What’s the cliché, truth is the first casualty of war?Pross said:Am I the only one surprised by the amount of people on social media who act as though they know things that have somehow not been reported by traditional news channels?
Twitter seems to be a case of finding someone who says what you think / want to believe.

My thinking is that if news organisations with people in country can't verify what is happening on the ground then some guy on his mobile phone hundreds of miles away is even less likely to know anything worthwhile.0

Interesting to see what havoc Anonymous can cause now they have a new cyber enemy. They’ve already brought some Russian govnt department sites to their knees.
Most interesting is how they’ve said Putin’s secrets aren’t safe. If they were to release to the Russian public proof of the wealth he’s amassed, it could be what finally turns them against him.0 -

Putin was livid about it and tried to kill the guy behind them.

I don’t know, but maybe we’ll find out. Or perhaps it is other secrets he doesn’t want his population to hear of. Either way, Anonymous are a formidable enemy lurking in the shadowy corners of the internet.0 -

During the occupation in order to be allowed to do anything you were forced to sign a paper declaring allegiance to Germany.
He refused.

Whatever rumoured links he has to Putin, at least he's trying not to drag his football club down, and cause yet more upset.[Castle Donington Ladies FC - going up in '22]0 -

So they can always sell it in rubles and just watch billions burn while the currency tanks.

I find Putin's stance that sanctions are unjust and essentially threatening nuclear strikes against a bit inconsistent. He has launched a war against a sovereign state that has no ability to threaten Russia.. I know you can't just protest in Russia but how committed are the Russians to financial ruin for getting Ukraine back. Germany is going to put nuclear energy back on the table and many others are going to plan decade long projects to take them away from russian dependence.0

If you wanted to be cynical, no-one being prepared to buy would suit them. They satisfy the PR side by showing they are trying to offload their share but actually get to keep it and can get out when the market is betterrick_chasey said:

This is the thing that worries me most, if Russia continue taking losses the gloves will probably come off and they won't even bother trying to look like they are aiming to avoid civilian targets.DeVlaeminck said:Somewhat worrying how Putin will react to things apparently (hard to know the truth) not going to plan.
