There are five bridges today but only two remain from the original seven.
I didn’t know that. Feels a shame that the original seven aren’t there. Since it isn’t even called Konigsberg anymore, someone should build a new Konigsberg to fit the problem.
It means Emmanuel Kant isn’t dead yet, although I would describe his fate as being worse than death.
The Kremlin keeps saying they aren’t going to invade. What is their story going to be after they do?
“Oops, we tripped. Sorry 'bout that. Well, since we’re here…”
It was a one-in-a-million chance doc…
It could claim that any incursion isn’t an invasion but rather a liberation, the way the Chinese say they liberated Tibet. Another possibility is that the Russia hasn’t said it wouldn’t invade, it has said it had no plans to invade. It would then claim that it was forced into changing plans by claiming some form of fictitious aggression.
As AA stated, the narrative from the Kremlin is that they have no plans
to invade.
- Could mean that they don’t intend to do so, but they still could if “provoked”
- Could mean that they do intend to invade, but they do not have any tactical plans (yet) developed to accomplish that act
- Could be either of the above along with
We'll say whatever it takes to maintain international face for as long as possible, but we don't care about international face at the end of the proverbial day and we'll just do whatever we want.
Yeah, my money is on Door #3.
Who’s ready for WWIII?
Remember that time 3 years ago we wanted to get that hunter guy so we cleverly suspended the ukraine’s military aid? I bet we could get that hunter guy twice as good right now.
Sounds familiar
As someone who has all of my teeth I probably would have opposed entry as well.
I probably would have gotten interned because I look like them orientals
Or I would have wound up in that Asian battalion and got blowed up
Hey it may not be a very “fun” way to spend your Summers, but getting interned is your first step towards career success!
How else can one become a helmsman for a Constitution Class starship?
Russia is engaging in DDOS attacks on Ukranian interests, running propaganda alleging the Ukraine military and civilians are engaging in atrocities, and firing on Ukranian troops and border towns trying to provoke a response to “justify” attacking.
The groundwork for the invasion is well underway. The actual push will start in days, probably with longer-range missile strikes to loosen up defenses on the interior while troops on the border hammer at Ukranian positions.
The only question at this point is what, if anything, Europe and the U.S. do in response.

The false flags that justify an invasion are underway.
The nukes are getting tested.
