WWIII Return of the Ruskie



Putin caught in a lie... Zelenskyy next level trolling that Ross would be proud if.

Ukraine has so far been dominating the information war, but here’s Russia’s entry to convince everyone they are not, in fact, the baddies:

 
I'm telling you.. the Z is becoming a fascist symbol.

z = victory apparently in Russian.

Interesting thread on the lack of logistics in the Russian army. Backs up the earlier point about the military vehicles having shit tyres.

 
I've seen the rumours of 'Putin has cancer' grow.

Apparently both UK and US spies are confident he's immucomprimised, which is why he's keeping everyone about 100ft from him.

I suppose the fear is that, Vlad the Mad re-strategises and starts using weapons that don’t require long supply chains or proximity to be effective.

Supply chain have generally been the undoing of many a ground war - but it seems to be in our nature to overstretch and want things we can’t have.

Actually no, no one knows what Z stands for – the origin are the markings on many of the invading vehicles to prevent friendly fire, but there are other letters in use too, like V, O and X. These are Latin letters not used in the Russian alphabet. But yeah, Russians are now trying to turn Z into some kind of symbol of patriotism, even though no one knows what the hell it means. Witness Maria Butina (the former American gun lobby honeypot who was jailed and expelled from the States for spying and is now a member of the Russian Duma) showing how to draw it on a lapel:

I agree with you on the origins. But Russia have turned it into a 'symbol' which is spreading.

Even their spokespeople are peddling it means victory.

Well, maybe they are now trying to redefine it as a symbol of victory, but as a native Russian speaker I can assure you a Latin Z has no built-in meaning for us. V is a fairly well-known symbol for victory (among more Westernized generation), but they chose to go with Z as the symbol.

I know.. perhaps you could confirm what some have said though. That 3 is the equivalent Z in the Cryllic alphabet, which in lower case is sometimes switched to z

And victory starts with the 3 letter.

That sounds like a very tenuous connection; in fact I still don't get it. "В" (pronounced "V") is indeed the 3rd letter, but Victory in Russian is ПОБЕДА, which doesn't include that letter – so you need to translate it to English to make the connection with a letter of the Russian alphabet that supposedly has a connection with a number that looks (not really) like Z. That's way too many steps and neither step makes much sense.

Ah.. I just googled further. I missed a part.

Their 'official' explanation is it means 'for the victory' which does apparently use the 3 as the first letter?

It's all propaganda bullshit anyway.

Russian Defense Ministry equivocally replied
The Russian Defense Ministry issued a statement saying that Z means victory and V means power of truth. Apart from this, the meaning of O, X and A is not given. However, the meaning of Z and V given by the Russian Defense Ministry is also questionable. Now military experts have claimed that these letters have been written according to the respective areas of the Russian army. This identifies the trains to which command they belong to.

I'm only repeating what I've read bud. If I type for the victory into Google translate it comes up with за победу / za pobedu

I agree it's highly highly almost certainly likely, its morphed from its original meaning.
 
In case some of you don't know Putin's original crime – an FSB false flag attack blowing up 4 buildings in Russia in 1999 to build support for the 2nd Chechen war and the case for his presidency:

Bit of history on zelenskiy how him and his mates campaigned on the promise of ridding the country of oligarchs and tax dodgers.. while owning multi million pound off shore accounts.

He handed them over to his mate a few weeks before becoming president.
Also the link with Ihor Kolomoisky who was targeted by Trump and Rudy to snitch on Biden and his dealings in Ukraine.
 
Oliver Bullough book Moneyland is worth a read/listen
There was a section about the corruption in Ukraine whereby parents would end up paying off doctors to help treat their kids.

He also talks loads about the Russians buying their way through London and the west as a means of laundering their cash.

Aside from the other madness super rich go to to hide their wealth.
