Funny story with her: russians began to idolise her after she went outside her house with a red fabric, somewhat symbolising the union flag, as if she was greeting the occupiers. Later it was found that she did it to save her life and her village, knowing what they did to other cities and villages

⚡️Explosions reported in Transnistria, near Ukraine's border.

Local authorities of Russia’s proxy region in Moldova claimed that the explosions occurred on May 6. According to Ukraine’s intelligence, Russia was behind the false-flag operations in Transnistria in the past weeks.

The Ukrainian Air force is still alive - seen here are two Ukrainian Su-27 striking Russian facilities on the famous Snake Island in the Black Sea, in remarkable footage filmed by a TB-2 drone.

idk why they’re focusing on snake island so much but they seem to be doing a ton of damage there

They want to destroy it likely due to the propaganda value for ukraine @hollow hollow

we're seeing both propaganda and misinformation playing an increasing role in this conflict, on both sides

if only they had a slava-class guided missile cruiser to protect the island with its 64 s300f anti-air missiles 🤔

also speaking of russian ships, i've heard the prevailing theory regarding admiral makarov rn is that it was attack with anti-ship missiles but it shot them down

it would kind of explain why ukraine was so confident about them sinking it when there's no real evidence to back it up

Final bets: how will the Russian victory day parade go this year? I’ll start:

#

-Severely toned down parade with outdated and less equipment
-Nationalistic remarks by Putin
-Russia doubling down on their invasion and not admitting their current defeats
-Some shitty parallel between the Russians with the Red Army and the Ukrainians with the Nazis (as their propaganda has tried to make Ukraine out to be)

hollow hollow
#

my pitch:
-putin claims the “special military operation” is going perfectly despite all evidence pointing to the contrary
-we see a shitload of orange and black ribbons and z symbols, including people arranged in giant z’s
-russia comes up with some excuse for why this year’s parade is mysteriously smaller than it was in years past
-the t-14 breaks down again and has to be towed away (please be true)
-we see some kind of arson, definitively proving that the fires we’ve seen across russia are coordinated
-more nuke threats/claims of superiority over nato

in my final year of school, 2015, we had Lithuanian military come to our school and have their presentation, even show off unloaded weapons which were pretty cool

split aurora
#

the UKs one of the few nations who allow 15 and 16 year old to join the army

#

so they were trying to hit people at those ages

copper monolith

that was after we got conscription reinstated cuz of Russia stealing Crimea, but I was like "lol this is all bullshit Russia isnt bad though the Crimea thing is pretty questionable"

#

god would I join the military now

split aurora
#

The UK has a kinda fucked system

#

when you join the army you have to serve for x years

#

I think its 3 or 4

#

but if you join below 18, that timer only starts when you turn 18

#

so if you join at 15.75, you have 2.25 years plus normal mandatory time

thinking about it, the earliest signs of dementia my grandma had was telling me I should say I'm Ukrainian after being drafted, she's been saying it for like 4 years now, especially now that she's senile

lilac sparrow
# split aurora when you join the army you have to serve for x years

In the us army you serve for a minimum 8 years, most MOS (think of this as jobs) in the army only are a 4 year contract, so you do that job for 4 years and then you are put into reserves for 4 years, my contract was 6 years as I went aviation, if I went infantry or another combat MOS I would only have a 3 year contract

My contract only started when I got to basic however

huh, good to know

Military is better than most think, I’m working with helicopters on a daily basis, most of my pay I can spend however i want, as food and board is covered, they give you a paid vacation day every 12 days, clear cut path for promotions, extra pay for what is essentially a business trip (I got $600 for visiting another state to work on a helicopter for 4 days) I’ve visited more places than the rest of my family.

Only 2 out of the planed 3 T-14 Armatas appeared to take part in the parade. I did notice a distinct lack of wide angle shots showing the T-14s. Appears maybe the camera crews were given orders to not show the fact one was missing.

Dmitri’s refusal to fight highlights some of the military difficulties the Russian army has faced as a result of the Kremlin’s political decision not to formally declare war on Ukraine – preferring instead to describe the invasion, which will soon reach its fourth month, as a “special military operation”.

Under Russian military rules, troops who refuse to fight in Ukraine can face dismissal but cannot be prosecuted, said Mikhail Benyash, a lawyer who has been advising soldiers who choose that option.

Benyash said “hundreds and hundreds” of soldiers had been in touch with his team for advice on how they could avoid being sent to fight. Among them were 12 national guardsmen from Russia’s southern city of Krasnodar who were fired after refusing to go to Ukraine.```

Tanks are vulnerable when a combined arms component is missing or weak. Russia doesn’t have enough infantry to protect its tanks from ATGM teams, and they’re struggling to suppress/destroy Ukrainian artillery that is locating them with commercial UAVs.

Police in Vladivostok are now literally taking away the children of mothers suspected of antiwar vandalism. Olga Bratash’s kids are in state custody after she was interrogated for allegedly spray-painting a local WWII monument. https://t.co/hHzD5o24jg

Here’s the official report from the Investigative Committee. No mention of taking away this woman’s children. (Alas, her dreadlocks won’t win her sympathy with many Americans.) https://t.co/m6J7ZMVGer

sad but not too surprising

taking children is a fairly common tactic of intimidation by authoritarian regimes

Sometimes ignorance really is bliss

in the last 30mins without actively searching I've seen

revenge bombing in ukraine
horrific mass shooting in America
videos of apartheid oppression in Israel
The baby formula crisis getting worse in the US, and capitalists defending that "feeding babies just isn't profitable"

#

its important to stay aware but also depressing

Good lord

The world really is an unjust place

trans women are being blamed in the uk for the oestrogen shortage

#

despite cis women using oestrogen outnumbering trans women using it by more then 15:1
(cis women often take Oestrogen during menopause to reduce hormonal inbalance)

Seems like a scapegoat situation
