      Yeah I’m so sick of the “oh you naughty boy, Vlad” nonsense. Get up off your arses and do something to stop it.

    So are cyber-attacks during an active war, against supporters of Ukraine, not considered acts of war? Not to mention the recent killing of military personnel on German soil? That too, not an act of war?

      Anything is an act of war, if the “victim” country chooses to take it as such.

        Wouldn’t go quit that far but using hybrid cyber attacks is definitely a warfare tactic.

    It is clear that putin wants to go out in a big bang. He does not care how that affects his fellow humans. He is a danger to everyone.

      That’s not true, in 2022 people weren’t sure about, especially since there was a gossip that putin had cancer (now looks like it was likely spread by FSB)

      We know now it was BS and just a strategy to let the West have him what he wants. putin’s ultimate goal is to control Europe and Asia, and unless the West wakes the fuck up, he will achieve it.

      He knows Russia has absolutely zero chance in conventional warfare with NATO, so that’s what hybrid one comes in that includes disinformation, sabotage, destabilization.

      I highly recommend book: The Road to Unfreedom: Russia, Europe, America by Timothy Snyder which covers history of putin’s Russia. The war already started over a decade ago, we were just sleeping through it.

    Can we seriously not fuck with the blyat’s energy infrastructure? It’s not like he could actually muster any real military force.

      What do you mean? It’s Ukraine that is destroying Russia’s refineries, to reduce the mobility of the Russian military. Why would you want them to stop defending?
