Who would be Putins cancer surgeon? Which bit to cut out...and which to leave?

Surgeons did everything they could to excise the swarming vulgar mass of infected virulency (guess what I was listening to earlier :p), so come May 9th there's nowt but a rotting tumour sitting atop the Kremlin balcony watching the parade.
 
I haven't checked to see if this has been posted already. No apologies if it has; it's too good to miss. Long-ish read about a family that ends up sharing their cellar with invading soldiers. The fact the soldiers allowed this rather than resorting to horrors seen elsewhere may make it an outlier experience, but I prefer to hope they're more likely to represent the majority.

Anyway, great read.

Germany's dependency on Russian gas isn't really the fault of their government (they knew it was a bad idea at the time) its the fault of the people. In the wake of Fukushima they demanded the country begin closing it's nuclear plants and made it clear that promising to do so was a prerequisite to getting votes, so the politicians had no option but to acquiesce even though it would require increasing coal/oil/gas generation thus making the country more dependant on Russian imports at a time Putin was becoming more hostile to the west.

Wonder if Russia remembers the winter war from back when they were the soviet Union.

Probably, the problem is all they remember about it is that they won and forced their enemy to surrender land and money. The amount of Russians who had to die to achieve that victory is a mere footnote to their history.

"Advance on the enemy until they run out of ammunition" Has pretty much been the main Russian combat doctrine for 200+ years now.

That's assuming they even reveal the true number of soldiers that died. They probably claim it was a near peaceful takeover.

It looks like posting videos of "bad" people dying is fine now, I'm sure the Mods must have all got togther and agreed this at some point and just forgotten to change the thread title.

The thread subtitle was originally set to something like "do not post graphic images" (I.E no dead/injured humans) but was recently revised to what it is now (I.E no explosions where it's obvious people died), however because the subtitle doesn't fit in a browser tab most posters haven't noticed the change yet so still post videos of attacks, it will get moderated eventually.

Even your landslide mention was leaning towards the kind of tsunamis generated by earthquakes (EDIT: Though that is kind of irrelevant to the main point of this as using nuclear weapons to generate a landslide generating a tsunami is another take on it again).

No, it isn't, a big land slide underwater is not the same as an earthquake. This is all pointless now, you seem to have backtracked from your earlier posts where you wanted to object to my skepticism re: nuclear weapons generating Tsunamis but it's all rather moot.

The main point is the Russian propaganda guy is full of ****, they're not going to detonate a torpedo and cause some huge wave that really does anything of value in terms of attacking the UK.
