Reason below


"
Russian pranksters posted a teaser on Tuesday morning for what they say was a dialogue conducted last week with UK Secretary of Defenсe Ben Wallace, in which he did not rule out the possibility of the UK helping Ukraine develop nuclear weapons
"

London has asked YouTube on Wednesday to censor any videos of the call between pranksters Vovan and Lexus – pretending to be the Ukrainian PM – and Defense Secretary Ben Wallace, claiming they are propaganda by the Russian state that was manipulated to show falsehoods and undermine British reputation and Kiev’s morale (hahahahahahaha)

*


US tech giants are helping the FBI’s recruitment drive against Russian diplomats stationed in the US capital, the Washington Post reported on Wednesday. Ads on Twitter, Facebook and Google are geolocated to the Russian embassy and encourage recipients to divulge information to the US security agency.

*

A growing number of Americans say that President Joe Biden should insert the United States into the Ukraine conflict, according to new polling, which shows that a majority of respondents are willing to endure economic blowback from sanctions on Russia.

Conducted by AP alongside the NORC Center for Public Affairs Research and published Wednesday, the survey shows that support for US involvement in the conflict is climbing steadily, with 40% now saying Washington should take a ‘major role’, up from just 26% last month

*

Arsenal wideman and Real Betis loanee Hector Bellerin has spoken out on Russia's attack on Ukraine and questioned why the conflict has been given more media attention than others in Palestine, Yemen and Iraq.

The 27-year-old former Spain international accused people who selectively turn their focus on the attack while ignoring conflicts in other countries of racism

*

The International Swimming Federation has suspended Russian athletes and is investigating Evgeny Rylov after the Olympic champion attended a concert where Vladimir Putin appeared

*

The president of the International Committee of the Red Cross, Peter Maurer, officially requested that an office be opened in Rostov-on-Don in southern Russia on Thursday, calling it “a good starting point” for the organization’s humanitarian work.

*

Russian Central Bank Governor Elvira Nabiullina did not attempt to resign over the Ukraine conflict, only to have her resignation personally rejected by President Vladimir Putin, the regulator said on Wednesday.

It emphasised that a story, to that effect, published by the American news agency Bloomberg was untrue. Earlier, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov had suggested that those curious inquire with Nabiullina herself.

Russian pranksters called the UK Secretary of State for Defence Ben Wallace
(The British Ministry of Defense has already stated that this interview threatens the national security of the country and asked to delete it as soon as possible)

45k people ll be unemployed ?.. How many people going unemployed in Russia in course of time .. This ll have serious consequences . Many might migrate outside to china , SE Asia , Europe usa . Are we going to see a communism 2.0 after this is over .. Because country ll be insulated to global economy and have to do everything themselves .

I do hope all this should be over in a couple of months when Putin falls victim of a coup. But well if that does not happen ... Russia will slowly become a giant version of NK totally dependent upon China for consumption goods like cars. Sad :wink:

When we say Kyiv is winning the information war, far too often we only mean information spaces we inhabit. Pulling apart the most obvious RU info op to date (as we did using semantic modelling), very clear it is targeting BRICS, Africa, Asia. Not the West really at all.

The clusters are distinct from each other in other ways than language. The red, bright green and beige clusters send WAY more retweets than the others. avg. ratio is about 4:1, whereas orange is 0.5. The accs in the middle of red/beige/green only send retweets. Prolly RT farms


something the Indian intelligence team need to look into. Tomorrow this can be replicated against India.
lol . Rather difficult for the Russians to appeal to Westerners ,given the banning of Russian media outlets, here, specifically Russia Today and Sputnik.



EU officials defend move to ban RT and Sputnik amid censorship claims



European Union officials on Tuesday defended the 27-nation bloc's decision to ban Russian state-controlled media outlets from broadcasting in the region as decisive steps to check a Kremlin-led “information war".


Speaking at the European Parliament during a debate on foreign interference and disinformation, the EU's top diplomat Josep Borrell brushed off critics who say the EU is threatening freedom of information with the ban on Sputnik and RT/Russia Today.

“They are not independent media, they are assets, they are weapons, in the Kremlin's manipulation ecosystem," Borrell told lawmakers.

We are not trying to decide what is true and what is false. We don't have ministers of the Truth. But we have to focus on foreign actors who intentionally, in a coordinated manner, try to manipulate our information environment."

The EU has decided to suspend the broadcasting activities of Sputnik and RT/Russia Today in the bloc until Russia ends its war in Ukraine and stop disinformation campaigns in member states.

.................

If the information is bad, democracy is bad," he said, adding that information should be a protected good. “If the information is systematically contaminated by lies and twisted, citizens can't have a clear understanding of reality and their political judgment is similarly twisted."

Ya'll Nibbiars The Strange things are happening on the Moscow Stock Exchange. The authorities effectively stopped trading on the stock market for several weeks and were supposed to be afraid of a strong fall against the backdrop of sanctions. As they joked, they were afraid to see the depth of the bottom. And Today, trading opened and instead of falling, the shares of most campaigns began to grow. The What a twist.

Why do you assume that favouring Russia means importing their weapons.

Most of us are more in favour of indigenous weapons.
If you read the original post, the OP is wanting to procure more weapons from Russia and was clearly pointing out how Indian is the biggest purchaser of Russian weapons and should continue to remain biggest purchaser of Russian weapons.
Even if accept it or not Russia has become biggest liability to Indian strategic maneuvering. This is long before Ukraine conflict when Russia started cozing up to PRC.
Also all other countries sell us weapons without meddling in our affairs,only the USA wants to control our internal stuff to the minutae of laws just because it got an on paper quad membership and for the selling of limited no of non strategic weapons.
Russia is the biggest threat to Indian MIC.
Currently Su-75 is the greatest threat to AMCA program. At the whim import lobby will make IAF/MOD change requirement of AMCA. This has happened with several Indian projects.
T-90 scuttled Arjun
Smerch 9K58 MBRL is reducing quantity of Pinaka MBRL
AK-202 scuttled MCIWS
Pantsiris causing problems for QRSAM
and the list goes on.

Two big news goys:

Shoigu took part in the Russian Security Council meeting which is on video, earlier there were rumors that he disappeared somewhere for 2 weeks.

Second, the Russian Defense Ministry has made a statement saying an investment fund led by Hunter Biden is involved in financing biolaboratories in Ukraine.

Well well well, all the worms are coming out of the woodwork.
