Prediction Thread: When Will Ukraine Conquer Russia

[BeBMan]

Russia's foreign ministry has used an outdated photo online to claim that Ukraine is preparing a "dirty bomb".

The image posted on Twitter dates back to at least 2010 and was first posted by the Slovenian Radioactive Waste Agency (ARAO).

Moscow claimed that the photo showed evidence that "two organisations [in] Ukraine have been directly ordered to create the so-called dirty bomb".

"The works are at their concluding stage," the foreign ministry claimed on Twitter, quoting the defence ministry.

Ukraine and its Western allies have denounced the allegations as "absurd" and "dangerous" and have suggested that Russia was instead preparing to escalate the war.

On Wednesday, the Slovenian government confirmed that the photo used by Russia's foreign ministry belonged to the ARAO and was published without their knowledge.

According to Moscow, the photo shows bags of radioactive materials that might be used in a "dirty bomb".

But Slovenia's government said on Twitter that the image did not show "any radioactive sources listed [by Moscow]".

"It was used for professional presentations for the general and interested public as explanatory material. The photo shows smoke detectors that are subject to general use," it said.

It’s like Russia doesn’t even really care any more about their propaganda. When did they become so lazy? Frankly, I’m insulted by their lack of effort.

Yeah, read the news bit about de-satanization.

Gotta wonder what's next...they have not mentioned Cthulhu and Lord Voldemort being sighted in Ukraine yet...

It is a serious issue when the entire clergy of a country start preaching about and preparing their followers for Armageddon. Kind of like Jim Jones on a national scale.....

Hindustan Times is reporting that the Russian Black Sea Fleet Flagship Admiral Makarov took significant damage in the drone strike on Sevastopol. It appears that the Russian Navy is losing the battle against a country that has no major surface combatants.

I hope Western Navies are taking note. You can bet their opponents as well as terrorist are.

After much fuss about Biden's comments regarding NordStream it looks now he is actually innocent re the pipe attacks, as Moscow switched officially to accuse the Brits.

Everyone can blame Truss for everything that happened during her 45 days in power.

I am still betting on the blast coming from I side the pipe probably from a pig (basically an R.C. car which goes inside the pipeline) loaded with exosives. Russia was not getting any revenue from the pipeline, it faced huge legal liability for shutting the pipeline down, it was clear the EU was going to stop buying Russian gas anyway so the pipeline wasn't likely to come back online, destroying it allows them to file insurance claims, and as an added bonus it adds to the market turmoil thus enhancing a Russian geo-stratic goal.

It also avoids getting seen by satellites or radar for increased deniability.

No.

Using a pig would have been difficult, since most of them are not self-propelled and are limited to moving with the flow. Nord Stream 2 has had no flow since the initial acceptance tests, so it would have meant Russia put in an explosive while the line was still supposed to be put in operation, which would have come out on Germany's end.
