I'll keep a look out for that one.

Didn't want to ding you twice by replying to the same quote twice, but I thought I'd add this. You were looking for Translators. There's an entire library of free PDFs on the Russian Language. You know just in case those that speak the language whether they are from the country or fluent don't do it. While I often use Google Translate to translate the stuff I read, I know it's not quite reliable so I found this:

https://www.pdfdrive.com/learn-russian-books.html

There's a shit load of books on the language, from dictionaries to grammar comprehension. If you know a guy that can speed read and speed learn this, then you got a translator. It's not much, but every little piece of information is as valuable as any other help that's out there.

A quick heads up: there will be a 24-hour charity stream hosted by Vaush to help support Ukraine with humanitarian aid. These tend to raise a considerable amount of money (take a look at his Palestine fundraiser, for example), so it's not a bad idea to come by and drop a few bucks, if you don't know where to start supporting Ukraine from. It begins at 12:00PM Pacific on 03/09/2022, for those interested (that's today).

Also you can watch him suck at Elden Ring and bitch at chat, which is always a fun time.

Almost at $100k now; if y'all don't want to watch him (understandable) this is a link to the fundraiser. Anything helps.

Spread the word about it among people you know that are from Ukraine. Do it through PMs, don't tag them here.

One of Polish museums made a video of how to steal a T-72 Russian tank in less than 30 seconds. By starting its engine, not by pulling it with a tractor. It has Ukrainian subtitles added, so they will understand what to do.

Will do.

Also thermite charges. They can burn a hole in the tank and 5 feet of solid steel. Also just had a thought. Are there any tourists and vacationists staying at the Ukraine there? Because they will help out. They go to Europe to get drunk and stoned and cause epic disasters. So naturally get them drunk, stoned and dare them to fight by your side. You'll have an army of epic proportions.

Thankfully, I know someone that might be able to get the information relayed. Thank you for the video.

Good luck.

Ok. It was a long shot, but I managed to get someone on board with this. To protect their identity I won't say it here in public, but I got them to pass the tank info on.

New thing to announce, this time more humanitarian than military. This application/website has been created by Belarusian programmers - yes, lots of them do not support either Putin or Lukashenka.

People from around the world can declare rooms for refugees from Ukraine on this website. Spread the word both among people from Ukraine you know and people you think may want to help Ukrainians this way.

First off I spread the link through my persona's lore, it's on the recent newspost of my profile.

Second off something has come to my attention. Most of the time my whole thing on the matter was to encourage people to fight hard. Not just in the war sense, but in every aspect you can think of. With Psychological Warfare being my main suggestion. However, there is often always more than one way to fight and I think I may have found a way to fight smart.

Years ago, way before I joined this site, I was a member of a site called Avaaz.org. Which is essentially a petition site, which often drums up almost everything. When I first got onto it, I was mostly signing petitions against online censorship bills like SOPA. At one point I stopped going there, because I didn't think my signature or sharing said petition would come in handy. Until now. Just recently a petition was drummed up on Avaaz that may be the key to ending this conflict once and for all. And it's a means to not only fight hard, but fight smart and fight legally.

This petition calls for Putin to be put on trial for his crimes against the Ukraine. It has over 130 000 signatures on it already and it's been shared all over facebook, twitter and email. I call upon both the OP and everyone on this forum to increase that number. To put it lightly, the world is planning to place Vladimir Putin under arrest for war crimes and crimes against humanity in general.

Lots of companies cut their ties with Russia, but some of them still did not. Yale School of Management created a list of those companies. It is updated daily:

https://som.yale.edu/story/2022/over-400-companies-have-withdrawn-russia-some-remain

The most important groups are the "digging in" and "buying time". The more pressure we put on those companies through social media and through direct boycott the better.

Boycott Nestlé they refuse to get out of Russia, they're really going for that most evil corporation title lol.

I'm kinda on the fence about this one and I'll tell you why. Yes. All the known companies leaving would be a massive cripple to Russian Economy. That's pretty much why they did it in the first place. However, we shouldn't assume that greed is the only reason that some have stayed. Another way of crippling said Economy is to squeeze it for all it's worth. Safe to say, the one's that stayed behind are not so much profiting off Russia, but rather trying to squeeze Putin for all he's worth. They wouldn't be the first people to start robbing a country or government during War times.

Not saying they should stay, but at the same time, if we can't pressure them into leaving, the best bet would be to appeal to their wallets more and make life hell for Putin that way. Back west, due to a series of unfortunate events, prices for Groceries have skyrocketed so make up for the damages said events caused. What if rather than just leaving, the remaining companies would up the prices to impossible, almost illegal levels first. Then leave. Basically effectively making the country broke on the way out.

I'll be taking a break from Subway and Dunkin. Shame they're still operating in Russia. Surprised and glad Starbucks pulled out. Thanks for sharing!

Kinda weird isn't it? Subway still being in Russia now being the worst thing they've been known for since....well the other thing.

Yeahhhhhh....if you know, you know. Eugh. shiver

we boycott their gas so now the inflation in our country is increase

Another reason to boycott Leroy Merlin:

Let me introduce this if you haven't heard about the cyber attack during zelensky's speech, Israel cyber Knesset detected a possible attempt to sabotage the transmission. I do not wish to speculate but I do think that Israel is in the position america once was, basically to recognize their position in the world at this time seems fair.

If Putin is having the speech hacked, then it shows how desperate he is.

It seems there are some people in Europe still doing business with Putin in the Fossil Fuel Business. This petition came to me this morning. It has already close to 1 million signatures on it. It's a call for more public pressure during their recent meeting to discuss the war in Ukraine to get them to cease all fossil fuel business with Russia and to use alternative sources of energy to fall back on should he try to use the old need for said fossil fuels to put the squeeze on him.

Not gonna lie, the second I heard some of Europe is still working with him financially, I was absolutely disgusted. Personally I think anyone that works with someone that has no qualms killing children, my opinion on the international chains that are staying their notwithstanding. But the difference between the chains and this is that the chains are doing what they can to squeeze money out of him, which would also help cripple the economy. Whereas a business like this which requires give and take means that he is given enough money to continue to fund this operation. However, that said, like the chains, I think there's more to it than simple greed. Oil is a dirty business, both figurtatively and literally, there have been many times since the start of the Oil business, that people do anything to keep the business going including but not limited to threatening their own workers to keep going. So I'm gonna give these people the benefit of the doubt on that one. However, I suggest you all sign this. Let them know you're pissed off at them for basically stabbing you in the back with this.

Just in: Ukrainian government launched an official website with lots of information regarding ways in which you can help this country:

2 things today:

1. Not sure if you have heard about it, but this initiative has been launched: https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/us-departments-justice-and-treasury-launch-multilateral-russian-oligarch-task-force so if by any chance you can provide any useful information to your authorities... I assume this is only for US citizens;
2. Also a question for guys from US: can you by any chance confirm that this is true? https://twitter.com/RepDonBeyer/status/1508935572626284549?cxt=HHwWioC5tZO66PApAAAA If yes, then some pressure should be put on the Republican part of the US political scene.

This is exactly what I was looking for.

That's the first I've heard to that effect. Until a news source and not a tweet confirms it, I remain skeptical. Remember how many news scoops ended up being completely wrong over the past five years?

That being said, I wonder if it might have anything to do with supplies/scarcity, such as the fact a lot of rail supply lines go through Russia and the high possibility of fuel rationing in Europe. A Congresscritter could look at that and say "hell no, not in my country." He/she would probably get a good deal of support, because they could pose the question: With so much going on over here, and a looming recession, why the fuck are we sending shitloads of money to, let alone getting involved in, Ukraine? Joe Sixpack is not gonna give a shit about NATO or the UN.

Gas is $5/gallon in some parts of the US (higher in Europe), and there is going to be a lot of economic pain for Americans and Europeans as well as a result of these sanctions. Which begs the question: How much economic pain are people willing to tolerate to help out a country most people can't find on a map?

I'm willing to bet a lot less than Western leaders think. It's a game of chicken between Putin and EU/US, and it's just a matter of who blinks first. I'm guessing the West.

Reminder for the defenders and those communicating with them to maintain media discipline. Basic loose lips sink ships

Literally all of this content has been lifted from reddit. If you want to help Ukraine take the money you spend on supporter status and send it to Saint Javelin instead.

Thought this belonged in here:

F*ck Putin!
