Who would benefit from a false flag operation in Russia? They're already at war with Ukraine.

[-] S_204@lemm.ee 13 points 8 months ago

Russia would. They're claiming it's Ukrainian driven, giving them an excuse to intensify their attack.

25 years ago Putin bombed apartment buildings in Chechnya to give cover for the following actions.

right, but back then appearing stronk and going to war were popular moves, not how it would work now. also elections already happened

unless you mean this false flag as a pretext for withdrawing from ukraine and going all in in afghanistan (again)

[-] S_204@lemm.ee 4 points 8 months ago

They're using it as an excuse to amp up action in Ukraine, it's going to be retaliation for the attacks on the gas infrastructure.

[-] skillissuer@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 8 months ago

they could use, you know, attacks against refineries as pretext

[-] problematicPanther@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

But Isis claimed responsibility, is russia still saying that it was Ukraine?

[-] Estiar@sh.itjust.works 12 points 8 months ago

Yes they are saying that, but Russia uses the propaganda technique 'firehose of falsehoods'

. They’re claiming it’s Ukrainian driven, giving them an excuse to intensify their attack

They're already going all out with missile strikes and throwing battalions of armored assets at the line regularly.

This is to allow them to declare martial law and/or draft more bodies. Assuming it was a false flag, which I doubt.

Wasn't in Chechnya but Buynaksk (in Dagestan), Moscow, and Volgodonsk (in Rostov oblast)

A community for your defence shitposting needs

Rules

1. Be niceDo not make personal attacks against each other, call for violence against anyone, or intentionally antagonize people in the comment sections.

2. Explain incorrect defense articles and takes

If you want to post a non-credible take, it must be from a "credible" source (news article, politician, or military leader) and must have a comment laying out exactly why it's non-credible. Low-hanging fruit such as random Twitter and YouTube comments belong in the Matrix chat.

3. Content must be relevant

Posts must be about military hardware or international security/defense. This is not the page to fawn over Youtube personalities, simp over political leaders, or discuss other areas of international policy.

4. No racism / hatespeech

No slurs. No advocating for the killing of people or insulting them based on physical, religious, or ideological traits.

5. No politics

We don't care if you're Republican, Democrat, Socialist, Stalinist, Baathist, or some other hot mess. Leave it at the door. This applies to comments as well.

6. No seriousposting

We don't want your uncut war footage, fundraisers, credible news articles, or other such things. The world is already serious enough as it is.

7. No classified material

Classified ‘western’ information is off limits regardless of how "open source" and "easy to find" it is.

8. Source artwork

If you use somebody's art in your post or as your post, the OP must provide a direct link to the art's source in the comment section, or a good reason why this was not possible (such as the artist deleting their account). The source should be a place that the artist themselves uploaded the art. A booru is not a source. A watermark is not a source.

9. No low-effort posts

No egregiously low effort posts. E.g. screenshots, recent reposts, simple reaction & template memes, and images with the punchline in the title. Put these in weekly Matrix chat instead.

10. Don't get us banned

No brigading or harassing other communities. Do not post memes with a "haha people that I hate died… haha" punchline or violating the sh.itjust.works rules (below). This includes content illegal in Canada.

11. No misinformation

NCD exists to make fun of misinformation, not to spread it. Make outlandish claims, but if your take doesn’t show signs of satire or exaggeration it will be removed. Misleading content may result in a ban. Regardless of source, don’t post obvious propaganda or fake news. Double-check facts and don't be an idiot.
