Time for some YEBID-26?


Spammers don’t tend to care all that much about what they post or where as long as it feeds them those sweet, sweet clicks.


I wonder if the quality control is as good for those as it is for their tanks.


Where does it say anything about the US buying?


Guess that makes me the jackass. I owe that farmer an apology and a new kitchen table.


Yeah but only for my FBI application.


Got anything to support the claim in your post title or just an article that says nothing about U.S. imports?


No, it’s some TikTok BS.


Couldn’t break into the most safety-critical systems or potential surveillance features yet but that doesn’t mean they won’t or that the government whose citizens built the systems can’t. Still demonstrated significant risks.


Nice pick.


This announcement is missing a soundtrack.


And, more generally, read sidebars.


At least when their barely-a-worthwhile-orgy of a village falls apart, they’ll be able to seek asylum within easy walking distance.


If it’s the farmers acting on their own, simple enough, I’m wrong. No issues with that.
If they were receiving support from the Russians (encouragement, incitement, materials, methods, etc.) or there was more direct involvement, the goal may be destruction and disruption as punishment for the ongoing support of Ukraine’s defense. It’s part of the Budget Day agenda so that may be their motivation. Being able to plausibly point the finger in other directions reduces the risk of consequences even if there’s a reason to suspect that they had something to do with it. Uncertainty in the immediate aftermath could buy time for their people to get out or hide while police are looking at the farmers and then they can drop hints without explicitly claiming responsibility.
My usual assumption is that anything I can think of is already in a Kremlin memo with pros and cons scribbled in the margins. Doesn’t make it true but it means I’m not surprised as often.


Clever gir- splat!


If I were in charge of the operation (calm down, Interpol, I’m not!), I’d have my people make use of the event for cover or manipulate those activists into doing it for me. Absolutely could be ordinary homegrown terrorism but Russia has been more aggressive than usual lately which, for them, is saying something.


I’ll remember: no rushing.
It’s like eradication but also irradiation for some reason.
