Almost everything I put out is a bit.
Through sarcasm, criticism, wit.

Life's but a joke and I'm always laughing, if not chuckling.

Unfortunately it's what happens when they have more money than they should have: They live in la-la land and are unfit to represent anyone but themselves — even that part I'm unsure of, because who in their sane mind would represent themselves as as a case study in deliberate mental decline?

Because why would you — to use an analogy — as a mechanic, wreck your custmer's car? You're out of a client and out of a car. If anything you get sent to court for destroying private property and abusing your client's trust.

That is what should happen if it was russia. I have a strong hunch it was.

And to make it abundantly clear:

During wartime the Nordstream 1 is a perfectly legitimate target, much like the gas and petrol stations in russia are.

It's part of their economic revenue which in turn goes into the war effort — legitimate.

However if it was russia, then it is a crime. Sabotage.

That tracks.
Germany issued the arrest warrants and has no tangible or concrete evidence to be persecuting these specific Ukrainians, be it in Italy or Poland.

It rather feels like the Prosecutors in Germany are russian puppets going with Smersh's batshit insane story.

Agreed.
russia by itself, sans China, North Korea, Iran, any other soviet-era tendrils would have collapsed at the end of the 2nd year, beginning of 3rd year.
Economy, military, society.
To avoid large mobilisation, it's been stopgaps all the way down.

Basically pawned his future off to "allies".

Right?
As if he'd ever have people who genuinely want to be near him!

He has paid for every bit of company he's ever gotten— wife included.

Looks like junior is following his papa's footsteps, namely in never being able to connect one thing with another.

Blowing up boats with people in them is —totally— comparable to his 4 friends that may or may not exist losing children that also may or may not exist.

Moron Jr. right here, folks!

A belief system developed around public statements, not unlike when "dear dictator" would address the public.
People have forgotten that it is a civic duty to tune into addresses but it is also a civic obligation to NOT worship them.

The death of nuance is the beginning of populism.

Most of the time, Italy does not report its supply. It's an old-fashioned European tradition/mindset but it works.

Germany also reported 3,000 helmets before the invasion and yet you see PzF-3 first day. So, it wasn't just helmets, and it also didn't and doesn't need to be publicly known.

Money also doesn't portray quality.
You can get high quality stuff for dirt cheap. The US was always being statistically creative when it announced millions of in materiel and it was just a few Patriot missiles.

Avalonne @avalonne.bsky.social · 1d

But more than all that— we don't need to telegraph to the world our every move.

A lack of public scrutiny in this matter makes deliveries faster, more efficient and of higher possible payload.

So to all those that always complained about "slow"? You made it slow by demanding to know everything.

Avalonne @avalonne.bsky.social · 1d

Because honestly, the public at large is ignorant.
They think soldiers they think kill.

Soldiers do so much more. They build bridges, provide disaster relief, extremely expert level electrotechnical, radiological, explosive support.

They literally bring electricity where there's none.

We also gone back to how Europe always did things before Biden and Trump dragged it into a competition for who gives most monetary value: MILITARY MATTERS ARE NOT FOR PUBLIC EYES

The public at large does not need to know and scrutinise everything we do regarding military aid, operations, etc

They won't.
Rich oligarchs get more money for basically free? They'll pocket it.

This is where the Kleptocratic Oligarchy that Putin build reveals itself completely uninterested in his goals, unhelpful to him and eager to pocket as much money as it can.

Avalonne @avalonne.bsky.social · 2d

It won't have a successful campaign against NATO/Europe.
But that's the thing: it doesn't need to.
russia's goal hasn't been expansion from the moment they started reducing towns to rubble. What are they capturing? Ruins?

What we should be cautious is they're using the exact same playbook of 2014

Avalonne @avalonne.bsky.social · 2d

The thing is russia has enmeshed itself into every society with its oligarchs, routed money through institutions, killed important escapees of his regime (Skripal in the UK, the refugee russian pilot in Spain).

It won't go quietly. It will make it all our problem. It already has.
