of full pardons for those who survive a combat tour. Ukraine’s Foreign Intelligence Service says Russia’s ministry of defence has recruited an estimated 180,000 soldiers using this method, which was introduced by Wagner Group chief Yevgeny Prigozhin in the summer of 2022.

Some of these former prisoners being recruited are reported to be women, although estimates of their numbers are hard to find. The active recruitment of women by the Russian military to serve in Ukraine appears to have been kept quiet because it contradicts the Kremlin’s message that military service and the war in Ukraine in particular are the business of men and provide opportunities for Russian men to demonstrate their masculinity.

Russia is now increasingly turning to its allies North Korea and China to provide it with the soldiers that it needs on the front lines. Earlier this year Ukraine’s president Volodymyr Zelensky claimed that at least 155 Chinese troops are fighting for Russia in Ukraine, while North Korea is believed to have suffered approximately 5,000 casualties among the soldiers that Pyongyang has sent to Russia.

Putin forced to send wounded back to fight and offer huge military salaries as Russia suffers a million casualties

Russia has made advances into eastern Ukraine, but the human cost is an estimated 53 casualties per square kilometre seized.

On par with the Kremlins nuclear war threats that never come.

Yes. Are you aware of the millions that died under British colonial rule in India and Iran?

And in other places like where my ancestors were transported from, Ireland. But Britain does not do colonialism anymore, a thing of the distant past. Russia on the other hand still does. Judging people of the past by the standards of today is silly, but judging nations of today by the standards of today is another matter. Clearly Russia did not get the memo that nowadays colonialism is considered to be bad, as they are trying to colonize Ukraine.

From NOEL Reports TG however as I'm out on my phone I can't provide the link.

Ukrainian intelligence has hacked the Russian-installed “Crimean government” servers and uncovered evidence of mass abductions of children from occupied territories. Thousands of names and their relocation sites have been obtained and handed over to investigators.

The russian apologists on here won't like that, and will be in denial, as they hate the truth coming out about mother russia.

Someone mentioned how occupied cities have devolved into a wasteland. Just wanted to insert how this isn't just a war thing. For a long time Novosibirsk have suffered from a garbage pileup on the streets due to endless conflict between local government and whichever cronyism contract was on place for maintaining collection. And in both Krasnoyarsk and Samara the condition of roads is a constant meme on VK.

I was truly shocked to once ask someone in Altay if they still use coal-fired heating (i mean, shovelling coal into the home's furnace) and hear them defend the practice

Their town is struggling to get water nowadays too, and that's nowhere near the war.

It's actually near the Denisova caves. But I got blanked when asking about it because it conflicts with their mediaeval religious beliefs.

Beyond words.

Especially one ardent Russian supporter here who thinks that abducted Ukrainian children is just a huge beat up.
