I mean the game “Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon” predicted the Russian-Georgian-war of 2008. The first mission even takes place in “South Ossetia”. It’s as if Putin was thinking to himself: I’m gonna make myself a Tom Clany-villain.

Does anyone have a link to the news story? Can’t find anything unfortunately.

Russia withdrawing from the 2+4 treaty would be another dog whistle to the German right. In the 2+4 treaty, Germany dropped its claims on its former eastern territories in Silesia, Pommerania and Prussia. Thus Russia would signal towards the German far right: “We got your back when you want to have your former territories back. All you have to do is accept our claims in eastern Europe.”

Yeah, it’s just another step in the playbook from “Foundations of Geopolitics”.

In case anyone wondered: Phalcon is short for Phallus Container.

It’s a pre-series Ka-60 Kasatka with inflight-refueling capability.

Wow, designing a WW1-tank during the WW2-era is kind of like using a T-55 in a modern war!

John Oliver: Today the German Navy shot down a Houthi-drone with one missile, except it wasn’t a Houthi-drone, but it was an American drone, except the drone wasn’t shot down because the missile failed, except it wasn’t one missile that failed, but it was two missiles that failed!

But instead he spent his time talking about a perverse Russian history that some how blames Poland for Hitler’s aggression.

This was a message towards German fascists; he’s dangling the Königsberg-carrot (and other former German territories in the east) in front of them. He’d really like Germany to be on his side.

It becomes more clear what Russian strategy is when you consider Medvedev’s interview where he speaks about Lviv and he mentions how Poland could support an Ukrainian remnant with Lviv as its capitol. Complete and utter bullshit, the message is simply “Poland and Lviv”.

And I’m betting that Putin promised Orban he gets the south-western parts of Ukraine.

That’s not a dog, that’s a viper… which makes this a snake under a plane.

Can someone explain to me why this shootdown is even news instead of a statistic?

It’s a military airplane shot down in a shooting war. Does Russia now call the UN security council when Ukraine destroys a transport truck? Why is the media constantly falling for Russia’s bullshit behaviour?
