After destroying Canada, she's about to destroy... whatever's left of Ukraine. It's hard to imagine how someone could be so vile while bearing "Christ" and "Freeland" in their name—it can only be a ruse from the Antichrist.
Putin Recognizes Donbass Republics, Sends Russian Military to 'Denazify' Ukraine
- Thread starter bjorb
- Start date
Bingo. Z has just offered one for crosshairs on a silver plate (source: Vzglyad, in Russian):
By the way, Leonid Ragozin made an interesting tweet. Ragozin is a Russian journalist, one of the liberal sort, and he moved to Latvia shortly after the SVO started. Earlier, he worked from Russia for BBC, Guardian and some other Western media. Not a fan of the current Russian leadership. On January 1, he posted:

Everyone knows that CIA, just like any other intel agency and gov administration, has a special department of anonymous officials. That one just quoted must have been from there, too.
LR said:
Not necessarily fully consistent but going in the same direction. There may be several scenarios.
- It could have been a planted false leak for Arestovich to disseminate it and then WSJ to confirm it, if only partly - but why? Who would benefit from it? Perhaps those who don't like the US-RF negotiations. Who else?
- It could have been true but AA added the 'nuclear" detail to make it sound more serious; but if it wasn't a strategic facility, who would sent there almost a hundred long-range, expensive drones? Just to provoke speculations?
- It's also possible that AA got it from elsewhere, or made it up entirely, and someone(s) is interested in backing him up for their own reasons
- As for not naming the target, another set of similar possible options can be considered.
More questions than answer but interesting nevertheless.
LR cont. said:
Sure, except that WSJ, first to make it available for eng-speaking mainstream public, had done it two days after Arestovich's revelation. Who was the "taxi driver" and why AA was first?
LR cont. said:
Either would result in the same decision, but the way Putin addressed the nation on NYE was close to a confirmation IMHO.

There seems to be another vessel seized by the US, but I don't know under which flag.
US says it has seized second tanker after boarding Russian-flagged vessel linked to Venezuela
The US head of homeland security says the Coast Guard conducted "back-to-back" boarding of two "ghost fleet" tankers.

The Russian Tanker has been seized. No word from Moscow yet.
"The US European Command says the vessel has been captured over supposed “violations of sanctions”
“The vessel was seized in the North Atlantic pursuant to a warrant issued by a U.S. federal court after being tracked by USCGC Munro,” it said."
"The action against the tanker supports US President Donald Trump’s “proclamation targeting sanctioned vessels that threaten the security and stability of the Western Hemisphere,” the command noted. US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth confirmed that the seizure of the vessel was related to the “blockade of sanctioned and illicit Venezuelan oil.”

According to Ukrainian ex-advisor Arestovich, sending Western troops into Ukraine may be more about stabilizing the regime in a potential civil war. Though it seems unlikely that these troops could withstand even parts of the Ukrainian military, if these decide to turn against the current rulers.

The late stage of any empire is called Collapse .
All goes round and round on the subject of Ukraine. This theory , that theory , and behind several more lie in wait presented as viable , but the central fact is that empires die through hubris and Amerika planted that seed in Ukraine believing it was projecting strength. It did not and It was not just Nato. Perfidious Albion also suffered a mortal defeat.
To project strength is the last effort of a dying Empire. Witness Venezuela treated like refuse without compassion but with plenty of greed.
And now comes the cascade of consequences.

It is practically confirmed that Russia has used an Oreshnick in Lvov, given the location it seems mainly a message to the supposed peacekeeping troops that would arrive in Ukraine after a ceasefire (although in part it could encompass other things such as the Ukrainian drone attacks and the detention by the USA of the oil tanker that made a change to the Russian flag).

Some are saying that the target was an underground "gas storage"? It was an underground something anyway - hopefully a CIA bunker.
Putin did recently say they will "pay the price" for the assassination attempt.

We'll have to wait and see. It seems it was merely a gigantic underground storage facility for winter gas reserves. Many of the attacks Russia is carrying out tonight are targeting energy infrastructure, but I see where the rumor might have originated. There are Soviet underground facilities in the area, and we know that Kyiv moved many of its decision-making personnel to Lviv, considering it a safer area. Add to that the alleged attack on "Putin's residence," and the rumor of a retaliatory attack on high-ranking officials in an underground bunker shouldn't be too surprising.

I suppose that's an added bonus, but I'd say this was planned before the tanker business. It may also have been a test of the Oreshnik's ability to penetrate deep enough to compromise the gas storage facility in the rock layers., not directly (I don't think it can penetrate that deep - 800m) but via possible knock-on tectonic effects.
