Russia's War Against Ukraine

[ArizonaTank]

oh they're going nuclear again.... must be that time of the week again.

It seems the political entertainers on Russian talking head TV seem to fetishize nuking Britain. Just seems strange that I hear more "nuke the UK" vs. "nuke the USA."

Way older historical beefs I would guess.

Even when they were allies they didn't like each other.

Charge of the nuclear brigade?

I looked into the statement....yep  "Anglo-Saxons". 

That's the big Russian driving conspiracy theory right now.  Nikolai Patrushev, Putin's intelligence and others have made official policy that the world's issues go back to an Anglo-Saxon conspiracy that is being organized for their own domination of the world.  The Anglo-Saxons are, essentially, barbarians that have manipulated Germany and made the US their instrument for their vile quest for world domination. 

Of course the center of his axis of evil is London.  Ukraine is their latest target to install an Anglo-Saxon dominated pro-Nazi regime.

Pretty much just take 30's anti-Jewish rhetoric and replace it with Anglo Saxons.  Putin has grown to buy into this pretty heavily.

And then the usual news digest:

Last night's 24 hour news digest:

[FarAway Sooner]

Given the tone of this guy's content, wouldn't the Russians have lost the war within about two weeks?  I'll freely admit to not watching them, but the headlines...  Sheesh!

[bobarossa]

And who watches a 2+ hour show every day? Especially when there's no hot women in it!

[JasonPratt]

The shows are sometimes more like 10 minutes, but the digests tend to run 1.5 hours. (Minus a 12 minute countdown in front.) The rest of the time are the hosts discussing questions from the chat.

I tend to watch (or listen to) them on 2x speed and skip out when Zelensky's speech for the day starts.

I've noted the clickbaity titles, before, too.

  Didn't they already lose it in the first few hours?  Last February?

[SirAndrewD]

Haha, I was about to say.  I half expect the next Enforcer video to be titled "Ukrainians reach Red Square" and it be about some Uk protesters getting arrested at the Kremlin. 

Still I do sometimes watch his videos. 

I like Denys Davydov's videos myself.  He also does some clickbait titles but he's an easy digest while cooking dinner.

[Dammit Carl!]

And who watches a 2+ hour show every day? Especially when there's no hot women in it!

While not a "visual," thing, long-form podcasts are my jam and no one does them like Dan Carlin.  2+ hours in one chapter of a multi-part series?  Yes, please!

(Drachinfel's YouTube stuff - when he's doing naval deep dives - is my next go-to for such things)

Yep, i watch him, too!  :bd:
