Post by Nightshade »

Is Putin ready to kill us all over Ukraine?

Missile reads: “To be personally delivered to Obama.”

Putin's getting desperate.....which, of course, makes him most dangerous. All the signs of a despot desperately clinging to power amid economic and social disaster looming.

Has anyone else noticed that the missile is fake? It's a foam prop. There is a guy holding it up. Did TB seriously start a thread about a foam missile with a political slogan carried by a guy at a rally?

The Russians could bludgeon us over the head with it like a big, foam club. It might even be a fun stress reliever. We could hit them with foam Minuteman missiles and we could all have a big party doing it. It would be far better for humanity than letting loose the real thing.

You don't think it is more about the message that if it is a real missile?

If I, a regular citizen of the US, make a sign that says "to hell with Putin" and stand outside with it should this be headline news in Russia and stoke fear and uncertainty between our two countries? Context people, context. Don't be morons (I know that's asking a lot from you).

DUH. :shock:

It's an "Army Day" celebration. I doubt that a prop like that would have been paraded without government permission and perhaps sponsorship.

Of that I'm quite sure TB. Putin and his iron fist wouldn't dare show the world any counter protests concerning his leadership either. I'm sure sigma would disagree, but everyone looks through a nationalist lens, even us. :wink:

Yeah, the fact that it's sitting on someones' head kind of gave it away.

Hey, look, another picture.

The idiocy here is spectacular. "Oh clearly this the the result of state promoted ideas through citizens as proxy." Ridiculous. You all mock Sigma, but then take this guy seriously? What is the matter with you people?

The inscription on the missile does not accurately translated. Full inscription on a rocket "Обаме лично в руки (Рашкин)". Therefore, the correct translation would look like this: “To be personally delivered to Obama personally from Rashkin.” Rashkin is Валерий Фёдорович Рашкин who is one of the leaders of the Communist Party of Russia. This is quite ridiculous PR campaign was not paid by the state, and this party.

I have long understood that in America unpatriotic to doubt that is declared as patriotic. Putin did not do anything wrong, but scold him fashionable and patriotic. Go on, I will not bother you.

You and Will let those comments bother you too much, then you end up in defensive mode…and that is just what they want.
