Tonight I’m planning to upgrade the servers to #FreeBSD 15 which will likely mean a few hours outage for agora.echelon.pl and video.echelon.pl

Piotr Kaszuwara (TVP.info):

A family survived the night in this flat in #Kyiv: a father, mother and their daughter, who was not yet two years old. A Russian drone struck the façade of their block of flats. They survived because they were in the bathroom, behind two walls. The first strike was followed by another. One of the medics who had come to save the lives of others was killed on the spot.

Granted how saturated US is with ammunition and weapons, I wouldn’t be surprised if this ends in actual kinetic drones being used against ICE if they continue their current course.

A classic “peaceful Russian programmer who does not support the war but”. How it started (he’s talking about the ‘Oreshnik’ threat against Poland):

These aren’t official channels. Why are you stirring up trouble? Aren’t you laughing? I could create a similar channel to threaten Russia from Poland. What would change?

How it developed (he’s saw the videos of Russian officials threatening everyone in the world):

People laugh at it in Russia, but you’re unironically trying to prove something to me here. Every country has propaganda. Welcome. But you’re going to indulge in hysteria. Putin started a war I don’t support, but he had his reasons. What do you think about what happened in Venezuela?

How it ended (he saw the video with Putin’s open threats against Poland):

Ahah. Fuck, Putin tells you in plain Russian that if the Poles get involved, they’ll get their arses kicked. You’re trying to feed me some bullshit. Don’t get involved with us, don’t stir things up, and preserve your sovereignty. Don’t get involved with Ukraine. Just sit there and whore yourselves out. No one will touch you. You don’t like something? Go whine!

Wise Ukrainian folks who ban such scum without any interaction, but I was indeed misled by his initial apparently polite comment 🤷

Да ладно, иди уже на хуй. Ты гандон начал с ‘это неоифциальный канал’ а потом когда я тебе показал Путина который говорит то же само, ты сразу ускользил к ‘мы смеемся’. Так вали в свой чебурнет дальше смеятся, мне неинтересно.

Would you also say that Putin’s statements, just like the one I’ve quoted, are ‘fart in a puddle’? I’d love to agree with you if that old fart hasn’t actually started the largest war in Europe since WW2.

P.S. and you certainly haven’t watched it all in 1 minute

@nprofile1q...

That is my point. Have you watched the videos? I guess not, because you wouldn’t ask silly questions that prove you didn’t. Are these also from ‘unofficial media outlets’ and what, in your opinion, is the difference between ‘official’ and ‘unofficial’ in media that is 100% controlled by the state?

If you’re still unconvinced, here’s Putin literally voicing the same threat as your ‘unofficial channel’:

And some more Russian officials doing the same:

you’re misinterpreting the law. It’s about discrediting the army, but you can write whatever you want.

No, you seem to be just ignorant about your own’s country’s censorship laws. I would advise you educate yourself about how the law is being applied because you may just as well fall victim of it, naively believing ‘you can write whatever you want’. The law literally bans ‘spreading knowingly false information about the use of armed forces’ etc, which very much would include hypothetical Russian strikes on targets in Poland - if it was ‘knowingly false’. If it’s not prosecuted, it means such postulates are at least tolerated by Russian MoD and, more likely, intentionally sent to channel admins in “metodichki”.

Also, just watch the Putin’s video…

Because in #Poland you wouldn’t be jailed based on article 207.3 Criminal Code of Russian Federation which makes it a crime to spread “knowingly false information about the use of Armed Forces”, which implies that whatever these channels are posting is either instructed or at least allowed by #Russia President’s Administration. If they don’t they delete these posts very fast or are jailed, like the admin of “Moscow Calling” or Girkin.

Also, if you have missed it previously, Russian state TV has aired very similar threats in the past so please spare me your “I could run such channel too” stories:
