It's all doctored footage of a hypothetical Russian assault on Paris.

are you joking? it's a metaphor using special effects to illustrate what the people in kyiv are going through
wtf...
Will be the next tweet about how disabled, jews, liberals, communists and democratic socialists aren't german ?
Honestly, what is that sh*t.
But it seems like Sumy and Chernihiv are encircled and their siege (ala Mariupol) will start soon. Situation is still very bad and I hope Ukrainian reinforcements will come soon. (Not talking about East and South where situation is even worse, but Ukrainians are fighting like lions!)
he clearly is pointing out who matters to him even if he doesn't say it
Of course not but I'd not heard anything since they said it'd open on Wednesday.
Yeah, I hadn't heard any announcements either, but it's easy for stuff like that to get lost in the signal to noise ratio.
let's not badmouth all 30 somethings with explicitly paid for russian brides who all bailed on him
Some interesting tidbits about the foreign legion in this article (from finnish public service yle, in swedish). Based on interview with (one of) their press representatives who is norwegian.
Många nordbor vill ansluta sig till den ukrainska armén: "Finländarna vet att rysk imperialism inte tar slut av sig själv" (Från 2022)
52 olika nationaliteter deltar på Ukrainas sida.svenska.yle.fi
"52 nationalities"
"most are from the baltic countries and central europe"
"20% from 4 nordic countries" (I'm assuming this means 🇸🇪🇫🇮🇳🇴🇩🇰)
"Finland has its own war history with Russia and I know that motivates many of the finnish soldiers. They know russian imperialism doesn't end by itself, but that it has to be stopped."
Yeah I've interviews from volunteers in Nordic/Eastern Europe saying if Putin isn't stopped here, he would go after their country next. Heroes all
It's so hard to read the situation at the moment, it goes from being hopeful one moment to despairing depressing the next
I am sure there is no check involved. They have some dirt on him( Probably planted by themselves) and he'll do anything for them free of charge.
It's honestly likely something as simple as there is always money to be made in being a vocal contrarian even if you're spouting nonsense.
I wonder if we'll ever find out how much Compromat Putin has on the GoP.
I get that Tucker ruffles a lot of feathers, but wouldn't it be be better to move the discussion to a separate thread, considered the volume of Tucker discussion on the last two pages.
Yup. People who know Tucker have said it's just a game to him and he is playing a character and think this is all just a blast. Why wouldn't he, he's rich as hell from arich as hell family.
I'm sure there are more anti-Ukraine folks out there, the problem for Tucker is that they're tankies.
UA reporting that Volnovakha has been largely levelled, with most of the residents already evacuated.
If there was a move to push the occupiers back in that region, that would be good; however, as long as they can fire on the road from Mariupol to the north, the city will remain functionally besieged.
Hope that it is true. People at Mariupol need all the help that they can get.
Awesome!
I lol at the joke but this is not entirely accurate. There is some horseshoe theory in play though.
Yes please
Quite the backfire all this is having on Russia hahah
Our uni, University of Eastern Finland also has a spot for at least 20 students from Ukraine. Our faculty staff also helped one sociology professor escape Kharkiv and she is now here in Joensuu. Our faculty is a research institute pretty much focused on Eastern Europe so there is a lot we can do for the people there.
Quite many Finns in social media have said that every tank destroyed by Finnish anti-tank weapons in Ukraine is one less tank we have to deal in our border. From what I have heard some of the Russian regiments that are normally placed near the Finnish border have taken a beating in Ukraine.

Yeah depends if they broke a line where the Russian rear is exposed and they need to move artillery on that road. Have to watch more for news but supposedly even pro Russian telegram users are mentioning Ukraine made some sort of successful attack in the region.
I'm simply playing devil's advocate but I think we'd be going down a very dangerous road when we allow the state to moderate who can and can't have a voice. It's not where it begins but where it ends. Especially when you may well have Donald "fake news folks" Trump back in the game in 2024.
FOX should obviously be making better decisions about who they give a platform to though.

I mean, have you seen some of the bullshit self-described "Socialists" have posted in this very forum?
Official Staff Communication
So, this thread isn't about Tucker but about the situation on the ground in Ukraine. If you'd like to talk about Tucker's bullshit, please make a new thread. We shouldn't let this thread get bogged down with his nonsense when there's already so much going on.
I'm monitoring official sources, not seeing any confirmations either. Hopefully we get an update in the HQ midnight brief in 2.5 hours.
they should be sending this food/care packages to ukrainian refugees
That's why I mentioned horseshoe theory. Without a doubt there are plenty of bad actors all around.
Typically we have just pointed out blatant propaganda within the thread so at what point is it not appropriate? Not sure it is threadworthy either and we don't have a propaganda OT but certainly seems worth it to recognize this issue.
I got no problems with people talking about it in here, but it's getting to the point where it risks drowning other stuff out. Him being an asshole is also newsworthy enough to warrant it's own thread.
I really hope it's true and that they manage to open up a corridor or even partially lift the siege. It would likely be a BIG turning point in Ukraine's favor.
Because it sadly won't be easy with the metric fuckton of artillery Russia has across their border and I assume they have similarly strong static anti-air defences there as they do on Crimea, so there won't be much air support for the Ukrainians either (except maybe the odd Bayraktar strike because the Russians seem to have massive problems defending against them).
Well, given how many supplies the Russian army is losing, they're at least going to Ukrainians.
Yeah, it's just a bummer that the number of Kool-aid drinkers is even that high. And that the cable news channel of choice for Republicans platforms someone so prominently for them.
Looking at videos from Mariupol, Russia is really going for the Grozny/Aleppo approach there. A russian speaking city with almost half the population being ethnic Russians. And they expected to install a puppet government after this. Generations of Ukranians are going to remember what Russians did after the war.
