10 years of war... I forgot how peace feels. I have no hope left to live long enough to see it again. It is something for the next generations... should we survive.

My biggest hope is to live long enough to witness war coming to Moscow be it a civil war, someone's nuke, or an invasion of brain-eating aliens

Ten years? Honestly, it looks like instead of angrily posting on forums you could happily live out your last, because you have no concerns in the world beyond someone, somewhere waging a war.

*scratches his head in confusion* This one is a weird judgment of my character

Yes ten, exactly ten. With the last two being especially... intense. Or did you want to say that If I am not in a trench somewhere I am not exactly at war? It isn't how it works.

Also, that message has like zero anger in it. I am just... so tired of this bloody bullshit. Not that I am somehow unique. After all, there are many places in the world that know no peace for far longer than a decade and had it worse than Ukraine. Even past generations of Ukrainians had it much worse (but it is ongoing, we may reach their level soon...)

Or maybe you found anger in my desire to see war in Moscow? I think you misunderstand something. I have no need to wish war in Moscow, I am sure that it is coming one way or another. Logic of history dictates (at least how I see it) that, a society like the current Russian one can't end in any other way but with a bloody war that will either transform it or destroy it. I wish to witness the beginning of it.

As for your brilliant "just relax and enjoy the rest of your life." suggestion. It is not as easy as you think. But your assumption that I "have no concerns in the world beyond someone, somewhere waging a war" is so amusingly groundless. I am enjoying what I have and a gloomy vision of the future makes you value what you still have more, not less.

Speaking of anger

This crap does make me angry. It looks designed to make Ukrainians angry playing on certain elements of Ukrainian culture. It reeks of Russian-funded provocation...

https://www.understandingwar.org/backgrounder/russian-offensive-campaign-assessment-february-14-2024

The Ukrainian Main Military Intelligence Directorate (GUR) reported on February 15 that unspecified Russian actors have started the active phase of the “Perun” information operation aimed at promoting pro-Kremlin positions in foreign media.[98] The GUR reported that Russia plans promote pro-Russian positions on the war in Ukraine through foreign journalists, media personalities, and bloggers.

EDIT: I didn't read what was in the twitter link. What I posted above is an observation in general of something I read previously in the ISW series.

Within a day of being created, Yulia Navalnaya's X account has been suspended. It has been replaced with a message saying the account violated X's rules.

EDIT: X now says the suspension was an error of the automatic defense system of the platform. The account has been unsuspended.

A brand new account that gets a huge number of subscriptions from Russia should be suspicious for an automated system.

US-Russian dual citizen arrested for treason, accused of collecting funds for Ukraine 

Seriously, if you managed to flee Russia don't ever come back.

The Russian helicopter pilot that deserted and flew his helicopter to Ukraine has been murdered in Spain. His body waas found by his ex-wife, riddled with bullets.

Even if you do flee Russia, get a new identity and an new life, keep looking over your shoulders.

Yeah that's why I gave up resistance (not that I did anything notable really...)

I want to remain a nobody, so that when I leave they won't clap me.

DUBAI, Feb 21 (Reuters) - Iran has provided Russia with a large number of powerful surface-to-surface ballistic missiles, six sources told Reuters, deepening the military cooperation between the two U.S.-sanctioned countries.

Iran's provision of around 400 missiles includes many from the Fateh-110 family of short-range ballistic weapons, such as the Zolfaghar, three Iranian sources said. This road-mobile missile is capable of striking targets at a distance of between 300 and 700 km


Wonderful...
