Absolutely, it's just a laughable waste of resources if they actually follow through with it. It further cements the idea that Russia's entire war strategy at this point is to thrash around like an angry child and hope that everyone eventually gives in to what they want.
Yeah, it takes forever to grow a forest. It's economic warfare.
Wait you want to ban the number one source of news of this war outside of Ukraine borders used by Ukraine and pretty much every relative journalist and politician? Do you just want this thread closed at that point?
I can all but guarantee that Putin floated this as a spiteful idea, and one of his lickspittles told him it'd get done "for sure". In reality they'll chop down a few trees - enough to stage some footage for the domestic news - and then report back that the work was completed.
"Private, take this chainsaw to the tree line over there and start cutting. We'll cover you from here."
I said none of that, rjinaz. C'mon man.
The tweet you mentioned comes directly from bloomberg terminal
Thank you for letting me know.
I get where you are coming from, but most tweets that post Bloomberg Terminal headlines are made by bots. Also, since the article is only on the terminal no links for it can be shared till another outlet writes an article of their own citing Bloomberg.
To be clear, since this comes up a lot, "WALTER BLOOMBERG" is a bot that simply tweets the Bloomberg headline ticker. That's why there's no check mark.
Ok maybe I'm just an old man yelling at clouds. I'll take that. That just seems like it shouldn't be shared just yet then... but maybe I'm living in the past which I'm willing to accept lol
Noted, friend.
Probably more like Putin send in Blue collar Russians to die for propaganda purposes.

There are plenty of valid reasons why a military may want to deforest an area both offensively and defensively. Their reason "to sell the wood to fund the army" is laughable and one can't possibly take it seriously. Even if Russia had some sweet deal to sell wood to a country for a huge profit to help fund the war... Russia has tons of forest in their own country they can cut down faster, cheaper, and safer then wood they'd have to steal from Ukraine.
Got it. It's been pointed out to me now. Each distinct tweet should make that known. I'm guessing they will end up implementing that info going forward. Like I said, it's a peeve of mine. I appreciate the info anyway tho.
They probably realized their original goals are unachievable at this point so i'd reckon they want the complete and utter destruction of the ukrainian economy, military and infrastructure to force ukraine into giving up sizeable pieces of the east and south

In my case I wasn't referencing the Bloomberg terminal thing. I know that's a bot. My concern is more generally around the stock that people put in Twitter talking heads, but that's probably a conversation for another time.
