Storytime.

At least the Ukrainian defenders where nice enough to make it a little bit easier for the Russian commander to kill them. God bless.

Also holy shit Wikipedia was fast.

Yo dog. Tell us a good story plz.
One time 4 guys went for a smoke. The power the ship generated was so much, it could be sold to a city. Anyways, these power cables like 5" around are all going from the ship to shore right through the smoke pit. Four guys, all khakis go to have a smoke, im standing in unrep locker and boom, this weird sound happens. A flash of light over my shoulder, and the 4 guys are engulfed in a ball of purple fire.

The power connection from the ship to the cable had arced and caught the air on fire. then that ball of superheated plasma air expanded and expanded, right down the lungs of those 4 guys. Their skin was burned off to badly, it hung from them like rags. They were so burned, they walked to medical because they had no nerves left. Couldnt feel it.


Then, 2 weeks later, we got an "award" from the command for having the most DUI's on the entire west coast of the USA. We were awarded harsher punishments, penalties, and a 10% increase in the fines and punishment for every person. So everytime, the next guy lost more money and was punished even harder. Then the next guy was punished even harder, on and on.

So he made a lot of promises to a lot former Commies who were busy stealing all the stuff that used to belong to 'the people'. He said you can keep stealing stuff it's fine. Putin is real crafty though, so he started slowly replacing those guys with his former KGB buddies and other apparatchiks. This is because the oligarchs are only loyal to their money and Putin knows that. They will support him as long as the good times roll.

The people close to him now are people personally loyal to him. If he falls they will lose everything. He put some of his former 'friends' in jail or otherwise harassed them so they know who the boss is now.

He still depends on the oligarchs though, because they control the media.

That's the hope behind the sanctions. It's why we haven't sanctioned Putin personally. Because he doesn't own anything, has no money. Officially. Can't squeeze what you can't find. But the oligarchs are exposed. They use banks, they're in the monetary system.
Ya. I think it may just help actually. Thanks for explaining some.

Things are going bad for Putin.

China just weighed in. Urges negotiation.

situation in eastern Ukraine has undergone rapid changes... (and) China supports Russia and Ukraine to resolve the issue through negotiation".
Two days ago China's position was that the US was a "culprit" in "pouring oil on the flame" on the conflict.

China also said that Taiwan and Ukraine situations are totally separate and different. This allows them to pressure Putin to settle in the Ukraine without appearing hypocritical.

I can't imagine. I've visited a few museum ships. They are like living spirits with their own souls. Even the smells got to me (in a good way). Like from another dimension. Or otherworld. Like they weren't even directly on or in normal earth. Hard to explain. If there's a ship heaven, they're going. Gotta go. Deserve a reward.

The Ukrainians are giving out automatic weapons to people with face tattoos.

FACE TATTOOS!

You literally just have to speak Ukrainian and have a face tattoo and they hand you a Kalashnikov and you're good to go.

I'm pretty sure I could pass for some kind of retarded Ukrainian, just need some ink and a plane ticket and I guess a car rental.

AND

Russian TV Uses Tucker Carlson and Tulsi Gabbard to Sell Putin’s War

And it makes sense why alt right and Qanon support Russia, after all they need that campaign funding like they got funneled from Russia through the NRA to the RNC.

Well we will probably see paid Russian propaganda trolls start to dry up when these sanctions have been out a bit longer. This will mean less propaganda pieces to your Facebook news feed you rely on Eilzondo. Ouch!
The Intercept ..... lol
