A Russian war propagandist who called for the destruction of Ukraine was killed in a bomb attack in St Petersburg.
Video shows the moment pro-Putin cheerleader Vladlen Tatarsky, whose real name is Maxim Fomin, was handed a statuette of himself by an unnamed woman that was believed to have contained the explosive just minutes before he was blown to bits at the political event in the cafe.
-snip-
It is not known if the woman who handed him the statue, which Russian media said was a gold-coloured likeness of Tatarskiy and contained 200g of TNT, was aware of its contents.
(Excerpt) Read more at dailymail.co.uk ...
Tatarsky worked as a coal miner before starting a furniture business. When he ran into financial difficulties, he robbed a bank and was sentenced to prison.
I think I get the picture...
He was just a blogger reporter and 25 innocent people also died.
Par for the course...
I'll be generous and assume you forgot the sarcasm tag.
Tatarsky posted a video in which he vowed: 'That's it. We'll defeat everybody, kill everybody, rob everybody we need to. It will all be the way we like it. God be with you.'
A group called Cyber Front Z, which refers to itself on social media as 'Russia's information troops', said it had hired out the cafe for the evening.
BTW, Tatarsky is the only stated fatality.
Don't get me wrong, if some disinterested café employees were injured then I don't approve of this sort of attack. But, at least get your facts right.
He was a bank robber sitting in jail. Then Russians let him out and sent him to kill Ukrainians. During that time they discovered his talent for making propaganda and employed him for that instead.
Actually he was a Ukrainian.
I don’t need to go to Russia to fight them when I have you right here.
Have you noticed how things went silent regards all the money and arms shipments to Ukraine? Just like snapping the fingers.
That is because what was an issue where every Western politician wanted to stand behind and show their support has become a political liability and they now would rather not talk about it.
Have you noticed how any talk about the Nordstream pipeline just disappeared? That is because the lid got blown off that we’re the ones behind it. Doesn’t look good, no one wants that credit either.
Even the Euro’s are growing weary of this war, and Germany the largest economy and biggest political influence in Europe is increasingly under pressure to end this, may it be their economy which is faltering, population where opinion polls are slipping negative...
But no worries, there is no “propaganda” in the West and a free media. Haven’t you heard, Russia lost 1,000,000 troops, Putin is assassinated, the Ruble is worthless, Ukraine has retaken all lost ground in their glorious counter attacks, and no one is buying Russian oil and gas. Hahahaha
Is the US military is in Germany and elsewhere doing direct logistical support of the war in Ukraine? What do you think...I would be shocked if they were not.
So what we’re saying is that an undeniable, unquestionable, terrorist attack on a journalist/blogger is OK as long as it’s for our cause.
This is really becoming funny how we’re somehow trying to differentiate ourselves from others, as we support a military campaign for economic gain, cheated and lied on agreements, train and even help pay for an army of mercenaries, support groups with a NAZI ideology, put a government in power which best can be described as a puppet (Mr Z), and think blatant acts of terrorism are cool and spin it that way in our media (of course that is entirely different from say Pakistan where OBL was seen as a hero).
Add that to the running list of terrorist attacks, some likely state sponsored by us, that we either committed or think are cool: https://seymourhersh.substack.com/p/how-america-took-out-the-nord-stream
So what again is the difference between us and those folks we held at GITMO?
There is an old saying which may be true: One mans terrorist is another mans freedom fighter. That apparently is true for us too.
More than logistical support.
Intel, targeting, training, etc.
Tried finding it for you but couldn’t. There is an article out there somewhere which flat out states/describes how we are developing targeting lists at Ramstein based on intel and handing that over to Ukraine (basically telling them “shoot at this spot.”)
In Poland we are running a facility to overhaul artillery pieces worn out.
Yes, we are up to our knees in this. Of course in a few years the American public will want to forget this and when it comes time for pay back (i.e. a US helicopter is shot down in Baghdad, yes we still have folks there), we’ll be all shocked and pretend like this is some outrageous act that the Russians gave someone a Verba MANPADS, an RPG30, Kornet or anti-ship missile.
They are a little busy right now. But the Russians know the language of proxy war.
Our sense of rule of law and morality are very flexible, when convenient for us, and our memory is short.
It's going to get more and more entertaining as the days go by. :)
