Russian Invasion of Ukraine

So, it seems the interview dropped last night. Tucker was deer-in-the-headlights as he got absolutely bodied by Putin, lmao. At one point he also implied that Tucker was primarily an entertainer and not a serious journalist, which of course is one of the few true things Putin said, but Tucker was forced to laugh about it.

Other lowlights of Putin's historical revisionist rambling, which apparently went on for so long at times that it started to feel like an episode of Drunk History without the acting, included blaming Poland for Hitler's 1939 invasion of the Second Republic.

Hitler to Poland: "Anschluss?"
Poland: "Nah"

*Nazis invade*

Hitler: "LOOK WHAT YOU MADE ME DO!!"
 
Hopefully this is not a sign of problems in the UA command.

In a significant military leadership reshuffle, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has appointed Colonel-General Oleksandr Syrskyi as the new Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, replacing General Valeriy Zaluzhnyi. The change was officially communicated during Zelenskyy’s evening address on 8 February.

This announcement follows weeks of rumors regarding Zaluzhnyi’s potential dismissal and alleged tensions between Zelenskyy and Zaluzhnyi.

ISW reports on Russian mill blogger and political apparatus reaction to Tucker Carlson interview.

The Russian online community noted that Russian President Vladimir Putin did not offer any new information in his interview with American media personality Tucker Carlson and simply repeated longstanding Kremlin talking points about Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine for American audiences. Prominent Russian milbloggers claimed that Putin did not say anything new and framed the interview as a Russian attempt to infiltrate Western mainstream media rather than to make any fundamentally new arguments or to address Russian audiences.[1] One milblogger claimed that Putin’s interview aimed to promote Russian foreign policy to Americans who are actively engaged on social media and explained Putin’s repetition of tired Kremlin talking points as a summary of Russia’s justifications for its invasion of Ukraine for American voters.[2] Sources close to the Russian Presidential Administration similarly told Russian opposition outlet Meduza that Putin’s interview was not designed for a Russian audience and that the Kremlin intended to generate informational effects and hysteria in the West.[3] One of Meduza’s interlocutors added that the interview’s secondary objective was to show Russian domestic audiences that Putin can still shape global discourse based on the popularity of the interview but did not offer an assessment of Putin’s success in this regard.

Kremlin sources focused on presenting the interview as a massively successful and popular Russian effort to shape the information environment in the West and claimed that the interview demonstrated that Putin is an influential world leader. Kremlin Spokesperson Dmitry Peskov claimed that American interest in Putin’s interview was “undeniable” and that the Kremlin is interested in the reaction to the interview abroad as it continues to prioritize observing the domestic response to the interview.[4] Russian occupation officials celebrated a claim that the interview surpassed 60 million views and claimed that the world is increasingly interested in Putin’s opinion and his ”truths.”[5]

Russian Security Council Deputy Chairperson Dmitry Medvedev noted that Putin told the Western world in the most thorough and detailed way why Ukraine did not exist, does not exist, and will not exist.[6]Medvedev’s description of Putin’s interview further demonstrates that Russia has not abandoned its maximalist goals of eradicating Ukrainian statehood and that Putin does not intend to negotiate with Ukraine on any terms short of these goals.

When the history of the war is written and all of Russia's human rights violations are known, the Right will be known as useful idiots who aided crimes against humanity, if not outright collaborators and allies, just as in WW2.

The newspapers owned by these six media moguls reached a combined audience of approximately 65 million daily readers in Britain and the United States. They regularly paid handsome fees to fascist leaders looking to promote their ideas to a global audience. William Randolph Hearst, for example, paid Hitler and other top Nazis an average of $1,500 per article — or $20,000 in today’s money.

“By giving fascist dictators access to the American public and allowing them to present themselves as peace-loving champions of order, Hearst helped to normalize [fascism] for his 30 million readers,” says Olmsted. “These press barons did not just sell the news, they constructed it and lied as they reported events so they could make a lot of money and gain political influence, too.”

The events of Kristallnacht on November 9, 1938, saw violent anti-Jewish pogroms break out across Germany, Austria and the Sudetenland region of Czechoslovakia. An article that appeared in the Daily Express shortly afterward sided with the Nazi aggressors. The headline of the article read “Looting Mobs Defy Goebbels,” and it went on to imply that German leaders were trying to stop the brutality of the anti-Jewish violence, rather than inciting it. “Take counsel in the age-old saying which has now indeed become commonplace: Least said, soonest mended,” the newspaper told its readers.

The Daily Express also sugar-coated an infamous speech Hitler gave in January 1939 in which he threatened to annihilate the Jews of Europe. The paper chose to report only parts of the speech, insinuating that it was, in fact, an olive branch offering of peace from Hitler to the rest of Europe. “Now we know that Hitler agrees with the Daily Express,” the editorial told its readers. “[Hitler] says that he expects there will peace for a long time.”

Russia is preparing for a military confrontation with the West within the next decade and could be deterred by a counter buildup of armed forces, Estonia's Foreign Intelligence Service said on February 13. A growing number of Western officials have warned of a military threat from Russia to countries along the eastern flank of NATO, calling for Europe to get prepared by rearming. Intelligence service chief Kaupo Rosin said the assessment was based on Russian plans to double the number of forces stationed along its border with NATO members Finland and the Baltic States of Estonia, Lithuania, and Latvia.

More success in the fight against Nazis over there, while we fight ours over here:

Ukrainian forces successfully sank another Russian Black Sea Fleet (BSF) landing ship in the Black Sea off the southern coast of occupied Crimea on the night of February 13 to 14. The Ukrainian Main Military Intelligence Directorate (GUR) published footage on February 14 showing Ukrainian maritime drones striking the Caesar Kunikov Ropucha-class landing ship off the coast of occupied Alupka, Crimea. The GUR reported that maritime drone strikes caused the ship to sink and stated that Russian search and rescue operations were not successful. The GUR stated that the Caesar Kunikov was the largest amphibious landing ship of its project 775 type. Ukrainian forces have destroyed or damaged at least five BSF landing ships since the Russian full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. Ukrainian Navy Spokesperson Captain Third Rank Dmytro Pletenchuk stated that only five of 13 BSF landing ships that Russia had at the start of the full-scale invasion remain “in service” and that “four ships are under repair, four are destroyed, and five are still in the ranks.”

Doesn't matter what he says. Nothing of that is actually true
I just don't understand how so many people can believe in that so obvious propaganda. Do they have even brain inside their heads?

Svalbard is the site of Pyramiden, which is the shooting location of the terrible but atmospheric movie Arctic Void.
