Interesting......... right handed people stir clockwise. Being left handed, I stir counter-clockwise. Once in a while, I stir clockwise. Witches stir the pot with both hands. Left hand on top or bottom? Stop to change directions........ not a good idea, depending on speed of fluid flow............. yeah. What direction does the universe spin? We all know why water drains in one direction, but how about at the poles and equator?

Bored today, I am.

A lot of the land that Putin has been holding and is planning to annex is being taken back by Ukraine. They've reclaimed the most land since the invasion began.


The mobilization is fucking them over, as it basically finally admitted to the Russian people that yes, we are invading Ukraine. Obviously a lot of normal people are going to be very against that. That is to be expected, but it hasn't really helped them any, making it not worthwhile.

There's been reports of more Russian soldiers surrendering en masse, including many who haven't even been drafted yet, contacting them about the possibility of immediate surrender.

Hope Putin rots in hell with his buddy Hitler.

SkinnyPupp 10-05-2022 11:33 PM

Nice footage of an actual surrender taking place


Russian soldiers have been posting on Telegram, saying they are no longer even being fed, and have to buy their own food somehow. Most don't have guns or armor, and when they do have guns they aren't accounted for, they're just handed over.

Some are saying it's not long before a full retreat, some even think it's happening now.

I don't know, but if they're not being fed that's pretty much retreat mode already

And here's what it looked like to participate in the referrendum


Badhobz 10-06-2022 07:30 AM

logistics and supplies wins wars. shocking how badly the russians are mangling this.

whitev70r 10-06-2022 08:06 AM

I hope Putin is hated forever in the long term Russian history for this.

westopher 10-06-2022 08:19 AM

It will be much like the other horrible leaders in history. He will be revered by the bottom feeders, just like Hitler, Kim Jong Il, Saddam, etc.
It’s even easier now for the trash to find popularity because it’s easier for people to find others with their stupid, shitty, fucked up views.

Badhobz 10-06-2022 08:31 AM

I’m surprised people don’t add trump to this list. He’s just as bad. Kinda set the stage for a lot of this insanity. Same with ex Boris Johnson and his brexit bullshit.

whitev70r 10-06-2022 09:03 AM

He's bad but at least he didn't invade Mexico and displaced millions of people ... and the damage he did was already somewhat lessened by the people around him who had some intelligence and conscience.

SkinnyPupp 10-06-2022 09:13 AM

If Trump had been re-elected, Ukraine would be fucked. Or at least not as in whatever good shape they're in right now. If anything he might have put sanctions on countries trying to help them, or fuck, maybe even help Russia with the invasion.

He really does belong there with Hitler and Putin. Just that, as much as nobody wants to admit, USA is a decent enough country that he was never able to reach their levels of depravity.

westopher 10-06-2022 09:21 AM

Trump was definitely held back by his country in terms of damage he was allowed to do. It does say something about the checks and balances in place in a well developed modern democracy.
The truth is though, for him it was never about pure malice. It was about disregard for anyone for financial gain. With people like Hitler, putin, etc. it’s about unbridled hatred for humans.

There is also the possibility that if Trump was re-elected that Putin wouldn't of been stupid enough to start a war with Ukraine as well. There are always what ifs when it comes to situations like this.

Ukraine's Commander in Chief of the army just started a Twitter account today

Wat? Explain, because that comment defies even the slightest bit of common sense.

Trump was literally talking about removing the US from NATO... And may have actually accomplished that had he been elected for a second term.

Word going around is that Putin would have invaded sooner, but COVID got in the way and delayed his plans.

Badhobz 10-06-2022 04:54 PM

Putin's dream of Ukraine is the same as pooh bear's dream of Taiwan. NATO or no NATO, US or no US, both these fuckers cant be persuaded to leave shit well enough alone. They have that manifest destiny mentality.

Finally, someone more bored than me.

I'm so bored, I'm binge watching Stargate SG-1 on Space Channel. I cannot believe I'm doing it, but recognizing landmarks in and around Vancouver/BC is actually interesting. Not.

So many storylines and dialogue stolen/borrowed from Star Trek. Some are downright mocking Star Trek. Gamekeeper, for example. "I am the keeper of what is now and what was and what...........". A few episodes before that, they actually had a mirror that looked a lot like the portal that McCoy goes through.

SkinnyPupp 10-06-2022 09:59 PM

Either through panic or sheer incompetence (or both), Russia has been simultaneously losing their tanks, while feeding Ukraine with a fleet. OVER HALF of Ukraine's fleet is captured Russian tanks LUL

This report from British intelligence is just another example of how poorly trained the Russian soldiers are in this war.

You would think that the Russian army trains its soldiers on destroying military hardware before the enemy get its hands on their gear. :facepalm:

Wow, Russia just lost respect from every military power on the planet. It's not even due to poor strategy. If you are going to invade, you better be damn prepared to succeed. Now they look like a bunch of fools. If it weren't for the fact they have nuclear weapons, they would be the laughing stock amongst first world nations.

Badhobz 10-07-2022 04:14 PM

all their dudes lack experience. the last major conflict that their ground forces took part in was Chechnya and the time before that was Afghanistan. Given how all their soldiers are of the instagram generation, these dudes are more interested in staying alive so they can take selfies instead of shooting Ukrainians.
