Speaking of Russia being Russia - the UK's official Russian Embassy twitter account, everyone:



Best defence of it I've seen so far is that "it's a reference to his coke habit". You know, the one Russia tried to fake evidence of and everyone laughed at how bad an attempt it was.

Also, I'm pretty sure doing coke doesn't give you a huge nose. Potentially one huge nostril, but not a huge nose.

"We are running out of professional soldiers"
"Mobilise the civvies"
"But what about the communal heating engineers"
"Did I fucking stutter??"

Two months later - thread:

Ukraine reported that they're in the final stages of testing a home-grown drone with a range of 1000km. Within a matter of hours, an explosion was reported at Russia’s Engels Air Base destroying 2 Tu-95’s. That's 600km from the nearest Ukrainian-held territory.

Sounds like a very successful test....

I'm sure that's just a coincidence!

I wouldn’t bank on it. They surprised everyone with their naval drone.

Nothing spurs on invention like war

Oh no, what a shame

It's really not a good time to be a wealthy Russian.

They should consider running some educational videos on "window safety if you are a wealthy oligarch who opposes the war" in Russia, it's getting to be quite the problem over there!

I wonder if they’re actually forced or whether it’s suggested they fall or face something much nastier

They aren't going to be strolling around without 4 large bodyguards either, I wonder if they all fall out the windows at the same time?

Russia has said a new year missile attack that killed at least 89 Russian soldiers happened because troops were using their mobile phones.


Seems a strange admission by Russia

He’s pushing the blame back onto the victims and their families for breaking the rules.

Follow the rules.

Ah yes, the old your sons didn’t die because I threw them into my own vanity war, they died because it’s their fault

Didnt think of it like that, so obvious now you’ve pointed it out.

The 4G/5G haters were right all along. It does kill people.
