but they got NIMBY’d by property owners who wanted a bigger setback

What kinda property owners? Do you happen to have a news link or some such? Were those landowners or what?

said Russian forces were not mingling with U.S. troops

Why would they?

You mean like a false target? Pretty sure ICBMs at least have those already, specifically to ensure payload is not intercepted

If only. But methinks a drone is a more difficult target than people trying to hide from them

Conversely - those FPVs and quads with thermals that drop grenades are a pretty bad news for the proletariat

So who’s growing the wheat? As I understand it, it’s an ongoing practice for over a decade. So someone is growing wheat every year only for the US military to swoop in and harvest it? Or do they ambush trucks with already harvested wheat? Article doesn’t seem to mention the hows, focusing on oil. But oil is a bit different from wheat

I agree. It is time we talk about fall of capitalist system in Russia which putin represents and establishing socialist republic

Different situations, imo. For one, Germany after ww2 benefited immensely from the western propaganda machine, whitewashing it, painting USSR as worse, etc. Additionally, it could be argued Germans never had such a terrible reputation to begin with. Compared to the notably more diverse Russia, which is being slanted as “the other”

Repeal the ban!

How so?

just a shitty ad.

Many things are. That’s superstructure with capitalist basis for ya!

Do try to read a bit more about Dubrovka at least. The terrorists there had multiple bombs and not only have refused negotiations - they gunned down the police officer who went to negotiate and offered to take place of the hostage

There isn’t even such thing as “the spetznaz”. It’s just a generic term in Russian - there’s police спецназ, army спецназ, спецназ GRU. It’s just another case of “spooky foreign word”.

Also still waiting for these dummies to learn OsNaz also exist

This hurts my eyes

They do it already

Yes. So would our homegrown libs. In fact I would imagine the internet to become unusable (more so than currently) for months afterwards

who are often from affluent backgrounds

More reason to ask why CPC isn’t cracking down harder on their local bourgeoisie

try taking out more transport and infrastructure links, destroy rail at Ukraine’s borders, take out rail bridges to force troop movements by road

Military might want to do that, it might be sensible. But the bourgeoisie running the country won’t let them. Same reason the oil and gas and ammonia pipes are still operational

If I get drone bombed I’ll call you from the other side

Not like other members of NATO are going to physically stop them or condemn them for it obviously but it’s not under the banner of it.

Doubt this could be happening without the blessing of the boss. The fact it’s “not under nato banner” means little - it’s the same attempt at “plausible deniability” as everything else. Oh sure NATO isn’t directly involved in the war, they’re just supplying weapons, munitions, logistics, training, intelligence data, weapon operators. But suuure, they’re not involved directly. Same shit here
