From the Article.

On the campaign trail, he found himself in hot water for an Instagram post from 2017 showing him visiting Adolf Hitler's vacation house in Germany and describing it as a "bucket list" item.

In a way, I find it funny to a degree as Madison is disabled. Hitler wasn't too cool with them as well, and saw them as imperfections to the Aryan race, in which they were murdered as well. Obviously though he is Diet Nazi, thinking it's just some boys' club until he gets jumped by those he thinks he is a part of.

There was some sort of co-ordination or intelligence sharing between Russia and China - China asked Russia to delay their invasion of Ukraine until after the Olympics and then you had that leaked report of talking points instructing the Chinese state media on how to report their coverage, particularly that they would need Russian support for the “Taiwan issue” (not sure if that part was debunked). So I see this as plausible. The level of economic sanctions made them fall back for sure if that was the case, China isn’t in a position to risk that - for their goals they are better off waiting.

if both of them were smart they should have planned to do it the same day/week.

Putin is stupid to though if he wanted to be successful he could have done it during the peak of the pandemic when every country was prioritizing COVID

Not to mention having the worst American President ever in Trump who was always kissing his ass.

Which makes you wonder if those reports about Syrians and Russian eastern fleet being brought in, plus Belarus soldiers what exactly is the 190,000?

190,000 isn't enough to occupy a major country like Ukraine. That's been known from the beginning. Just look at USA in Iraq #'s.

Putin believed his own hype and thought he'd get away with a compliant pseudo-occupation, like in Crimea. Now that he's stuck in the shyt AND taking losses, he realizes he needs more forces. But at the same time he's trying to maintain the narrative that it's just a "military action" and not full-scale war, and the more Russian forces he brings into battle the harder that is (plus even Russian forces have become a source of unwanted information getting to Russian people). That's why he's looking to bring in Syrians or whoever else he can to supplement his pre-committed troops.

You're correct. :snoop:


Only thing that worries me is that the big ICBMs get involved. A cornered cat is the most dangerous, and while eventually he'd get his shyt pushed in, it wouldn't be until after Putin's launched attacks at all of the West's major population centers. I fully believe this clown will destroy the world before he surrenders or eats crow.
imagine waking up to news that Berlin, Paris and Warsaw got nuked.
this is terrifying.

Y'all got me wondering how many points of sabotage exist for a nuclear launch system.

Not foreign obviously, I'm wondering how many Russian engineers/scientists/technicians/military personnel/etc. have access to the systems involved and could potentially disable them preemptively. At least disable the one they have closest access to.

Can you disconnect "the button"? (or whatever the initial triggering mechanism is). If you do disable, is there some sort of alert or alarm that goes off? Can you re-rig that shyt to circumvent the warning system and make shyt look normal? How many people are watching all this and could you get away with it without being caught immediately? How much cover would you need from how many people to get away with it? And if the button is disabled, how long would it take a determined button-pushed to either rewire it or trigger the missile in a different fashion?

Could you instead disable something between the "button" and the ICBM? All the same other questions.

Can you disable the ICBM itself? Same follow-up questions.

Or can you disable the nuke itself?

Which of those is easiest to fukk with? Does it depend on who you are? Which would be best to fukk with - is it best to disable the nuke (maybe they even fire the missile and it only becomes a slightly dirty bomb, Putin takes all the risk with little of the reward), or is it best to disable missiles (they switch out to another missile, how many do they have and how long does it take) or is it best to disable the firing mechanism (how tough to fix and can they fire the missiles an alternate way)?


And does anyone with access have the guts to try this shyt and risk execution if they're caught?

Can you disable the electrical ne
