With all the new research coming out, I don't think he has much to say in his field anymore either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all need at least one friend in our lives who can look us in the eye and say "good God, we're stealing blood now!" V-lad doesn't have that friend. And that's its own tragedy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gorn Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 An interesting speculation about yesterday's fires in Russia: that chemical plant is a place where you'd manufacture chemical weapons, and that institute is a place where you'd design warheads to carry them. It's worth remembering that Russia doesn't actually have sizeable quantities of them, since they publicly destroyed their stock and production facilities in 2017. The conclusion is that someone wants to prevent Putin from using chemical weapons. That someone could be a rogue faction of Russian FSB, Ukrainian intelligence, or Western intelligence services. Or maybe these are just two accidental unconnected fires, and I've been going down some weird Twitter rabbit holes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The relatives are making some noise: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/apr/18/moskva-warship-need-answers-relatives-missing-crew-russia Wasn't there this morning again a Russian site 'accidentally' publishing the real losses, this time with more than 20.500 dead or missing, among them it said about the Moskva 116 dead and more than 100 more "missing": Meanwhile I erased that forum where I kept getting into arguments with 'pacifists' and Chinese agents from my bookmarks because it keeps wasting my time. When I write elaborate posts about the political and geostrategic situation we are facing and how I weigh my position and then get shouted down with "I STILL WAIT FOR ACTUAL ARGUMENTS! NO TO WEAPONS! YES TO NEGOTIATIONS!" for the xth time, then it's entirely pointless trying to reason with these same three users who drone on and on and on about how Putin will definitely win and we just make the Ukrainians suffer by delaying the inevitable.
