drran··on BP quits Russia in up to $25B hit after Ukraine invasion
RF is aggressor in Ukraine since 2014, but RF cannot win over Ukraine, thus RF has constant fear of losing the war with Ukraine, so they are so sensitive to any military or political help to Ukraine. Yes, RF wants for their target to be alone, while Ukraine don't want to be at 1:1 war with a much larger opponent.

RF invaded into Ukraine, so if Ukraine will join NATO, then Ukraine will leverage that and RF will be kicked out from Crimea and Donbass. This is THE problem for RF.

RF military advantage is not overwhelming. RF sent 150k Russians against 280k Ukrainians with years of experience of war + volunteers. RF has more planes, but Ukraine has better air defense. RF has more tanks, but Ukraine has more anti-tank weapons.
drran··on EU to Ban RT and Sputnik
> Russia is not at war with the EU though?

> RF is at information war with the West for about a decade.

I just answered your question.

> So is China

So, you know the answer already. There are countries, which cannot attack West directly, so they attack indirectly, using propaganda. Some countries are better at that than others. However, one mad country directly attacks another country now, which tries to join the Western block, to keep them in their area of influence. This is the direct attack at almost the member of the West with goal to make West weaker.

RF is at information war with the West for about a decade.

RF is not a free society. Their media spokes what their leader allows them to spoke. They have multibillion budget every year dedicated to produce fakes and FUD.

drran··on Turkish drone strike Russian forces
Carpet bombing of the largest country in Europe with what? They lost about 20 planes in 48 hours, i.e. one plane every 2 hours. At such rate, they will lose all their aviation, everything that can fly, in less than 6 months.

The man in the video says that this is the job of the self-defense unit. After 8 years of war, Ukraine has a lot of man with practical experience in this kind of war.

Here is the same video: https://www.pravda.com.ua/news/2022/02/27/7326510/ .

The text says that they are stopped by an army unit with help of self-defense unit (territorial defense unit).

Ukrainians use Ukrainian alphabet and Ukrainian language. Russians are using Russian alphabet and Russian language. WTF?
drran··on Residential building struck by a missile in southwestern Kyiv Saturday morning
RF has multiple billions of dollars in budget to make fakes en masse at professional level.

Ukraine is busy fighting for survival.

It looks like they look equal in your eyes, so RF is very weak and Ukraine is very strong.

Declare war with US and NATO then.

> According to Rob Lee's twitter it appears Grand Parent's deduction is correct because previously a Ukranian Su-27 that blew up in Kiev was being falsely reported as Russian jet.

It's Russian Su-27. Text is in Russian language on the plane. Ukrainian army uses Ukrainian language only for 20+ years.

drran··on How Russia Took over the Internet in Crimea and Eastern Ukraine
Ukraine means «Fortified area» in Ukrainian or Polish. It's «укріплення» (fortifications) + «край»(area)/«країна»(country) = «україна». A modern Ukrainian word with the same meaning is «укріпрайон» (fortified area). It's started by Poland as a set of fortifications to protect eastern Poland against nomads from the East. Multiple ukrains were built. Ukrainian Cossacks were used for defense. When lines of defense covered large territory, the whole protected area received the name «fortified area» (Ukraine).

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guillaume_Le_Vasseur_de_Beaupl... for details.

Russians are trying to downplay this and replace Oo at the beginning with Oh, to create Russian word Outskirt instead.

drran··on Is Grammarly a keylogger? What can you do about it?
It looks like Russians want to a) spread doubt, b) force users to look for alternatives, so they will find and install their trojans, to try them.

LOL. This trojan is 5 years old.
