Russo-Ukrainian War 2014-23 and Invasion

[DGuller]

Many people have believed pretty much from the beginning that apartment building bombings in Russia in 1999 were a false flag operation.  It surely didn't help that FSB agents were caught planting not-a-bomb in the basement of a fourth apartment building.  I wonder if this episode of false flag attack planning will revive the discussion about that murky episode in Russian history that propelled Putin to power.

Apparently Denmark phased out the use of stinger missiles some years back, and as a consequence has an unspecified amount of them in storage. Some were sold to Latvia in 2018, but there are apparently still quite a few left. Presently there are discussions about selling them to Ukraine.

Do they have to shout at each other to be able to listen, or is an underling/translator running from one side of the table to the other for the to communicate?

That's almost enough room to set up the combined 1985 WW3 series.

I also really enjoyed Orban and Putin "toasting" champagne a massive distance apart from each other
