I really hope this is true

:What the feck?
Of course it probably is, but it's reality for Russians because that's the only side to the story they hear.
I saw someone that just posted Putin's side of the story. And when you listen to it, it kinda makes sense. What doesn't is that Russia has been fueling the separatist movement all along, probably hijacked the results of the 2014 referendum, that the separatists are the one who broke the cease fire etc.
JFK actually bungled that as well, according to recent analysis of the matter.
Yawn.
That perspective would apply, if he already wouldn't have NATO states literally on their doorstep in Baltics. I think most have already accepted, that everything coming out of his mouth is horseshit. Whether he's invaded to keep Ukraine allied, divide NATO or keep his seat amid poor economical state of the country, it's widely accepted, that he's not going to stop here, just like he didn't stop in Georgia (even though he was VP at the time).
This is a day and age when, more than ever, people aren’t taking things at face value and I think for many Westerners there was always a question of whether Putin (and by extension ‘Russia’) was quite as deceptive and dangerous as he was portrayed in the media. Putin then directly lied to everyone (these are just troop movements, we are not preparing to invade etc.) and cemented that image. It was going to be a hard fight for Russian propaganda but Putin has made it almost completely ineffective.
Looks like a thermobaric bomb. Something close to the US's MOAB (Mother of all Bombs).

Ukrainian farmer steals APC. Russians drive behind it slowly, laughing at the temerity of the tractor driver. I don't know if I want that to be true...
I think it's both. He needs Ukraine to be non Nato to keep any enemy military as far away from Moscow as possible and also wants to get hold of Ukraines petrol supplies and water supply to Cremia.

Some Indian students allege that they went to Poland border, but were assaulted and kicked by Ukranian border force and not allowed to cross the border. Women were pulled by hair and kicked. For them it seems like only some are being allowed to go through.

feck me.
I'm no bomb expert, but shit, that doesn't seem like a thermobaric bomb at all. The t-bomb has a damage radius of 300 km
What exactly is that?
it looks like something hitting a chemical factory....
Not 300km.
Indeed. It really was an incredibly tense time and he was being given highly conflicting information by his senior advisers.
But never confuse facts from a good story and Kennedy was pretty happy to take the credit.
The last time the nuclear clock was that close to 12 o'clock....
Most likely it was an ammo depot or something like what happened in Beirut?
I'm with @Droid_Repairs
Possibly a refinery or an munitions shelter going up.
I don't think it's what you're worried it is
You'd think the mobile he was using to film the explosion would be fried in that scenario.
Hope not - I’d guess a fuel depot being hit or something.
Look also the Azov Battalion.
According to the linked article, then 300km. As I said. I'm no expert.
Doomsday Clock has been closer to midnight for some time.
How can you say that was a russian? It is not a military vehicle driving behind the tractor as far as I can see.
Holy shit thats a thermobaric bomb.
Same laugh...
Ammo depot, apparently
That or their weapons storage.
300m not 300km
300m probably
Feck dude, I'm just quoting the article, "The Russian arsenal includes a powerful non-nuclear 44 ton TNT bomb that has the capacity to cause widespread damage in a 300-kilometre radius."
That would be a 600 km blast. 300 meters is probably what they are trying to say.
The article does say 300km, to be fair
Regardless of whether invasion at this time was the right call or if he's taking advantage of for other motives, point remains, imo he clearly has a fair and genuine security concern. I think anyone dismissing that is being disingenuous or clearly has not watched his response in the video.
Fair enough. Article is massively flawed.
Look at that bomb it's like scenes from a video game. Human race the most obnoxious thing on this planet where animals can live in peace for millions of years but humans can't for 6 months. Feels like this entire Ukraine situation is what will lead to WW3.
Please try to alarm people when we have no way of knowing what kind of explosion it is but a "big one". There's a lot of things that could explode on the ground and give this kind of blast, like nitrogen used to make fertilizer.
You got skills if you can tell nationality by laughter... One person translated: "our boys are towing it all the way to the fecking scrap yard. it'll be worth good money as scrap metal. that's just how they do"
You are making no sense here..
