Hey Strongpoint, I'm being asked for a source, where did you find info on that? I can't find anything.

Слава героям.

I wonder if we could supply resources to the Russian partisans at all. Working behind the front lines like that could be very effective.

The closest thing Bay12 has to a flamewar is an argument over philosophy that slowly transitioned to an argument about quantum mechanics.

The trick is to only make predictions semi-seriously.  That way, I don't have a 98% failure rate. I have a 98% sarcasm rate.

Yeah the West should 100% fund and arm any insurgency that appears.

Osama Bin Laden comes to mind when people say things like that.

Fidel Castro is an earlier example, and Vladimir Lenin predates that.

Funding “revolution” comes back to bite you in the ass, was my point.

And I agreed with your point with additional examples.

Unrelated: I think it's HILARIOUS that people think the US isn't already funding dissident Russians, in one way or other. It's sort of the US modus operandi. I mean, I have no evidence or anything, but I know my own country.

Wait a sec...
The NRA did the car bombing.
Turns out NY's Attorney General Leticia James was right about them all along.
LOL.

Not sure why "anti-Putinist Russian" would not be credible, there are millions of them, some on this forum.

Let's be realistic, though. Calling a single assassination the start of a revolution might be overly optimistic.

Not always. It is immoral to not help rebels in this case. I'm fine with taking the risk, I just want to see blood on the Red Square.

And the reason you are wrong is that you don't know what you are actually funding. What if it turns out to be a fake group set up by Putin?

I am not saying to fund them without doing the necessary recon and research, or to fund them right now. I'm thinking if/when the bullets start flying or just before that. Then the risk of it actually being a 5D Chess With Multidimensional Time Travel play is negligible.

Dugin also had a heart attack and is in hospital. :)

Woe to those who make unjust laws, to those who issue oppressive decrees, to deprive the poor of their rights and withhold justice from the oppressed of my people, making widows their prey and robbing the fatherless. What will you do on the day of reckoning, when disaster comes from afar?
